2, HEPTAPLEmtUM LUHiDUM, new species. An epiphytic shrub 2-3 
feet long ; branches with rugnloso glabrous bark- Leaves trifoliolate, 
with a common petiolo 1-175 in. long, glabrous, Eeshy Tvhen fresh, ver- 
tically rugose when di^y ; leaflets very coriaceous, narrowly elHptic-ob- 
lotig, slightly oblique, tapevitig gradually to each end ; the edges entire, 
much recurved when dry ; both surfaces quite glabroas, the nerves 
and Teins very indistinct even when dry ; length 2'5-4 in., breadth '5--75 
in. ; petiolules tiuequal, thick, the lateral 'i5-'25 in. long, the terminal 
about '4 in, Fanickt terminal, longer than the le-a ves ; its branches few, 
slender, long, Bpreading, glabrous; the nltiniate branch lets 1-1*5 in, 
long, bearing umbels of 3-8 broadly ovoid glabrous flowers '1 in, long; 
their pedicels at first only about "1 in. long, but two or three times 
as long in fruit. Calyx-tuhe shortly canipanvilate ; its mouth trnocate,
