disposed on the ultimate branchlets, about 8 mm long, their pedi- 

 cels f erruginous-tomentose, about 2 mm long, the bracteoles min- 

 ute, about 0.5 mm long. Calyx 4 mm long, pubescent, the lobes 

 oblong, acute or acuminate, nearly 2 mm long, the upper two 

 connate into a notched or retuse lobe. Standard 9 mm long, the 

 limb orbicular, retuse, 5 to 6 mm in diameter, the claw slender. 

 Wings and keel similar, oblong to oblong-obovate. Ovary pube- 

 scent, narrowly oblong. Young fruit membranaceous, narrowly 

 oblong-obovate to oblong, inequilateral, apex slightly falcate- 

 rounded and apiculate, rather densely appressed-pubescent with 

 pale-ferruginous hairs, when very young about 3 cm long and 

 1 cm wide, apparently much larger at maturity.

A species well characterized by its tomentose inflorescence, its oblong, 

 subequally narrowed leaves, and by the rachis not being produced beyond 

 the lateral leaflets. In the last character this species approaches Spatho- 

 lobus bracteolatus Prain of Perak; however, it is otherwise quite different 

 from Prain's species. 



SPATHOLOBUS AFFINIS sp. nov. 



Species praecedente affinis, differt rhichibus supra foliolis 

 lateralibus distincte productis, petiolo usque ad 15 cm longo, 

 foliolis majoribus, usque ad 9 cm latis, paniculis minus pube- 

 scentibus, calycis lobis superioribus integris, haud retusis. 



Scandent, glabrous except the inflorescence. Leaves 3-folio- 

 late, the petioles about 15 cm long, the rachis produced 1.5 cm 

 above the insertion of the lateral leaflets. Leaflets coriaceous, 

 lateral ones more or less inequilateral, the terminal equilateral, 

 subolivaceous and shining when dry, base acute, apex acuminate, 

 up to 25 cm long and 9 cm wide, the lateral nerves ascending, 

 prominent, 9 or 10 on each side of the midrib; petiolules stout, 

 10 to 12 mm long. Inflorescences tripinnately paniculate, axil- 

 lary, branched from the base, pyramidal, appressed subferrug- 

 inous-pubescent. Flowers about 9 mm long, very similar to 

 those of the preceding species, but the upper lobe of the calyx 

 quite entire.

 about 600 meters. 



Manifestly closely allied to Spatholobus oblongifolius Merr., but distin- 

 guished by its produced leaf rachis, much longer petioles, broader leaflets, 

 and entire, not retuse or notched upper calyx-lobe.
