The alliance of this species is with Garcinia eugeniaefolia Wall, and 
G. gitingensis Elm., from which it is distinguished by its decidedly smaller 
leaves which have revolute margins. Perhaps it is but a reduced form of 
Garnicia eugeniafolia, due to its habitat.

GYNOTROCHES Blume 
GYNOTROCHES LANCEOLATA sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra, foliis subcoriaceis, lanceolatis, usque ad 7 cm 
longis et 2 cm latis, tenuiter acuminatis, in siccitate nitidis, 
brunneis, nervis utrinque circiter 6; floribus numerosis, fasci- 
culatis, pedicellatis, 4-meris, sepalis circiter 2 mm longis. 
An entirely glabrous tree, the branches terete, the young 
branchlets dark-brown in color, smooth, shining. Leaves lan- 
ceolate, subcoriaceous, 4.5 to 7 cm long, 1 to 2 cm wide, when 
dry brown and shining, paler beneath, narrowed above to the 
rather slenderly acuminate apex and below to the acute base; 
lateral nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, distinct on 
the lower surface, and like the midrib and distinct reticulations 
darker in color than the leaf surface; petioles 3 to 4 mm long. 
Flowers 4-merous, very numerous, in axillary fascicles, their 
pedicels 4 to 5 mm long, jointed in the middle. Sepals oblong- 
ovate to ovate, obtuse to acute, about 2 mm long. Petals obovate, 
fimbriate, nearly as long as the sepals. Style-arms 7 or 8, 
radiate, short. Fruit red, fleshy, about 4 mm long, much 
wrinkled when dry. 
Luzon, Province of Sorsogon, Mount Pocdal, Bur. Sci. 23407 Ramos, 
August 6, 1915, in forests. 
A species differing from Gynotroches axillaris Blume in its much 
smaller, quite differently shaped leaves, and from G. parvifolia Merr., in 
its entirely differently shaped, much narrower, prominently and rather 
slenderly acuminate leaves.
