//? Rourea microcarpa Elm. n. sp. 
A woody tree trunk climber; stem terete, 1.75 em thick, 
7 m high, occasionally twining, repeatedly branched toward 
the top; twigs relatively short and wiry, glabrous. Leaves 
alternate, greatly varying in size, imparipinnate, the smaller 
ones 8 and the larger ones 5-pinnate, glabrous, subcharta- 
ceous, only the acute tips recurved, otherwise horizontally 
spreading, slightly paler beneath, curing brown on both sur- 
faces, base obtuse or obtusely rounded, the terminal leaflets 
usually a trifle larger, entire, elliptically oblong or the smaller 
ones more ovately oblong, the lateral pairs subopposite, the 
average leaflet is 9 cm long and 4 cm wide at the middle; 
petiole proper varying from 1 to 5 cm in length, subterete, 
also glabrous, reddish brown when dry; petiolule 5 mm long, 
flattish and channelled along the upper side; midrib prom- 
inent and lighter brown beneath, with 3 to 5 pairs of 
ascendingly curved lateral nerves, reticulations quite evident 
from both sides. Infrutescence erect, solitary or in small 
clusters from the leaf axils or subterminal, 3 to 8 cm long; 
peduncle glabrous, branched from near the base, subtended 
by caducous bracts, more or less angular or compressed in 
the dry state; pedicel strict, slender, 8 mm long, thicken- 
ed toward the distal end, terete, glabrous, subtended by ca- 
ducous bract vestiges; calyx cup shaped, green, 5 mm high 
and nearly as thick; the 5 nearly equal segments broadly 
obtuse or rounded, rigid, strongly imbricate, the basal one 
third united, the distal margin subhyaline, the outer ones 
ovately elliptic, the inner broadly elliptic; fruits 1-seeded, 
darker green than the calyx, terete, 7 mm long, 5 mm thick,
