 equally pinnate, the petiole and rachis shorter than the uppermost pair of 

 leaflets; leaflets 2 pairs, the upper pair much the larger, opposite, thickly 

 membranous, pale and minutely rugulose when dry, oblong-oblanceo- 

 late, shortly and abruptly acuminate, the base much narrowed ; main 

 nerves 8 to 14 pairs, spieading or ascending, faint on the upper surface, 

 prominent and almost winged on the lower : length of the lower pair 

 35 to 45 in., breadth about 15 in., length of the upper pair 6 to 8 in,, 

 breadth about 225 in. ; petiolules about '15 in., stout. Racemes supra- 

 axillary, *5 to 75 in. long, 3- or 4-flowered, puberulous. Flowers '2 in. 

 long, their pedicels shorter. Galyx almost flat, 4-cornered, rugulose out- 

 side and puberulous, inside glabrous and reticulate. Petals 4, much longer 

 than the calyx, elliptic, puberulous outside, glabrous inside, the apex 

 sub-acute slightly thickened and inflexed, the base tinincate. Staminal 

 tube shorter than the petals, cylindric, slightly ridged and puberulous 

 outside, glabrous inside, the mouth with 8 or 9 broad shallow emar« 

 ginate teeth ; anthers elliptic, not exserted. Disc shortly cylindric, 

 slightly exceeding the ovary, fleshy, glabrous 8-or 9- toothed. Ovary 

 hemispheric, ridged, puberulous, tapering into the long cylindric 

 puberulous style; stigma exserted, discoid, with a broad annulus at 

 its base. Fruit on a short stout pedicel, pyriform, apiculate, with 

 numerous vertical rugae, puberulous, 1"25 in. long, and "8 in. in diam. 

 at the broadest part. 



Perak : King's Collector, Kos. 2863, 3158, Scortechiui. 

 This resembles D. macrocarpum, Bl. in its leaves, but its flowers are 

 much smaller and are in short racemes, not in panicles. 



20. Dysoxylum papillosum. King n. sp. A shrub 6 to 8 feet 

 high ; young branches rather stout, densely tawny-tomentose. Leaves 

 12 to 18 in. long, equally pinnate, their petioles and rachises tomentose, 

 more or less angled ; leaflets 2 or 3 pairs, the upper pair the largest, 

 opposite or sub-Oi^posite, coriaceous, broadly oblanceolate, shortly acumi- 

 nate, tapering from above the middle to the very narrow base ; both 

 surfaces when dry minutely papillose, many of the papillae and espe- 

 cially those on the upper surface with perforated apices ; the upper sur- 

 face glabrous, olivaceous green when dry ; the lower yellowish -brown, 

 the main nerves and midrib pubescent ; main nerves 10 to 15 pairs, 

 prominent on the lower, depressed on the upper surface when dry ; 

 length 6 to 12 in., breadth 2"25 to "5 in., petiolules only '15 in., stout, 

 tomentose. Spikes extra-axillary, "75 to 1 '25 in. long, the raohis stout. 

 Woody, tomentose. Flower-buds globose, '15 in. in diam., on very short 

 thick pedicels. Calyx campanulate, enveloping the petals, 4-toothed, 

 membranous, densely tomentose externally. Petals 4, fleshy, bx'oadly
