This species has somewhat the appearance of Dysoxylum 

 turczaninowii C. DC. but is not closely allied to that species, 

 differing essentially in its simple, spicate inflorescences; the 

 leaflets are also much smaller than in the latter species. 



DYSOXYLUM SIARGAOENSE sp. nov. § Evdysoxylum. 



Arbor parva, partibus junioribus et inflorescentiis caulinis 

 plus minusve pubescens; foliis alternis, circiter 35 cm longis, 

 vetustioribus glabris, foliolis circiter 13, chartaceis, oppositis, 

 oblongis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, plerumque inaequilateralibus, 

 10 ad 15 cm longis, acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 15, 

 tenuibus; racemis caulinis, fasciculatis 1.5 ad 2.5 cm longis; 

 floribus 4-meris, breviter pedicellatis, 5 mm longis, calycis cir- 

 citer 2 mm diametro; petalis oblongis liberis, glabris; ovario 

 pubescente. 



A small tree, the younger parts and the cauline inflorescences 

 more or less pubescent. Branches terete, brownish when dry, 

 the ultimate ones about 7 mm in diameter, glabrous, the branch- 

 lets and very young leaves more or less pubescent. Leaves 

 alternate, about 35 cm long, glabrous when mature, the leaflets 

 about 13, opposite, chartaceous, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 

 usually inequilateral, olivaceous when dry, 10 to 15 cm long, 

 3.5 to 4.5 cm wide, acuminate, the base usually strongly in- 

 equilateral and acuminate, the lamina longer on one side than 

 on the other, or the uppermost leaflets equilateral ; lateral nerves 

 about 15 on each side of the midrib, slender and anastomosing, 

 the reticulations lax, distinct; petioles 6 mm long or less. 

 Racemes fascicled on the larger branches, 1.5 to 2.5 cm long, 

 cinereous-pubescent. Flowers 4-merous, about 5 mm long, their 

 pedicels 1.5 to 2 mm in length. Calyx pubescent, somewhat 

 cup-shaped, about 2 mm long and wide, broadly and irregularly 

 4-toothed. Petals 4, white, free, oblong to oblong-oblanceolate, 

 about 5 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, glabrous or slightly pubescent
