ix. c, 5 Merrill: Philippine Euphorbiaceae, II 477 
Biliran, Bur. Sci. 18539 McGregor, June 14, 1914. 
A very characteristic species belonging in the group with Codiaeum 
luzonicum Merr. and C. cuneifolium Pax & K. Hoffm., from which it is 
at once distinguished by its indumentum, its leaves gradually narrowed 
downward from the upper three-fourths, and its very long inflorescence 
which is up to 1 m in length. The petals, if present, are scarcely dis- 
tinguishable from the disk glands. 
CYCLOSTEMON Blume 
CYCLOSTEMON MAQUILINGENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor glaberrima, circiter 20 m alta ; foliis coriaceis, oblongis 
ad oblongo-lanceolatis, nitidis, basi inaequilateralibus, usque ad 
20 cm longis, integris, acuminatis, basi uno latere rotundatis 
altero angustioribus, acutis, nervis lateralibus utrinque circiter 
9, adscendentibus, reticulis utrinque prominentibus ; floribus $ 
axillaribus, fasciculatis, numerosis, glabris, pedicellatis ; sepalis 
circiter 5 mm longis; staminibus 12 ad 15; fructibus glabris, 
ellipsoideis, 2.5 ad 3 cm longis, 1-locellatis, pericarpio in siccitate 
grosse rugosis. 
A tree about 20 m high, entirely glabrous. Branches slender, 
terete, brownish-olivaceous. Leaves oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 
acuminate, entire, 12 to 20 cm long, 3.5 to 6.5 cm wide, brownish- 
olivaceous and somewhat shining when dry, the same color on 
both surfaces, narrowed upward to the blunt-acuminate apex, 
the base inequilateral, one side usually rounded, the other much 
narrower and acute; lateral nerves about 9 on each side of 
the midrib, rather slender, curved-ascending, anastomosing, the 
ultimate reticulations raised, the veinlets slender but distinct 
on both surfaces; petioles 5 to 7 mm long. Male flowers nu- 
merous, quite glabrous, axillary, fascicled, 10 to 15 in each axil, 
their pedicels rather slender, 5 to 7 mm long. Sepals 4, concave, 
elliptic-ovate, 4.5 to 5 mm long. Stamens 12 to 15; anthers 
about 3 mm long. Fruits ellipsoid, yellow, 1-celled, 1-seeded, 2.5 
to 3 cm long, the endocarp rather hard and bony, less than 1 
mm thick, the pericarp much thicker, when dry very coarsely 
wrinkled.

Students ( Baldemor ), Feb. 28, 1913, in flower; For. Bur. 19881, 19957,

This species grows in forests, ascending to at least 350 meters. It 
is well characterized by being entirely glabrous, even to the flowers, by 
its entire, somewhat inequilateral leaves, and by its rather large, ellipsoid, 
prominently and coarsely wrinkled fruits. Its leaves somewhat resemble 
those of C. bordenii Merr., but in floral and fruit characters it is entirely 
different.
