2. Calophyllum whitfordii Merrill, sp. nov. 
A tree about 20 m. high. Branches light gray, aften yellowish, glabrous, 
shining, the ultimate branchlets often slightly angular, slender. Leaves opposite, 
ovate-oblong to elliptical oblong, glabrous, coriaceous, the base acute, the apex 
somewhat prominently acuminate, the acumen blunt, 6 to 8 cm. long, 2 to 4 cm. 
wide; petioles about 1 cm. long, rugose when dry, rather slender, channeled 
above. Panicles terminal, and in the upper axils, 5 cm. long or less, the pedmr- 
cles about 2 cm. long, slightly ferruginous pubescent, the branches ascending, 
few flowered, the pedicels 6 to 10 mm. long, slender, rather densely ferruginous 
puherulous. Flowers white, fragrant, 1.5 cm. in diameter. Outer two sepals 
with few short hairs, especially near the margins, becoming glabrous or nearly 
so, 6 mm. long, 4 mm. wide, acute or obtuse, the inner two sepals petaloid, 9 mm. 
long, 6 mm. wide, rounded. Petals 4, elliptical or slightly obovate, 8 mm. long, 
about 5.5 mm. wide. Stamens very numerous, the filaments free, 4.5 to 5 nun. 
long; anthers about 1 mm. long. Ovary subglobose, glabrous; style slender, 5 mm. 
long. Fruit ovoid, glabrous, about 13 mm. long, 10 mm. in diameter, minutely 
apiculate, dark colored when dry. 
(2613 Meyer) February; 1905 (type) ; (336 Whitford) May, 1904; (785 
Borden) May, 1904. Forested slopes at about 700 m., recognized by its rather 
small, acuminate leaves. T., Dataog. Sp.-Fil., Palomaria del monte. 
A very closely related if not identical form, is represented by the following 
specimens: (257, 1190 Whitford) May, 1904, March, 1905; (6907 Elmer) No- 
vember, 1904; (1812 Borden) September, 1904; (142 Merrill) Decades Phil. 
Forest FI. coll. Ahern’s collector, July, 1904. 
The above specimens, distributed as G. pseudotacamahaca PI. et Tr., differ from 
Calophyllum whitfordii in their dark-colored branches and branchlets, smaller.
