SIDEROXYLON Linn. 
Sideroxylon stenophyllum sp. nov. 
Arboi' glabra^ ca. 25 m alta; foliis anguste obloiigo-laiiceolatis, basi 
apice<|ue acuminatis^ subcoriaceis, nitidis, usque ad 11 cm longls, 1.5 
ad 2.5 cm latis; norvip utrinque 8 vel D^ prominentibus ; fructibus ovoidcis, 
glabris^ ea. 5 cm longis; semiuibus nitidis, 3.2 em longis. 
A tree about 25 m higli, the branches terete, gray, glabrous, the 
terminal buds slightly pubescent. Leases narrowly oblong-lanceolate, 
subeoriaceous, shining, glabrous, 7 to 11 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, 
the apex acuminate, the acumen blunt, the base decurrent-acuminate ; 
nerves 8 or 9 on each side of the midrib, promhient, the reticulations 
obscure; petioles slender, 1 to 2 cm long. Fruit ovoid, glabrous, 5 cm 
long, apparently somewhat fleshy when fresh, but the pericarp brittle 
when dry, gray, shining, 5-celled, usually with but two matured seeds

but very different from that species.
