Dysoxylum.] xxxv. meliace^. 397 



terminal leaflet longer and obovate; petiolules -i^ in. long. Spikes 

 in clusters from the trunk or the thick branches, i to 2 in. long. 

 Flowers white, -4 in. long. Calyx cup-shaped, lobes rounded 4 

 hairy. Petals 4 oblong 3 times as long, pubescent outside. Stamen- 

 tube cylindric glabrous, with 8 teeth. Disc cylindric longer than 

 the silky ovary. Fruit obovoid minutely tomentose 1*5 in. long. 

 Hab. Hill forests, Perak, Ulu Bubong (Kunstler) ; Gunong Batu 

 Putih (Wray). Distrib. Java, Sumatra. 



(15) D. rugulosum King, I.e. 49. 



Small tree 15 to 25 ft. tall. Leaves 8 to 12 in. long; rachis 

 angled; leaflets 2 to 4 pairs fleshy membranous glabrous oblong 

 oblanceolate acuminate or cuspidate, pale minutely wrinkled when 

 dry, narrowed to the base, 4 to 8 in. long, i'5 in. wide. Panicles 

 supra-axillary '5 to i'25 in. long, sometimes reduced to racemes. 

 Flowers small puberulous cream colour. Calyx nearly flat with 4 

 short teeth pubescent. Petals 'i in. long, elliptic (or ovate) obtuse 

 puberulous. Staminal-tube cylindric puberulous outside, glabrous 

 inside 8- or 9-toothed. Disc little longer than the puberulous 

 ovary. Fruit pyriform apiculate with many vertical ridges puber- 

 ulous, 1*24 in. long, "8 in. through, red. Hab. Mountain forests, 

 Selangor, Sempang Mines. Perak, Larut Hills (Kunstler). 



This may perhaps prove to be a variety of D. venulosum King. 



(16) D. papillosum King, I.e. 50. 



Shrub 6 to 8 ft. tall. Branches tomentose. Leaves 12 to 18 in. 

 long ; rachis angled tomentose ; leaflets 2 or 3 pairs, much resembling 

 those of D. rugulosum, but nerves and midrib very prominent 

 beneath and densely hairy, shape, size and texture identical. 

 Flowers in short 75 to 1*25 in. spikes extra-axillary tomentose; 

 buds globose with calyx covering petals densely tomentose. Petals 

 4 ovate appressed pubescent outside. Stamen-tube much shorter 

 cylindric fleshy 8-toothed. Disc, if any, very small. Hab. Perak, 

 Ulu Kal, 1200 to 1500 ft. altitude (Kunstler). 



(17) D. alternatum Ridl. 



Small glabrous tree, about 8 ft. tall. Leaves 18 in. long; 

 petioles 4 in. long; leaflets quite alternate remote oblong-lanceolate 

 rather thin, cuspidate acuminate oblique at base, base cuneate; 

 nerves slender 8 pairs, 5 in. long, 1-5 in. wide; petiolules "15 in. 

 long. Racemes very short i in. long on a branch. Fruit obovoid 

 I-5 in. long, red glabrous on a stout 75 in. peduncle. Hab. Pahang, 

 below Wray's Camp on Gunong Tahan at 3000 ft. altitude in thick 

 forest (Ridley). 



This is near D. rugulosum, but the leaflets are quite different in form, and 

 quite remotely alternate, and the fruit is larger smooth, not ribbed. It 

 also somewhat resembles D. Beccariamini Engl, of Borneo. I have seen no 

 flowers.
