ROBINSON. 
Staminate inflorescences spicate, 4 to 9 cm long, the flowers well sepa- 
rated; bracts ovate, 0.5 mm long, ciliate; calyx nrceolate, about 0.7 mm 
long, obscurely showing 4 acuminate lobes, minutely pubescent or at least 
ciliate; disk 0.3 mm 'long, obscurely 4-lobed, glabrous; stamens 4, fila- 
ments 1.5 mm long, anthers extrorse, 0.4 mm long; rudimentary ovary 
glabrous. 
A small tree, its ultimate branches- covered with grayish-yellow striate 
bark, all vegetative parts glabrous : petioles 4 to 10 mm long, rather stout, 
lamina chartaceous, elliptic, elliptic-oblanceolate, or oblong-oblanceolate, 
11 to 17 cm long, 3.5 to 5.5 cm wide, the base acute, the apex for min g 
an acute acumen about 2 cm long, the upper surface plumbeous, the under 
surface somewhat brownish; primary lateral veins on each side of the 
midrib 6 to 8, conspicuously and loosely anastomosing, and forming a 
definite lateral vein ; stipules caducous, lanceolate, 4 mm long. 
Poliulo, Bur. Sci. 10280 McGregor (type). Luzon, Province of Cagayan, 
Claveria, Bur. Sci. 7397 Ramos ; east coast, locality with no known name, Bur. 
Sci. 10583 McGregor. Allied to A. bunius (Linn.) Spr., but distinguished by the 
4 stamens, the much more conspicuous leaf-venation, and other characters. 
Aporosa microcalyx (Hassk.) Hassk. in Bull. Soc. Bot. France 6 (1859) 714. 
Represented by 9074, 9306, 10275 ; other distribution Isabela, Albay, and 
Samar; Borneo, Banka, Java, Malay Peninsula, a variety in China. 
Glochidion benguetense Elmer Lead. Philip. Bot. 1 (1908) 304. 
This, or at least G. sablanense Elmer, the types of which seem to me different 
stages of development of the same species, known otherwise from Benguet and 
Tayabas, is represented by 6878 and 10274- 
Glochidion littorale Bl. Bijdr. (1825) 585. 
Represented by 9145 j other distribution Tayabas, Mindoro, Panay, Mindanao, 
Borneo, Java, Sumatra, India. 
Glochidion mindorense C. B. Rob. in Philip. Joum. Sci. 4 (1909) Bot. 98. 
This species, represented by 9293, should be placed nearer to G. rubrum than 
was indicated in the original description, as the stylar column is ordinarily less 
widened apically than there stated; the cells of the ovaiy vary from 4 to 6. 
Glochidion sp. 
A collection with much the appearance of G. camiguinense Merr. and G. 
merrillii C. B. Rob. is represented by 6994, differing from the former in the 
well developed stylar column and from the latter by 4-celled ovaries and 
capsules. Its true alliance is probably the latter, but as no staminate flowers 
were found, and as the section can not be determined with certainty, it is left 
undescribed.
