long or less. Follicles stipitate, up to 4 cm in length, about 
2.2 cm wide, somewhat compressed, slightly inequilateral, stipi- 
tate, subellipsoid, the apex rounded, laterally and obscurely 
beaked, base acuminate, the pseudostalk about 1 cm long, the 
pericarp externally irregularly rugose when dry, brownish, shin- 
ing, entirely glabrous outside and within. Seeds large, some- 
what compressed, 2 to 2.5 cm long, smooth, dark-brown, shining, 
the aril bilobed, the lobes broadly ovoid, rounded, up to 1.5 cm 
long, radiately rugose, the margins undulate. 
Sarawak, Lundu, Foxworthy 35, May 10, 1908, the fruit yellow when 
fresh, the seed black, and the aril yellow; local name (Dyak) bua tumut. 
This species is strongly characterized by its 3-foliolate leaves, its very 
thickly coriaceous, glabrous leaflets, and its very depauperate lateral 
inflorescences. It is not closely allied to any other species known to me; 
the follicles are entirely glabrous without and within. 
CONNARUS PLUMOSO-STELLATUS sp. nov. 
Frutex ut videtur scandens, ramulis et petiolis et subtus foliis 
et inflorescentiis densissime ferrugineo-tomentosis, indumento 
stellato-plumosus ; foliis 14 ad 27 cm longis, 5- vel 7-foliolatis, 
foliolis oblongis, coriaceis, usque ad 11 cm longis, tenuiter acumi- 
natis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque 5 ad 7, perspicuis; paniculis 
terminalibus axillaribusque, usque ad 30 cm longis; petalis an- 
guste oblanceolatis, utrinque glabris, 6.5 ad 8 mm longis. 
A shrub, apparently scandent, the branchlets, petioles, and 
rachis, lower surface of the leaflets, and the inflorescences very 
densely ferruginous-pubescent with characteristic stellate-plu- 
mose hairs. Branches and branchlets terete, brown. Leaves 
14 to 27 cm long, 5- or 7-foliolate; leaflets mostly oblong, coria- 
ceous, 7 to 11 cm long, 2 to 4 cm wide, the upper surface brown, 
glabrous, shining, the lower densely tomentose, the apex slen- 
derly acuminate, base acute ; lateral nerves 5 to 7 on each side of 
the midrib, rather prominent, curved-ascending, anastomosing, 
the reticulations rather lax, distinct on the lower surface ; petio- 
lules densely tomentose, 3 mm long or less. Panicles axillary 
and terminal, up to 30 cm in length, the primary branches up 
to 10 cm in length, the bracts and bracteoles linear, curved, 
about 5 mm long, densely tomentose. Flowers yellow. Sepals 
linear-oblong, 4 to 5 mm long, densely stellate-pubescent. Petals 
narrowly oblanceolate, 6.5 to 8 mm long, glandular-punctate, 
glabrous, obtuse or subacute. Five longer filaments 3 to 4 mm 
long, the five alternating ones 1 to 2 mm in length. Ovary ovoid, 
very densely stellate-plumose-pubescent, the hairs up to 1.5 mm 
in length.
