ceous, glabrous, shining, the midrib very stout, the lateral nerves 13 on 
each side of the midrib, very prominent, ascending, the reticulations not 
prominent; petioles stout, 1 to 3 cm long; stipules persistent, covering 
the apices of the branchlets, grayish, glabrous, coriaceous, oblong-ovate, 
acute, or obtuse, strongly keeled, 1 to 1.5 cm long. Flowers in few- 
flowered fascicles on the branches below the leaves; pedicels about 1.5 
cm long, densely ferruginous-pubescent. Outer three calyx lobes valvate, 
densely ferruginous-pubescent, broadly ovate, acute or obtuse, coriace- 
ous, about 6 mm long, the inner three somewhat petaloid, imbricate, 
nearly glabrous, or pubescent only on the median portion of the back, 
suborbicular, rounded or refuse. Stamens about 20. Ovary glabrous, 
9- or 10-celled; styles nearly 2 cm long.

A species remarkable for its elongated retuse leaves, prominent, persistent 
stipules and 9- to 10-celled ovaries. In most species of Palaquium the ovary is 
G-celled, so that the present species is anomalous in this respect as well as in its 
persistent stipules. In all other characters it is a true Palaquium, and is ac- 
cordingly described as such. 
Palaquium elongatum sp. nov. 
Arbor ca. 20 m alta; ramulis glabris; foliis lanceolatis vel anguste 
elongato-lanceolatis, acuminatis, coriaceis, supra glabris, subtus dense 
ferrugineo-pubescentibus nitidisque, 20 ad 25 cm longis, 4 ad 8 cm 
latis; nervis utrinque 14 ad 16, prominentibus ; floribus axillaribus, 
solitariis, longe pedicellatis, dense ferrugineo-pubescentibus. 
A tree about 20 m high, the branches thickened, gray, glabrous, the 
apices of the branchlets with numerous, narrowly lanceolate, about 1 cm 
long, coriaceous, glabrous stipules. Leaves lanceolate to narrowly oblong- 
lanceolate, coriaceous, 20 to 25 cm long, 4 to 8 cm wide, glabrous on the 
upper surface, beneath densely ferruginous-pubescent and shining, the 
midrib and lateral nerves glabrous or nearly so, apex short-acuminate, 
gradually narrowed below to the acute or slightly acuminate base ; 
nerves on each side of the midrib 14 to 16, prominent, somewhat ascend- 
ing, reticulations nearly obsolete; petioles about 4 cm long, glabrous or 
nearly so. Flowers in the leaf-axils, solitary, few, the pedicels ferrugi- 
nous-pubescent, 5 cm long or less. Outer three calyx lobes ferruginous- 
pubescent, valvate, broadly triangular-ovate, acute, about 6 mm long, 
the inner three thinner, ovate, appressed-pubescent on the back. Corolla 
appressed-pubescent on the outside. Stamens about 20. Ovary ferru- 
ginous-pubescent, 6-celled ; the style, in bud, glabrous, 4 mm long. 
Luzon, Province of Ta.ya.bas, Mauban, For. Bur. 6620 Reyes, March, 1907. 
A species well characterized by its narrow elongated leaves, and few, long- 
pedicelled flowers.
