XIV. 4 Merrill: Noteworthy Philippine Plants, XV 413 
Pan AY, Capiz Province, Mount Macosolon, Bur. Sci. 30756 
Ramos & Edaho, April 22, 1918, on forested slopes. 
This species resembles Semecarpus philippinensis Engl., to 
which it is manifestly allied, but from which it is easily distin- 
guished by its ferruginous^-pubescent panicles and hypocarps. 
ONCOCARPUS A. Gray 
ONCOCARPUS OBOVATA (Elm.) comb. nov. 
Dichapetalum obovatum Elm. Leaf!. Philip. Bot. 2 (1908) 483. 
Luzon, Tayabas Province, Mount Banahao, Elmer 7931 
(type). May, 1907, in fruit; Quisumbing 13A6, May, 1918, with 
staminate flowers. 
While it has long been realized by me that the form described 
by Mr. Elmer could be no dichapetalous plant, no study of it 
was previously made on account of the incomplete material rep- 
resenting it. Staminate material from near the type locality 
shows that it is an anacardiaceous plant and is referable to Onco- 
carpus. It differs radically from the other Philippine species of 
this small genus in its very short inflorescences, the staminate 
ones being reduced to few-flowered, axillary fascicles ; the stam- 
inate flowers are moreover 5- to 6-merous, with 5 calyx-lobes 
and 6 petals and stamens. The petals are oblong-lanceolate, re- 
ticulate, villous externally, about 3 mm long, 1 to 1.2 mm wide, 
obtuse or acute ; the filaments are unequal in length and glabrous ; 
the rudimentary ovary densely villous. In the type collection, 
which was distributed as Pterospermum, the single fruit I have 
seen is 1-celled and 1-seeded, although it is described as 2-celled 
with one seed in each cell. The pedicel is only slightly thickened 
in fruit. The alliance of this species is manifestly with Onco- 
carptis densiflora Merr.
