Inflorescentiis terminalibus, brevibus, floribus sessilibus in capitulis 
paucifloris racemose dispositis; calycis lobis inaequalibus, interioribus pro 
rata magnis; petalis 4, exterioribus saltern liberis : foliis coriaceis, elliptico- 
oblanceolatis vel obovatis, basi acutis, margine revolutis, apice abmpte 
obtuseque acuminatis; venis utrinque 10-12. 
Inflorescences terminal or subterminal, 2-3 cm long, the 4-angled 
rachis sometimes united with the branchlets, its branches short, terminated 
by solitary or few sessile flowers : calyx-tube turbinate, 5-6 mm long, 
4-5 mm wide at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes unequal, the inner 
orbicular-ovate, 3-4 mm in diameter, deciduous; petals 4, at least the 
outer free, 2 mm in diameter; stamens numerous, the filaments attaining 
a length of 4 mm, the anthers orbicular-ovate, 0.5 mm long, conspicuously 
gland-tipped; stifle 2.5 mm long; ovary thick-walled, 2-celled, the ovules 
few. 
A tree, its branches covered with grayish bark; leaves with petioles 
2-5 mm long, the lamina coriaceous, elliptic-oblanceolate to obovate, 
3. 5-6. 5 cm long, 1.5-3 cm wide, the base acute, the margin revolute, the 
apex abruptly contracted into an obtuse acumen 2-5 mm long; primary 
lateral veins on each side of the midrib 10-12, elevated on both surfaces,

This separates into two distinct series, the Mariveles and Mindoro collections 
going together, while all the Cagayan plants agree with that from Mindanao. The 
latter are characterized by more coriaceous, fewer-veined leaves, and may prove 
specifically separable. 
Local names Carutad, Biracbac, both Negrito, Pango, Cagayan, all three from 
that province: Malaruhat, Mindoro.
