(fruit), June, 1907 (flowers). 
A species allied to Dysoxyluin cumingianum C. DC., but well characterized by 
its strongly 3-keeled, triangular fruits. 
Dysoxylum pyriforme Merrill sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ramulis foliisque plus minus dense hirsutis ; foliis alter- 
nis, ea. 60 cm longis, 10-jugatis; racemis caulinibus, 2 ad 4 cm longis, 
pauce hirsutis; floribus 4-meris; fructibus anguste pyriformibus dense 
brunneo-lepidotis, ca. 2 cm longis. 
A small tree, the branches stout, gray or brownish, the branchlets gray, 
lepidote, the ultimate tips densely hirsute. Leaves alternate, about 60 
cm long, 10-jugate, odd pinnate, the petiole and rachis densely hir- 
sute; leaflets opposite, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, 6 to 14 cm long, 
2 to 3.5 cm wide, submembranous, apex acuminate or rarely acute, base 
subacute or rounded, sometimes inequilateral, dark above and densely 
hirsute on the midrib and lateral nerves, and with few hairs on the sur- 
face, beneath pale and densely hirsute; nerves 12 to 15 on each side of 
the midrib, rather distinct; petiolules about 1 mm long. Racemes on 
the larger branches and trunk, solitary or two or three from the same 
protuberance, 2 to 4 cm long, few flowered, slightly hirsute, the pedicels 
slender, about 3 mm long. Calyx ellipsoid, about 5 mm long, constricted 
at the apex, entire or obscurely toothed. Petals 4, oblong, about 5 mm 
long, 2 mm wide, hirsute outside. Stamina! tube glabrous, cylindrical, 
3.5 mm long, cleft to the middle into 8 oblong 1 mm wide truncate teeth; 
anthers 8, alternate with the teeth, 1 mm long. Disk cylindrical, 1.7 
mm long, truncate. Ovary densely hirsute ; style short, glabrous ; stigma 
disciform, 1 mm in diameter. Fruit narrowly pyriform, about 2 cm

lepidote. 
Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keitliley, Mrs. Clemens 1221, 1100, September, 
June, 1907. 
A species allied to Dysoxylum cumingianum C. DC., readily distinguished 
however by its many- jugate leaves, racemose inflorescence and quite different 
fruits. 
ELAEOCARPACEiE. 
ELAEOCARPUS Linn. 
Elaeocarpus octopetalus Merrill sp. nov. 
Arbor ca. 23 m alta; foliis elliptico-ovatis, glabris, coriaceis, subinteg- 
ris, ca. 20 cm longis; racemis axillaribus, solitariis; floribus ca. 1 cm 
longis, sepalis 8, extus dense cinereo-pubescentibus, petalis 8, integris; 
aril heris aristatis; ovario 2-loculari. 
A tree about 23 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence, the branches 
terete, rather thick, gray or brownish. Leaves elliptical-ovate, 16 to 20
