mm long, flattened, reddish-brown, obovate, shining, the cotyle-

Luzon, Province of Laguna, Dahican River, Phil. 1567 Ramos, September 
13, 1912, in forests. 
A species characterized by its few, comparatively large seeds, in which 
it differs from most species in the genus. It is possible that when flowers 
are known it will be necessary to transfer the species to some other genus, 
but in general appearance and in all characters, perhaps other than the 
seed, it is apparently an Adinandra. 
ADINANDRA MAQUILINGENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ramulis foliisque junioribus pilosis, vetustioribus 
glabris vel subglabris ; foliis coriaceis, 3.5 ad 6 cm longis, nitidis, 
oblongo-ellipticis ad oblongo-obovatis breviter acuminatis, basi 
acutis, margine in -J- superiore crenulato-denticulatis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 12, tenuibus; sepalis 5, subaequalibus, oblongo- 
ovatis, obtusis, 8 mm longis; ovario leyiter piloso, 5-loculare. 
A tree about 12 m high, the very young branchlets and young 
leaves rather softly pilose with appressed hairs, the older parts 
glabrous or nearly so. Branches terete, very dark-gray or nearly 
black, rather smooth, the branchlets brownish. Leaves coria- 
ceous, 3.5 to 6 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, oblong-elliptic to 
oblong-obovate, the base acute, the apex shortly acuminate, the 
margins in the upper one-half crenulate-denticulate, below entire, 
both surfaces shining, the lower a little paler than the upper, 
yellowish-green when dry; lateral nerves about 12 on each side 
of the midrib, slender, distinct but not prominent, about equally 
evident on both surfaces, anastomosing ; petioles 3 to 5 mm long. 
Flowers axillary, solitary, the pedicels stout, curved, glabrous, 
about 2 cm long. Sepals subequal, oblong-ovate, 8 mm long, 
5 mm wide, obtuse, somewhat appressed-pubescent. Petals and 
stamens not seen. Very immature fruit ovoid, 7 mm long, 5- 
celled, sparingly pilose, the style 8 mm long. Ovules very 
numerous in each cell, apparently but few developing into seeds. 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, Mount Maquiling, in forests on the upper 
slopes, altitude probably about 1,000 m, Bur. Sci. 13650 Ramos, September, 
1911, from the Batangas side of the mountain. 
A species well characterized by its comparatively small leaves. 
ADINANDRA CORIACEA sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra; foliis integris, oblongo-ellipticis, coriaceis, 12

tiolo circiter 1 cm longo; fructibus brunneis, ovoideis, laevis,
