 slightly e'Lserted. Ovary broadly ovoid, sericeous like the slightly com- 

 pressed style ; stigma small, cyliudric, with the upper surface lobed. Fruit

11. Chisocheton macrothyrsus. King, n. gp. A tree 20 to 40 feet 

 high. Leaves about 2 feet long, the petiole terete, the rachis 4-angled, 

 glabrous ; leaflets 2 to 4 pairs, thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, mi- 

 nutely acuminate, the base cuueate, both surfaces glabrous ; main neiwes 

 10 to 14 pairs, prominent beneath ; length 35 to 9 in., breadth 1'5 to 

 3"5 in., petiolules '25 to "5 in. Panicles longer than the leaves, angled, 

 glabrous ; the branches distant, the lower again bi-anched, the ultimate 

 branchh'ts everywhere cjraose. Floivers '5 in. long, on very short pubes- 

 cent pedicels. Calyx tubular, about '1 in. long, truncate or waved, 

 pubescent. Petals 5, five times ms long as the calyx, elliptic, thickened 

 and concave at the apex, minutely tomentose outside, glaberalous inside, 

 Staminal tube shorter than and free from the petals, its apex truncate, 

 with about 14 broad shallow teeth, sericeous on hoth. surfaces except to- 

 wards the apex ; anthers 7 or 8, rather small, included, attached some way 

 below the mouth. Ovary ovoid-conic, sericeous like the tapering style ;

I have seen only a single specimen in which the fruit appi'oaches 

 maturity. The majority of the fruiting specimens are in a young stage, 

 and the young fruits are deeply rugose and furrowed and have a small 

 apical beak. None of the specimens 1 ha\e seen have their leaves 

 intact, and it is possible they may have more leaflets than I have des- 

 cribed above. 



12. Chisocheton laxiflorus, King, n. sp. A tx^ee 20 to 40 feet high. 

 Leaves 1 to 2 feet long, glabrous ; leaflets 4 or 6 pairs, opposite, thinly 

 coriaceous, elliptic to elliptic-oblong, cuspidate, slightly narrowed at the 

 base, both sui'faces minutely reticulate ; main nerves 10 to 15 pairs, 

 curved, ascending, depressed above and prominent beneath when dry ; 

 length 5 to 9 in., breadth 1'75 to 3 in., petiolules "2 in. Panicles soli- 

 tary, extra- axillary, slender, with a few primary branches ; the secoK 

 dary branches short, few-flowered, the flowei's usually in distant piiiis 

 sessile, "4 or '5 in. long. Calyx puberulous outside, less than '1 in. long,
