about 5 mm long, densely stellate-pubescent. Calyx-segments 
four, oblong-elliptic, acute or slightly acuminate, outside densely 
stellate-puberulent. Stamens about 60 ; filaments glabrous, 2 mm 
long. Disk none. Capsules about 1.2 cm in diameter, of three 
dehiscent cocci, depressed, sulcate between the cocci, outside 
densely pale-stellate-puberulent, and with scattered, soft, pubes- 
cent, 2 mm long or less, spine-like processes or papillae which 
do not form a continuous covering.

The original description of Adelia papillaris (pappilaris) Blanco, is 
entirely inadequate, consisting only of the following “Adelia pappilaris, 
Adelia de pezones. Arbolitos dioicos con las cagillas cubiertas no de 
barbas sino de pezones cortos. Guadalupe.” His material was from near 
Manila (Guadalupe, Province of Rizal), and I know of but two species of 
the genus to which the short description applies, the form above described 
and Mallotus playfairii Hemsl; although the latter species is widely 
distributed in Luzon, we have no material of it from Rizal Province. The 
above form needing a name, I have assumed it to be the species so in- 
adequately described by Blanco, transferring his specific name to Mallotus, 
and written up a fairly complete description of the species. The Malapad- 
na-bato specimens are from a locality in the vicinity of Guadalupe, the 
type locality of Adelia papillaris Blanco, and it also occurs in thickets just 
across the Pasig River from Guadalupe. 
The species is well characterized by its dense, stellate-puberulent in- 
dumentum and by its capsules being supplied with scattered, soft, spine-like 
processes, similar to those of Mallotus playfairii Hemsl.

The Linnean name for this common and widely distributed species is 
here retained, as it has manifest priority over the commonly used T. rhom- 
boidea Jacq. Linnaeus may have included in Triumfetta bartramia more 
than Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq., as that species in now understood, as 
suggested by Trimen,® but it seems that in most part the Linnean species 
is the same as Jacquin’s.
