presso-globosis, circiter 1.5 cm diametro, in siccitate brunneis, 

 rugosis, 3- vel 4-locellatis, sepalis 4, persistentibus integris. 



A shrub or small tree 3 to 7 m high, quite glabrous. Branches 

 terete, slender, straw-colored or yellowish-green. Leaves op- 

 posite, chartaceous to subcoriaceous, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 

 pale and shining when dry, 7 to 13 cm long, 2.5 to 4.5 cm wide, 

 subequally narrowed to the acute base and the shortly acuminate 

 apex, the margins distinctly crenulate-serrate, the midrib very 

 prominent; lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the midrib, 

 slender, laxly anastomosing, the reticulations slender, lax; peti- 

 oles about 5 mm long. Inflorescence axillary, solitary, slender, 

 usually forked near the apex, apparently few-flowered, up to 

 10 cm long in fruit, the bracts in pairs, lanceolate, acuminate, 

 about 1.5 mm long. Flowers 4-merous. Fruits depressed-glo- 

 bose, brown when mature, about 1.5 cm in diameter, 3- or 4-celled, 

 the pericarp coriaceous, wrinkled. Seeds 1 in each cell, attached 

 near the apex of the cell, brown, about 8 mm long, the upper 

 one-third surrounded by a thin brown aril. 



Luzon, Province of Bataan, Mount Mariveles, Elmer 664i (type), 

 November, 1904, Whitford s. n., For. Bur. 2639 Meyer, February, 1905 

 (the two latter with mature fruits) : Province of Tayabas, For. Bur. 10306 

 Curran, April, 1908. From this can scarcely be distinguished For. Bur. 

 6^57 Everett, from Cebu, February, 1907, and this specimen probably 

 represents a form of the same species. In forests, altitude about 800 

 meters. 



Duplicates of some of the above specimens were studied by me in the 

 Kew Herbarium in December, 1907, and the memorandum then made was 

 attached to one of the sheets in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science 

 to the effect that the material represented a new species of Euonymus; later 

 Mr. Elmer added the specific name marivelensis (sub. Euonymus) to our 

 specimen of his No. 66H- A further study of the material leads me to 

 consider that the species should be treated under the genus Glyptopetalutn.
