BLAKE—-NEW SOUTH AMERICAN SPERMATOPHYTES. 248 
somewhat paler, sparsely hispidulous or subglabrate, the costa and the 10 to 13 pairs of 
nerves prominulous beneath, the secondaries obscure; terminal leaflet similar but 
somewhat larger; peduncles axillary and terminal, flattened, sparsely strigose or 
hispidulous, 5 to 7 cm. long; panicles subcylindric, 5.5 to 9 em. long, 2.5 to 3.5 cm, 
wide, sparsely hispidulous, their branchlets erect or divergent; cymules about 3 to 5- 
flowered; pedicels 1.5 to 2.8 mm. long; calyx cup-shaped, very sparsely hispidulous, 
1.7 mm, long, very shallowly 5-toothed, the teeth broadly deltoid, obtuse or acutish; 
corolla 5-parted (rarely and abnormally 6-parted), 3.2 mm. long, very sparsely strigose 
outside, the segments valvate in aestivation, connate below, ovate or lance-ovate, 
obtusish, puberulous along margin; stamens 10; anthers united to apex, the tube 
about 1 mm. long, glabrous outside, sparsely pilose inside toward apex, bearing 10 
slender teeth between the anthers; anthers lance-oblong, obtuse, glabrous, about 1 mm. 
long, the alternate ones slightly smaller; ovary densely strigose, 3-celled, the ovules 2 
in each cell, collateral; style very short, glabrous; stigma capitate. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 704,513, collected in forests of the Rio 
Grongogy Basin, Bahia, Brazil, October or November, 1915, by H. M. Curran (no. 81). 
This species is apparently most closely related to the Colombian T. appendiculata 
(Triana & Planch.) G. DC., of the section Moschorylum, but differs in its much smaller, 
very sparsely strigose corolla and very short style, and in having the staminal tube 
sparsely pilose within toward the apex. 
Trichilia triphylla Blake, sp. nov. 
Tree or shrub; older branchlets grayish fuscous, dotted with whitish lenticels, 
finely puberulous and sparsely strigose, the younger dull gray, more or less densely 
sordid-strigose and strigillose; petioles flattened and broadly channeled above, 
rounded beneath, sparsely pubescent above, densely sordid-strigose beneath, 1.5 to 
2 em. long; rachis subterete or obscurely flattened above, puberulous and strigose, 
7 to 17 mm. long; leaficts 3 or rarely and abnormally 4, the two lower opposite or sub- 
opposite, 4 to 11 cm. long, 2.5 to 4.5 cm. wide, oval or oblong-elliptic, rarely ovate, 
usually acute or short-pointed, rounded and unequal at base, subpapyraceous, entire, 
puberulous along the impressed costa above, otherwise glabrous, beneath finely 
puberulous and sparsely strigose or hispid along the costa and chief veins, otherwise 
glabrous or subglabrous, the 9 to 13 pairs of primary veins obscure above, ascending, 
prominulous beneath, the secondaries reticulate and prominulous on both sides; 
petiolules 2.5 to 7 mm. long, finely puberulous and sparsely hispid or strigose; term1- 
nal leaflet similar but considerably larger, 7.5 to 15 cm. long, 4 to 7.2 cm. wide, on a 
petiolule 2 to 7 mm. long; peduncles axillary, strigillose and strigose, 3 to 7 mm. long, 
or almost none; panicles pyramidal, usually trifid, 1.2 to 3.5 cm. long, | to 3 cm. wide, 
hispid and strigose, rather few-flowered; pedicels 2 to 3.5 mm. long; calyx saucer- 
shaped, strigose, obscurely 4-denticulate, 1.2 mm. long; corolla 4-parted to the base, 
4.5 to 5.5 mm. long, sparsely strigillose, the petals oblong-oval, imbricate in aestiva- 
tion; androecium shorter than corolla, ihe filaments connate to middle in a glabrous 
tube, the free portions densely hispid-pilose inside and on margin; stamens 10; anthers 
short,pilose; disk prominent, fleshy, lobulate, pilose; ovary densely hispid-pilose; 
style densely hispid-pilose, twice as long as ovary; stigma subcapitate; fruit globose- 
ovoid, mucronulate, densely hispid-strigose with dull hairs, 5 to 6 mm. long, 3-valved, 
l1-seeded. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 537,441, collected in the vicinity of 
Estrella, Cafio Papayal, Lands of Loba, Department of Bolfvar, Colombia, in April 
or May, 1916, by H. M. Curran (no, 299). Also collected in fruit by Mr. Curran in 
the same vicinity (no. 315), 
Trichilia triphylla is a member of the section Eutrichilia and most nearly related to 
T. goudotiana Triana & Planch., also a Colombian species. ['rom that species, as 
described, it differs in its pubescent petioles and sparsely pubescent leaves, its much 
larger flowers, and its densely pubescent style.
