HORSFI ELDI A MEGACARPA sp. nov. 
Arbor alta, glabra (floribus ignotis) ; foliis crasse coriaceis, 
circiter 18 cm longis, oblongis, obscure et obtuse acuminatis, 
basi subacutis ad subrotundatis, supra verruculosis, in siccitate 
nitidis, fragilis, nervis utrinque circiter 18, subtus valde perspic- 
uis; infructescentiis brevibus, crassis, circiter 4 cm longis; 
fructibus globosis, vel globoso-ellipsoideis, circiter 4 cm diame- 
tro, pericarpio crassissimo. 
A tall tree, quite glabrous (inflorescence and flowers not 
seen), or the very young growing parts ferruginous-puberulent. 
Branches stout, brown, terete, lenticellate. Leaves oblong, 
thickly coriaceous, brittle when dry, about 18 cm long, 7 to 8 
cm wide, apparently recurved or falcate, obscurely blunt-acumi- 
nate, base subacute to subrounded, when dry brown on both 
surfaces, the upper surface strongly shining, distinctly ver- 
ruculose with minute scattered projections; lateral nerves about 
18 on each side of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing, the 
reticulations lax, faint, obscure; petioles stout, about 1 cm 
long. Inflorescence and flowers unknown. Infructescence from 
the branches below the leaves, short, stout, simple, about 4 cm 
long, each bearing 3 or 4 fruits. Immature fruits globose to 
ellipsoid-globose, about 4 cm in diameter, the line of dehiscence 
evident, the pericarp brittle, very thick (about 1 cm). 
Luzon, Laguna Province, Dahican River, Bur. Sci. 16527 Ramos, Sep- 
tember 18, 1912, in forests. 
A strongly marked species, characterized by its short infructescence 
and especially by its unusually large, globose fruits, which have a very 
thick (1 cm) brittle pericarp.

A tall tree, apparently entirely glabrous (flowers not seen). 
Branches terete, brown, much wrinkled when dry, the branchlets 
slender. Leaves oblong to narrowly oblong-obovate, 11 to 20 
cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, chartaceous or submembranaceous, 
the apex acuminate, base acute, when dry brown or brown-
