sharply acuminate, the base acute or rounded, the upper surface oliva- 
ceous, glabrous, shining! the lower surface nearly white, slightly pubescent, 
the midrib nerves and primary reticulations brown ; nerves 5 on each side 
of the midrib, distinct beneath, anastomosing, the reticulations lax; 
petioles about 5 mm long, slightly pubescent. Panicles axillary, in fruit 
10 cm long or less, slightly pubescent. Flowers unknown. Fruits ellip- 
soid about 1.5 cm in diameter, 2.5 cm long, dark-colored, glabrous, 
shining, apiculate at both ends, obscurely longitudinally striate.

- Characterized by its relatively large fruits which are apiculate at both ends, 
and by its leaves which are nearly white beneath. 
Cryptocarya everettii sp. nov. 
Arbor, 10 ad 18 m alta; foliis alternis, oblongo-ellipticis, ellipticis, 
vel oblongo-lanceolatis, subcoriaceis, 10 ad 20 cm longis, acuminatis, 
supra nitidis, glabris, brunneis, subtus glaucescentibus, valde pulcher- 
rime reticulato-venosis ; paniculis pubescentibus, 8 ad 10 cm longis, 
axillaribus terminalibusque ; floribus albis, circiter 4 mm longis, pedicel- 
latis vel subsessilibus; fructibus oblongis, glabris, circiter 3 cm longis. 
A tree 10 to 18 m high, nearly glabrous throughout except the in- 
florescence. Branches slender, liglit-gray, glabrous, the young branchlets 
somewhat pubescent. Leaves alternate, oblong-elliptic, elliptic or oblong- 
lanceolate, 10 to 20 cm long, 4 to 7 cm, rarely 9 cm wide, subcoriaceous, 
the upper surface glabrous, or sometimes slightly pubescent along the 
midrib, shining, brown, N the lower surface glaucous, the nerves and 
reticulations prominent, brown, slightly pubescent, the apex abruptly 
and sharply acuminate, the base acute; nerves about 10 on each side of 
the midrib, beneath verjr prominent, anastomosing, the reticulations 
rather lax, very distinct, the brown midrib, nerves and reticulations in 
strong contrast to the glaucous under surface of the leaf; petioles 5 to 
10 mm long, somewhat pubescent. Panicles axillary and terminal, 8 to 
10 cm long, pubescent, the flowers white, pedicellate or subsessile, about 
4 mm long, the bracteoles deciduous, about 2.5 mm long. Calyx-tube 
densely pubescent, 2 mm long, the perianth segments subequal, 2.5 mm 
long, elliptic-ovate, obtuse, pubescent. Fertile stamens 9, the filaments 
somewhat pubescent, the anthers of the outer two series introrse, those 
of the inner series extrorse; staminodes ovate, short-stipitate, somewhat 
pubescent, acute. Ovary narrowly oblong, glabrous; style 1.5 mm long. 
Fruit black when dry, glabrous, smooth, oblong or narrowly oblong, 
about 3 cm long, 1 cm thick, narrowed upwards, not striate.

A species common in the dipterocarp forests in northern Negros, well charac- 
terized by its leaves being glaucous beneath, and strongly reticulate, the midrib, 
nerves, and reticulations on the lower surface of the leaf being brown, in sharp 
contrast to the glacous surface. V., Balit, Putian.
