1. Walsura multijuga, King n. sp. A tree 20 to 30 feet high : 

 young branches cinereous, puberulous, not lenticellate. Leaves 5 to 9 in. 

 long, rachis puberulous ; leaflets 5 to 9, coriaceous, lanceolate or oblong- 

 lanceolate, shortly acuminate, usually much narrowed but sometimes 

 rounded and oblique at the base ; both surfaces glabrous, the lower paler ; 

 main nerves 5 or 6 pairs, ascending, curved, slightly prominent on the 

 lower sui'face: length 2'5 to 5 in., breadth "TS to 1"5 in., rarely 2 in., 

 petiolules '15 to 2 in., the terminal "4 or '5 in. Panicles small, umbel- 

 late-cymose, pedunculate, much shorter than the leaves, clustered in the 

 axils of the leaves or terminal, puberulous ; the peduncles 1 to 2 in. 

 long, the heads about 1 in. in diam. Floivers about "1 in. long, their 

 pedicels shorter. Calyx-teeth short, broad, spreading. Petals 5, broadly 

 elliptic, blunt, puberulous outside, longer than the calyx. Stamens 10, 

 shorter than the petals ; the filaments slightly united into a tube in the 

 lower third, the upper two-thirds free, flattened, bifid at the apex, o-la- 

 broas outside, pubescent inside below the anthers. Anthers small, ovate, 

 inserted between the divaricating incurved teeth of the filaments. Disc 

 proper, none. Ovary broadly obovoid or ovoid-globulai-, tapering into 

 the very short style, glabrous ; stigma small, capitate with a central 

 mammilla. Fruit ovoid or ovoid-globose, apiculate, densely rusty-tomeu- 

 tose, '5 in. long without the apiculus. Melospervium rubro-stainineum, 

 Scort. MS. in Herb. Calc.

2. Walsura neurodes, Hiern in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 564. 

 A tree; young branches cinereous-puberulous. Leaves 6 to 8 in, lono-- 

 leaflets 6, narrowly elliptic or elliptic-oblong, shortly and bluntly acu- 

 minate, the base cuneate or rounded ; upper surface glabrous, shinino-, 

 the lower glaucous ; main nerves 8 to 10 pairs, spreading, rather pro- 

 minent beneath ; length 2 to 4 in., breadth 1 to 2 in., petiolule "25 to 

 •35 in., the terminal one 1 in. Panicles equal to or longer than the 

 leaves, on rather long peduncles, their lateral branches lax, short, the 

 flowers near their apices and not numerous. Flowers '\5 in. long, pedi- 

 cels shorter. Calyx with 5 short broad ovate spreading tooth. Pttnls
