up to 1.5 cm long; lateral nerves rather distinct on the lower 
surface, 7 to 11 on each side of the midrib, somewhat confused 
with the secondary nerves, the reticulations distinct; petiolules 
6 to 15 mm long. Panicles terminal, the rachis slender, about 
3 cm long, the branches alternate, racemosely arranged, rather 
few, the lower ones up to 12 cm long. Fruits umbellately ar- 
ranged, subglobose, about 3 mm in diameter, more or less sulcate, 
nearly black when dry, 4-celled, the pedicels slender, 4 to 5 mm 
long, the umbels racemosely disposed on the primary branches, 
scattered, their peduncles slender, 1 to 1.5 cm long.

ritt, December 22, 1908, in hardwood forests, altitude about 1,500 meters.

SCHEFFLERA MAGREGORII sp. nov. § Kuschefflera, Heptapleurum. 
Arbor circiter 10 m alta, glabra; foliis palmatim 5- vel 6-folio- 
latis, foliolis crasse coriaceis, integris, acuminatis, basi acutis, 
oblongis, usque ad 10 cm longis, nervis lateralibus obscuris, 
utrinque circiter 10; paniculis terminalibus, glabris, pyramida- 
tis, circiter 20 cm longis, ramulis primariis racemosis; floribus 
5-meris, umbellatis, umbellis in ramulis primariis racemose dis- 
positis; fructibus subglobosis, circiter 3 mm diametro, vix sul- 
catis, 5-locellatis. 
A tree about 10 m high, entirely glabrous. Branches terete, 
grayish-brown, the ultimate ones about 5 mm in diameter. 
Leaves palmately 5- or 6-foliolate, the petioles dark reddish- 
brown when dry, about 10 cm long; base dilated and somewhat 
clasping the stem; leaflets oblong, thickly coriaceous, 8 to 10 
cm long, 3 to 4 cm wide, pale-olivaceous and shining when dry, 
of the same color on both surfaces, entire, base acute, apex 
rather prominently acuminate, acumen rather stout, straight or 
curved, blunt; primary lateral nerves about 10 on each side of 
the midrib, slender, not prominent, scarcely more distinct than 
the secondary nerves; petiolules 1.5 to 3 cm long. Panicles 
terminal, pyramidal, about 20 cm long, the branches few, alter- 
nate, spreading, the lower ones up to 10 cm long. Flowers 
5-merous, the umbels usually with from 4 to 6 flowers, race- 
mosely disposed on the primary branches, alternate, their pedun- 
cles 5 to 6 mm long, the pedicels about 3 mm long. Fruit 
blackish when mature, globose, about 3 mm in diameter, when 
dry scarcely or obscurely sulcate, 5-celled, 1- to 3-seeded.
