citer 20 cm longis, acuminatis, nervis utrinque 9 ad 12, perspi- 

 cuis; inflorescentiis axillaribus, depauperato-paniculatis, 12 ad 

 20 cm longis, ramis paucis ; floribus 4-meris, circiter 1 cm longis, 

 petalis extus pubescentibus, liberis; antheris 6; ovario pubes- 

 cente. 



A tree, at least 6 m high, probably higher, glabrous except 

 the inflorescences. Branches grayish to brownish, the ultimate 

 ones 5 to 10 mm in diameter. Leaves alternate, distant, 30 to 

 80 cm long; leaflets alternate, or the upper ones subopposite, 

 chartaceous, olivaceous and rather dull when dry, both surfaces 

 minutely verruculose, oblong to oblong-ovate or oblong-elliptic, 

 15 to 30 cm long (mostly about 20 cm), 6 to 11 cm wide; lateral 

 nerves 9 to 12 on each side of the midrib, prominent, somewhat 

 curved, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations nearly obsolete. 

 Panicles axillary, cinereous-pubescent, sparingly branched, 12 

 to 20 cm long, the lower branches 6 cm long or less. Flowers 

 white, 4-merous, their pedicels 2 to 4 mm long. Calyx some- 

 what pubescent, 3 mm in diameter, shallow, somewhat 4-angled, 

 obscurely 4-toothed. Petals 4, narrowly oblong, obtuse, pubes- 

 cent externally, 10 mm long, 2.5 to 2.8 mm wide, free. Staminal- 

 tube cylindric, glabrous on both surfaces, 9 mm long, crenulate. 

 Anthers 6, about 1 mm long, included, inserted near the top of 

 the tube. Disk cylindric, glabrous, crenulate, 3 to 3.5 mm long. 

 Ovary ovoid, pubescent; style pubescent, about 7 mm long. 

 Fruit obovoid, reddish-yellow, brov^m when dry, rather hard, 



6 to 7 cm long, 5 to 6 cm in diameter.

This species greatly resembles Dysoxylum platyphyllum Merr. in its 

 vegetative and inflorescence characters, but is readily distinguished by its 

 petals being pubescent outside and glabrous within; its entirely glabrous 

 staminal tube; its six anthers; and its minutely and uniformly verruculose 

 leaflets. 



DYSOXYLUM ILOCANUM sp. nov. § Eudysoxylum. 



Arbor parva, ramulis et foliis et inflorescentiis plus minusve 

 griseo-puberulis vel pubescentibus; foliis alternis, circiter 25 cm 

 longis, foliolis 6 vel 8, oppositis, oblongo-ellipticis vel subellip- 

 ticis, usque ad 10 cm longis, subcoriaceis, in siccitate pallidis, 

 basi rotundatis, leviter inaequilateralibus, apice obtusis ad ob- 

 scure acuminatis, nervis lateralibus utrinque circiter 14, subtus

7 cm longis, racemosis vel depauperato-paniculatis; floribus 4-
