about 9 mm long, 2.5 to 3 mm wide, glabrous externally or very 
minutely puberulent near the apex, inside in the upper part 
densely and minutely puberulent, quite free from the staminal- 
tube. Staminal-tube cylindric, 7 to 8 mm long, cylindric, glab- 
rous externally, inside prominently hirsute with long white hairs, 
apex minutely toothed. Stamens 8 or 10, included, sessile, 1.1 
mm long. Disk cylindric, 2 mm high, very densely hirsute. 
Ovary narrowly ovoid, glabrous, 4-celled, narrowed upward into 
the 4 to 5 mm long style.

Following DeCandolle's arrangement of the species this form falls close 
to the Malayan Dysoxylum costulatum Miq,, and D. nagelianum C. DC. It 
is, however, very different from all the species of the section Eudysoxylum 
with free staminal-tubes and glabrous ovaries.

A tree 15 to 20 m high, nearly glabrous, or the younger parts 
slightly pubescent, the flowers prominently so. Leaves appar- 
ently alternate, up to 60 cm in length, glabrous or nearly so, 
with 6 or 7 pair of opposite leaflets; leaflets membranaceous to 
chartaceous, oblong-elliptic, 15 to 25 cm long, 7 to 12 cm wide, 
apex very shortly and obtusely acuminate, base more or less 
inequilateral, somewhat obliquely rounded, very obscurely cor- 
date; petiolules 4 mm long or less; lateral nerves 15 to 18 on 
each side of the midrib, prominent. Inflorescence from the trunk 
and larger branches, usually fascicled, of very short, few-flowered 
racemes, the rachis of the racemes less than 1 cm long. Flowers 
white, fragrant, 4-merous, their pedicels 7 to 8 mm long. Calyx 
broadly cylindric or slightly enlarged upward, about 10 mm long, 
glabrous or with scattered hairs, densely puncticulate, with 4, 
irregular, oblong to broadly ovate, obtuse, 2 to 3 mm long lobes. 
Petals 4, strap-shaped, 2.5 cm long, 3 to 4 mm wide, apex 
thickened, acute or obtuse, externally in the upper one-half rather 
densely subferruginous-pubescent with short appressed hairs, 
quite free from the staminal-tube. Staminal-tube cylindric, 
glabrous outside, inside slightly villous, about 2 cm long, 3.5 to
