bases of new leafy shoots, 4-8 in. long, with angular puberulous rachis ; 

 pedicels slender "2 in. long, puberulous, bracteolate in the middle ; buds 

 oblong, "15 in. long. Galyx-tnbQ very short, lobes 4, imbricate in bud, 

 spreading in flower, faintly puberulous outside, glabrous within. Petals 

 0. Stamens 8-9, alternately long and short, anthers broadly ovate, 

 versatile. Ovary shortly stipitate, densely pubescent, 1- or 2-ovuled; 

 stalk glabrous equalling calyx-tube, style glabrous incurved. Pod un- 

 known. Touchiroa Wrayi Prain MSS.

 This is a member of the group of species forming the original genus Touchiroa, 

 to which C. hantamensis and C. gracilis, among Malayan species, also belong. But 

 C. Wrayi is easily distinguished from both the species mentioned by its very small 

 leaflets and its much longer pedicels ; the flowers, except for having longer stalks, 

 are extremely like those of C. hantamensis . 



7. Crudia gracilis Prain. A slender shrub 6-8 feet high, young 

 branches glabrous. Leaves odd-pinnate, rachis '75-1 in. long, petiole 

 articulate on a small node, with interpetiolar glabrous lanceolate 

 stipules united only at their very bases, leaflets 3 (or occasionally 2 

 from abortion of one lateral leaflet), with stout petiolules •25 in. long, 

 glabrous as is the rachis ; alternate, ovate-oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 

 base cuneate or slightly unequally rounded, apex shortly caudate-acumi- 

 nate, 4'5-6 in. long, 2-3 in. across, firmly papery, pale yellowish-green, 

 glabrous on both surfaces, lateral nerves ascending, about 6 pairs, distinct, 

 secondary venation somewhat distinct beneath. Flowers in very narrow 

 sparse spikes at the ends of new leafy shoots, 10-12 in. long with 

 angular quite glabrous rachis ; sessile, minutely bracteolate below the 

 caljx ; buds oblong, -15 in. long. Calyx-tnhe very short, lobes 4, imbri- 

 cate in bud, spreading in flower, quite glabrous on both surfaces. Petals 

 0. Stamens 8-9, filaments glabrous, free, alternately short and long, 

 anthers broadly ovate, versatile. Ovary shortly stipitate, densely 

 pubescent, 1- or 2-ovuled ; stalk glabrous, shorter than calyx-tube, style 

 glabrous incurved. Pod unknown, Touchiroa gracilis Prain MSS.

This is extremely closely related to Touchiroa hantamensis Hassk. which has 

 also 3- (or by abortion 2-) foHolate leaves, but has larger leaflets, puberulous rachis 

 and sepals, and distinct though very short pedicels. 



64. Peltophorum Yogel. 



Tall unarmed trees. Leaves abruptly bipinnate. Flowers showy, 

 yellow or white, in axillary and in panicled terminal racemes. Calyx 

 with the disc confined to the base, teeth subequal, very deeply cut, 

 imbricate. Petals oblong or roundish, imbricated, spreading. Stamens
