Hydnocarpus quadrasii Elm. n. sp. 
A stunted tree; stem 5 m. high, nearly 2 dm. thick; the main 
branches arising from the middle, crooked, freely rebranched; 
wood moderately hard and heavy, odorless, a trifle sweet, yellow- 
ish or sappy white; bark grayish white mottled, smooth on the 
branches, thinly checked on the stem, reddish beneath the epider- 
mis; twigs very numerous, relatively short, subolivaceus tomen- 
tose when young, soon glabrate. Leaves chartaceous, copious, 
descending or the younger ones ascending, alternate, diverse in 
size, only the young ones sparsely and minutely strigose on both 
sides, glabrate when old, apex acuminate to subeaudate, base 
obtuse or obtusely rounded, the larger lamina 1 dm. long and 
nearly 4 em. wide but most of them somewhat smaller, entire, the 
young ones curing unequally dark brown, the older ones lighter 
or grayish brown; midvein glabrous and reddish brown, the 6 
pairs of lateral ones much ascending, all rather conspicuous be- 
neath, the cross retieulations very minute and obscure; petiole 
less than 1 cm. long, at first puberulent, ultimately glabrous, 
obscurely grooved. The odorless flowers caducous, axillary; 
peduncle thick, 5 mm. long, solitary, suberect, short but densely 
fulvus tomentose, mostly terminated into very short branches or 
triads; pedicel 4 mm. long, rather thick for its length, fulvus 
felty, subtended by minute similarly puberulent hairs; buds 
flatly globose, 3 mm. across; calyx fulvus puberulent on the outer -
