somewhat villous on both surfaces, cylindric, 6 mm long, 10- 

 toothed, the teeth distinct, short. Anthers 10, sessile, included, 

 about 1 mm long. Disk cup-shaped, villous, about 1.5 mm high. 

 Ovary ovoid, somewhat pubescent, the style glabrous, about 2.5 

 mm long. Fruit in general obovoid, falcate, 3 to 4 cm long,

Apparently in the same group with Dysoxylum alliaceum Blume. The 

 inequilateral, 1-seeded, rostrate fruit is very characteristic.

 que acuminatis, inaequilateralibus, plus minusve falcatis, usque 

 ad 12 cm longis, nervis utrinque circiter 9, valde prominentibus,

A tall tree, entirely glabrous except the staminal tube and 

 the ovary. Branchlets stout, terete, brownish, much wrinkled, 

 1 to 1.5 cm in diameter, marked with very large petiolar scars. 

 Leaves alternate, 20 to 40 cm long, about 7-jugate, the rachis 

 and petiole brown and somewhat longitudinally rugose when dry. 

 Leaflets thickly coriaceous, oblong-ovate, more or less falcate, 

 inequilateral, 8 to 12 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, apex shortly and 

 bluntly broad-acuminate, base rounded to acute, brownish-oliva- 

 ceous when dry, the upper surface very strongly shining, the 

 lower of about the same color but dull; lateral nerves about 9 

 on each side of the midrib, very prominent on the lower surface, 

 not anastomosing, the reticulations obsolete; petiolules about 5 

 mm long. Panicles in the uppermost axils forming a terminal 

 inflorescence, the individual ones narrowly pyramidal, often as 

 long as the leaves, the branches spreading, the lower ones about 

 8 cm long, densely many-flowered, the flowers crowded, shortly 

 pedicelled or subsessile, 4-merous. Calyx disk-like or shallowly 

 saucer-shaped, obscurely toothed, about 3 mm in diameter. 

 Petals 4, oblong, obtuse, 8 mm long, 3 mm wide, glabrous, quite 

 free. Staminal-tube cylindric, 7 to 8 mm long, somewhat villous 

 inside and outside, truncate. Anthers 10, sessile, 0.8 mm long.
