950 L. Radlkofer. — Sapindaceae. 



Nephelium, but by the characters given by Radlkofer it appears better placed in Xero- 

 spermum. It is definitely more closely allied to X. muricatum Radlk. of Burma and 

 the Malay Peninsula, than to any of the species of Indo-China, authentically named 

 specimens of all the Indo-Chinese species being available to me for purposes of direct 

 comparison. It differs notably from X. muricatum Radlk. in its long-muricate fruits, 

 the stiff, straight or curved processes attaining a length of 3,5 mm. The genus is new 

 to China. Local name: Shan li chi.«
