densely hirsute.

forests, altitude about 30 meters. 
The alliance of this species is with Gonystylus philippinensis Elm., of 
Sibuyan Island, from which it differs in its differently shaped leaves which 
are eglandular beneath. Its extra-Philippine alliance is with Gonystylus 
bancanus Baill., which is represented by numerous Philippine collections. 
To this genus pertains the species described by Elmer as Thea reticulata 
Elm. Lead. Philip. Bot. 8 (1915) 2838 {Elmer 13i78, Agusan Subprovince, 
Mindanao), which should be called GONYSTYLUS RETICULATUS (Elm.) ; 
it is apparently closely allied to the Bornean Gonystylus affinis Radik.

Arbor glabra, circiter 15 m alta, ramis teretibus, ramulis 
teretibus vel obscure angulatis; foliis coriaceis, olivaceis, ni- 
tidis, oblongo-ellipticis, usque ad 15 cm longis, apice obtusis, 
acutis, vel obscurissime acuminatis, basi decurrento-acuminatis, 
nervis primariis utrinque circiter 16, tenuibus; inflorescentiis 
S terminalibus, fasiculatis, ramulis elongatis, 1 ad 2 cm longis, 
bracteolis numerosis imbricatis quadrifariis instructis; floribus 
solitariis, terminalibus, 5-meris, sepalis petalisque similibus, 
sepalis circiter 5 mm longis ; phalangibus 5, utrinque polyandris ; 
corpus centrale fungiforme, pedicellatum. 
A glabrous tree, about 5 mm high, the branches terete, olivac- 
eous, somewhat wrinkled when dry, the branchlets more or less 
angular. Leaves coriaceous, olivaceous, shining, of the same 
color on both surfaces, oblong-elliptic, base somewhat decurrent- 
acuminate, apex obtuse, acute, or slightly acuminate, margins 
somewhat cartilaginous-thickened, usually more or less revolute ; 
primary lateral nerves about 16 on each side of the midrib, some- 
what spreading, rather slender, anastomosing, the secondary 
ones and primary reticulations nearly as prominent; petioles 
stout, 6 to 10 mm long. Inflorescence terminal, each consisting of 
from 5 to 8, stout, 1 to 2 cm long, 1-flowered, fascicled rachises, 
the rachises supplied with very numerous, crowded, imbricate, 
triangular-acute bracteoles about 2 mm long and 3 mm wide, 
arranged in four series, making the rachis more or less 4-angled. 
Male flowers 5-merous, solitary, sessile, terminal, pinkish-white. 
Sepals 5, coriaceous, elliptic, concave, about 5 mm long. Petals 
similar to the sepals but, in bud, somewhat smaller. Phalanges 
5, free nearly to the base, densely covered on all surfaces with
