1.5 mm in diameter; style very short, stout; stigma depressed- 

 globose or subdisciform.

 to 100 meters. 



A species apparently belonging in the group with Santiria beccarii 

 Engl., but well characterized by being entirely glabrous. It is probably 

 most closely allied to the Philippine S. glabra Merr., from which it is 

 readily distinguished by its larger, more numerously nerved, caudate- 

 acuminate leaves and its longer panicles. 



SANTIRIA LAGUNENSIS sp. nov. § Eusantiria ? 



Arbor alta partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque leviter fur- 

 furaceis exceptis glabra; foliis usque ad 20 cm longis, foliolis 

 5 vel 6, oblongo-ovatis, integris, in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, 

 usque ad 11 cm longis, subcoriaceis, acuminatis, basi acutis ad 

 rotundatis, nervis utrinque circiter 8 ; paniculis axillaribus, usque 

 ad 7 cm longis, leviter ferrugineo-furfuraceis, e basi ramosis. 



A tree, apparently tall, glabrous except the rather densely 

 ferruginous-furfuraceous tips of the branchlets and the slightly 

 furfuraceous inflorescence. Branches pale-gray, terete, some- 

 what striate, glabrous, the tips somewhat brownish. Leaves 

 about 20 cm long, the leaflets usually 6, sometimes 5, oblong- 

 ovate, subcoriaceous, pale and shining when dry, 8 to 11 cm 

 long, 2.5 to 5 cm wide, entire, apex narrowed, rather prominently 

 acuminate, base acute to rounded ; lateral nerves about 8 on each 

 side of the midrib, slender but distinct, anastomosing, the reti- 

 culations lax; petiolules 7 to 10 mm long. Panicles axillary, 

 about 7 cm long, branched at or from near the base, the branches 

 few, the lower ones up to 2 cm long, the younger parts distinctly 

 but minutely ferruginous-furfuraceous. Flowers 3-merous, the 

 young buds globose, rather numerous. Young fruits globose, 

 black when dry, 8 mm in diameter, the stigma lateral. 



Luzon, Province of Laguna, San Antonio, Bur. Sci. 20505 Ramos, Feb- 

 ruary, 1913, forested slopes. 



Somewhat resembling Santiria nitida Merr., but the inflorescence entirely 

 different. The species is characterized by its minutely furfuraceous, more 

 or less ferruginous indumentum on the growing tips of the branchlets 

 and on the inflorescence, otherwise quite glabrous.
