from Mount Palimlim, this specimen differing slightly from the 
type in its relatively somewhat shorter and slightly fewer-nerved 
leaves. The alliance of this species is manifestly with Crypto- 
carya vidalii Merr., from which it is easily distinguished by its 
much smaller fruits. 
CRYPTOCARYA EUPHLEBIA sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ramulis et petiolis et inflorescentiis dense cas- 
taneo-pubescentibus ; foliis oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, sub- 
coriaceis, usque ad 10 cm longis, costa excepta glabris, olivaceis, 
nitidis, apice breviter acuminatis, basi acutis ad subrotundatis, 
utrinque, praesertim subtus, minute et dense foveolatis; nervis 
utrinque 6 ad 8, supra impressis, subtus valde priminulis, sub- 
adscendentibus, vix anastomosantibus ; paniculis axillaribus ter- 
minalibusque sub fructu usque ad 10 cm longis; fructibus in 
siccitate nigris, depresso-globosis, laevis, glabris, 10 ad 12 mm 
diametro. 
A small tree, the branchlets, petioles, and inflorescences dense- 
ly and finely castaneous-pubescent. Branches terete, glabrous, 
lenticellate, smooth, brownish. Leaves subcoriaceous, oblong to 
oblong-elliptic, 6 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 5 cm wide, olivaceous, 
shining, glabrous except for the somewhat pubescent midrib, the 
apex abruptly and distinctly acuminate, base acute to somewhat 
rounded, both surfaces, but especially the lower one, densely and 
shallowly foveolate ; lateral nerves 6 to 8 on each side of the mid- 
rib, impressed on the upper surface, very prominent on the 
lower surface, somewhat ascending, slightly curved, not or but 
very obscurely anastomosing ; petioles 8 to 10 mm long. Panicles 
axillary and terminal, in fruit up to 10 cm long. Fruits black, 
glabrous, smooth, shining, depressed-globose, 10 to 12 mm in 
diameter.

This species is well characterized by its shallowly and densely 
foveolate, glabrous, conspicuously nerved leaves and its de- 
pressed-globose fruits. In the latter character it differs espe- 
cially from Cryptocarya oblongata Merr. It seems to be most 
closely allied to Cryptocarya zamhoanguensis Merr. and C. inter- 
media Elm. 
CRYPTOCARYA ELLIPTIFOLIA sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, inflorescentiis exceptis glabra; foliis ellipticis ad 
elliptico-ovatis, chartaceis, subolivaceis, nitidis, usque ad 20 cm 
longis, apice perspicue et obtuse acuminatis, basi leviter decur- 
rento-acuminatis, nervis utrinque 5, distantibus, distinctis, cur-
