In mountain woods, Ulu Gornbak, Selangor. 



This tree puzzled me much as I am unable to find any 

 genus described at all distinctly resembling it. I have how- 

 however, referred it to Sapindaceae, although the stamens and 

 style are very different from those of any other genus. It was 

 a handsome tree of the habit of Nephelium but taller than 

 most. 



Curtisina, Eidl. n. gen. 



Tree. Leaves imparipinnate. Leaves 4 pairs, coriaceous 

 oblong. Panicle terminal. Calyx 3-lobed. Petals 3 oblong 

 coriaceous, no scales. Stamens 6 outside disc, filaments short, 

 thick, anthers oblong dehiscing along edge. Disc thick an- 

 nular. Ovary 2-celled, sunk in disc but free, ovules one in a 

 cell. Style conic, short. Stigma small subcapitate. Fruit 

 bilobed or simple, fleshy, red 1-2 seeded. 



Curtisina penangensis, Eidl. n. sp. 



Tall tree. Leaf 12 in. long. Leaflets oblong with a 

 broad base and narrow to tip, lower ones oblique at base, 

 nerves 8 pairs, elevate beneath, reticulations wide 4.5 in. long, 

 2 in. wide; petioles .5 in., terminal one 1 in. long. Panicle 

 4 in. long, branches 1.5 in. or shorter, distant. Flowers 

 numerous, pedicels very short or 0. Calyx cup-shaped with 

 three ovate lobes. Petals 3, oblong, coriaceous, valvate .1 in. 

 long. Stamens shorter. Disc thick, elevate. Fruit pulpy 

 bilobed, lobes rounded, .5 in. wide, red. 



Penang Hill at 2,200 ft. (Curtis 3648). 



I conclude this to be Sapindaceous from its ovary and 

 fruit and can find nothing at all resembling it in that Order. 

 It has somewhat the appearance of Dacryodes (Burseraceae) 

 except in the fruit and ovary. 



Nephelium Herveyi, Eidl. n. sp. 



Tree. Leaves coriaceous, narrow, lanceolate, blunt acu- 

 minate base shortly acute, glabrous; nerves about 18 pairs, 

 shining above subglaucous beneath 3-3.5 in. long 1.5 in. wide, 

 petiole .18 in. Panicle 4-6 in. long tomentose. Sepals ap-
