sparingly ciliate-villous, the lower surface with more numerous 
and similar hairs on the midrib, nerves, and primary reticula- 
tions; lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, curved, 
anastomosing, prominent on the lower surface as are the primary 
reticulations; petioles 7 to 18 mm long, very densely ciliate- 
villous ; stipules narrowly lanceolate, densely villous, about 2 cm 
long. Perfect flowers solitary, their pedicels 2 mm long or less, 
the subtending bracts narrowly lanceolate, densely villous, 2 to 3 
mm long. Calyx densely villous, obscurely 4-toothed, about 4 
to 5 mm long. Corolla-tube glabrous, 2 mm long, the lobes 6, 
narrowly oblong, villous externally, about 3 mm long, the throat 
densely bearded. Staminate flowers in axillary fascicles, densely 
villous, their pedicels 2 to 3 mm long, calyx about 5 mm in 
diameter, shallowly cup-shaped, villous, 4-toothed. Corolla-tube 
2 mm long, the lobes oblong-lanceolate, similar to those of the 
perfect flowers. Stamens 6. 
Luzon, Tayabas Province, Mount Binuang, Bur. Sci 28482, 
28716 (type) Ramos & Edaho, May, 1917, on forested slopes 
apparently at low altitudes; the same species is represented by 
Bur. Sci. 29917 Ramos & Edaho, from Mount Tulaog which is 
not far from Mount Binuang. 
All three specimens cited above were tentatively identified as 
Urophyllum lucbanense Elm. to which the present species is 
manifestly allied but from which it is easily distinguished by 
its larger leaves, its much denser indumentum, longer petioles, 
and very densely villous flowers.

A shrub, the growing parts of the branchlets and the flowers 
more or less pubescent. Branches terete, glabrous. Leaves 
oblong to oblong-elliptic, firmly chartaceous, 10 to 16 cm long, 
3.5 to 6 cm wide, grayish when dry, the younger ones slightly 
appressed-pubescent on the midrib and nerves beneath, soon 
becoming glabrous, subequally narrowed to the acute base and 
rather prominently acuminate apex, the acumen blunt; lateral 
nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the
