Very imperfect specimen. Through the courtesy of Mr. E. D. Meeeill, 

 Bureaii of science, Manila, I was able to find that it belongs to Litsea and is 

 closely allied to the Philippine L. Garcice ViD. (in Eev. PI. Vase. Filip. 

 p. 228). I have compared our specimens with the PhiKppine species, and 

 found that ours are different from the Philippine, so far as I can judge 

 through the description of the latter, in having cuneately based leaves and 

 smaller fruits.
