A glabrous tree about 11m high, or the very youngest branch- 
lets and the midrib beneath sparingly ferruginous-pubescent. 
Branches terete, dark-brown, lenticellate. Leaves oblong-lanceo- 
late, 11 to 14 cm long, 3 to 4 cm wide, coriaceous, brown and 
slightly shining when dry and of nearly the same color on both 
surfaces, subequally narrowed to the rather prominently acumi- 
nate apex, the acumen blunt, and to the cuneate base, the margins 
recurved; lateral nerves about 18 on each side of the midrib, 
very slender, obscure, not anastomosing, the secondary ones and 
reticulations obsolete, the primary nerves very slightly impressed 
in the median portion on the upper surface, the midrib prominent 
beneath; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long. Staminate panicles axillary, 
about 6 cm long, glabrous, the flowers subracemosely arranged 
on the short ultimate branchlets. Staminate flowers yellow 
when fresh, brown when dry, obovoid, 2 mm long, 2-valved, 
their pedicels 1 to 1.5 mm long. Staminal column obovoid, 1.5 
mm long, depressed at the apex.

gistrado, July 26, 1916, on low hills, altitude about 20 meters, locally known 
as duguan. 
This rather strongly marked species is well characterized by its relatively 
narrow, very obscurely nerved leaves. The staminate inflorescences strongly 
resemble those of Gymnacranthera paniculata Warb., but the species is a 
true Horsfieldia.

A shrub, all parts more or less white stellate-lepidote. 
Branches and branchlets terete, reddish-brown, smooth, the latter 
minutely stellate-lepidote. Leaves lanceolate to oblong-lanceo- 
late, subcoriaceous, brittle, pale-brownish when dry, the lower 
surface grayish-white or at least paler than the upper surface, 
8 to 12 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, gradually narrowed upward to 
the slenderly acuminate apex, the base rounded, margins distantly 
denticulate, both surfaces with minute, white stellate-lepidote 
scales, these widely scattered on the upper surface, rather densely
