cm wide, the apex broadly rounded to broadly and shortly obtuse- 

 acuminate, base somewhat decurrent-acuminate, marg'ins crenu- 

 late or crenulate-denticulate, the upper surface smooth and 

 shining, dark-olivaceous when dry, the lower surface paler, 

 brown, obscurely glandular-maculate ; lateral nerves about 15 

 on each side of the midrib, slender, distinct, anastomosing, more 

 prominent on the lower than on the upper surface ; petioles 5 to 7 

 mm long. Flowers 5-merous, axillary, solitary, the peduncles gla- 

 brous, curved, stout, about 2 cm long. Calyx glabrous, the lobes 

 orbicular to orbicular-reniform, broadly rounded, coriaceous, 

 concave, about 7 mm long, 6 to 8 mm wide, margins sometimes 

 slightly ciliate, not glandular. Petals obovate, broadly rounded, 

 about 1.8 cm long, 1.3 cm wide, the exposed median portions of 

 the back rather densely appressed-pubescent with pale hairs 

 otherwise glabrous. Stamens about 50; filaments 4 to 8 mm 

 long, slightly hirsute; anthers oblong-lanceolate, acute or acumi- 

 nate, slightly hirsute, 4 mm long. Ovary ovoid, glabrous, 

 narrowed upward into the glabrous style, 5-celled, the ovules 

 indefinite. 



Luzon, Province of Rizal, Oriud, Loher 5604, December, 1905. 



A characteristic species, apparently allied to Adinandra lamponga Miq., 

 but differing in many details. It is well characterized, among the Phil- 

 ippine forms, by being nearly glabrous, the only pubescent parts being the 

 very small vegetative buds, the median parts of the petals, outside, and the 

 stamens. 



ADINANDRA M ACGREGORII sp. nov. 



Arbor circiter 15 m alta, plus minusve villosa ; fohis coriaceis, 

 ellipticis ad oblongo-ellipticis, usque ad 10 cm longis, supra 

 nitidis, gabris, subtus adpresse villosis, basi acutis ad subro- 

 tundatis, apice breviter acuminatis, margine distincte minute- 

 que glanduloso-denticulatis, nervis utrinque 12 ad 15, distinctis; 

 sepalis extus villosis, petalis late ellipticis, rotundatis, circiter 

 1.4 cm longis; staminibus 35, antheris parce villosis; ovario 

 4-loculare, dense pallide villoso. 



A tree about 15 m in height, the buds and growing branchlets 

 very densely appressed-villous with pale hairs, the petioles, lower 

 surfaces of the leaves, and flowers less densely villous. Branches 

 terete, grayish, glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic to oblong- 

 elliptic, 5 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, apex shortly acuminate, 

 base somewhat rounded to somewhat acute, margins very 

 minutely glandular-denticulate, the upper surface olivaceous 

 when dry, glabrous and shining, the lower much paler, with 

 scattered, more or less appressed, pale hairs; lateral nerves
