 its mouth with 6 shallow broad blunt erose teeth ; anthers 6, elliptic, 

 included, attached half-way up the tube ; rudimentary ovary broadly

7. Amoora Ridleyi, King n. sp. A tree 50 to 60 feet high ; young 

 branches stout, minutely cinereous-puberulous. Leaves 18 to 24 in. 

 long, unequally pinnate; leaflets 11 to 17, sub-opposite or opposite, sub- 

 coriaceous, oblong- lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, caudate-acuminate ; 

 the base rounded or cuneate, very unequal ; both surfaces glabrous, the 

 lower sub-glaucous ; main nerves 8 to 13 pairs, spreading, slightly pro- 

 minent on the lower surface: length 35 to 6 in., breadth 1"35 to 2 in., 

 petiolules "25 to "4 in. Panicles axillary, solitary, about half as long as 

 the leaves, stellate-pubescent, on long peduncles, much branched, the ulti- 

 mate branchlets cymulose. FZowers "2 in. long, narrowly ovoid, onbracteo- 

 late pedicels nearly as long as themselves. Calyx rather deeply cupular, 

 tomentose outside, the mouth with 3 shallow broad teeth. Petals 3, 

 longer than the calyx, fleshy, broadly elliptic, with very concave blunt 

 apices, pubescent in the lower half outside, otherwise glabrous. 

 Staminal tube much shorter than the petals, glabrous outside, with a few 

 scattered hairs inside, cylindric, with a wide mouth with 6 broad shal. 

 low teeth; anthers 6, narrowly elliptic, their apices exserted ; ovary 

 depressed, densely pubescent, 3-celled ; stigma glabrous, large, pyra-
