SPECIES OF EUGENIA, SCHEFFLERA, AND SAURAUIA. 29 



gins entire ; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, 

 slender, nearly straight, anastomosing, the reticulations rather 

 close and distinct ; petiolules 1 to 1.5 cm. long. Inflorescences 

 very shortly peduneled, terminal, about 5 cm. long, the 

 primary branches up to 4, subumbellately disposed near the 

 apex of the peduncle, each bearing up to T umbels, in some 

 the umbels mostly near the tips of the branchlets, in others 

 racemosely disposed. Umbels 10- to 15-flowered, their 

 peduncles 8 to 12 mm. long. Flowers 6-merous, their pedicels 

 2 to 4 mm. long. Calyx somewhat funnel-shaped, truncate, 

 2.4 mm. in diameter. Petals oblong, acute, about 2.8 mm. 

 long. Anthers 6. 



Sarawak, Matang road, Native collector S02 Bur. Set. 

 (type), August 11, 1911; Matang, June 14, 1893, from the 

 Sarawak Museum, apparently collected by Haviland. 



Among the Bornean species this is apparently most closely 

 allied to Schefffera polita, (Miq.) Yiguier, but differs in 

 numerous characters, notably in its entirely different stipules, 

 which in this species are reduced to a recurved narrow rim 

 distant from the branchlet.

sp. nov. 



Frutex vel arbor parva, glabra : foliis longissime petiolatis, 

 foliolis 7 — 9, oblongis, coriaceis, in siccitate brunneo-olivaceis, 

 nitidis, laevibus, usque ad 18 cm. longis, iutegris, abrupte et 

 breviter acuminatis, basi acutis vel rotundatis, nervis utrinque 

 circiter 7, teuuibus, curvatis vel adscendentibus, saepe indis- 

 tinctis, reticulis obsoletis ; inflorescentii* ut videtur terminali- 

 bus, ramis primariis (numerosis?) valde elongatis, usque ad 

 45 cm. longis; umbellis numerosis, in ramis primariis racemose 

 dispositis, pedunculatis, circiter 8-floris : fructibus junioribus 

 obovoideis, truncatis, circiter 3 mm. longis, deorsum angustatis, 

 basi acutis, irregulariter rugosis, 6-locellatis. 



A shrub or a small tree, glabrous. Leaves palmately T- 

 to 9-foliolate, their petioles at least 30 cm. long; leaflets coria- 

 ceous, oblong, entire, brownish-olivaceous, shining, smooth, 

 the apex rather abruptly and shortly acuminate, base acute to 

 rounded. 16 to 18 cm. long, 5 to ? cm. wide; primary nerves 

 about 7 on each side of the midrib, slender, often indistinct, 

 ascending or curved, the reticulations obsolete; petiolules 3 to 

 6 cm. long. Inflorescences apparently terminal and composed 

 of several (many?) greatly elongated primary branches, these 

 up to 45 cm. in length, the lower parts naked, the upper two- 

 thirds to three-fourths of each with numerous, racemosely 

 disposed, about 8-flowered umbels, their peduncles 1 to 1.5 

 cm. in length. Pedicels about 5 mm. long. Young fruits 

 obovoid, truncate, narrowed below to the acute base, irregular- 

 ly rugose, about 3 mm. long, 6-celled.
