ROBINSON. 
A shrub 4 m high, the bark of its ultimate branches gray, very 
slightly striate, glabrous; leaves borne on petioles 4-8 mm long, the 
lamina entire, elliptic or more rarely oval, 7.2-13.2 cm long, 2.8-5. 8 
cm wide, decurrent at the base, at the apex shortly and obtusely acuminate, 
glabrous on both surfaces, paler in color on the under surface; primary 
lateral veins on each side of the midrib 10-12, curving from the midrib, 
hardly forming a distinct submarginal vein except in young leaves, the 
ends of the principal veins usually joined by much more obscure ones 
only, the venation of all orders nevertheless quite distinct on both surfaces. 
Type collected at an elevation of 125 m at Niladlaran, Island of Ticao, by 
W. W. Clark, For. Bur. 1001, May-June, 1904. 
Very similar in gross characters to G. ovatus, but quite distinct, especially in 
its venation. 
12. Cleistanthus integer sp. nov. 
Arbor monoicus ; floribus pentameris, ovario villoso, integro, 3-loculari, 
2-ovulato; capsulis etiam integris, subglabratis ; foliis anguste ellipticis 
vel oblongis, basi brevissime acuminatis, apice acuminatis. 
Monoecious ; the flowers borne in axillary bracted fascicles : male 
flowers (only one somewhat damaged specimen seen) borne on pedicels 
3.5— 4.5 mm long; the calyx 3.5 mm long, divided for two-thirds of its 
length into 5 broadly lanceolate lobes with thickened apices; petals 5, 
obovate, 1.2 mm long, 0.8 mm wide, 3-toothed at the apex, narrowed 
at the base into a short claw ; disk covering the base of the calyx ; 
androgynophore about 0.5 mm long; filaments 5, 1.3 mm long, decreas- 
ing in diameter upwards; anthers broadly lanceolate, about 1 mm long; 
rudiment of the ovary lanceolate, 0.7 mm long, 3-notched at the apex : 
female flowers with apparently a slightly longer calyx divided more deeply 
into linear-lanceolate lobes, their tips spreading or reflexed in fruit; 
petals elliptic, nearly 1 mm long, 0.7 mm wide, slightly toothed at the 
apex; disk divided into 5 oblong lobes 1.5 mm long, and 0.9 m m wide, 
free for about 1 mm; ovary borne on a short pedicel, globose, fulvous- 
pubescent, 2.5 mm in diameter; styles 3, deciduous, 0.8 mm long, then 
forking into 2 arms also about 0.8 mm long : the ovary entire, 3-celled, 
each cell containing , 2 ovules : capsules borne on slender pedicels less 
than 1 mm long, which are concealed by the calyx, globose-obovoid, 
5-5.5 mm long, 5. 5-6. 5 mm in diameter, reticulate, with a few scattered 
inconspicuous hairs, dehiscent, 3-celled, the seeds not matured. 
A tall tree, the bark of the ultimate branches gray, more or less 
striate and lenticellate, glabrous; leaves borne on petioles 4-5 mm long, 
the lamina narrowly elliptic or oblong, or rarely obovate,- 7-9 cm long, 
2.5- 3 cm wide, subcoriaceous, entire, shortly acuminate at the base, at 
the apex narrowed into a slender acumen 1.5-2 cm long, glabrous and 
shining on both surfaces; primary lateral veins on each side of the 
midrib 7-9, arched, the apical becoming subparallel with the midrib,
