IdALACCA, Griffith, Maingay. 



Peiiolules J in. long; leaflets rigidly snbcoriaceous, strongly veined; upper 

 oblanceolate-oblong, acute, a foot or more long; lower shorter, more oblong. 

 Corymbs solitary or geminate, nearly sessile, ample, dense, 1-6 in. broad ; main 

 branches stout, woody ; pedicels of lower flowers disarticulated at the base befpre the 

 upper expand ; bracteoles none to be seen in the specimens. Flowers the same size 

 as in the last, but the tube and pedicels more slender. — Closely approaches the 

 Malayan S. declinata, Miquel, in habit, foliage and inflorescence, but that has only 4 

 stamens. 



3. S. Xiobbiana, Baker; leaflets 10-12, petiolules short, bracl^oles 

 large caducous, corymbs sparse from young slender branches, sepals half as long 

 as the calyx-tube, stamens 7-8.

An erect tree, leaves abruptly pinnate. Flowers racemed. Calyx with a 

 long cylindrical disciferous tube; sepals 4, oblong, the two lowest connate. 

 Petals only 3 developed, the upper very broad, vrith a long claw, the two lateral 

 as long, but narrower, oblong-spathulate, the two lowest rudimentary. iStamens 

 diadelphous, 9 lower having the filaments connate in a long tube, alternately 

 larger and smaller, the upper free from the base ; anthers versatile, dehiscing 

 longitudinally. Ovaty stalked beyond the disk, many-ovuled; style long, 

 filiform, stigma capitate. Pod large, fiat, almost woody, dehiscent. Seeds 

 large, round-oblong, compressed, exalbuminous. — Dibieib. A single endemic
