1. Crudia caudata Prain. A small tree with slender at length 

 glabresfcent branches, and densely rusty-toraentose new shoots. Leaves 

 odd-pinnate, rachis 15-2 in. long, petiole articulate, the interpetiolar 

 stipules united by their inner margins at the base only, elsewhere free, 

 lanceolate, densely rusty-pubescont on their petiolar, glabrous on tlieir 

 axillary aspect ; leaflets 5-7, petiolules '1 in long, densely rusty-toraen- 

 tose as is the rachis, which is prolonged beyond the last leaflet into a 

 subulate process ; alternate, oblanceolate, base rounded in lower, deltoid 

 in upper leaflets, apex prolonged into a '75 in. long, narrow-caudate tip, 

 2'5-4 in. long, 1 in. across, rigidly coriaceous, dark-green glabrous and 

 shining above, dull and densely rusty-pubescent on the nerves beneath, 

 lateral nerves 6-7 pairs slightly ascending, looped within the margin, 

 secondary venation prominent beneath, all nerves obscure above. Flowers 

 in narrow racemes at the bases of new leafy shoots, with round densely 

 rusty-totnentose rachis, pedicels rather stout, under -25 in. long, densely 

 rusty with a subulate bracteole close under calyx ; buds oblong 2 in. 

 long. Calyx-tahe very short, lobes 4, imbricate, reflexed in flower, 

 densely rusty outside, quite glabrous within. Staynens not seen. Ovary 

 stipitate, densely rusty-velvetj^ 1-ovuled, stalk glabrous as long as 

 calyx- tube. Pod (young) linear-oblong, obliquely it)unded nt base,
