Maikrabao. 



From Chiengmai, Siam. Seeds collected by J. F. Rock, Agricultural 

 Explorer of the United States Department of Agriculture. Received 

 February 25, 1922. 



"(December 29, 1921.) This is a large tree about 50 to 80 feet in height, 

 found along stream beds north of Chiengmai in northern Siam, and is appar- 

 • entiy a new variety. It differs from the southern Siamese form in the fruit, 

 which is chestnut brown and neither velvety nor strongly lenticellate. The 

 staminate flowers are on long pedicels and have no rudimentary ovary, but the 

 pistillate flowers, which are on shorter pedicels and occur in the axils of young 

 (this year's) shoots, have five short sterle anthers. The fruits are from 11 

 to 12 inches in circumference and contain from 20 to 35 seeds. They ripen in 

 November, but fruits may be found on the trees all the year round." {Rock.) 



This tree yields an oil similar to that of Taraktogenos kurzii; the latter is,, 

 however, the source of the true chaulmoogra oil.
