Lower leaves a yard across, decompound-pinnate, with pairs of opposite leaflets at 

 the divisions of the main rhachis, upper smaller simply pinnate, uppermost 1-3-folio- 

 late ; leaflets 3 by 1^ in., oblong or elliptic, glabrous, entire, reticulations distinct ; 

 petiolule 0-j in. Peduncles 2 in., stout, many in the umbel, with very small acute 

 scattered bracts or naked ; pedicels J in., quite glabrous even when young, or with 

 more or less rusty stellate wool. Fruit J by J in.

Leaves pinnate and 2-pinnate, leaflets sometimes ternate ; uppermost often pinnate 

 with 5-17 leaflets, but sometimes with only 3-1 leaflets; leaflets varying greatly in 

 size on the same branchlet, much narrowed to both ends, reticulations obscure, 

 glabrous, entire ; petiolule 0-^ in. Peduncles usually much fewer than in A. dimersi- 

 folium and evidently only pseudo-terminal ; pedicels glabrous or with rusty stellate 

 wool. Flowers yellow (Maingay) and fruits nearly as in A, diversifoUum. — The fruits 

 are said by Miquel to be sometiiaes 2-seeded, but all the Eew examples are 1-seeded. 

 Both Eumphius and Maingay note two forms of this plant, which are, however, con- 

 nected by a series of intermediates :

12. KETEXIOPANAX, Seem. 



A small unarmed tree. Leaves glabrous or nearly so, very large, pimiately 

 decompound; stipules not prominent. Panicles large; umbels racemed, more 

 or less stellate-hairy ; bracts small, ovate, obtuse, persistent ; pedicels not jointed 

 under the flower. Flowers polygamous, the terminal umbel of each panicle- 

 branch usually alone fruiting. Calyx-margin nearly entire. Petals 5, valvate. 

 Stamens 5. Ovary 2-celled ; styles 2, distinct from the base, spreading. Fi-uit 

 much laterally compressed, 2-seeded. Seeds compressed ; albumen ruminated.
