shining, mostly oblong, the lower surface a little paler than the 
upper one, 6 to 11 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, the base rounded, the 
apex blunt-acuminate, the acumen distinctly retuse ; lateral nerves 
5 to 7 on each side of the midrib, slender, not prominent; peti- 
olules 4 to 5 mm long, the rachis bearing the terminal leaflet 
produced. Inflorescence and flowers not seen. Pods narrowly 
oblong, thin, pale brown or grayish, smooth and shining, about 
11 cm long, 2.5 to 3 cm wide, acute or acuminate, base decurrent 
into a short stipe, the margins narrowly keeled, apparently 
tardily dehiscent, containing three or four seeds.

There is some doubt as to the correctness of referring the species to 
Ormosia in the absence of flowers, but it is probably correct, and probably 
referable to the section Amacrotropis. Its Moro name, bahay, is also sig- 
nificant, for in other parts of the Archipelago this is the common name of 
Ormosia calavensis Azaola. The seeds, in the specimens available, were 
destroyed by insects before the time of collection.
