neath. Leaves 12-18 by 3J-4 in., very long and narrow, very acuminate, bnt not 

 caudate, very gradually narrowed into the short petiole; upper surface minutely 

 scahrid ; nerves numerous, arching. Panicle shorter than the leaves (in the only spe- 

 cimen). Flowers as small as in M. sirrvpUcifolia, crowded on the ultimate branchlets. 

 Inner sepals very coriaceous, obtuse, quite glabrous. Petals audi, fruit not seen.

A middling-sized tree ; branches smooth. Leaves 6-18 in. ; petiole cylindric ; 

 leaflets 3-6 by 1-1^ in. shortly petiolulate, much acuminate, sometimes nearly entire. 

 Panicle as long as the leaves, terminal ; branches spreading ; bracts minute, cadu- 

 cous, subulate. Flowers white, minute. Sepals and bracteoles 5, broadly orbicular- 

 ovate, minutely ciliate, otherwise glabrous. Petals subvalvate, glabrous. Disk 

 3-angled. Drupe as large as a pea. — The M. rhoifplia, Maxim., of Japan seems to be the 

 same as this.

 oblong oblong-ovate or obovate-acuminate more or less spinulose-tooihed, 

 pubescent beneath, panicle tomentose, flowers very shortly pediceUed.

A small tree ; branchlets rusty puberulous. Leaves, 6-12 in. ; leaflets, 3-7 in., 

 straight or falcate, rather coriaceous; petiole, petiolules and under-surface clothed 

 with a spreading rusty tomentum; nerves many, curved; upper surface opaque; 

 base rounded oblique. Panicle stout, much branched ; hairs short spreading; 

 bracts caducous. Flowers minute, on short stout pedicels. Sepals and bracteoles 5, 

 glabrous, orbicular-ovate. Petals subvalvate. Drupe globose, the size of a small 

 pea. — Small specimens of this from Moflong in the Khasia seem identical with 

 a Corean plant collected by Wilford.
