broadly deltoid, obtuse or acutish, about 0.6 mm. long, 1.3 mm. wide; corolla val- 
vate in aestivation; petals 5, ovate, acutish, griseous-strigillose outside, minutely 
papillose-puberulous within along margin and toward the acutish tip, 2.8 mm. long 
(in buds, not quite mature), 1.2 mm, wide; filaments united to apex, the staminal 
tube glabrous on both sides, the teeth lanceolate, 0.2 mm. long; anthers papillose,

Type in the U.S. National Herbarium, no. 704,857, collected in forests of Rio Gron- 
gogy Basin, Bahia, Brazil, at an altitude of 100 to 500 meters, October or November, 
1915, by H. M. Curran (no. 56). 
This species belongs to the section Moschorylum, and is perhaps most nearly related 
to T. catigna A. Juss. Its local name is ‘‘ pau rosa branca,’’ according to the collector.

Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 537,584, collected at San Martin de Loba 
and vicinity, Lands of Loba, Department of Bolivar, Colombia, April or May, 1916, by 
H. M. Curran. 
Trichilia curranii seems to be most nearly related to 7', verrucosa (Karst) C. DC., but 
differs in its more numerous leaflets and its pubescence, as well as in other characters.
