88 AN ACCOUNT OF A BOTANICAL EXPEDITION 



Mischocarpus sundaicus, Bl. Setul. 



Distrib. Assam, Burmah, Andamans to Singapore. 

 Paranephelium muricatum, Pierre. Perlis. Chupeng. A fair 

 sized tree, in fruit, exactly resembling Pierre's figure, 

 (15108). 



Distrib. Cochin-China. 



Ncphelium( Euphoria), pubescens, n. sp. 



Tree about 30 feet tall, shrubby erect. Branches and 

 young parts closely densely hairy. Leaves equally pin- 

 nate with 4 pairs of leaflets 6 inches long, rachis closely 

 pubescent with stellate hairs, leaflets alternate 

 elliptic obtuse inequilateral, coriaceous 4 inches long by 

 2 inches wide or less above glabrous, except the midrib 

 depressed hairy, beneath shortly hairy, thickly on the 

 nerves, nerves about 10 pairs subhorizontal to near the 

 margin, reticulations conspicuous, petiolule very short 

 To inch long. Inflorescence 8-10 inches long, branches 

 suberect, branchlets short with cymules of flowers 

 crowded. All densely pubescent, except the flowers. 

 Bracts lanceolate "white." Flowers very shortly sessile. 

 Calyx lobes short lanceolate pubescent. Petals 5, elliptic 

 oblong obtuse white glabrous more than twice as long as the 

 sepals, scales at the base large oblong truncate connate 

 pubescent. Stamens 8, glabrous as long as the petals 

 style as long; Fruit (not ripe) oblong, covered with 

 crowded processes over a quarter of ah inch long densely 

 pubescent. 



Bangtaphan. A jungle tree, (Fleith). 



As far as the vegetative organs go, this seems to 

 closely resemble Eadlkofer's Euphoria setosa, Rec. Bot. 

 Surv. India III 847, but it differs in the broad blunt glab- 

 rous petals with prominent scales at the base and glabrous 

 stamens. E. setosa, is a native of Perak (No. 7677.) I have 

 seen no specimen. From E. malaicnsc, the Mata Kuching 

 t differs in its pubescence, larger flowers and fruit.
