datis, apice acutis vel breviter acuminatis, utrinque obscure 
foveolatis, subtus plus minusve glandulosis, nervis primariis 
utrinque 16 ad 20, tenuibus, quam secundariis reticulisque vix 
magis distinctioribus ; floribus in ramis fasciculatis, pedunculis 
sub fructu 3 ad 4 cm longis. 
A small tree about 5 m high, quite glabrous. Branches terete, 
pale, the younger ones brownish-yellow or yellow, somewhat 
compressed or angled, wrinkled when dry. Leaves opposite, 
oblong, subcoriaceous, 15 to 25 cm long, 6 to 9 cm wide, base 
rounded to acute, apex acute or shortly acuminate, margins re- 
curved, both surfaces pale when dry, shallowly foveolate, the 
foveolae on the lower surface often glandular; primary lateral 
nerves very slender, obscure, 16 to 20 on each side of the mid- 
rib, scarcely more distinct than are the secondary nerves and 
the reticulations; petioles wrinkled, 1.5 to 2 cm long. Flowers 
fascicled on the branches below the leaves, the subpersistent 
petals oblong, about 5 mm long, the stamens very numerous, about 
6 mm long. Young fruits subglobose, about 1.5 cm in diameter, 
much wrinkled when dry, brownish, apparently when mature 1- 
celled and 1-seeded, when young at least 2-celled.

The first representative of the genus to be found in the Philippines, 
Ochrocarpus pentapetalus F.-Vill., based on Tovomita pentapetala Blanco 
being a Calophyllum and a synonym of C. amplexicaule Choisy. Ochro- 
carpus ramiflorus appears to be most closely allied to O. siamensis T. 
Anders, from which it differs in its acute or acuminate, fewer nerved 
leaves and longer pedicels.
