DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES. 301 



were seen, are closely crowded, so tliat tlie lateral ones overlap the terminal 

 one; the leaves are elliptical, and the nerves are strong'cr than in any of 

 the other specimens. In PI. CLIII, Fi^. 4, and PI. CLV, Vl^. 7, the 

 terminal leaflet is distinctly petioled and comparatively remote from the 

 lower ones, which also are t'lirnished with petioles. Tliis seems to be ((nite 

 a distinct species from the preceding. 



Sapindopsis tenuineuvis, sp. nov. 



Plato CMII, Fif?. 1. 



Leaves odd-pinnat(^, snnnnits of the leaflets not seen, but they are appar- 

 ently of considerable size ; leaflets narrowed gradually at their Ijases, more 

 so in the lower ones, which are wedge-shaped at base, and the lowest i)air 

 petioled: uppermost pair of leatiets slightly united to the terminal one, 

 and this latter larger than the others and less narrowed at base ; ui)})ermost 

 leaflets cut away obli([uely at base on the upper side nearly to the midrib, 

 decurrent on the lower side, with a narrowing wing to the next pair, l)ut 

 not uniting with it ; next lower pair very slightly decurreut, and wedge- 

 shaped at base ; leaflets quite remote, the leaf-substance thick and leathery; 

 epidermis firm and glossy ; midnerves c6m})aratively slender; lateral primary 

 nerves slender ; the lowest j)rimary nerves go off very obliquely and run 

 approximately parallel with the margin for some distance ; succeeding pri- 

 maries go oft" at more obtuse angles until towards the middle of the leaflet 

 they go off at right angles ; towards the margins of the leaflet they bend 

 abruptly forwards and connect with the next higher primaries, forming a 

 series of arches; intermediate subordinate nerves go off from the midnerve, 

 and send off bi'anches which anastomose with branches from the primaries, 

 forming finally an ultimate reticulation mostly subrhombic in shape ; ner- 

 vation all quite slender and the reticulation lax. 



Localities: 72d mile-post ; bank near Brooke ; not uncommon. 



This plant seems to be quite a distinct species.

Leaf-substance very thick ; leaflets gloss}^, oblong, rounded, and very 

 obtiise at the tips, often slightly inecpiilateral, that is, the midnerve does
