species in having the branches and branchlets terete instead of 

 angled. 



CALOPHYLLUM BRACHYPHYLLUM sp. nov. 



Arbor parva, glaberrima, ramulis tenuibus, plus minusve an- 

 gulatis; foliis crasse coriaceis, late ovatis ad elliptico-ovatis, 1.5 

 ad 2.5 cm longis, basi late rotundatis, apice rotundatis vel re- 

 tusis; petiolo 1 ad 2 mm longo; fructibus globosis, laevis, 1.5 cm 

 diametro. 



A small glabrous tree, or the very tips of the branches ob- 

 scurely puberulent, the branches grayish, the branchlets slender, 

 usually somewhat angled, reddish-brown. Leaves thickly co- 

 riaceous, broadly ovate to elliptic-ovate, 1.5 to 2.5 cm long, 1.2 

 to 2 cm wide, the base broadly rounded, the apex rounded or often 

 retuse; lateral nerves very slender and very densely arranged; 

 petioles 1 to 2 mm long. Fruits globose, smooth, 1.5 cm in 

 diameter, their peduncles usually solitary, 1 to 2 cm long. 



Mindanao, Surigao Province, Bur. Sci. 34482 Ramos & Pas- 

 casio, April 25, 1919, on the banks of Hegapit River at the iron 

 deposit on the northeast coast, altitude about 350 meters. 



A species manifestly allied to Calophyllum pentapetalum 

 (Blanco) Merr. (C. amplexicaule Choisy), but its leaves are 

 not cordate at the base and are distinctly petioled while the 

 fruits are larger and perfectly globose.

 KAYEA LANCEOLATA sp. nov. 



Arbor parva, glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus ; foliis coria- 

 ceis, lanceolatis, usque ad 23 cm longis, basi acutis vel obtusis, 

 sursum sensim angustatis, tenuiter acute acuminatis, nitidis, 

 nervis primariis utrinque 15 ad 20, tenuibus, quam secondares 

 vix magis distinctioribus ; floribus terminalibus, sessilibus, dense 

 fasciculatis, in siccitate nigris, sepalis obovatis, circiter 7 mm 

 longis. 



A small glabrous tree, the branches and branchlets yellowish, 

 terete, smooth. Leaves lanceolate, coriaceous, rather pale and 

 shining when dry, 18 to 23 cm long, 3 to 4 cm wide, base acute 

 to obtuse, gradually narrowed upward from the lower one-fourth 

 or one-third to the slenderly acuminate apex, the acumen acute 

 or acuminate, subcaudate ; primary lateral nerves 15 to 20 on each 

 side of the midrib, scarcely more prominent than are the second- 

 ary nerves, both surfaces very shallowly foveolate by the rather 

 close reticulations; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long. Flowers white 

 when fresh, black when dry, sessile, densely crowded in terminal
