I refer this specimen here with some hesitation, as it has pistillate 
flowers only. It agrees, however, with the description in essential char- 
acters, differing chiefly in its leaves not being at all 3-lobed. In Mallotus 
barbatus, however, the leaves appear not to be always 3-lobed, as in 
Henry 9525 from Yunnan. 
Not previously reported from the Philippines; Burma to southern 
China, southward to Java.

Arbuscula vel arbor parva, plus minusve glandulosa pubescens- 
que; foliis suboppositis vix vel paulo inaequalibus, apice longe 
acuminatis, basi cordatis, trinerviis ; calycis segmentis 4, reflexis ;

A shrub or small tree, the younger branchlets, petioles, in- 
florescences, and nerves on the lower surfaces of the leaves 
more or less pubescent with simple hairs, and including the 
fruits and lower surfaces of the leaves with scattered, yellowish, 
waxy glands. Branches terete, reddish-brown, glabrous. Leaves 
oblong-ovate or narrowly ovate, membranaceous, 11 to 17 cm 
long, 5 to 7.5 cm wide, the base rather broad, rounded, cordate, 
the basal lobes short, rounded, the sinus narrow, the apex 
gradually long and slenderly acuminate, the margins distantly 
denticulate or subentire, the upper surface glabrous, or when 
young with few hairs on the nerves, the lower surface with 
numerous, scattered, yellowish, waxy glands, glabrous except 
for the pubescent midrib and primary nerves, the base distinctly
