leviter ferrugineo-pubescentibus ; inflorescentiis terminalibus, 
paniculatis, circiter 15 cm longis, bracteolis oblongo-obovatis ad 
lanceolatis, 1.5 ad 2 cm longis, deciduis ; sepalis 4 ; petalis 6. 
A tall tree with stout branches, the ultimate branchlets stout, 
ferruginous-pubescent, 4 to 5 mm in diameter, reddish-brown. 
Leaves thickly coriaceous, mostly oblong, about 10 cm long, 4 to 
5 cm wide, base acute, the apex obscurely acuminate, obtuse or 
sometimes rounded, pale when dry, the upper surface shining, the 
lower more brownish-yellow and, at least when young, sparingly 
ferruginous-pubescent; nerves spreading, rather distinct, about 
16 to a centimeter; petioles dark brown, pubescent, about 1.5 cm 
long. Inflorescence a terminal panicle, all parts very densely 
ferruginous-pubescent, in nearly mature bud up to 15 cm long, 
many-flowered, bipinnately paniculate, each flower subtended by 
a very thick, densely pubescent, deciduous, oblong-oblanceolate 
to oblong-obovate bracteole 1.5 to 2 cm in length, the pedicels 
about 1 cm long. Sepals 4, densely pubescent, concave, the two 
outer ones about 10 mm long and 8 mm wide, the two inner 
ones orbicular, about 1 cm in diameter. Petals 6, in bud subor- 
bicular, very slightly pubescent. Stamens very numerous. 
Ovary glabrous.

For the genus a rather characteristic species. It is apparently allied 
to Calophyllum blancoanum PI. & Tr., from which it differs in its very 
densely ferruginous-pubescent inflorescence, younger branches, and to a 
less degree the lower surfaces of its leaves, in its prominent bracteoles 
which are up to 2 cm in length, and in its thickly coriaceous, more coarsely 
nerved, rather differently shaped leaves.

Palawan, near Taytay, Merrill 9387, May, 1913, in bamboo thickets 
at about sea level. Probably referable here is a single specimen from the 
Province of Camarines, Luzon, For. Bur. 21750 Fischer, but this specimen 
has leaves 65 cm long and 25 cm wide, the base broadly rounded and dis- 
tinctly cordate. 
The species is new to the Philippines. Perak, Singapore (Ridley 5966!),
