multifloris, floribus 5-meris; fructibus parcissime hirsutis vel 
vetustioribus glabris, apiculo centrico. 
A tree 10 to 20 m high, the growing tips of the branchlets 
rather densely appressed ferruginous-hirsute. Branches terete, 
brown, glabrous. Leaves oblong, coriaceous, somewhat shining, 
20 to 35 cm long, 8 to 12 cm wide, pale or brownish-olivaceous 
when dry, of about the same color on both surfaces, the apex 
shortly, abruptly, and obtusely acuminate, base narrowed in the 
lower one-fourth, cuneate or somewhat decurrent-acuminate; 
primary nerves 17 to 22 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 
the secondary nerves and reticulations netted, not parallel, dis- 
tinct; petioles 1 to 2 cm long. Panicles numerous, in the upper 
axils, usually about 20 cm long, many-flowered, all parts with 
few, scattered, usually appressed, pale or ferruginous, hirsute 
hairs, in fruit sometimes becoming nearly or quite glabrous. 
Flowers 5-merous, white, the pedicels 1 mm long or less. Calyx- 
lobes oblong, obtuse, about 1 mm long. Petals oblong, obtuse, 
about 2.6 mm long, 1 mm wide, reflexed. Disk glabrous. Fila- 
ments about 1.3 mm long, much narrowed at the apex; anthers 
about 1 mm long, prominently sagittate. Carpels rather densely 
pubescent. Mature fruits red, orbicular to broadly obovoid, 
somewhat compressed, about 1 cm long, the apiculus central, 
when immature with few, scattered, pale or ferruginous hairs, 
in age glabrous or with very few hairs. 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines and is manifestly 
allied to the common Buchanania atborescens Blume, differing notably in 
its much larger, more numerously nerved leaves. The type is For. Bur. 
20274- Miranda, from the Province of Misamis, Mindanao, March, 1913, 
and I refer here also the following specimens:

manguian; and in Basilan as lingdbunu.
