NEW OR NOTEWORTHY PHILIPPINE PLANTS, VIII. 193 
very small subglandular teeth ; petioles 1 to 3 cm long ; lateral nerves 10 
to 12 on each side of the midrib, rather distinct, the reticulations lax. 
Inflorescence axillary, shorter than the leaves, of racemosely arranged 
cymes, the staminate and pistillate similar. Pistillate flowers white, 
ample, their pedicels 7 to 10 mm long. Calyx of five free sepals, im- 
bricate, elliptic-ovate, rounded, often slightly retuse, glabrous, 1.2 to 2 
cm long, 6 to 12 mm wide, reticulate, apparently persistent. Petals 5, 
imbricate, broadly elliptic-ovate, about 10 mm long, 8 mm wide, apex 
rounded, not reticulate or nerved. Disk small. Staminodes none. 
Ovary glabrous, longitudinally 3-sulcate, the lobes rounded, 3-celled, each 
cell with a single ovule; styles 3, free, about 5 mm long, each cleft 
half way to the base into two divergent arms. Staminate flowers smaller 
than the pistillate ones. Calyx 5 to 6 mm long, cleft into five elliptic- 
oblong, imbricate, obtuse lobes about 3 mm long and 2 to 2.5 mm wide. 
Petals 5, free, imbricate, oblong-elliptic, rounded, 7 to 8 mm long, 4 mm 
wide. Disk-glands 5, prominent, white, 1.5 to 2 mm long. Stamens 
15, the filaments all more or less united into a column, the interior ones 
very short, the outer five longer and nearly free, these outer ones about 
3.5 mm long, the free, portions of the inner ones progressively shorter; 
anthers introrse. Rudimentary ovary none.

ILEX Linn. 
Ilex foxworthyi sp. nov. § Thyrsoprinus, Indico-Malaicae. 
Arbor infloreseentiis exceptis glabra, circiter 8 m alta; foliis ovatis 
vel elliptico-ovatis, coriaceis, usque ad 9 cm longis, nitidis, subtus obscure 
minutissime dense puncticulatis et punctis majoribus sparsis intermixtis, 
nervis utrinque circiter 7; racemis axillaribus, solitariis, in alabastro 
circiter 3 cm longis, puberulis, floribus femineis 5- vel 6-meris. 
A tree about 8 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence. Branches 
gray, terete, wrinkled when dry, not lenticellate. Leaves ovate to 
elliptic-ovate, coriaceous, shining, brown or olivaceous when dry, and 
slightly paler beneath, the margins recurved, entire, 4 to 9 cm long, 
2.5 to 5 cm wide, the lower surface very minutely, obscurely, and densely 
puncticulate, and with scattered larger points, the latter not prominent, 
the apex shortly blunt-acuminate, base rather broad, acute; nerves 
about 7 on each side o| the midrib, not prominent, slender, obscurely 
anastomosing, the reticulations lax, about as distinct on the upper sur- 
face as on the lower; petioles 1 cm long or somewhat less on the smaller 
leaves. Pistillate flowers racemose, the racemes axillary, solitary, simple, 
in bud 3 cm long or less, puberulent, some flowers also occurring solitary
