mm long, puberulent, the limb flabellate, 7 to 8 mm wide, broadly 

 rounded, base much narrowed, the claw about 6 mm long, pubes- 

 cent below ; inferior petal, when present, linear-spatulate, up to 

 7 mm in length. Stamens 9, the upper two sterile, very slender, 

 2 to 3 mm long, the lower seven much elongated, somewnat 

 ciliate near the base, about 6 cm long. Ovary shortly stipitate, 

 oblong, compressed, including the strongly incurved or involute 

 style about 2 mm long, pubescent along one side, the stipe short, 

 pubescent. 



Sarawak, Baram District, Baram, Hose 93, March, 1895. 



The first representative of the genus known from Borneo, in appearance 

 resembling Pahudia javanica Miq. and P. rhomboidea Prain. It differs 

 from both in its fewer leaflets which are prominently and slenderly acute- 

 acuminate, not blunt-acuminate or retuse, but especially from the above two 

 forms and the other known representatives of the genus in its very short 

 style, which is at most 1 mm in length.

Sarawak, Baram District, Hose 523, 691, January and April, 1895. 



Previously known only from Palawan. The Sarawak specimens very 

 closely match the type.

This specimen certainly represents the same species as our Palawan 

 material. It is characterized by its trifoliolate leaves, belongs in the section 

 Amerimnon, Endespermum, and is allied to Dalbergia densa Benth. 



DALBERGIA SIMPLICIFOLIA sp. nov. § Amerimnon, Endespermum. 



Species praecedente similis et valde affinis, differt foliis om- 

 nibus 1-foliolatis inflorescentiis multo brevioribus. 



Apparently scandent, glabrous except the young branchlets 

 and the inflorescence. Branches terete, rugose when dry, lenti- 

 cellate, brown in color. Leaves all simple, elliptic to oblong- 

 elliptic, 7 to 13 cm long, 3.5 to 7 cm wide, castaneous and shining 

 when dry, base rounded, apex rather prominently blunt-acumi- 

 nate, the lower surface slightly pubescent along the midrib when
