3. Walsura Candollei, King, n. sp. A small tree ; young 

 branches glabrous, lenticellate, dark-coloured when dry. Leaves 4 to 7 

 in. long, unequally pinnate ; leaflets usually 5, membranous, lanceolate, 

 sub-acute, the base rounded ; both surfaces glabrous, the lower pale, 

 sub-glaucous ; main nerves 7 to 11 pairs, spreading, curving ; length 2 

 to 4 in., breadth "75 to i'2 in., petiolules '2 to "4 in. Panicles puberu- 

 lous, crowded towards the ends of the branches, axillary, on slender 

 pedicels 2 to 3 in. long, corymbosely cymose, about V5 in. across. 

 Flowers *1 in. long, sub-globular, on pedicels about as long as them- 

 selves. Calyx of 5, free ovate concave spreading sepals, pubescent 

 externally. Petals 5, much larger than the sepals, elliptic-ovate, sub- 

 acute, pnberulous. Stamens 10, the filaments united into a tube in 

 their lower third, pubescent, the alternate shorter, all inseited outside 

 the thick glabrous annular disc. Anthers attached to the apices of the 

 filaments, broadly ovate, short, sparsely pubescent. Ovary pubescent, 

 conical, surrounded by the disc. Style short, ob-conical ; stigma conical, 

 snrroiTnded at the base by a projecting fleshy annulus. Fruit ovoid- 

 globose, with a slightly curved conical apiculus, densely but minutely 

 rusty-puberulous, '75 in. long. 



Andaman Islands ; Kurz, King's Collector, 



This species is allied to W. neurodes, Hiern, from which it differs 

 in its more hairy petals and stamens, thicker style, more conical stigma 

 and apiculate fruit. 1 dedicate the species to M. Casimir De Candolle, 

 who first detected it as new from fragmentary specimens sent to him by 

 the late Mr. Kurz. M. De Candolle did not include it in his Mono- 

 oraph of Meliacex (Monogr. Phaner. Vol. I), but kindly communicated 

 the fact of his discovery to me. Specimens since sent to me by the 

 collector's of the Calcutta garden confirm the accuracy of his decision. 



4. Walsura hypoleuca, Kurz Rep. Veg. Andam. ed. 2, p. 33. A 

 tree 40 to 50 feet high ; young branches stout, puberulous, lenticellate. 

 Leaves 12 to 14 in. long, glabrous ; leaflets 5, thinly coriaceous, elliptic- 

 oblono-, sub-acute, the base cuneate ; upper surface shining, the lower 

 glaucous ; main nerves 7 or 8 pairs, ascending, prominent beneath ;
