PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 281 



cent. Petals glabrous, elliptic to obovate, cleft to the middle. 

 Filaments as long as the sepals; anthers about 0.5 mm long. 

 Fruit apparently obovoid (immature) , 1 to 1.5 cm long, externally 

 densely fulvous-pubescent, apparently 1-seeded. 



Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Port Banga, Bur. Sci. 11771 Robinson, 

 July 5, 1910, growing at the edge of the forest. 



A species very similar in appearance Dichapetalum luzoniense Merr. & 

 Rolfe, and distinguishable only by some minor characters. The leaves 

 are quite different in shape, not narrowed to the base, acute, not at all 

 acuminate, with a few more nerves and more densely pubescent on the 

 lower surface than in the Luzon species. D. luzoniense Merr. & Rolfe is 

 manifestly a woody vine, while D. robinsonii is described as a tree, reclining, 

 and reaching a height of 8 m. The inflorescence is also subterminal, not 

 strictly axillary, and not long-peduncled.

Arbor alta, glabra, vel partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 

 minute puberulis; foliis 30 ad 40 cm longis, imparipinnatis ; 

 foliolis 11 ad 15, nitidis, crasse coriaceis, oblongis vel oblongo- 

 ovatis, acuminatis, basi obliquis, valde inaequilateralibus, sub- 

 acutis vel rotundatis, usque ad 14 cm longis; paniculis folia 

 aequantibus, glabris vel obscure puberulis; floribus breviter 

 pedicellatis, petalis quam sepalis vix longioribus, segmentis 

 calycinis auctis, anguste oblongis, obtusis, usque ad 10 cm longis. 



A tall tree, reaching a height of 25 m, glabrous or nearly so. 

 Ultimate branches thickened, 1 to 1.5 cm thick, grayish or 

 brownish, marked with large petiolar scars, glabrous, or the 

 growing tip somewhat puberulent. Leaves somewhat crowded 

 at the ends of the branchlets, 30 to 40 cm long, their petioles 

 stout. Leaflets 11 to 15, oblong to oblong-ovate, thickly coria- 

 ceous, 8 to 15 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, shining, inequilateral, 

 entire, the apex acuminate, the base oblique, one side of the 

 lamina much broader than the other, usually broadly rounded, 

 the narrower side usually acute; nerves about 14 on each side 

 of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing, the reticulations distinct ; 

 petiolules about 8 mm long. Panicles in the upper axils, as 

 long as the leaves, glabrous or very slightly puberulent, their 

 rachises stout, straight, the branches rather few, scattered, the 

 lower ones 10 cm long or less, the upper ones shorter. Flowers 

 4-merous, short-pedicelled. Calyx at anthesis slightly puberu- 

 lent, 4-lobed, the lobes about 6 mm long, obtuse, somewhat 

 spreading. Petals 4, triangular-ovate, obtuse, glabrous, reti-
