lenticels, when young puberulent; leaves alternate, pinnate; terminal leaflets hone; 

 rachis of leaf and petiole 6 — 9,5 mm long, slender, puberulent; leaflets 8 — 10, alternate, 

 short-petiolulate, elliptic-oblong or elliptic, 2,5 — 5 cm long, 1,2 — 2 cm wide, acute or 

 short-acuminate, at base obtuse and in the lateral leaflets slightly oblique, coarsely 

 serrate or rarely sub-entire, thin, sparsely puberulent; flowers in lateral few-flowered 

 panicles half as long as the leaves, the branches sparsely puberulent, the fruiting pedicels 

 5 — 7 mm long; sepals united below, persistent; fruit sessile, obovoid-globose, red, 10 — 

 12 mm long and 10 mm in diameter, rounded at apex, terete, sparsely puberulent, 

 3-valved, the valves glabrous within; fruit by abortion 1-celled, 1 or 2-seeded, the seeds 

 pendant, 1 cm long or smaller, brown; aril white. << 



In Mexico: Roxana S. Ferris n. 5721 (Maria Madre Island, Nayarit, >>wooded 

 slopes near the ocean below Balleto Point«, 25. Oct. 1925). 



>>There is some doubt as to the proper reference of this species to the genus Matayba, 

 but it appears to agree better with that than with any other American group of the 

 family. In fruit and foliage characters it is very unlike any Mexican plant of the family 

 with which I am familiär.«

 reticulations numerous, crowded; petiolules about 5 mm long, scarcely margined, each 

 with a conspicuous brown callus at the base. Panicles axillary and lateral; peduncles 

 1 — 3 cm long, branches few, racemose, sublax. Flowers numerous, crowded, unisexual;
