longis, calycis circiter 8 cm longis; ovulis 2; leguminis suborbi- 

 cularibus ad ovatis, usque ad 7 cm longis, basi late rotundatis,

A tree, attaining a height of at least 10 m, glabrous except 

 the young branchlets, buds, and inflorescences, which are rather 

 densely ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves up to 30 cm long, the 

 rachis extended beyond the distal pair of leaflets; leaflets 7, 

 subcoriaceous, oblong to oblong-elliptic, pale when dry, somewhat 

 shining, 8 to 15 cm long, 3.5 to 7 cm wide, base acute to rounded,'' 

 apex distinctly acuminate, the acumen usually blunt; lateral 

 nerves about 8 on each side of the midrib, distinct on both 

 surfaces as are the reticulations; petiolules about 5 mm long. 

 Panicles about 16 cm long, densely ferruginous-pubescent, term- 

 inal, the primary branches few, the lower ones up to 6 cm long. 

 Flowers white, about 2 cm long. Calyx externally densely fer- 

 ruginous-pubescent, about 1.5 cm long, the tube broad, up to 8 

 mm long and 1 cm wide, the lobes oblong, usually obtuse, about 

 8 mm long, slightly pubescent inside. Standard broadly obovate, 

 about 2 cm long, the claw stout, 4 to 5 mm long. Filaments 

 glabrous. Ovary stipitate, oblong, very slightly pubescent with 

 scattered hairs, soon becoming glabrous, the stipe stout, about 5 

 mm long; style glabrous, curved, about 1.3 cm long; ovules 2. 

 Pod thick, woody, suborbicular to ovate, up to 7 cm long and 6 

 cm wide, base broadly rounded, apex prominently apiculate, the 

 valves up to 1 cm in thickness. Seed solitary, ellipsoid, not 

 arillate, red, shining, about 2 cm long.

This species closely resenibles Ormosia macrodisca Baker, of 

 the Malay Peninsula, but the flowers are much larger and the 

 single specimen that I have with seeds shows no basal aril. From 

 Ormosia paniculata Merr. it is at once distinguished by its en- 

 tirely glabrous leaves.
