nearly as prominent as the primary ones, which unite at the

Luzon, Province of Bulacan, Angat, Bur. Sci. 21968 Ramos, September 
22, 1913, in forests. 
A striking species on account of its thickened stems, its long leaves, 
and the almost entire absence of indumentum of any kind. The strictly 
ellipsoid, very dark-brown, shining, nearly smooth fruits are exceedingly 
characteristic, as is also the longitudinally 6-ridged endocarp, the fruit 
not being at all triangular.
