petals 3, coriaceous, very- slightly concave at the base, otherwise flat and 
spreading, oblong-lanceolate, about 7 mm long and 2.5 mm wide, obtuse; 
inner nearly similar, triangular-ovate, about 6.5 mm long, 3.5 mm wide; 
stamens numerous, nearly 1 mm long, the connective shortly produced and 
covering the anthers; carpels numerous, shortly pedicelled, less than 1 
mm long, densely pubescent at the truncate apex ; ovules minute, very 
few, near the apex of the small cavity. 
A tree, 7 m high with a trunk-diameter of 12 cm, the branches with 
gray and dark-brown bark; petioles stout, 6 to 7. mm long, lamina rigidly 
chartaceous, oblong or narrowly oblong-ovate, 13 to 21 cm long, 6 to 8.5

beneath. 
Polillo, growing on beach north of Burdeos, Bur. Sci. 9259 Robinson (type). 
Negros, Himugaan River, For. Bur. 17473 Gwrran, with fruiting pedicels, but 
almost certainly the same. Most closely allied to P. elongata Merr., but distin- 
guished by its much smaller flowers and shorter leaves. 
Local names: lanotan (Polillo); lanutan (Negros).

Unona sympetala sp. nov. 
Floribus solitariis in ramis sub foliis longiter pedicellatis, trimeris ; 
corolla basi sympetala, altius lobos 6 biseriatim dispositos efformante, lobis 
interioribus paullo brevioribus latioribusque, omnibus applanatis haud 
genitalia occultantibus ; carpellis numerosis, ovulis uniseriatim dispositis : 
foliis brevissime petiolatis, oblongo-oblanceolatis, basi subauriculatis, 
apice caudato-scuminatis. 
Pedicels solitary, from the axils of fallen leaves, 8.5 to 10 cm long, 
covered with dense spreading ferruginous pubescence as are the exterior 
surfaces of the sepals and corolla: sepals 3, ovate, acuminate, 6 mm 
long, at anthesis separate to the extreme base or earlier somewhat united ; 
corolla greenish-white, united for 4 to 5 mm from the base, there about 
1 cm in diameter, above forming 6 lobes arranged in two series, all flat- 
tened and ascending, those of either whorl well separated from one 
another but slightly overlapping those of the other whorl, not conspic- 
uously dissimilar, the outer attaining 23 mm in length and 8 mm in 
width, the inner 20 mm and 9 mm respectively, in spite of their union 
(he inner lobes traceable on the interior of the flower to its base; sta-
