long. Ovary densely tomentose; styles stout, densely bearded, 
about 4 mm long. Infructescences dense, cylindric, about 10 
cm long and 3.5 to 4 cm in diameter, the individual capsules, 
including the thick indumentum, about 1.5 cm long, densely 
covered with filiform, densely stellate-tomentose, weak, vari- 
ously incurved and intertwined, slender processes.

The alliance of this species is manifestly with Mallotus bar- 
batus Muell.-Arg., to which I previously referred Whitford 
711, a specimen with pistillate flowers. Pax & Hoffmann® 
have already indicated that Whitford’s specimen apparently 
represented a distinct species. Now that complete material is 
available, presenting staminate and pistillate flowers and 
fruits, it is clearly evident that this Philippine form is dis- 
tinct from Mallotus barbatus Muell.-Arg.

A species previously known only from New Guinea but 
scarcely distinguishable from Mallotus hookerianus Muell.-Arg. 
from southern China. The specimen is with mature fruits 
and agrees very closely with a cotype before me, Gjellerup 316!, 
staminate specimen.
