xi, c, 6 Merrill: Reliquiae Robinsonianac 279 
subliberis; tub.o glabro, cylindraceo; ovario 4-loculare, dense 
pubescente. 
A tree about 15 m high, nearly glabrous except the cauline 
inflorescence which is uniformly and densely brownish-pubescent 
with short hairs. Branches glabrous, terete, the ultimate ones 
nearly 1 cm in diameter, grayish or brownish. Leaves alternate, 
about 70 cm long, the rachis and petiole minutely puberulent, 
becoming quite glabrous. Leaflets about 25, the lower ones al- 
ternate, the upper subopposite, oblong, chartaceous, olivaceous, 
smooth, shining, glabrous or the younger ones very obscurely 
puberulent beneath, 10 to 17 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, acuminate, 
base inequilaterally rounded, sessile or subsessile; lateral nerves 
18 to 20 on each side of the midrib, spreading, prominent. 
Racemes fascicled, several springing from the same tubercle on 
the larger branches and trunk, 8 to 13 cm long, many flowered. 
Flowers white, 4-merous, their pedicels pubescent, about 5 mm 
long. Calyx densely pubescent, broadly ovoid-cup-shaped, 6 to 
7 mm long, loose, the lobes ovate, 3 to 3.5 mm long, rounded. 
Petals 4, free or nearly so, oblong, rounded, 10 to 12 mm long, 
4 mm wide, below glabrous, the upper part on the back very 
densely and uniformly pubescent with short brownish hairs. 
Staminal-tube cylindric, glabrous, free, 10 to 11 mm long, cleft 
into 8, small, oblong, 2 mm long lobes, the lobes rounded-truncate 
and obscurely retuse, the 1 mm long anthers alternate with the 
lobes. Disk cylindric, glabrous, truncate, 3 mm long, free. 
Ovary free, densely pubescent, 4-celled, the lower part of the 
style densely hirsute, the upper part glabrous. 
Amboina, Lateri, Rel. Robins. 199 J, September 5, 1913, in forests, altitude 
about 175 meters, locally known as daun lansa utan, and tautvan. 
A strongly marked species, well characterized by its long leaves, numerous 
subsessile leaflets, and its cauline, fascicled, simple, many-flowered racemes. 
It belongs in the group with Dysoxylum ramiflorum Miq., D. cauLostachyum 
Miq., and allied forms, but is apparently distinct from all described species

Amboina, Batoe merah, PI. Rumph. Amb. 1989, August 24, 1913, in 
ravines, altitude about 150 meters. 
The specimen is in fruit, and appears to be the form of this widely 
distributed species indicated by Koorders & Valeton as var. pubescens 
K. & V. I cannot distinguish the common Philippine form, Dysoxylum 
decandrum (Blanco) Merr., from D. amooroides Miq. and have accordingly 
reduced the latter.
