covering of brown, paleaceous scales. Leaves palmately 3- to 5-lobed, 
15 to 20 cm long, subeoriaceous, glabrous, the base truncate or rounded, 
the lobes oblong, acuminate, coarsely apiculate-dentate but not sinuate 
and but slightly or not at all narrowed below, reaching to about the 
middle of the leaf. Inflorescence similar to that of Boerlagiodendron 
luzoniense , the perfect and sterile flowers much the same but the former 
with only three petals and three stamens, the ovary 3-celled. 
Camigtjin, (Babuyanes Islands) Bur. Sci. J/ 1.35 Fenix, July, 1907, a shrub 1

Arbor parva, glabra; foliis eoriaeeis, circiter 25 cm longis, usque ad 
medium palmatim 5-lobatis, petiolis ad basin seriatim manieato-cristatis, 
cristulis margine valde pectinatis; inflorescentiis glabris, ramulis omni-

A tree 7 to 8 m high, the branches glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, 
suborbicular in outline, about 25 cm long, base subtruncate, palmately

numerous, coriaceous, ovate bracts about 3 mm long, the peduncles 1.5 
to 2 cm long, each peduncle with a pair of narrowly ovate, acuminate 
bracts at the apex, each peduncle tripartite at the apex, its branches 
equal, or subequal, 1 to 1.5 cm long, the two lateral branches bearing- 
heads of perfect flowers, the middle one with sterile flowers only ; lateral 
heads 6 to 8 mm in diameter, densely many-flowered, flowers sessile,

Batan (Batanes Islands), Mount Iraya, Bur. Sci. 3115 Fenix, June, 1907. 
A species readily recognizable by its coriaceous leaves which are palmately 
lobed to the middle, the base of the petioles furnished with strongly pectinate 
crests, its 5-merous flowers and the secondary branches of the umbels being of 
the same length in both the lateral and middle heads.
