pedicels about 10 mm long. Sepals 5, the outer two elliptic, 
rounded, sparingly setose and pubescent externally, about 10 mm 
long, 6 mm wide, much thicker than the three interior ones which 
are petaloid, broadly obovate, rounded to retuse, about 12 mm 
long and 10 mm wide, their margins minutely ciliate. Petals 
5, white, very broadly obovate, slightly narrowed below, 15 mm 
long, 12 mm wide, glabrous, retuse, about 12-nerved. Stamens 
numerous; filaments and anthers each about 3 mm long. Style 
2 mm long, the arms 5, 3 mm in length. 
Luzon, Subprovince of Bontoc, Bauco, Vanoverbergh H5, 2555 (type), 
April, 1910 and February, 1913, in forests, altitude about 1,700 meters: 
Subprovince of Lepanto, near Mancayan, Bur. Sci., 59Ji7 Ramos, January, 
1909: Subprovince of Abra, Bur. Sci., 7098 Ramos, February, 1909. The 
name in Bontoc is deguay; in Abra dogdoguay. 
Probably most closely allied to Saurauia macgregorii Merr., but with 
very much larger flowers and more numerously nerved leaves. The de- 
pauperate panicles from the larger branches with their comparatively large 
flowers are characteristic.

CALOPHYLLUM VANOVERBERGHII sp. nov. § Apetaluvi. 
Arbor parva partibus junioribus gemmisque exceptis glabra; 
foliis crasse coriaceis, utrinque concoloribus nitidisque, oblongis, 
usque ad 8 cm longis, obtusis, basi acutis; inflorescentiis axil- 
laribus, brevibus, depauperato-paniculatis, paucifloris, sepalis 4, 
2 exterioribus 6 mm longis, 2 interioribus subpetaloideis, paullo 
majoribus; ovario glabro. 
A small tree, 3 m high fide Vanoverbergh, nearly glabrous, the 
branches terete, stiff, grayish or olivaceous, glabrous, the very 
tips of the branchlets sometimes a little pubescent, the buds 
brown- or ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves opposite, thickly co- 
riaceous, oblong, 5 to 8 cm long, 2 to 3 cm wide, strongly shining 
and of about the same color on both surfaces when dry, the apex 
blunt, the base acute or sometimes a little decurrent; lateral 
nerves very close; petioles about 1 cm long, at first slightly 
pubescent, soon becoming quite glabrous. Inflorescence axillary, 
and terminating short lateral branchlets, 1.5 to 2.5 cm long, 
the peduncle very short, usually somewhat ferruginous-pube- 
scent, bearing at its apex usually three short branchlets, often 
also with additional pedicelled flowers. Flowers white, their 
pedicels 5 to 10 mm long. Outer two sepals broadly ovate, 
obtuse, concave, about 6 mm long, glabrous or slightly pubescent
