mm diametro. 
An erect glabrous shrub about 2 m high, the branches and 
branchlets terete, the latter pale when dry, about 1 mm in dia- 
meter. Leaves oblong, chartaceous to subcoriaceous, 15 to 20 
cm long, 4.5 to 6 cm wide, the upper surface olivaceous when 
dry, the lower surface pale; marginal nerves distinct, more or 
less arched between the tips of the transverse ones, the latter 
about 14 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower sur- 
face; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm long. Infructescences axillary, cy-

and branchlets. It is distinguished from all of the other Philip- 
pine species of this group by its unusually long petioles.
