MERRILL. 
elliptic-ovate, rounded, concave, 5 to 6 mm long. Stamens indefinite, 
arranged on both sides of four very slightly stipitate of subsessile, ijar- 
rowly obovoid phalanges. Rudimentary ovary fungiform, the stipe about 
3 mm long, the stigma circular, 2 mm in diameter. 
Luzon, Province of Cagayan, San Vicente, For. Bur. 17236 Curran, March 8, 
1909, on river banks near sea level. 
A species well characterized by its ovate-lanceolate or broadly, lanceolate, 
sessile leaves which are broadest in the lower part and distinctly cordate at the 
base. Among the Philippine species apparently allied to Oarcinia dives Pierre, 
and G. eugeniaefolia Wall., but very different from both. 
KAYE A Wall. 
Kayea brevipes sp. nov. § Eukayea. 
Arbor glabra circiter 10 m alta; foliis anguste oblongo-ellipticis vel 
anguste oblongis, usque ad 23 cm longis, subcoriaceis, nitidis, basi acutis, 
apice aeuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 30, petiolo crasso, furfuraceo, 
3 ad 4 mm longo ; floribus axillaribus, solitariis, sessilibus vel brevissime 
pedicellatis, circiter 2.6 cm diametro. 
A glabrous tree about 10 m high. Branches and branchlets terete, 
grayish-brown, rather slender. Leaves narrowly oblong-elliptic or nar- 
rowly oblong, 15 to 23 cm long, 2 to 4 cm wide, narrowed towards both 
ends, the base acute, the apex sharply acuminate, subcoriaceous, when 
dry shining and somewhat pale; primary nerves about 30 on each side 
of the midrib, not prominent, anastomosing, the alternating secondary 
nerves frequently nearly as distinct; petioles stout, furfuraceous, 3 to 4 
mm long. Flowers yellow, solitary, axillary, sessile or subsessile, about 
2.6 cm in diameter: Outer two sepals orbicular-ovate, 7 to 8 mm long, 
coriaceous, concave, obtuse, the inner two similar, thinner. Petals oblong- 
obovate,' about 13 mm long, the apex broad, retuse. Stamens indefinite. 
Ovary glabrous, 1-celled, 8-ovulate. 
Luzon, Province of Nueva Vizcaya, Amucucan, For. Bur. 14846 Darling, May 
13, 1909, along streams at an altitude of about 500 m, locally known as babac. 
A species allied to Kayea navesii (F.-Vill.) Vesque, differing especially in its 
much shorter petioles and larger flowers. It is probably the species identified 
by Vidal as “Ochrocarpus longifolius Thouars ? and of which he figures a leaf 
only (Sinopsis Atlas (1883) t. 12, f. E.).
