2.5 to 5 cm wide, entire, apex obtuse, base usually slightly 
inequilateral, obtuse, subsessile or shortly petioled ; lateral nerves 
about 10 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower 
surface, the reticulations slender, subparallel; petioles 2 mm 
long or less. Panicles terminal, each consisting of few elongated 
branches, up to 22 cm in length, distinctly pubescent or puberu- 
lent with short brownish hairs. Flowers numerous, green, soli- 
tary or somewhat fascicled, externally pubescent, the pedicels 
1 to 1.5 mm long. Calyx 3 mm in diameter, base acute, teeth 
triangular, acute, 1.2 mm long. Petals obcordate, 1 mm long, 
base cuneate. Filaments about 1 mm long, the anthers less 
than half as long. Young fruit densely pubescent, when mature 
or nearly so, including the wing, 3.5 cm long, 8 mm wide, 
brown, densely pubescent in the lower part, less pubescent above, 
the wing thin, brown when dry, the styles persistent as a minute, 
cleft apiculus. 
Leyte, Buenavista, near Jaro, C. A. Wenzel 849, in forests, altitude about

A species well characterized by its rather numerously nerved, oblong, 
entire leaves. It is not closely allied to any other Philippine form so far 
collected.
