leviter f errugineo-pubescentibus ; inflorescentiis terminalibus, 

 paniculatis, circiter 15 cm longis, bracteolis oblongo-obovatis ad 

 lanceolatis, 1.5 ad 2 cm longis, deciduis ; sepalis 4 ; petalis 6. 



A tall tree with stout branches, the ultimate branchlets stout, 

 ferruginous-pubescent, 4 to 5 mm in diameter, reddish-brown. 

 Leaves thickly coriaceous, mostly oblong, about 10 cm long, 4 to 

 5 cm wide, base acute, the apex obscurely acuminate, obtuse or 

 sometimes rounded, pale when dry, the upper surface shining, the 

 lower more brownish-yellow and, at least when young, sparingly 

 ferruginous-pubescent; nerves spreading, rather distinct, about 

 16 to a centimeter; petioles dark brown, pubescent, about 1.5 cm 

 long. Inflorescence a terminal panicle, all parts very densely 

 ferruginous-pubescent, in nearly mature bud up to 15 cm long, 

 many-flowered, bipinnately paniculate, each flower subtended by 

 a very thick, densely pubescent, deciduous, oblong-oblanceolate 

 to oblong-obovate bracteole 1.5 to 2 cm in length, the pedicels 

 about 1 cm long. Sepals 4, densely pubescent, concave, the two 

 outer ones about 10 mm long and 8 mm wide, the two inner 

 ones orbicular, about 1 cm in diameter. Petals 6, in bud subor- 

 bicular, very slightly pubescent. Stamens very numerous. 

 Ovary glabrous.

For the genus a rather characteristic species. It is apparently allied 

 to Calophyllum blancoanum PL & Tr., from which it differs in its very 

 densely ferruginous-pubescent inflorescence, younger branches, and to a 

 less degree the lower surfaces of its leaves, in its prominent bracteoles 

 which are up to 2 cm in length, and in its thickly coriaceous, more coarsely 

 nerved, rather differently shaped leaves.

Palawan, near Taytay, Merrill 9387, May, 1913, in bamboo thickets 

 at about sea level. Probably referable here is a single specimen from the 

 Province of Camarines, Luzon, For. Bur. 21750 Fischer, but this specimen 

 has leaves 65 cm long and 25 cm wide, the base broadly rounded and dis- 

 tinctly cordate. 



The species is new to the Philippines. Perak, Singapore {Ridley 5966.'),
