brunneis; petiolo 3.5 ad 5 cm longo; inflorescentiis axiliar- 
ibus, petiolo subaequantibus, paucifioris, ramis 'l vel 2, parce 
pubescentibus. 
A subglabrous shrub 1 m high or more, the branches slender, 
terete, glabrous, lenticellate, grayish-brown. Leaves 1-foliolate, 
oblong-elliptic, 25 to 30 cm long, 9 to 12 cm wide, firmly charta- 
ceous, shining on both surfaces when dry, quite glabrous or the 
lower surface obscurely and sparsely puberulent on the midrib 
and nerves, the upper surface brownish-olivaceous, the lower 
paler, and nerves, midrib, and reticulations brownish, in rather 
strong contrast to the surface, suhequally narrowed to the acute 
base and to the prominently acuminate apex, the acumen dis- 
tantly denticulate, the margins coarsely and irregularly lobed- 
toothed, sinuses broad, rounded, the teeth acute, up to 1 cm in 
length, one corresponding to each lateral nerve; lateral nerves 
about 11 on each side of the midrib, very prominent on the lower 
surface as are the primary and secondary reticulations ; petioles 
sparingly puberulent, 3.5 to 5 cm long. Inflorescences axillary, 
somewhat pubescent, about as long as the petioles, with one or 
two branches. Flowers white, their pedicels 1 to 1.5 mm long. 
Sepals glabrous or their margins obscurely pubescent, the two 
outer ones oblong to elliptic, rounded, about 2 mm long and 1 mm 
wide, the two inner ones orbicular to subreniform, 1.8 to 2 mm 
long, 2 mm wide. Petals 4, about 1.8 mm long, the limb densely 
villous inside, subtruncate, triangular-narrowed below, the claw 
glabrous or nearly so. Stamens 8, their filaments somewhat 
villous, 1.8 to 2 mm long. Glands prominent, glabrous.

A most characteristic species readily distinguished by its large, coarsely 
toothed, prominently reticulate, simple leaves and its short, slightly branched 
inflorescences which are about as long as the petioles. It manifestly belongs 
in the group of unifoliolate Allophylus to which belong the Philippine 
species A. unifoliatus Radik., A. simplicifolius Radik., and A. peduncularis 
Radik., but it is distinct from these and from all other described forms.
