fructusque ignoti. — Oahu? — A tree about thirty feet high, entirely gla- 

 brous. The specimens furnish immature sterile flowers. Leaves alter- 

 nate, 3 - 9-foliolate, petioled. Leaflets two to four inches long by seven 

 to twenty lines wide, oblong or oblong-ovafe, obtuse, coriaceous, punc- 

 tate, pinnately veined, entire, equal at the base, and with one or two 

 email (three to nine lines long) foliar bodies arising from just below 

 the lower leaflets, which, were it not for their anomalous position, 

 might be likened to large stipules. Panicles axillary or terminal, 

 cymosely many-flowered, with a very thick and nodose peduncle and 

 axis. Calyx small, less than a line long, four-lobed. Petals only two, 

 oval, valvate in aestivation and remarkably thick, in the bud three or 

 four lines long, probably caducous. Stamens four ; filaments short, sub- 

 ulate ; anthers oblong. (Collected only by Hillebrand.)
