solitariis, sepalis glabris, staminibus circiter 100, glandulis cir- 
citer 15, quadratis, denticulatis ; floribus 9 pubescentibus, stylis

An erect, normally unbranched shrub, about 1 m high, entirely 
glabrous except the pistillate flowers. Leaves chartaceous, 
oblong-oblanceolate, 12 to 27 cm long, 3 to 7 cm wide, entire, 
olivaceous when dry, the apex rounded, or sometimes very broadly 
and shortly acuminate, gradually narrowed below to the cuneate 
or acute base; lateral nerves spreading, slender, distinct, up to 
20 on each side of the midrib, anastomosing, the reticulations 
very lax, indistinct; petioles 3.5 to 7 cm long. Pistillate and 
staminate inflorescences either on the same plant or on separate 
plants, elongated, 17 to 35 cm long, rachis glabrous. Staminate 
flowers up to 1.5 cm in diameter, white, their pedicels slender, 
2 to 2.5 cm long, solitary or somewhat fascicled. Sepals gla- 
brous, orbicular, about 6 mm in diameter. Stamens 100 or 
more, their filaments about 6 mm long. Disk glands about 15, 
stout, 4-angled, about 1.2 mm long, the more or less quadrate 
apex minutely toothed. Petals none. Pistillate flowers race- 
mose, solitary, their pedicels 1.2 mm long or less. Sepals some- 
what pubescent, broadly ovate, acuminate, 1.5 mm long. Ovary 
ovoid, cinereous-pubescent; styles 3, entire, recurved, 6 mm

The type was originally identified as Codiaeum cuneifolium 
Pax & K. Hoffmann, the latter species being identical with C. 
luzonicum Merr. It is distinguished from C. luzonicum and 
from C. palawanense Elm. by its larger staminate flowers; in 
being entirely glabrous except for its pistillate flowers; and 
more especially in its undivided style arms. In both Codiaeum 
luzonicum (including C. cuneifolium) and C. palawanense the 
styles are divided to the base, forming six equal arms. In the 
present species as in others of this group the staminate flowers 
are apetalous.
