Fruetus globosus 1 ad 1.5 cm diametro, tube calyeino apice valde con- 
stricto, calycis segmentis 2 majoribus oblaneeolatis 5 ad 8 cm longis, 
6 ad 10 mm latis, 3 minoribus linearibus 1-3-nerviis, scabris. i 
The conspicuous thing about this species is the chocolate brown tomen- 
tose under surface of the leaves and the large globose fruits, which are 
also chocolate brown. The leaves are oblaneeolate or elliptic, more or 
less blunt or rounded at apex and base, and the margins slightly inrolled. 
Secondary nerves 12 to 15 pairs with intermediate shorter nerves which 
join the reticulate tertiary ones. Secondary and some of the tertiary 
nerves more or less uniting to form intra-marginal veins. Petioles 2 to 
4.5 cm long, rather slender, thickened in upper one-fourth of their length. 
Fruit globose, scurfy, dark-brown. The two long wings somewhat pubes- 
cent, with three or four principal nerves and numerous secondary nerves 
which are transverse or oblique and reticulate. The three shorter wings 
linear, one- to three-nerved, somewhat scurfy like the fruit. 
Differs from A. curtisii in size, shape and color of fruit and in color of 
tomentum. The last feature makes it very distinct in appearance from 
A. thurifera. 
We have this species, thus far, only from the provinces of Cagayan and Ilocos 
Norte. The type was collected in the neighbhorhood of Camalamaiungan where 
it is said to grow in dense flat forest near sea level.

Large tree 25 to 35 m tall, young branches slender, minutely scurfy- 
tomentose, Leaves oblong, tapering to both ends, the apex subacute or 
acute, the base narrowed but rounded ; the upper surface glabrous, shining, 
the lower densely ochraceous-lepidote and sparsely stellate-pubescent, 
length 5 to 8.75 cm, breadth 1.9 to 3.1 cm, petiole 1.25 to 1.9 cm long; 
secondary nerves 18 to 20 pairs, spreading; accrescent calvx-lobes 8.75 
to 11.25 cm long, linear-spatulate, 3-nerved, the transverse veins bold and 
numerous. 
The most noticeable feature of this species is the brilliantly yellow 
lower surface of the leaves, the color being due to the very numerous 
small round scales with which the under surface is clothed. These scales 
are apparently of the same kind as those of A. brunnea > but here they 
impart a yellow color to the leaf. The freshly matured fruit has a pale- 
greenish-yellow color. The bark of mature trees is fissured, grayish in
