datis, apice acutis vel breviter acuminatis, utrinque obscure 

 foveolatis, subtus plus minusve glandulosis, nervis primariis 

 utrinque 16 ad 20, tenuibus, quam secundariis reticulisque vix 

 magis distinctioribus ; floribus in ramis fasciculatis, pedunculis 

 sub fructu 3 ad 4 cm longis. 



A small tree about 5 m high, quite glabrous. Branches terete, 

 pale, the younger ones brownish-yellow or yellow, somewhat 

 compressed or angled, wrinkled when dry. Leaves opposite, 

 oblong, subcoriaceous, 15 to 25 cm long, 6 to 9 cm wide, base 

 rounded to acute, apex acute or shortly acuminate, margins re- 

 curved, both surfaces pale when dry, shallowly foveolate, the 

 foveolae on the lower surface often glandular; primary lateral 

 nerves very slender, obscure, 16 to 20 on each side of the mid- 

 rib, scarcely more distinct than are the secondary nerves and 

 the reticulations; petioles wrinkled, 1.5 to 2 cm long. Flowers 

 fascicled on the branches below the leaves, the subpersistent 

 petals oblong, about 5 mm long, the stamens very numerous, about 

 6 mm long. Young fruits subglobose, about 1.5 cm in diameter, 

 much wrinkled when dry, brownish, apparently when mature 1- 

 celled and 1-seeded, when young at least 2-celled.

The first representative of the genus to be found in the Philippines, 

 Ochrocarpus pentapetalus F.-Vill., based on Tovomita pentapetala Blanco 

 being a Calophyllum and a synonym of C amplexicaule Choisy. Ochro- 

 carpus ramiflorus appears to be most closely allied to O. siamensis T. 

 Anders, from which it differs in its acute or acuminate, fewer nerved 

 leaves and longer pedicels.
