WALSURA Roxburgh 

 WALSURA GLABRA sp. nov. 



Arbor glabra, foliis plerumque 3-foliolatis interdum basi folio- 

 lis binis depauperatis additis 5-foliolatis, foliolis majoribus 

 oblongo-ellipticis, utrinque acuminatis, chartaceis, nitidis, usque 

 ad 15 cm longis; paniculis usque ad 5 cm longis, paucifloris, 

 floribus 5-meris, sepalis obovatis, imbricatis, liberis, staminibus 

 10, intus infra antheris barbatis, basi leviter connatis, apice 

 bilacinatis; ovario hirsute. 



A glabrous tree, the branches grayish, terete, somewhat wrin- 

 kled. Leaves mostly 3-foliolate, sometimes by the addition of 

 a pair of depauperate basal leaflets 5-foliolate, up to 20 cm 

 long, the larger leaflets in general oblong-elliptic, acuminate 

 and subequally narrowed at both ends, chartaceous, rather pale 

 when dry, shining on both surfaces; lateral nerves about 9 on 

 each side of the midrib, curved, anastomosing, distinct; petiolules 

 1.5 to 2.5 cm long. Panicles up to 5 cm in length, few-flowered. 

 Flowers pale-yellow, 5-merous. Sepals obovate, rounded, free, 

 imbricate, 1.5 to 2 mm long, so strongly narrowed below as to 

 be almost clawed, glabrous. Petals oblong-elliptic, 4 mm long, 

 glabrous. Stamens 10, united for the lower 0.5 mm, flattened, 

 bearded on the inside below the insertion of the anther, cleft 

 at the apex into two narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, 1 mm long 

 lobes. Ovary densely hirsute ; style very short ; stigma capitate.

By definition this characteristic species might almost as well be placed 

 in the American-African genus Trichilia as in the Indo-Malayan genus 

 Walsura, but in the absence of fruits I have placed it in the latter genus. 

 It is well characterized by its usually 3-foliolate but sometimes 5-foliolate 

 leaves, the basal pair of leaflets, when present, being very greatly reduced 

 in size, and in its free, broadly obovate, imbricate, almost clawed sepals.
