Dysoxylum pyriforme Merrill sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ramnlis foliisque plus minus dense hirsutis; foliis alter- 
nis, ca. 60 cm longis, lO-jugatis; racemis caulinibus, 2 ad 4 cm longis, 
pauce hirsutis; floribus 4-meris; fructibus anguste pyriformibus dense 
brunnco-lepidotis, ca. 2 cm longis. 
A small tree, the branches stout, gray or brownish, the branchlets gray, 
lepidote, the ultimate tips densely hirsute. Leaves alternate, about 60 
cm long, 10-jugate, odd pinnate, the petiole and rachis densely hir- 
sute; leaflets opposite, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, 6 to 14 cm long, 
2 to 3.5 cm wide, submembranous, apex acuminate or rarely acute, base

face, beneath pale and densely hirsute; nerves 12 to 15 on each side of 
the midrib, rather distinct; petiolules about 1 mm long. Racemes on 
the larger branches and trunk, solitary or tAvo or three from the same 
protuberance, 2 to 4 cm long, few flowered, slightly hirsute, the pedicels 
slender, about 3 mm long. Calyx ellipsoid, about 5 mm long, constricted

Juno, 1907. 
A species allied to Dysoxylum cumingianum C. DC, readily distinguished 
however by its many-jugate leaves, racemose inflorescence and quite different 
fruits.

longis, sepalis S, extus dense cinoreo-})nboscentibus, petalis 8, integris; 
antlieris urlstatis; ovario 2-loculari. 
A tree about 23 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence, the branches
