FLORA OF MADAGASCAR. 257 
MACARANGA MACROPODA, n. sp. 
Arborea, glabra, foliis longe petiolatis oblongis integris acuminatis rigide 
subcoriaceis utrinque viridibus glabris venis 6-7-jugis ascendentibus, 
floribus fcemineis ignotis, floribus masculis in glomerulos globosos spicatos 
vel paniculatos dispositis, perianthii glabri campanulati segmentis ovatis, 
staminibus 6-8 antheris longe exsertis. 
A tree, glabrous in all its parts, with slender woody final 
branchlets. Leaves alternate; petiole 11-2 in. long; blade 
oblong, very acuminate, 3—4 in. long, 14-14 in. broad at the 
middle, rounded at the base, moderately firm in texture, green 
and quite glabrous on both surfaces, the 6-8-jugate very as- 
cending main veins only raised. Male flowers in copious axil- 
lary spikes or panicles about as long as the petioles, aggregated 
in dense globose clusters 4-3 in. in diam. Perianth brownish, 
glabrous, 4 lin. long, cut down nearly to the base into 3—4 ovate 
segments. Anthers of 4 orbicular pale yellow cells, 4-6 times 
shorter than the glabrous filaments.— Central Madagascar, 
Baron 1696! 
MACARANGA SPH.EROPHYLLA, n. sp. 
Arborea, ramulis validis dense brunneo-pubescentibus, foliis longe 
petiolatis orbicularibus denticulatis conspicue cuspidatis crassis coriaceis 
facie viridibus subcalvatis dorso dense pilosis reticulato-venulosis, floribus 
foemineis ignotis, masculis in glomerulos globosos paucos paniculatos 
dispositis, perianthii parvi pilosi segmentis deltoideis, staminibus 6-10 
antheris breviter exsertis. 
A tree with stout terete woody branchlets, densely coated, like 
the petioles, with persistent short brown pubescence. Leaves 
alternate; petioles 2 in. or more long, spreading from the branch 
at a right angle, inserted at the base of the blade; blade 
deflexed, 4-5 in. long and broad, with a sudden lanceolate cusp, 
thick and rigid in texture, dark green and nearly glabrous above 
when mature, densely clothed with persistent short hairs beneath, 
the 4-5-jugate erecto-patent main veins and parallel cross bars 
raised and brown. Male flowers in copious shortly peduncled 
axillary panicles about as long as the petiole, made up of few 
globose clusters 4 in. in diam. Rhachis and perianth densely 
brown-pubescent, the latter campanulate, not above j-j in. 
long and broad. Orbicular 4-celled pale-yellow anthers only just 
exserted from the perianth.— Central Madagascar, Baron 1732!
