CODIAEUM TRICHOCALYX sp. nov. 
Frutex erectus, dioicus, parti bus junioribus inflorescentiisque 
exceptis glaber; foliis plus minusve confertis, chartaceis, oliva- 
ceis, oblongo-obovatis ad late oblanceolatis, usque ad 20 cm 
longis, obtusis vel breviter latissime obtuse acuminatis, basi 
cuneatis, integris, nervis utrinque circiter 15, patulis; petiolo 
1.5 ad 2.5 cm longo; racemis $ elongatis, adpresse pubescenti- 
bus; floribus fasciculatis, pedicellis sepalisque dense longe cilia- 
to-hi^*feutis ; petalis minutis, glabris, oblongo-spatulatis, 1.5 mm 
longis; staminibus circiter 100. 
An erect, apparently unbranched, dioecious shrub, glabrous 
except the younger parts and the inflorescences. Branches te- 
rete, smooth, the ultimate ones 3 to 4 mm in diameter. Leaves 
crowded at the apices of the branches, chartaceous, oblong-obo- 
vate to broadly oblanceolate, 13 to 20 cm long, 4.5 to 7 cm 
wide, apex obtuse to broadly and obtusely acuminate, gradually 
narrowed in the lower two-thirds to the cuneate base; lateral 
nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, slender, spreading, 
very obscurely anastomosing; petioles 1.5 to 2.5 cm long. Stam- 
inate inflorescences elongated, 20 to 40 cm in length, appressed- 
pubescent with short hairs. Flowers white, in distant fascicles, 
up to 5 at a node, but 1 or 2 opening at one time, their ped- 
icels and the sepals densely covered with long, rather stilf, 
spreading, white or pale hairs, the pedicels up to 1 cm in length. 
Sepals obovate, rounded, about 4 mm long. Petals minute, 
oblong-spatulate, 1.5 mm long, glabrous, entire. Disk-glands 
about 10, thick, angled, about 0.8 nim long, truncate. Stamens 
100 or more, the filaments glabrous, 3 to 4 mm long.

Eclaiio, December 5, 1916, in forests at low altitudes. 
A species manifestly allied to Codiaeum luzonicum Merr., and 
C. cuneifolium Pax & K. Hoffm., from both of which it is at 
once distinguished by the dense indumentum on the pedicels and 
calyces, which consists of long, stiff, spreading, white or pale 
hairs that are 0.8 to 1 mm in length.
