Sarawak, Native collector 1385 (Bur. Sci.). 



A species very readily distinguished from all described forms by its very 

 slender, much-elongated pedicels, which vary in length from 2 to 3 cm. It is 

 not closely allied to the only other known Bornean species, Crudia havilandii 

 Prain. A third species is represented by Native collector 688 (Bur. Sci.), 

 but the material available is hardly sufficient to warrant describing it at 

 this time. 



PELTOPHORUM Walpers 



PELTOPHORUM RACEMOSUM sp. nov. 



Arbor, ramulis petiolis inflorescentiisque ferrugineo-pubescen- 

 tibus; foliis circiter 25 cm longis, circiter 5-jugatis; foliolis 

 oblongo-ellipticis, coriaceis late rotundatis apiculatisque, basi 

 subacutis, aequilateralibus vel leviter inaequilateralibus, circiter 

 10-jugatis, usque ad 3 cm longis ; inflorescentiis axillaribus, soli- 

 tariis, racemosis, quam foliis brevioribus, floribus circiter 2.5 

 cm diametro. 



A tree, the younger branchlets, petioles, and inflorescences 

 prominently ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves about 25 cm long, 

 bipinnate, the pinnae usually 5 pairs, 8 to 12 cm long, their 

 rachises ferruginous-pubescent. Leaflets oblong-elliptic, coria- 

 ceous, equilateral or nearly so, 2 to 3 cm long, 8 to 12 mm wide, 

 apex broadly rounded, minutely apiculate, base subacute, mar- 

 gins usually revolute, the upper surface dark-brown and shining 

 when dry, the lower paler, uniformly and rather densely pube- 

 scent with short subferruginous hairs. Inflorescence racemose, 

 the racemes axillary, solitary, about 14 cm long, ferruginous- 

 pubescent. Pedicels slender, about 1 cm long. Calyx densely 

 ferruginous-pubescent, the tube very short, nearly flat, 4 to 5 

 mm in diameter, the lobes oblong, rounded, about 1 cm long. 

 Petals obovate, much wrinkled, rounded, pubescent on the back, 

 about 1.5 cm long. Stamens about 1 cm long, the filaments much 

 thickened and densely villous at the base, glabrous above ; anthers 

 versatile, oblong, 4 mm in length. Ovary and style pubescent.

Distinguished from all the oriental species of the genus by its racemose 

 inflorescence, few pinnae, comparatively few, relatively rather large, and 

 nearly equilateral leaflets.
