I am not satisfied, that two closely allied species are not united 

 under the above, as there is some difference in the number of main 

 nerves in the leaflets, those in the specimens of King's Collector, No. 8462, 

 being rather less numerous than in the other gatherings. 



8. Chisocheton erythrocarpus, Hiern in Hook. fil. PI. Br, Ind. 

 I, 560. A tree; young branches rather stout, densely and minutely rusty- 

 tomentose. Leaves equally pinnate, 12 to 15 in. long ; leaflets 4 to 6 

 pairs, opposite, coriaceous, elliptic-oblong to broadly ovate, shortly 

 abruptly and bluntly acuminate, cuneate or rounded at the slisrhtly 

 oblique base ; upper surface glabrous except the puberulous midrib ; 

 lower softly and shortly rusty-pabescent ; main nerves 6 or 7 pairs, as- 

 cending, curving ; length 25 to 5'5 in., breadth 1-35 to 2 in., petiolules 

 2 in. Panicles clustered towards ihe ends of the branches, extra- 

 axillary, about half as long as tlie leaves, minutely rusty-tomentose ; 

 their lateral branches short, horizontal, cyraose. Flowers "45 in. long, 

 their pedicels shorter. Calyx cylindric, the mouth truncate, sometimes 

 minutely toothed, densely tomentose. Petals 6, longer than the calyx, 

 fleshy, narrowly elliptic, blunt, adpressed-sericeous outside, glabrous 

 inside. Staminal-tuhe shorter than the petals and pistil, outside serice- 

 ous below and glabrous above, inside villous, with 5 or 6 rather deep 

 blunt emarginate teeth ; antliers 5 or 6, included, elongate. Ovary 

 narrow, pubescent ; style tapering ; stigma cylindric, with glabrous cen-

 in. long, the petioles and rachises 4-angled, pubescent ; leaflets 4 to 7 

 pairs, membraneous, oblong or elliptic-oblong, shortly and abruptly acu- 

 minate, the base cuneate, both surfaces with very minute pubescence • 

 main nerves 12 to 14 pairs, oblique, rather prominent bereath ; length 

 about 9 in., breadth 3 to 3-5 in., petiolules '25 in. Panicles solitary, supra- 

 axillary, puberulous, about as long as the leaves, with scanty spike-like 

 few-flowered branches which become shorter upwards. Flower-buds clav- 

 ate, -5 to '6 in. long, contracted into a pseudo-stalk at the base, their true 

 pedicels "25 in. long. Galyx campanulate, rusty-fomentose outside, 

 completely enveloping the petals in bud, with a thickened wavy band
