ICACINACEAE 
GOMPHANDRA HAINANENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor parva, ramulis junioribus exceptis glabra; 
ramis teretibus, cinereis, in siccitate rugosis, 2 ad 3 mm dia- 
metro, glabris, ramulis adpresse subferrugineo-pubescentibus ; 
foliis glaberrimis, membranaceis vel subchartaceis, anguste 
oblongis, olivaceis, nitidis, 9 ad 14 cm longis, 2 ad 3 cm latis, 
obtuse acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque 5 ad 8, valde 
distantibus, supra subobsoletis, subtus distinctis, arcuato-anasto- 
mosantibus, reticulis laxis; petiolo 1 cm longo; fructibus oblongo- 
ellipsoideis, obtusis, leviter inaequilateralibus, circiter 13 mm 
longis et 7 mm diametro, pedicellatis, pedicellis 3 mm longis. 
Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8546, December 20, 1921. On forested 
slopes, altitude about 700 meters. 
This is apparently most closely allied to Gomphandra cam- 
bodiana Pierre, from which it differs in its entirely glabrous 
leaves and its conspicuously arched marginal nerves. 
GONOCARYUM MACLUREI sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, glabra, ramulis tenuibus, olivaceis, 2 mm dia- 
metro; foliis coriaceis, oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, olivaceis, 
nitidis, 7 ad 10 cm longis, 3 ad 4.5 em latis, brevissime obtuse 
acuminatis vel obtusis, basi obtusis ad late acutis, nervis utrinque 
5 vel 6, distantibus, tenuibus, obscure arcuato-anastomosantibus, 
reticulis obscuris; petiolo circiter 1 cm longo; fructibus ellip- 
soideis vel oblongo-ellipsoideis, laevis, nitidis, in siccitate nigris, 
3 ad 4 cm longis, 1.8 ad 2.4 cm diametro, apice leviter depressis 
apiculatisque. 
Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8606, December 16, 1921. On partly 
forested slopes, altitude 700 meters. | 
The first representative of the genus to be found in China, its 
alliance being with Gonocaryum subrostratum Pierre and more 
especially with G. harmandianum Pierre, from both of which it 
is distinguished by its smaller, differently shaped leaves.

ramulis ultimis 7 mm diametro; foliis pinnatis, circiter 25 cm 
longis, foliolis circiter 19, lanceolatis, integris, coriaceis, 5 ad 8 
em longis, 1.5 ad 2 cm latis, utrinque subaequaliter angustatis, 
acute acuminatis, basi acutis, leviter inaequilateralibus, supra 
pallide olivaceis, nitidis, subtus pallidioribus, nervis utrinque 8 
ad 10, obscuris, arcuato-anastomosantibus, petiolulis 5 ad 7 mm
