 styles in the perfect flowers half- or more- free recurved. — Araliad sp. 41;

Leaflets 4-9 by 



2|-5^ in., usually 5-7, elliptic, acuminate, often rounded or cordate at th^^ base, 

 sinuate-denticulate ; petiolules often ^l in. Panicles glabrous or villous, often 1 ft. 

 by 4-6 in., 3-9 clustered at the ends of the branchlets; branches 2-3^ in., ra- 

 ceTned, flowering from their base; pedicels 0-J in., with a minute linear bract at 

 their bases. Styles in the male flowers combined nearly to their summit, in the per- 

 fect flowers 3-5, recurved free sometimes almost to the base. Fruit (not ripe) sniall, 

 subglobose ; probably less angular and elongate than that of P. Lesche7iaidtii \ disc
