Dysoxylum pauciflorum, sp. nov. 



A small or medium sized tree with alternate evenly pinnate 4 to 5 jugate 

 leaves 20 to 30 cm. long, axillary lax, few flowered panicles 10 to 15 cm. 

 long, appearing with the leaves, gamosepalus calyx and pubescent corolla. 

 Branches light brown, densely pubescent. Leaves alternate, the petiole 

 and rhachis slender, densely pubescent, 15 to 20 cm. long, the petiole proper 

 2.5 to 3.5 cm. long; leaflets opposite, membranous, oblong, the upper ones 

 gradually larger, 9 to 24 cm. long, 2 to 5 cm. wide, the apex abruptly 

 acuminate, the base acute, often slightly inequilateral, the midrib above 

 and beneath densely softly pubescent, the lower surface more or less pubes- 

 cent with soft hairs; nerves about 12 pairs, spreading, freely anastomosing; 

 petiolules densely pubescent, 1 to 2 mm, long. Panicles simple, slender, 

 the rhachis and branches densely pubescent, the latter scattered, few, almost 

 filiform, spreading, 2 to 4 cm. long, each with but from 1 to 5 flowers, 

 the pedicels about 5 mm. long. Calyx cup-shaped, about 3 mm. long, pubes- 

 cent, coarsely 4-toothed. Corolla 15 mm. long, more or less united with 

 the staminal tube below, the outside nearly glabrous below, densely pubes- 

 cent above. Staminal tube cylindrical, glabrous oiitside, hirsute on the 

 lower part within, irregularly toothed. Stamens 8, 1.5 mm. long. Disk 

 cylindrical glabrous, 2.5 to 3 mm, long. Style equaling the staminal tube, 

 glabrous above, densely hirsute below. Fruit subglobose. apiculate red 

 when mature, slightly pubescent, about 2 cm. in diameter.

 leaves, the panicles short, few flowered, in the leaf axils on the younger 

 branchlets. Branches light brown, lenticellate, ferruginous pubescent or 

 puberulent. Leaves 18 to 25 cm. long, unequally pinnate, the leaflets 

 opposite, the rhachis with petiole, 10 to 15 cm. long, glabrous or nearly
