4. Santiria pubkrula, a. W. Benn. in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 

 537. A tree 30 to 60 feet high : young branches slender, pale gray, at 

 first puberulous afterwards glabrous. Leaves 8 to 10 in. long, the raclii- 

 ses glabrescent or glabrous, terete, flattened on the upper surface just 

 above the base. Leaflets 5 rarely 7, thinly coriaceous, elliptic to oblong, 

 acute or shortly acuminate, the base slightly caneate ; upper surface 

 quite glabi'ous ; the lower minutely puberulous, reticulate, the 9 to 11 

 pairs of spreading, curving, interarching nerves prominent : length 4 to 

 6 in., breadth 15 to 2*6 in. ; petiolules "4 to "6 in. long, the terminal 

 one 1 to 1'76 in., all swollen at the upper end. Panicles terminal or 

 axillary, shorter than the leaves, minutely tomentose, with a few lax 

 spreading branches bearing rather distant, 6- to 8-flowered, sub-sessile 

 cymules. Flowers about "06 in. long, the pedicels about as long, unequal, 

 stout, tomentose. Calyx cupular ; with 3, deltoid, acute teeth, tomen- 

 tose outside. Petals valvate, ovate-rotund, concave, with a slight 

 inflected point at the apex, glabrous, much longer than the calyx. 

 Stamens 6 ; filaments longer than the ovate anthers, inserted on. the 

 edge of the crenulate fleshy disc : ovary ovoid, glabrous. Ripe drupes 

 naiTOwlj' ellipsoid, straight on one side, curved on the other, obscurely 

 3- or 4-angled, glabrous, the scar of the stigma terminal ; length "76 in., 

 diam. -35 in. Engler in DC. Mon. Phan. IV, 161.

This comes very near to S. fasciculata, A. W. Benn., and I much 

 doubt its being really distinct from that species. ^ 



6. Santiria macrocarpa, King n. sp. A glabrous tree, 40 to 70 feet 

 high : young branches with brown lenticellate bark. Leaves 5 to 9 in. 

 long, the rachis slig>itly flattened on the upper surface near the base. 

 Leaflets thinly coriaceous, oblong-elliptic to obovate or sub-rotund, very 

 shortly and bluntly apiculate ; the base cuneate, rarely rounded ; main 

 nerves 7 or 8 paix's, spreading, slightly curved, interarching boldly, slight- 

 ly depressed on the upper surface ( when dry) and sub-prominent on 

 the lower ; length 3 to 475 in., breadth 2 to 275 in. ; petiolules *36 to 

 •5 in., the terminal one 1 in. or more. Panicles axillary, solitary, shorter 

 than the leaves, with distant lateral branchlets '5 to 1 in. long and bearing 

 at their apices 2- to 6-flowered bracteolate cymules. Flowers '2 to "25 in. 

 long. Galyx thick, deeply cupular or sub-campanulate, with 3 bold 

 triangular lobes, glabrescent. Petals twice as long as the calyx, fleshy,
