coriaceous leaves, the lobes rounded; its short racemes with clove-shaped

British North Borneo, Sebatik Island, Villa-mil 52, September 26, 1915, 

 locally known as miamot. 



Previously known only from the Philippines, where it is widely distributed. 

 The specimen is sterile, but is unquestionably identical with the Philippine 

 form. Doctor Foxworthy notes that the wood structures is also identical 

 with the Philippine form. 



CRUOIA Schreber 

 CRUDIA TENUIPES sp. nov. 



Arbor glabra ramis ramulisque tenuibus; foliis plerumque 4- 

 foliolatis, foliolis alternis, ftrme chartaceis, oblongo-ellipticis, 

 prominente acuminatis, basi acutis ad rotundatis, usque ad 10 

 cm longis, nervis primariis utrinque circiter 7, tenuibus ; racemis 

 circiter 6 cm longis, floribus longissime tenuiterque pedicellatis, 

 pedicellis 2 ad 3 cm longis, sepalis reflexis, oblongo-ovatis, 4 

 mm longis, ovario dense ferrugineo-piloso. 



A glabrous tree, the branches and branchlets very slender, 

 terete, brownish, smooth, the ultimate branches less than 1.5 mm 

 in diameter. Leaves alternate, 15 to 18 cm long, the rachis 4 

 to 6 cm long, not produced beyond the last leaflet ; leaflets usually 

 4, alternate, oblong-elliptic, firmly chartaceous, glabrous, 7 to 

 10 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, apex prominently acuminate, the 

 acumen usually about 1 cm long, rather slender, blunt, base 

 acute to rounded, upper surface brownish when dry, the lower 

 faintly glaucous ; primary lateral nerves about 7 on each side of 

 the midrib, slender, anastomosing, scarcely more prominent than 

 are the secondary ones and primary reticulations; petiolules 

 about 3 mm long. Racemes on the ultimate branchlets solitary, 

 opposed to the ultimate leaf, about 6 cm long, the rachis and 

 peduncle slender, the pedicels of the flowers very slender, 2 to 3 

 cm long, each with a minute bracteole, or its scar, at about the 

 lower third or fourth. Calyx-tube nearly 2 mm long, the lobes 

 4, reflexed, glabrous, about 4 mm long, oblong-ovate, obtuse or 

 rounded, reflexed, brown when dry. Ovary oblong-ovoid, about 

 3 mm long, densely ferruginous-pilose, narrowed upward, the 

 style slender, about 7 mm long, pubescent below, glabrous above ;
