subrectis, subtruncatis, compressis, rigidis, sulcatis, circiter 6 
mm longis. 
A tree about 9 m high, glabrous except the younger parts and 
the inflorescence. Branches subterete, pale-grayish, often sul- 
cate. Leaves 25 to 35 cm long, glabrous, the leaflets 5 or 7, 
oblong, chartaceous to subcoriaceous, oblong, 16 to 20 cm long, 
5.5 to 8 cm wide, distinctly acuminate, base acute, when dry pale- 
brownish to pale-olivaceous, shining, the lower surface paler than 
the upper and usually slightly glaucous; lateral nerves about 18 
on each side of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations dis- 
tinct. Panicles terminal, densely subferruginous-pubescent, the 
branches few, up to 7 cm in length. Buds rather densely 
crowded, globose; petals ovate, minute. Fruits, globose, pale

Mindanao, Zamboanga District, Talisay, For. Bur. 13775 Foxivorthy, 
DeMesa, & Villamil, June 18, 1913 (type), in the virgin forest, altitude 
about 20 meters, locally known as bull The same species is represented 
by For. Bur. 21+052 Acuna from Kalambugan, Lanao District, Mindanao, 
May 17, 1915, with immature flowers. 
Its alliance is with Nephelium mutabile Blume and N. intermedium 
Radik., the latter being scarcely distinguishable from the former; from 
these it is distinguished especially by. its much more numerous lateral 
nerves. The species is dedicated to Mr. E. E. Schneider, wood expert 
of the Bureau of Forestry, who called my attention to the fact that the 
wood of this species was entirely different from that of Nephelium muta- 
bile Blume as the type specimen was originally identified by me.
