THE GENUS RADERMACHERA HASSK. 335 



5. Radermachera fenicis sp. nov. 



Arbor parva, usque ad 5 m alta, glaberriina; foliis 15 ad 20 cm longis, 

 bipinnatis, 3-jugatis; foliolis oblongo-ellipticis vel anguste obovato-ellip- 

 ticis, 4 ad 5 cm longis, subtus minutissime punctatis, apice acutis, obtusis, 

 vel breviter obtuseque acuminatis, basi cuneatis; paniculis terminalibus 

 folia aequantibus, angustis ; floribus albis, 4 cm longis ; f ructibus circiter 

 11 cm longis. 



A small tree 3 to 5 m high, glal)rous throughout. Branches terete, 

 grayish-brown, lenticellate. Leaves opposite, about 30 cm long, the lowest 

 pinna? 3-f oliolate, the others of single leaflets : leaflets ol)long-elliptical to 

 obovate-elliptical, 4 to 5 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, rather thin, shining, 

 the apex obtuse, acute, or somewhat acuminate, the base cuneate, the lower 

 surface minutely punctate; lateral primary nerves about 7 on each side 

 of the midrib, anastomosing, scarcely more distinct than are the secondary 

 nerves and reticulations; petiolules 5 mm long or less, that of the terminal 

 leaflet 1 to 1.5 cm long. Panicles terminal, narrow, about as long as 

 the leaves, the bracteoles linear-setaceous, about 4 mm long. Flowers 

 white. Calyx somewhat campanulate, epunctate, 1 cm long, 2-lobed, one 

 lobe with two, the other with three small teeth. Corolla about 4 cm 

 long, the first 5 mm slender, tubular, then abruptly enlarged and campan- 

 ulate, 3 cm wide above, the lobes broad, rounded. Stamens glabrous. 

 Capsules somewhat compressed, ahout 11 cm long, 6 mm thick, glabrous; 

 seeds many, 3 mm wide, and, including the wings, 1 cm long, apiculate. 



Batan (Batanes Islands), Santo Domingo de Basco, Bur. Sci. 3583 Feniw, 

 May, 1907. N. v., Balayhayan. 



A species well characterized by its small leaves, comparatively short capsules, 

 and its blunt, acute, or only shortly acuminate leaflets. I am disposed to refer 

 here an imperfect specimen from Mindoro, For. Bur. 9750 Merritt, but when more 

 and better material is secured, the Mindoro plant may be found to present char- 

 acters sufficient to warrant its description as a distinct species. It has much 

 more acuminate leaves than has the Batan plant. 



6. Radermachera acuminata sp. nov. 



Stereospermum quadripinnaium Rolfe in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 21 (1884) 

 313; nee Millingtonia quadripinnata Blanco, nee Boflermachera quadripinna Seem. 



Arbor glabra; foliis bipinnatis, circiter 40 cm longis: foliolis oblongo- 

 lanceolatis vel lanceolatis, coriaceis, basi acutis, apice valde acuminatis, 

 usque ad 13 cm longis; paniculis terminalibus circiter 25 cm longis; 

 floribus circiter 4 cm longis, campanulatis. 



A tree, glabrous throughout, or the inflorescence ol)scurely puberulent. 

 Leaves bipinnate, about 40 cm long, the lowermost pinnte with 5 leaflets, 

 the next with 3 leaflets, and the upper ones simple : leaflets oblong-lan- 

 ceolate or lanceolate, 8 to 13 cm long, 2.5 to 4.5 cm wide, the base 

 acute, the apex slenderly long-acuminate, coriaceous, slightly shinino-; 

 lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, anas- 

 tomosing, the reticulations fine, indistinct; petiolules 8 to 12 mm long,
