danao, but is not reported from Luzon unless Cuming 987 from the Prov- 

 ince of Pangasinan is correctly referred here. In our extra-Philippine 

 material it is represented by specimens from Cochin China, southern China, 

 Malay Peninsula, Singapore, and Queensland. Loureiro's specific name, 

 being much the older, is here adopted. 



BRUCEA MACROBOTRYS sp. nov. 



Frutex 1 ad 2 m altus partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 

 minute adpresse pubescentibus ; foliis usque ad 60 cm longis, 

 9-foliolatis, foliolis ovatis ad oblongo-ovatis, membranaceis, basi 

 late acutis ad rotundatis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, margine 

 integris vel leviter undulatis, distanter glandulosis, subtus par- 

 cissime pubescentibus, nervis utrinque 7 vel 8 ; paniculis angustis, 

 quam folia longioribus, cymis distantibus, circiter 1.5 cm longis; 

 floribus circiter 2 mm diametro. 



An erect shrub 1 to 2 m high, the branches terete, pale- 

 brownish, lenticellate, glabrous, the younger ones somewhat 

 pubescent with short pale hairs as are the inflorescences and 

 parts of the leaves. Leaves up to 60 cm long, the rachis greenish 

 when dry, slightly pubescent; leaflets 9, ovate to oblong-ovate, 

 membranaceous, 12 to 17 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, olivaceous 

 and shining when dry, base broadly acute to rounded, apex rather 

 slenderly and sharply acuminate, margins entire or slightly un- 

 dulate, the incipient teeth indicated by distant marginal glands; 

 lateral nerves 7 or 8 on each side of the midrib; petiolules 

 puberulent, about 6 mm long. Panicles axillary, up to 80 cm 

 long, very narrow, many flowered, the flowers in distant, pubes- 

 cent, rather many-flowered cymes about 1.5 cm in length, few 

 flowers opening at one time, their pedicels pubescent, slender, 

 4 to 5 mm long, the staminate ones about 2.2 mm in diameter. 

 Sepals 3, pubescent, oblong, acute, 1 mm long. Petals slightly 

 longer than the sepals, oblong-ovate, obtuse, very slightly pubes- 

 cent. Stamens about as long as the petals. Fruit ovoid, black 

 when dry, about 12 mm long, distinctly reticulate-rugose.

 along small streams. 



A species manifestly allied to Brucea mollis Wall, and B. luzonienaia 

 Vid., closely approaching some forms of the latter. It differs in its larger 

 leaflets, longer leaves, much longer inflorescences, and larger fruits, but 

 in spite of these different characters may be only a variety of Wallich's 

 species unusually large in size.
