very hard, white but brownish toward the center, slightly 
odorous, tasteless; bark smooth or scaling in thin plates, 
yellowish on the surface, otherwise testaceus; main branches 
rather long, crooked, sparingly rebranched, the ultimate ones 
relatively short, terete, the young tips short scurfy brown 
and lenticelled. Leaves alternate and mostly toward the ends 
of the branchlets, 2 to 4 dm long, horizontal; petiole 6 to 
10 cm long, terete and striate, short scurfy brown, green- 
ish but avellaneus when dry, thickened at the base and 
leaving large circular scars after falling; stipule prong-like, 
5 to 8 mm long, usually recurved around the stem, scurfy 
brown and obscurely striate; rachis similar to the petiole 
proper, extended beyond the upper pair of leaflets; lateral 
petiolules 1 cm long or less, ridged beneath and caniculate 
above, umber furfuraceous; leaflets 5 to 7-foliate, imparipin- 
nate, terminal leaflet a trifle larger, basal pair smallest, el- 
liptically elongated, chartaceous, descending, the sharply 
acute apex recurved, a little inequilateral toward the broadly 
rounded base, the average ones 15 cm long by 6 cm wide 
across the middle or a trifle below it, margins entire and 
subinvolute in the dry state at least, nearly flat and sub- 
glabrous on the upper side when old except along the midrib 
and nerves, beneath paler green and subvelutinous, curing 
light umbrinus beneath and grayish above; midrib yellowish 
when fresh, pronounced beneath and deeply grooved along the 
upper side, densely umber tomentose on both sides; lateral 
nerves yellowish when fresh, 12 to 15 pairs, divaricate but 
gradually ascendingly curved toward their distal ends, also 
prominent beneath and similarly tomentose on both sides, 
cross bars and fine reticulations very evident beneath, less so 
on the upper side. Flower not seen. Infrutescence suberect, 
mostly lateral and solitary from the axils of the leaf scars, 5 
to 15 cm long, only sparingly short branched; stalks thick, 
ligneous, glabrate when old, gray when dry, angular along the 
fruit bearing portion; fruits alternatingly scattered or oc- 
casionally in subwhorls, ellipsoid, 1.5 cm long, dark green, 
glabrous, smooth and hard, drying greenish gray and becoming 
! much wrinkled; calyx persistent, 5 mm long and 8 mm across 
2s the 3 thickened segments, the basal one half triangularly 
constricted, short fulvus tomentose in the early state at least;
