1919, in dry forests at low altitudes. 
This species is probably more closely allied to Oxymitra pau- 
cinervia Merr. than to any other species, but differs in its fewer- 
nerved leaves which are not at all glaucous beneath. 
GONIOTHALAMUS Hooker f. and Thomson 
GONIOTHALAMUS PANAYENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ramulis junioribus et floribus plus minusve pu- 
bescens; foliis chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, oblongis, 15 ad 30 cm 
longis, basi acutis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, nervis utrinque 
circiter 12 , perspicuis; floribus solitariis vel fasciculatis e trun- 
cis vel ramis majoribus, breviter pedicellatis, circiter 2.5 cm 
longis; petalis exterioribus lanceolatis, crasse coriaceis sursum 
angustatis, utrinque plus minusve pubescens; petalis interiori- 
bus circiter 1.3 cm longis, conniventibus. 
A tree, about 5 m high, the very young branchlets sparingly 
pubescent, the flowers usually densely so, otherwise glabrous. 
Leaves chartaceous or subcoriaceous, oblong, shining, 15 to 30 
cm long, 4 to 10 cm wide, the base acute, apex slenderly acu- 
minate; lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, 
prominent, the reticulations rather lax, distinct; petioles 1 to 
2 cm long. Flowers yellowish, solitary or fascicled on the trunk 
and larger branches, rarely axillary on the younger branches, 
their pedicels densely pubescent, about 4 mm long, usually sub- 
tended by a pair of small bracts. Calyx about 1.3 cm in diam- 
eter, the lobes ovate, acute or somewhat acuminate, more or 
less pubescent. Outer 3 petals lanceolate, apparently fleshy, 
thickly coriaceous when dry, about 2.5 cm long and 8 mm wide, 
narrowed upward to the acute or slightly acuminate apex, 
slightly constricted toward the base, both surfaces more or less 
pubescent with short, appressed, shining, brownish hairs. In- 
ner petals about 1.3 cm long, appressed-pubescent, connivent.

This species is distinctly allied to Goniothalamus amuyon 
(Blanco) Merr., from which it is readily distinguished by its 
larger, slenderly acuminate leaves, and smaller flowers.
