in Parinarium with doubt, and expresses the opinion that, when mature 

 fruits are known, a separate genus might be formed with advantage for 

 the species, apparently not realizing that two generic names, Angelesia 

 Korth. and Trichocarya Miq., had already been proposed for an identical 

 species. 



Angelesia splendens Korth. is represented by the following material: 

 Malay Peninsula, Setul, Ridley 15040': Malacca, Griffith 20U7 , Maingay 

 619, Derry 189, 1180: Perak, King's collector 8599, 8680, 8711. Penang, 

 Curtis IJta, 1U7, 853, King's collector 127U, 1A72, Ridley s. n. Borneo, 

 Sarawak, Native collector 78U, Bureau of Science; southern Borneo, 

 Korthals. Sumatra, Koorders, and the Philippine material cited above. 



PARINARIUM Aublet 

 PARINARIUM VILLAMILII sp. nov. 



Arbor alta partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque exceptis 

 glabra; foliis coriaceis, oblongis, acuminatis, usque ad 16 cm 

 longis, nervis utrinque circiter 12, basi subtus 2-glandulosis, 

 nervis reticulisque utrinque minute scaberulis, ramulis junioribus 

 stipulisque longe adpresse ciliato-hirsutis, inflorescentiis axillar- 

 ibus, racemosis (vel paniculatis?), adpresse pubescentibus ; fruc- 

 tibus ellipsoideis, 2.5 ad 3 cm longis. 



A tree reaching a height of 27 m, glabrous except the in- 

 florescence and the younger parts. Branchlets slender, terete, 

 dark reddish-brown and somewhat glaucous, the very young ones 

 appressed-ciliate-hirsute with long, rather pale hairs, similar 

 hairs on the stipules, younger petioles, and near the base of the 

 leaf on the midrib beneath in young leaves. Leaves oblong, coria- 

 ceous, pale when dry, 12 to 16 cm long, 4 to 8 cm wide, rather 

 prominently acuminate, the acumen obtuse, base acute to nearly 

 rounded, with two small glands on the lower surface near the 

 junction with the petiole; lateral nerves about 12 on each side 

 of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, curved, anastomos- 

 ing, these and the reticulations minutely scaberulous on both 

 surfaces ; petioles 5 mm long or less, at maturity quite glabrous ; 

 stipules oblong-lanceolate, acute or obtuse, about 1 cm long, with 

 scattered, appressed, long, pale hairs. Racemes (or panicles?) 

 axillary, appressed-pubescent, in fruit up to 9 cm in length. 

 Fruit ellipsoid, brown, 2.5 to 3 cm long (immature), prominently 

 verruculose, the pedicels stout, pubescent, about 5 mm long, the 

 persistent sepals pubescent on both surfaces, the tube villous 

 within, stamens apparently at least 30. 



Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Margosatubig, For. Bur. 2186S 

 Villamil, June 9, 1914, forested slopes, altitude about 80 meters. 



Among the Philippine species most closely allied to Parinarium laurinum 

 A. Gray, but entirely different in vegetative characters.
