 glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus; foliis oblongis ad oblongo- 

 lanceolatis, coriaceis, 10 ad 14 cm longis, 3 ad 3.5 cm latis, in 

 siccitate pallide brunneis, apice obtuse acuminatis, basi obtusis 

 ad subrotundatis, utrinque minute subf oveolatis, nervis utrinque 

 circiter 9, tenuibus, subtus distinctis, arcuato-anastomosantibus ; 

 petiolo 1.5 ad 1.8 cm longo ; inflorescentiis in axillis superioribus 

 vel terminalibus, brevibus, cymosis, f errugineo-pubescentibus ;

Ka La, McClure 9180, April 20, 1922, on dry slopes apparently 

 at low altitudes. 



The genus is new to China. Apparently allied to E. cinereus 

 Pierre and E. subrufus Pierre of Indo-China, but with differently 

 shaped, entirely glabrous leaves. 



RUTACEAE 



ACRONYCHIA OLIGOPHLEBIA sp. nov. 



Arbor parva, circiter 7 m alta, inflorescentiis parcissime 

 pubescentibus exceptis glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus, rubro- 

 brunneis; foliis oblongo-obovatis ad oblongo-ellipticis, chartaceis, 

 subolivaceis, nitidis, 7 ad 14 cm longis, 3.5 ad 6 cm latis, apice 

 plerumque late rotundatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque circiter 

 6, patulis, distantibus, subtus perspicuis, arcuato-anastomosan- 

 tibus, reticulis laxis; petiolo 1 ad 1.7 cm longo; inflorescentiis 

 axillaribus, circiter 8 cm longis, paucifloris ; floribus 4-meris, in 

 ramulis ultimis subumbellatim dispositis, pedicellis circiter 5 mm 

 longis, parce adpresse pubescentibus ; sepalis triangularibus, acu- 

 tis, 1 mm longis, obscure pubescentibus; petalis oblongo-ovatis, 

 acutis, 3.5 mm longis, intus obscurissime pubescentibus ; filamen- 

 tis 3 mm longis, glaberrimis, antheris 1.2 mm longis; ovario 

 glabro; stigmate sessile, 4-angulato, 0.3 mm diametro. 



Ng Chi Leng, McClure 9496, May 9, 1922, in forested ravines 

 on the south slope of the mountain, the flowers yellow and 

 green, fragrant. 



A strongly marked species most closely allied to the Phil- 

 ippine Acronychia obovata Merr., from which it is at once 

 distinguishable by its thinner, distantly and much fewer-nerved 

 leaves, and shorter petioles.
