nodes, the pedicles 1 to 2 mm long. Calyx cup-shaped, reddish- 
brown when dry, glabrous or nearly so, about 3 mm long, even- 
tually split nearly to the base into three, broadly ovate, obtuse 
segments. Petals 4, oblong, about 8 mm long, 3 mm wide, densely 
gray-puberulent externally, obtuse, imbricate, quite free from 
the staminal-tube. Staminal-tube 6 to 7 mm long, cylindric or 
narrowly ovoid-cylindric, slightly puberulent, the apex with 8, 
very short, slightly retuse teeth. Stamens 8, the anthers sessile, 
included, inserted opposite the teeth, oblong-elliptic, about 1 mm 
long. Disk free, cup-shaped, 2 mm high, slightly pubescent, 
truncate or very minutely toothed. Ovary ovoid, 1.5 mm long, 
4-ceIled, somewhat pubescent or puberulent, narrowed upward 
into the stout, slightly puberulent, 4 mm long style; stigma 
depressed-globose, about 1 mm in diameter.

Apparently belonging in the group with Dysoxylum arborescens Miq., as 
the species are arranged by C. DeCandolle; it is, however, very different 
from this species and the allied forms, as described. The minutely and 
densely verruculose leaves is characteristic.

Arbor circiter 20 m alta, glabra vel subglabra ; foliis alternis, 
usque ad 20 cm longis, foliolis 3 vel 5, chartaceis, oblongo- 
ellipticis, utrinque angustatis, apice obtuse acuminatis, basi acutis 
vel decurrento-acuminatis, majoribus 12 cm longis ; inflorescentiia 
brevissimis, axillaribus, solitariis, pedunculatis, circiter 1 cm

A tree about 20 m high, nearly glabrous. Branches terete, 
gray, wrinkled when dry, the growing tips somewhat pubescent. 
Leaves alternate, up to 20 cm long, glabrous, usually 5-foliolate, 
with some 3-foliolate ones, or more rarely reduced to 2 or 1 
leaflets; leaflets opposite, chartaceous, glabrous, pale-greenish 
when dry, slightly shining and of nearly the same color on both 
surfaces, oblong-elliptic, the lower ones smaller than the upper, 6 
to 12 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, about equally narrowed at both 
ends, the apex prominently acuminate, the acumen usually blunt, 
the base acute or somewhat decurrent-acuminate ; lateral nerves 
of the larger leaflets about 6 on each side of the midrib, slender, 
prominent, arched-anastomosing, the reticulations very lax; 
petiolules about 5 mm long, that of the terminal leaflet twice 
BB long as the lateral ones. Inflorescence very short, about 1
