3 mm in length. Petals irregularly retuse. Stamens 20. Ovary 
globose, glabrous; styles 3, free, about 4 mm long. 
Catanduanes, Bur. Sci. 30323 Ramos, December 10, 1917, in forests back 
of Calolbong. 
This species apparently belongs in the group with Saurauia oligantha 
Merr. and S. sparsiflora Elm., differing from both in numerous characters, 
notably in its much larger flowers and densely setose sepals. 
THEACEAE 
TERNSTROEM I A Mutis 
TERNSTROEM I A MEGACARPA sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra, circiter 12 m alta; foliis crasse coriaceis, in 
siccitate brunneis, oblongo-ellipticis ad obovato-oblongis, usque 
ad 30 cm longis et 11 cm latis, apice breviter obtuseque acumin- 
atis, basi cuneatis, nervis utrinque circiter 15, sat distinctis; 
floribus axillaribus, longe pedicellatis, pedicellis 4 ad 10 cm 
longis; fructibus ovoideis, circiter 6 cm longis; seminibus oblon- 
gis, utrinque obtusis, circiter 3 cm longis. 
A glabrous tree about 12 m high. Branches terete, grayish- 
brown, wrinkled when dry. Leaves thickly coriaceous, brown 
when dry, slightly shining, oblong-elliptic to obovate-oblong, 16 
to 30 cm long, 7 to 11 cm wide, apex broadly and shortly blunt- 
acuminate, base narrowed, cuneate, the lower surface somewhat 
verruculose, not black-puncticulate or glandular; lateral nerves 
about 15 on each side of the midrib, rather distinct; petioles 
stout, about 2 cm long. Flowers axillary, dioecious, solitary, 
long-pedicelled, the pedicels rather stout, 4 to 10 cm long. Calyx 
lobes orbicular, thickly coriaceous, about 1 cm in diameter. 
Stamens indefinite, crowded, the anthers about 1.5 cm long. 
Fruit ovoid or ellipsoid-ovoid, about 6 cm long and 4 cm in 
diameter, brown when dry, the pericarp brittle-coriaceous, glab- 
rous. Seeds oblong, rounded at both ends, crimson when fresh, 
about 3 cm long. 
Mindanao, Lanao District, Camp Keithley, Mrs. Clemens s. n. (type) 
and 959, collected in March, June, July, and September, 1907. 
This species is distinguished from Temstroemia philippinensis Merr. by 
its larger, more prominently nerved leaves which are not black-glandular 
or puncticulate on the lower surface, and its long-peduncled flowers and 
fruits. Its alliance with the extra-Philippine species appears to be with 
Temstroemia penangiana Choisy, to which it is not closely allied, and T. 
robinsonii Merr., of Amboina.
