were preserved. The petioles are 25 to 30 cm in length to the first leaflets, the 
racliis thereafter being in one 18 cm long, in the other nearly 40 cm long. At 
the first node, the lateral secondary petioles are over 10 cm long, with three 
leaflets ; the apical node also bears three leaflets, the intermediate node in one 
leaf has a single leaflet on either side, in the other leaf bears three leaflets on a 
secondary petiole. The veins of the under surface of the leaves are minutely 
pubescent, in the type material this is confined to the bases of the principal 
veins, while in Merrill 521/0, from Lanang, Samar, which is otherwise quite 
the same as the Polillo plant, the leaflets are glabrous. In both of these the 
leaves as a whole and the leaflets are larger than in the Negros specimens, but 
in shape, serration, and venation, essentially the same.

Well matched by 6851/, fruiting, the species not otherwise known with cer- 
tainty, except from the type collection, from Tayabas. The petioles are about 
15 cm long, slightly exceeding those of the type, 10 to 12 cm; the petiolules of 
the leaflets, the terminal excepted, vary from 5 mm to 1 cm.

A series of Philippine collections, including 10373, seems to fall under this 
species, but in the absence of material for comparison, the identification is best 
considered provisional. The chief difference is that the calyx of the Polillo 
specimen is only obscurely lobed, and that the leaflets are not subcoriaceous ; 
however, the latter objection does not apply to other collections apparently 
also referable here from Mindoro, Mindanao, and Palawan. These are mostly 
fruiting, none has a style as long as that of the Polillo plant, which is quite 
as described for this species by Planchon. The proportions of the flowers vary 
somewhat with age, so that it is a matter of some doubt whether another col- 
lection, 101/00, should also be referred here, but it is probably a different species.
