XIV. 4 Merrill: Noteworthy Philippine Plants, XV 417 
This is the second species of the genus to be found in the 
Philippines and differs from Miquelia cumingii notably in its 
umbellately arranged, not capitate, pistillate flowers.

ALLOPHYLUS Linnaeus 
ALLOPHYLUS STENOPHYLLUS sp. nov. 
Frutex erectus, ramulis foliisque plus minusve pubescens, 
ramis glabris, lenticellatis ; foliis 5-foliolatis, foliolis chartaceis, 
angustissime lanceolatis, 5 ad 10 cm longis, 1 ad 1.5 cm latis, 
tenuiter acuminatis, margine distanter serratis, supra subglabris, 
subtus ad costa nervisque leviter pubescentibus, axillis dense 
barbatis; racemis axillaribus, 7 ad 5 cm longis; fructibus sub- 
ellipsoideis, circiter 5 mm longis. 
A small erect shrub, the branches glabrous, brownish, dis- 
tinctly lenticellate, the branchlets paler and somewhat appressed- 
pubescent. Leaves palmately 5-foliolate, their petioles 4 to 6 cm 
long, appressed-pubescent with short hairs ; leaflets chartaceous, 
very narrowly lanceolate, 5 to 10 cm long, 1 to 1.5 cm wide, 
slenderly acuminate, base decurrent-acuminate, margins rather 
distantly serrate, the upper surface pale-olivaceous, shining, gla- 
brous or very slightly pubescent especially on the midrib, the 
lower surface paler, sparingly pubescent on the midrib and 
nerves, densely bearded in the axils; petiolules of the central 
leaflets 5 to 10 mm long, the lateral leaflets subsessile. Racemes 
axillary, solitary, sparingly pubescent, 5 to 7 cm long. Fruits 
rather numerous, subellipsoid, brown when dry, very slightly 
pubescent, about 5 mm long.

This species manifestly belongs in the group with Allophylus 
dimorphus Radik., from which I do not consider that A. quinatus 
Radik, can be specifically distinguished. Allophylus stenophylkis 
differs from all forms of the above species in its very narrowly 
lanceolate leaflets, which are nearly glabrous on both surfaces 
and which attain a length of 10 cm but do not exceed 1.5 cm 
in width.
