the fruits uniformly and densely ferruginous-villous. Branches 
terete, brownish-gray, glabrous, the branchlets rather densely 
pale brownish- or ferruginous-pubescent, when dry obscurely 
angled. Leaves subcoriaeeous, oblong-obovate to elliptic, 8 to 15 
cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, apex rather abruptly and prominently 
acuminate, the acumen up to 1 cm in length, blunt, the base 
acute, the upper surface olivaceous, glabrous, shining when dry, 
the lower pale, glaucous, sparingly pubescent on the midrib and 
lateral nerves ; lateral nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, 
very prominent on the lower surface as are the reticulations, 
spreading, somewhat curved, uniting directly with the cartila- 
ginous margin; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long, pubescent. Panicles 
terminal, narrow, densely flowered, 3 to 4 cm long, all parts very 
densely ferruginous-villous, Flowers 5-merous. Calyx 3 mm 
in diameter, the lobes short, ovate, obtuse, less than 1 mm long. 
Petals 5, free, oblong, 4 mm long,. 1.6 mm wide, outside densely 
ferruginous-villous, inside glabrous, apex obtuse, base narrowed, 
cuneate. Stamens 5 ; filaments slender, about 3 mm long. Male 
flowers with a dense tuft of ferruginous villous hairs in the 
center. Fruits few, usually 3 or 4 in a panicle, their peduncles 
about 6 mm long, densely ferruginous-villous, the calyx-tube in 
fruit about 6 mm long, ovoid-cylinclric, the teeth broadly ovate, 
rounded, about 1.5 mm long, the fruit oblique, when immature 
about 1.6 cm long, all parts, including the accrecent calyx, 
densely ferruginous-villous, crowned by the three, short, glabrous 
styles. 
Samar, Catubig River, Cagmanaba, Bur. Sci. 24546 Ramos, February 29, 
1913, in forests at low altitude, locally known as matapoc. 
A characteristic species manifestly closely allied to Oncocarpus ferm- 
gineus C. B. Rob., from which it is easily distinguished by its pubescent 
branchlets, its fewer-nerved, somewhat smaller leaves, and its short, densely 
flowered panicles, the young’ fruits obliquely ovoid or obovoid, scarcely 
ridged. Probably referable here is Bur. Sci. 24115 Ramos from Tagabiran, 
Catubig River, the leaves of which are more prominently acuminate than 
in the type, and the branchlets nearly glabrous.
