Additional material shows that the two species described by 
me can scarcely be maintained as distinct, and further that the 
species belongs in Cleidion rather than in Mallotus, although the 
connectives are scarcely produced. The leaves are eglandular, 
the staminate inflorescences are simply spicate, while the cap- 
sules are glabrous, unarmed, and eglandular. The plant is 
monoecious, the pistillate inflorescences being racemose, few- 
flowered (sometimes only 1-flowered) and 4 to 12 cm long. 
The capsules are composed of 3, dehiscent, glabrous cocci, and 
are about 8 mm in diameter. Seeds mottled.

A tree up to 20 m high, glabrous except the inflorescences. 
Leaves subcoriaceous, oblong-ovate, rather pale when dry, 5 to 
10 cm long, 2 to 3 em wide, subequally narrowed to the acute 
or somewhat decurrent base and to the distinctly acuminate 
apex; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, slender, 
distinct, projecting on both surfaces, the reticulations rather 
distinct; petioles 1.5 to 2.5 cm long. Panicles terminal, pubes- 
cent, 4 to 9 em long. Flowers white, 4-merous. Sepals oblong- 
ovate to oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, glabrous, about 2.5 mm long. 
Petals elliptic to oblong-elliptic, obtuse, 3.5 mm long, prominently 
8-costate in the lower half, the costae confluent below, attenuate 
in the upper half and not reaching the margins and with two 
lateral, slender nerves which are not thickened into distinct 
ridges in the lower part. Disk thick, 4-lobed, wider than the
