Leaves pinnate and 2- pinnate, leaflets sometimes ternate ; uppermost often pinnate 

 with 5-17 leaflets, but sometimes with only 3-1 leaflets; leaflets varying greatly in 

 size on the same branchlet, much narrowed to both ends, reticulations obscure, 

 glabrous, entire ; petiolule 0-|- in. Peduncles usually much fewer than in A. diversi- 

 folium and evidently only pseudo-terminal ; pedicels glabrous or with rusty stellate 

 wool. Flowers yellow (Maingay) and/rm'fc nearly as in A. diversifolium. The fruits 

 are said by Miquel to be sometimes 2-seeded, but all the Kew examples are 1-seeded. 

 Both Eumphius and Maingay note two forms of this plant, which are, however, con- 

 nected by a series of intermediates : 



VAB. latifolia, Rumph I.e.; leaflets few 4 by l in. A. pinnatum, Maingay MS.,

12. HETEROFANAX, Seem. 



A small unarmed tree, Leaves glabrous or nearly so, very large, pinnately 

 decompound ; stipules not prominent. Panicles large ; umbels racemed, more 

 or less stellate-hairy ; bracts small, ovate, obtuse, persistent ; pedicels not jointed 

 under the flower. Flowers polygamous, the terminal umbel of each panicle- 

 branch usually alone fruiting. Calyx-marrjin nearly entire. Petals 5, valvate. 

 Stamens 5. Ovary 2-celled ; styles 2, distinct from the base, spreading. Fruit 

 much laterally compressed, 2-seeded. Seeds compressed ; albumen ruminated.
