23. Popowia lanceolata Merrill
Popowia lanceolata Merrill in Philipp. Journ. Sc. xvii. 1920 252. - Type : Philippine, Luzon, 12 May 1919, Ramos Pascasio 35186 BO, L.
A tree, about 8 m high, the branches and branclets terete, the former glabrous, nearly black when dry, slender, the latter more or less ferruginous - pubescent.
Petioles about 2 mm long. Leaves 4 - 6 by 1 - 1.5 cm, lanceolate, subequally narrowed to the cuneate base and to the rather slenderly acuminate apex,
firmly chartaceous or subcoriaceous, the upper surface glabrous, the lower surface paler and appressed-pubescent on the midrib and nerves; lateral nerves
slender, ascending, 5 pairs, the reticulations fine, scalariform. Flowers in
axillary, short, few-flowered cymes, the pedicels, sepals, and petals ferruginous-pubescent. Fruits globose, sparingly pubescent, about 8 mm in
diameter.
DISTRIBUTION : PHILIPPINES : Luzon. ECOLOGY : Commonly grows in forest at low altitudes.
NOTES : A species manifestly allied to Popowia polyandra Presl Merr., which in turn is perhaps not specifically distinct from the Malaya P. pisocarpa
Endl. The present species is strongly characterized by its narrow, lanceolate, slenderly acuminate leaves.
