2 mm. long, about equaling the lul)e. Fertile stamens 9, the filaments 
short, somewhat puljescent, the anlhers 3-locellate, those of the first and 
second series introrse, those of the third series extrorse, the fourth series 
of large stipitate, cordate, acuminate, staminodes. Ovary narrowly

DEHAASIA Blnine. 
Dehaasia triandra Merrill sp. nov. 
A tree 10 to 15 ni. high, glabrous, only the three inner stamens fertile, 
the outer series reduced to staminodes. Branches 'light gray, glaltrous. 
Leaves ovate-lanceolate to oblong-ovate, glabrous, subcoriaceous, some- 
what shining on both surfaces, 10 to 20 cm. long, 4 to 7 cm. wide, 
narrowed below to the acute base and above to the sharply acuminate 
apex; nerves 7 to 9 on each side of the midrib, curved ascending, rather 
distinct beneath, the reticulations rather obscure, lax; petioles 1.5 to 
2 cm. long, nearly black when dry. Panicles several from the young- 
portions of each branchlet, glahrous, black when dry, 4 to 10 cm. long, 
few flowered, the peduncles 5 cm. long or less, the branches usually 
spreading, the flowers usually in threes at the tips of the branchlets. 
Flowers small, hermaphrodite. Calyx segments 6, deciduous, broadly 
ovate, acute, the inner three about 1.5 mm. long, the outer three some- 
what smaller, slightly ciliate on the margins. Fertile stamens 3 only, 
in the inner row, the filaments pubescent, glandular at the base, the 
anthers 2-celled, extrorse, the stamens of the router series reduced to 
flattened pubescent staminodes. Ovary narrowly ovoid, glabrous, about 
1 mm. long, narrowed above into the 1 mm. long style. Fruit elliptical 
to elliptical oblong, glabrous, 3 to 3.5 cm. long, 1.5 to 2 cm. thick, the 
pedicel when fresh 5 cm. long or less, at least as thick as the mature 
fruit, fleshy, bright red, when dry 2 to 5 cm. long, less than 1 cm. thick, 
black.

1900. Masbate (3068 Merrill) August, 1903. Luzon, Province of Rizal (2000

An anomalous species, differing from Dehaasia as described in its 3, not 9, 
fertile stamens, but so evident are the fruit characters that 1 have not hesitated 
to refer it to the above genus. In connection with this species 1 have carefully 
studied the description of Salgada laimfolia Blanco, referred by F.-Villar to 
Eusideroxglon horneense. The above specimens do not at all agree witli Blanco’s 
description, and to me it appears \orj donbiful if Halfjada can bo referred to 
Eusideroxylon. with safety.
