PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 307 



6 mm long, thicker than the three somewhat petaloid inner ones 

 which are broadly ovate, rounded or retuse, somewhat longer 

 than outer two and with thin margins. Petals 8 mm long, about 

 6 mm wide, glabrous, elliptic-obovate, more or less retuse. 

 Stamens about 25 ; filaments stout, 3 mm long ; anthers narrowly 

 oblong, as long as the filaments. Ovary depressed, glabrous, 

 somewhat 5-sulcate, 5-celled. Style 2 mm long, divided into 5, 

 slender, 4 mm long arms.

A species at once distinguishable by its dense indumentum on the younger 

 parts, composed of long, slender, spreading, setae-like hairs. In this char- 

 acter it differs from all the known Philippine forms. Another distinctive 

 character is its cauliflory, although this is by no means uncommon in the 

 genus.

CALOPHYLLUM L. 



CALOPHYLLUM KUNSTLERI King, in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 59' (1890)

 1910: Province of Laguna, San Antonio, For. Bur. 13197 Curran, March, 

 1912. 



Not previously reported from the Philippines; Malay Peninsula and 

 Borneo. 



My conception of Calophyllum kunstleri King is based on the original de- 

 scription by King, and the later one by Vesque, together with a cotype 

 (King's collector 5328) preserved in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science. 

 While the Philippine form shows some very slight differences, it appears 

 to me to agree with King's species in all essential characters. A specimen 

 from Borneo, Sarawak, Foxworthy 302, appears also to be referable to the 

 same species.
