Endemic. 



Blanco's description is imperfect, and in some respects erroneous, probably 

 due to a mixture of material, as suggested by F.-Villar. 



2. Crudia subsimplicifolia sp. nov. 



Arbor glabra, usque ad 10 m alta; foliis alternis, uni- vel bifoliolatis, 

 foliolis oblongis vel elliptico-oblongis^ subcoriaceis, usque ad 13 cm longis, 

 basi acutis, apice admodum abrupte acute acuminatis ; racemis axillaribus, 

 solitariis vel binis, quam folia brevioribus. 



A glabrous tree about 10 m high. Branches terete, light-grayish- 

 brown. Leaves alternate, pinnate, sometimes with one leaflet, sometimes 

 with two, but the leaflets when two never opposite. Petiole and rachis 

 rather stout, about 1 cm long. Leaflets oblong or elliptic-oblong, sub- 

 coriaceous, slightly shining when dry and paler beneath than on the 

 upper surface, the base acute, the apex rather abruptly and sharply 

 acuminate, the acumen 1 to 1.5 cm long; nerves 7 or 8 on each side of 

 the midrib, anastomosing, the reticulations distinct; petiolules stout, 

 about 3 mm long. Racemes axillary, solitary or in pairs, 6 cm long or 

 less (young), glabrous, or with very few short hairs; pedicels short, 

 about 1 mm long, each subtended by a small, slightly ciliate-hairy 

 bracteole. Sepals 4, in bud 2 to 2.5 mm long. Stamens 10. Ovaiy 

 densely hairy. 



Luzon, Province of Cagayan, San Vicente, For. Bur. ^287 Klemme, June, 

 1906, a specimen with immature flowers, altitude about 10 m. Locally knowii 

 to the Negritos as Tainbali. 



A species manifestly closely allied to Crudia bantamensis (Hassk.) [Touchiroa 

 bantamen^is Hassk.; Pryona ba?itamensis Miq.), diff"ering in its sharply acuminate, 

 smaller leaflets, and glabrous or nearly glabrous racemes which are shorter than 

 the leaves. 



The oldest names for the genus are Apalatoa Aubl. and Touchiroa Aubl., but 

 Crudia is here retained, following the list of nomina conservanda of the Vienna 

 Botanical Congress. Prain notes that Apalatoa was based on a mixture of flowers 

 of this genus and fruits of Pterocarpus.
