Arbor parva (4 m alta fide McClure), partibus junioribus 
leviter hirsutis; ramis teretibus, glabris, rubro-brunneis, circiter 
3 mm diametro, parcissime lenticellatis, ramulis leviter hirsutis; 
foliis pinnatis, 25 ad 35 cm longis, foliolis 9, membranaceis, 
oblongo-lanceolatis, tenuiter obtuse acuminatis, basi acutis, 
superioribus 11 ad 15 cm longis, 2.5 ad 4 cm latis, inferioribus 
brevioribus, nervis utrinque 9 ad 15, patulis, curvatis, distinctis, 
anastomosantibus, reticulis laxis, obscuris, supra olivaceis, sub- 
glabris, vel ad costa pubescentibus, subtus perspicue atro-glan- 
dulosis, ad costa leviter hirsutis, petiolulis circiter 3 mm longis; 
cymis terminalibus, circiter 7 cm longis et latis, trichotomis, 
leviter hirsutis; coccis plerumque 4, obovoideis, 5 mm longis, 
brevissime apiculatis, leviter rugosis, obscure glandulosis. 
Neg Chi Leng, McClure 8449, December 7, 1921. On slopes, 
altitude about 1,000 meters, known to the Lois as ngau tau shue. 
A species belonging in the group with Evodia rutaecarpa

narrower, nearly glabrous leaflets, and its short inflorescences. 
EUPHORBIACEAE 
BREYNIA ROSTRATA sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor parva, glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus, 
laevis, in siccitate atro-brunneis; foliis chartaceis vel subcoria- 
ceis, rigidis, oblongo-ovatis, 2 ad 3 cm longis, 1 ad 1.5 cm latis, 
basi acutis ad obtusis, apice acuminatis, in siccitate atro-oliva- 
ceis, utrinque concoloribus vel subtus leviter pallidioribus, nervis 
utrinque 4 vel 5, tenuibus, arcuato-anastomosantibus, obscuris, 
supra plerumque leviter impressis, secondariis obsoletis; petiolo 
circiter 2 mm longo; stipulis lanceolatis, acuminatis, petiolo 
subaequantibus; calycis circiter 6 mm diametro, sepalis majori- 
bus orbiculari-ovatis, minoribus leviter anguste ovatis, leviter 
accrescentibus, sub fructu reflexis; fructibus globosis, glabris, 
laevis, circiter 7 mm diametro, perspicue rostratis. 
Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8516, December 22, 1921. In forested 
ravines, altitude 900 meters. 
A species much resembling Breynia fruticosa Hook. f. in its 
general appearance, distinguished however by its very strongly 
reflexed calyx segments and its prominently rostrate fruits, the 
stout rostrum about 2 mm long, formed by the persistent styles.
