Leaves 6 to 11 in. long', equally pinnate, the petioles angled and channelled 

 in front; leaflets opposite, 2 or 3 rarely 5 pairs, membranous, oblong- 

 lanceolate, shortly and bluntly caudate-acuminate, much narrowed to 

 the base ; main nerves 7 or 8 pairs, curved, qaite obscure on both 

 surfaces, length 2'5 to 45 in. rarely 5 in. ; breadth '75 to I'iS, rarely 

 1"75 ill., petiolules 2 in. Panicles shorter than the leaves, extra-axillary, 

 pedunculate, with a few spreading scantily-flowered brandies in the 

 upper part, or lacemose and branched from the base, 15 to 4 in, long. 

 Flowers •15 in. long, on bvacteolate pedicels as long as or longer than 

 themselves. Calyx cupular, much shorter than the petals, glabrous, with 

 4 (rarely 5) small teeth. Petals 4, slightly unequal, broadly oblong 

 with truncate bases, obtuse, the apex thickened and slightly incurved, 

 glabrous or sub-glabr.)us. Staminal tube shorter than the petals and 

 adherent to their bases, widely cyliudric, glabrous, the mouth with 

 8 broad shallow emarginate teeth ; anthers alternate with the teeth, 

 shortly ovate, sub-exserted. Disc fleshy in the fertile female flowers, 

 slightly longer than the ovary and lobed ; in the fertile male flower 

 shorter and entire. Ovary depressed, pilose ; style cylindric, sparsely 

 pilose below ; stigma in the fertile female broadly discoid, 5-angled, 

 with an annular disc beneath it, in the fertile male cylindric. Fruit 

 depressed-globular, glabrous, "5 in. in diam., crowned by the base of the 

 style, 4-celled, with 3 or 4 shining black seeds.

In habit this resembles D. arborescens, from which, however, it is 

 at once distinguished by its equally pinnate leaves and tetramerous 

 flowers. 



4. Dysoxylum inticrruptum, n. sp. King. A tree 30 to 40 feet 

 high; young branches cinereous-pubescent. Leaves 24 to 30 in. long, 

 equally pinnate ; leaflets ii bout 10 pairs, membranous, sub-opposite or 

 opposite, oblong to elliptic-oblong, shortly and sharply acuminate, the 

 base cuneate ; upper surPace glabrous, the nerves and midrib pubescent ; 

 lower sur'face puberulous, the 18 to 24 pairs of straight sub-ascending 

 main nerves rather prominent and with long sparse hairs ; length 5 to 

 7 in., breadth 2'25 to 2-75 in., petiolules '1 to -2 in. Panicles solitary, 

 slightly supra-axillai-y, with few spreading branches ; the ultimate 

 branchlets very short, distant; the flowers ovoid, densely crowded, ses- 

 sile, 1 in. long. OaZT/a" cupular, pubascent, with 4 or 5 triangular acute 

 spreading teeth. Petals 4, longer than the calyx, erect, valvate, ellip- 

 tic, sub-acute, the sides straight, pubescent outside, puberulous inside. 

 Staminal tube shorter than the petals, cylindric, glabrous, the mouth 

 with 8 rather broad bitid teeth. Anthers 8, short, elliptic, included. 

 Disc shortly cylindric, longer than the ovary, fleshy, glabrous ; its
