spreading, about 5 cm. long, the secondary branchlets 1.5 cm. long or less. 

 Flowers subglobose, minute, about 1.5 mm. long, their pedicels about 1 mm. 

 long. Calyx densely ferruginous stellate pubescent, deeply 5-toothed, the 

 teeth acute. Petals 5, obovate, obtuse, 1.3 mm. long, about 1 mm. wide or 

 less, glabrous. Stamina! tube 0.7 mm. long, glabrous, the margin entire. 

 Stamens 5, inserted on the edge of the tube but scarcely exserted, the anthers 

 less than 0.3 mm. in diameter. Fruit bright red, globose or somewhat 

 pear shaped, 2 cm. in diameter, sparingly stellate pubescent, becoming

Type specimen Xo. 477 (H. N. Whitford), Lamao River, Province of 

 Bataan, Luzon, July, 1904 (flower) ; also, from the same locality, No. 3724 

 (Merrill), January 1, 1004 (fruit); and No. 1195 (Forestry Bureau), 

 collected by Borden, June, 1904 (fruit and immature flowers) ; Nos. 104, 

 215 (Whitford), April, May, 1904 (fruit). 



This species is not common in the forests, growing in the more open 

 portions of the forest at from 400 to 600 m. above the sea, the fruit 

 being edible, the fleshy integument surrounding the seed having the ap- 

 pearance and taste of similar portions of the fruit of Euphoria cinerea 

 Radlk.

 reddish brown. Leaves alternate, the petiole 7 cm. long, the rhachis, includ- 

 ing the petiole, 20 to 25 cm. long; leaflets opposite, oblong, 7 to 13 cm. long, 

 3 to 4.5 cm. wide, subcoriaceous, opaque, the base acute, strongly inequi- 

 lateral, the apex shortly and abruptly blunt acuminate, shining above, dull 

 beneath, browniish when dry ; nerves 9 to 12 pairs, prominent beneath, 

 obscure above, the reticulations nearly obsolete; petiolules 2 to 3 mm. long. 

 Panicles pyramidal, the axis glabrous, reddish brown, the lower branches 10 

 to 11 cm. long, the upper gradually shorter. Flowers yellow, globose, about
