9. Cleistanthus everettii sp. nov. 
Arbor vel arbuseula, floribus ignotis, calyce fructifero sessili, capsulis 
breviter pedicellatis, dense fulvo-pubescentibus, 3-lobatis, 3-locularibus, 1- 
spermis; foliis ellipticis vel oblongis, basi rotundatis, apice caudato- 
acuminatis ; petiolis conspicue anntdato-rugosis ; stipnlis lanceolatis, 
persistentibus. 
Flowers unknown: fruiting calyces sessile, axillary, in fascicles of 
three or less, surrounded by a few bracts; the bracts, both surfaces of 
the calyx, the outer surface of the disk, the capsule and its pedicel 
fulvous-pubescent or tomentose; calyx 6 mm long, its 5 lobes lanceolate- 
ovate, 3.5 mm long, subacute : petals 5, inserted along the upper margin 
of the calyx-tube, persistent in fruit, 1.1-1. 3 mm long, the upper two- 
thirds broadly triangular, 1 mm wide, acute or subacute at the apex, 
the margins obscurely crenate, the base truncate, the basal third forming 
a claw; disk double, the inner free for 1 mm, apparently with a lobe 
opposite each of the calyx-lobes, the outer forming 4 lobes opposite 
each of the calyx-lobes and one opposite each of the petals, these lobes 
0.3 mm long, lanceolate; capsules with pedicels barely surpassing the 
calyx-tubes, orbicular-obovoid, 9-10 mm long, 11-13 mm in diameter, 
3-lobed, 3-angled, 3-celled, each cell 1-seeded, the capsule at its depressed 
apex apiculate, still bearing the slender styles, which are cleft from 0.3 
mm above their base into 2 arms about 1 mm long, but convolute ; seeds 
poorly developed. 
A bush or small tree, its stem 10 cm in diameter, the bark of the 
ultimate branches gray, striate, the youngest shoots fulvous-pubescent, 
becoming glabrous; leaves borne on very conspicuously annulate-rugose 
and somewhat pubescent petioles 5-8 mm long, the lamina elliptic or 
oblong, 12.5-18 cm long, 3. 7-5. 5 cm wide, submembranaceous, the 
margins entire or barely wavy, the base rounded or slightly acute, the 
apex prolonged into a slender and almost apiculate acumen 2-2.5 cm 
long; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 11-13, not includ- 
ing those of the acumen, veins of all orders plainly evident on both 
surfaces. 
Type collected in dense forest at an elevation of 75 m at Ilimugaan River, 
Island of Negros, by H. D. Everett, For. Bur. 7274, May 21, 1907. 
10. Cleistanthus ovatus sp. nov. 
Frutex lignosus; capsulis depresso-globosis, siccis brunneis, trilobatis, 
basi et loborum sinibus interdum parce ferrugineo-villosis, trilocularibus, 
loculis monospermis; foliis ovatis vel rarissime elliptieo-oblongis, basi 
acutis, apice breviter acuminatis ; venis utrinque 10-12, rectis, venis 
submarginalibus duobus praestantisSimis, vel obscure pluribus. 
Fruiting specimens alone known : fruiting calyces sessile, in axillary 
fascicles of 1-4 surrounded by densely ferruginous-villose bracts; calyx 
glabrous, 3.5 mm long, closely embracing the base of the pedicel of the
