Orudia Mans ONI Pram; leaflets thinly coriaceous, glabrous, ovate- 

 oblong or oblong, shortly acuminate, rachis slightly prolonged beyond 

 the terminal leaflet. Touchiroa Mansoni Prain Mss. 



Burma: Tenasserim; T &yo jj Hanson's Gollector 1721 306! 



A tree with glabrous branclilets. Leaves odd-pinnate, rachis 4-5 in. long, 

 petiole articulate, the interpetiolar stipules united at the base ; leaflets 5, petiolules '25 

 in. long, glabrous as is the rachis which is prolonged as an acumen beyond the last 

 leaflet ; alternate, ovate-oblong or oblong, base ouneate rarely rounded, apex rounded, 

 with an abrupt sharp tip "25 in. long, 6-8 in. long, 2'25-2*5 in. wide, dark-green above* 

 paler beneath, quite glabrous on both surfaces, lateral nerves about 10 pairs, spread- 

 ing, and looping within the margin, not very prominent but distinctly visible as is 

 the secondary venation on both surfaces. Flowers in long narrow racemes from old 

 leaf- axils, beset at the base with ovate-lanceolate coriaceous bad -scales, rachis 8-12 

 in. long (including flowerless peduncle 2 in. long) finely puberulous throughout; 

 pedicels close-set, slender, puberalons, "25 in. long. Galyx-tnhe short, lobes 4 oblong 

 imbricate reflexed in flower, sparingly puberulous externally glabrous within. 

 Petals 0. Stamens not seen. Ovary shortly stipitate, densely tawny-velvety, 3-4- 

 ovuled, stipe glabrous below, pubescent above, as long as calyx- tube ; style slender 

 glabrous except at base. Pod oblong, obliquely rounded at both ends, finely rasty- 

 velvety, 25 in. long, 1*5 in. wide. 



A very distinct species with leaflets and long racemes of close-set flowers nofc 

 unlike those of Grudia bantamensis Hassk., and quite unlike those of any other 

 hitherto described species from South Eastern Asia. The present species, however, 

 differs markedly from G. bantamensis in the more numerous leaflets and the longer 

 pedicels. 



Mr. Manson's collectors have associated with this tree two Burmese names, 

 viz., Tsintonui and Thit kouk wilt. 



The present opportunity is taken of providing a description for hitherto un- 

 characterised Bornean species. 



Crudia Havilandi Prain ; leaflets thinly coriaceous, almost glabrous, 

 very long caudate-acuminate, rachis slightly prolonged beyond the termi- 

 nal leaflet. Touchiroa Havilandi Prain MSS. 



Borneo : Sarawak, near Kuching, Haviland 3070 ! 3703 ! 



A shrub with slender quite glabrous branchlets. Leaves odd-pinnate, rachis 

 1*5-2 "5 in. long, petiole articulate, the interpetiolar stipules united at the base by 

 their inner margins, thereafter free, lanceolate, sparsely puberulous on their petiolar 

 aspect; leaflets 4-6, very rarely 3, petiolules 15 in. long, glabrous as is the ra^ohis, 

 which is prolonged beyond the last leaflet as a short blunt process ; alternate ' 

 narrowly ovate or obovate-oblong, base rounded, apex prolonged into a '75 in. long
