21. A glabrous tree 40 to 50 feet In'gh. Leaves 9 to 14 in. long; leaflets 

 sub-coriaceous, opposite, about 4 pairs, elliptic-oblong or elliptic, cuspi- 

 date or shortly acuminate ; the base acute, slightly oblique ; main nerves 

 10 to 12 pairs, curved, spreading, stout and prominent on the lower 

 surface ; length 35 to 6 in., breadth 1*5 to 2*75 iu., petiolulss about "3 in. 

 Panicles axillary or terminal, about half as long as the leaves or less ; 

 their branches divaricating and racemoid, glabrous. Flowers not crowd- 

 ed, about "2 in. long, on short pedicels, bracteolate ; pedicels cylindric in 

 bud. Calyx a very short obscurely 4-toothed cup. Petals 4, oblong, 

 obtuse, minutely puberulous externally. Staminal ttibe free from and 

 nearly as long as tiie petals, cylindrical, the moutli with 8 broad shallow 

 crenulate teeth, glabrous outside, villous inside. Atithers 8, short, ovate, 

 included. Disc tubular, glabrous, crenately 4-toothed, longer than and 

 surrounding the ovary. Ovary glabrous, narrowly ovoid, tapering into 

 the cylindric style. Stigma slightly exserted, discoid with a band round 

 its base. Fruit depressed-globular with 3 shallow vertical grooves ; 

 tapering at the base into a pseudo-stalk, 1'5 in. or more in diam., 4-cell- 

 ed ; the pericarp woody, glabrous. Seeds sub-globular. 0. De Cand. in 

 Mon. Phan. I, 503. D. brevipes, Hiern in Hook. fil. Fl. Bv. Ind. I, 560; 

 C. DC. in Mon. Phan. 1, 508. Ilartiyhsea codulata, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat.

The type specimens of D. brevipes Hiern at Kew agree exactly with 

 those of the older D. costulatum Miq. in the Royal Herbaiium at Leiden. 



10. Dysoxylum mackothyrsum, Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. IV., 

 20. A tree 30 to 60 feet high ; young branches rather stout, striate. 

 Leaves 11 to 16 in. long, equally pinnate, the petioles and rachises 

 puberulous : leaflets thinly coriaceous, 3 or 4 pairs, opposite, oblong-lan- 

 ceolate to elliptic-oblong or elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base cuueate 

 and slightly oblique ; upper surface glabrous except the sometimes 

 puberulous midrib, the lower glabrous : main nerves 8 to II pairs, 

 spreading, prominent and almost winged on the lower faintly depressed 

 on the upper surface ; length 3 to 5'5 in. or even 7 in., breadth 1'5 to 

 2-25 in., petiolules "25 to '4 in. Racemes slightly supra-axillary, slender, 

 puberulous, few-flowered, 4 to 7 in. long. Flowers "5 in. long, distant, 

 on short bracteolate pedicels. Galyx a short fleshy i-ugulose puberu- 

 lous cup, with 4 broad triangular teeth. Petals 4, deflexed, many times 

 longer than the calyx, narrowly oblong, slightly widened at the base ; 

 the apex sub-acute, slightly thickened and inflexed, externally with 

 dense pale adpressed hairs, internally glabrescent. Staminal tube
