xni, c, 2 Merrill: New Species of Bornean Plants 73 
Sarawak, Matang Road near Kuching, Native collector 1062, 725 
(type), the latter collected May 31, 1901; Samatan, Foxivorthy 157, in 
swampy places, May 20, 1908, with the Dyak name guid malam. 
This species is readily recognizable by its very dense and characteristic, 
ferruginous, stellate-plumose indumentum. From Blume’s entirely inad- 
equate description it might be Tricholobus ferrugineus Blume Mus. 1 
(1850) 237, which King considers to be the same as Connarus ferrugineus 
Jack, a species entirely different from the present one, but which Schel- 
lenberg, 3 who has examined Blume’s type specimen, states is identical 
with Connarus hebephyllus King. It seems, on the whole, to be closely 
allied to the Sumatran Tricholobus fulvus Blume, and may prove to be 
identical with Blume’s species; however, Blume’s specific name is invalid 
in Connarus, so that I have not hesitated in describing the present species 
under a different specific name.

A tree about 7 m high, entirely glabrous (flowers unknown), 
the branches and branchlets terete, brownish, the latter slender. 
Leaves 2- or 3-foliolate, the petiole and rachis 2 to 4 cm long, 
the latter slightly projecting above the ultimate petiolule; leaflets

dry, 15 to 23 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, the apex slenderly caudate- 
acuminate, the acumen blunt, up to 3.5 cm in length, base 
rounded to subacute; primary lateral nerves about 10 on each 
side of the midrib, on the upper surface with the midrib and 
arcuate marginal nerves somewhat impressed, on the lower sur- 
face with the lax reticulations very prominent, arched-anastomos- 
ing 5 to 10 mm from the edge of the leaf; petioiules brown, 
rugose, 5 mm long or less; stipules linear-lanceolate, acuminate,
