A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYRTAOE2E. 351 
broadly oblanceolate, or rarely elliptic, 34-66 cm long, 9-21 cm wide, 
the smaller measurements probably representing young leaves, at the 
base broadly but very shallowly cordate, the least injured apices rounded, 
the dried lamina brown on both surfaces but paler on the under surface ; 
primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 16-23, conspicuous, 
usually with a few of the intervening veins nearly as prominent, cross 
veins, distinct, the finer venation distinct on the under surface but not on 
the upper, a distinct submarginal vein present as well as a faint one 
very near the margin, the latter sometimes hidden by the slightly revolute 
margins.

Arbor, ramis 4-alatis : pedicellis longis, teneris, bracteolatis, floribus 
caulinis, paniculatis, tetrameris ; foliis oblongo-elliptieis vel anguste 
ellipticis, apice acuminatis, basi cordatis, breviter petiolatis. 
F lowers borne upon tubercles upon the stem, one to several panicles 
6-8 cm long and 5-7-flowered from each tubercle, the peduncles and 
pedicels glandular, the pedicels 9 mm to 2 cm long, quadrangular, each 
having at its base a linear acute bract 2-4 mm long, and at its apex a 
pair of lanceolate or ' ovate bracteoles less than 1 mm long : calyx- tube 
broadly turbinate, about 1 cm long and 1 cm in diameter, or without the 
greatly narrowed pseudostalk hemispheric ; calyx-lobes 4, ovate, the 
larger about 5 mm long and 7 mm wide, the smaller 3 mm long. and 6 mm 
wide; petals 4, ovate, somewhat acuminate, rounded at the apex, 9 mm 
long, 7 mm wide; staminal disk thickened, stamens 350-400, the fila- 
ments 5-10 mm long, dilated at the base, the anthers 0.7 mm long, 0.6 
mm wide; ovary 2-celled, each cell containing several minute' ovules ; style 
terete, 1.5 cm long. 
A tree 16 m high, its trunk 20 cm in diameter, the ultimate branches 
distinctly 4-angled, and, especially near the apex, winged, more or less 
swollen at the nodes, covered with gray or brownish-gray bark : leaves 
with reel annulate-rugose petioles 4-8 mm long and 1-3 mm in diameter, 
the lamina oblong-elliptic or narrowly elliptic, 15-29 cm long, 4.5-8 
cm wide, more or less coriaceous, shallowly cordate at the base, at the 
apex forming an acumen about 1 cm long, olivaceous on the upper surface, 
brownish-green and glandular-punctate beneath; primary lateral veins 
on each side of the midrib 16-22, with a prominent vein 3-5 mm from 
the margin, these veins visible on both surfaces but better on the under 
where alone the fairly numerous transverse veins can be seen.
