ARTHROPHYLLUM Blume 

 ARTHROPHYLLUM CENABREI sp. nov. 



Arbor glabra, circiter 10 m alta, ramulis ultimis circiter 5 mm 

 diametro; foliis superioribus usque ad 10 cm longis, 3- ad 5-folio- 

 latis, vel ultimis 1-foliolatis, foliolis plerumque ellipticis, 4.5 ad 

 6 cm longis, brevissime obtuse acuminatis, brunneo-olivaceis, 

 nitidis, chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, nervis utrinque 3 vel 4, 

 tenuibus ; pedunculis circiter 4 cm longis, pedicellis 8 mm longis, 

 fructibus ovoideis, 7 mm diametro. 



A glabrous tree about 10 m high, the ultimate branches about 

 5 mm in diameter. Upper leaves pinnate, up to 10 cm long, the 

 leaflets mostly 5, sometimes 3, or the uppermost leaves reduced 

 to simple leaflets, the rachis and petiole about 4 cm long, the leaf- 

 lets mostly elliptic, 4.5 to 6 cm long, 2.5 to 3.5 cm wide, charta- 

 ceous to subcoriaceous, very shortly and obtusely acuminate, base 

 acute, brownish olivaceous and slightly shining when dry ; lateral 

 nerves slender, 3 or 4 on each side of the midrib ; petiolules 5 to 

 10 mm long. Peduncles about 4 cm long, umbellately arranged 

 at the tips of the branchlets, usually, however, with solitary in- 

 florescences in the axils of the uppermost leaves, thus forming a 

 somewhat leafy inflorescence. Fruits 5 to 8 in each umbel, ovoid, 

 about 7 mm in diameter, their pedicels 8 to 10 mm in length. 



Cebu, Maraag, For. Bur. 283Jf3 Cenabre & de la Cruz, March 

 12, 1921. On slopes at an altitude of about 600 meters. Local 

 name bingleu. 



A species well charactized by its small leaflets which are 

 gradually reduced in number, at least on the uppermost branch- 

 lets. In general this species seems to be most closely allied to 

 Arthrophyllum pulgarense Elm. but is at once distinguishable by 

 its very few leaflets.
