somewhat longitudinally 4-suleate, 4-celled, each cell with from 5 to 7 
or more pyrenes. 
Samar, near Catbalogan, For. Bur. 12856 Rosenbluth, February 7, 1909, 
hillsides along streams at an altitude of about 200 m, locally known as canilan. 
A species well characterized by its ample leaves, its secund spicate flowers and 
its pubescent younger parts, inflorescence, and leaves. In its foliage it is some- 
what suggestive of Timonius stipulosus Val., but is very distinct from that 
species. 
UROPHYLLUM Wall. 
Urophyllum elliptifolium sp. nov. 
Arbuscula erecta circiter 3 m alt a,' partihns junioribus plus minus 
f nrfuraceis exceptis glabra ; f oliis ellipticis vel oblongo-ellipticis, coriaceis, 
nitidis, basi acutis vel acnminatis, apice rotundatis vel breviter late 
acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 12, subtus prominentibus ; umbellis 
axillaribus, solitariis, breviter pedunculatis ; fructibus paucis, carnosis, 
ovoideis, circiter 7 mm longis. 
An erect shrub about 3 m high. Branches brownish or grayish, terete, 
or the younger ones somewhat compressed, the tips of the branches, leaf- 
axils, stipules, and petioles of the younger leaves with few to many, thin, 
small, ultimately deciduous, appressed, pale scales. Leaves elliptic to 
oblong-elliptic, coriaceous, shining, rather pale when dry, 8 to 12 cm long, 
3.5 to 6 cm wide, the base acute or somewhat acuminate, the apex rounded 
or shortly and broadly acuminate; primary nerves about 12, prominent 
beneath, spreading, curved, anastomosing, the alternating secondary ones 
also prominent, the reticulations distinct; petioles 1.5 to 3 cm long; 
stipules oblong, rounded, 1.5 cm long, furfuraceous, deciduous. Blowers 
unknown. Bruit in solitary, axillary umbels, the peduncles about 8 mm 
long, with few small bracts at the apex, each peduncle bearing from 
three to five ovoid fruits about 7 mm long, 5 mm in diameter, glabrous, 
their pedicels about as long as the peduncles. Seeds very numerous, 
pale-brown, 0.5 mm long, densely and finely foveolate. 
Palawan, Mount Pulgar, For. Bur. 3811 Curran, February, 1906, on forested 
slopes, altitude 700 to 1,300 m. 
Possibly as closely allied to the Bornean Urophyllum subaneurum Stapf as 
to any other species, but quite distinct from that. 
Urophyllum negrosense sp. nov. 
Arbuscula erecta, ramulis foliis subtus ad nervos, stipulis bracteisque 
plus minus ciliato-hirsutis ; foliis, late oblongo-lanceolatis, submembrana- 
eeis, usque ad 18 cm longis, apice sensim subcaudato-aeuminatis, basi 
acutis, nervis utrinque circiter 16; stipulis oblongis, membranaceis, usque 
ad 2.5 cm longis; floribus axillaribus, sessilibus, fasciculatis. 
An erect shrub ( fide Everett) . Branches terete, brownish, glabrous or 
nearly so. Leaves broadly oblong-lanceolate, submembranaceous, 15 to
