Ll NOCI ERA VERRUCULOSA sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 10 m alta, ramulis et inflorescentiis plus minusve 
subferrugineo-pubescens ; folils subcoriaceis, oblongis, usque ad 
24 cm longis, breviter et abrupte subapiculato-acuminatis, basi 
acutis, in siceitate brunneis, nitidis, laevis, eglandulosis ; nervis 
lateralibus utrinque 10 ad 12, supra impressis, subtus prominulis, 
anastomosantibus, reticulis laxissimis; paniculis lateralibus, 6 
ad 8 cm longis, pubescentibus, bi- vel tripinnatis, floribus in 
ramulis subspicatim dispositis, 4-meris, calycis ovoideis, 1.2 mm 
longis; fructibus ellipsoideis, in siceitate atro-brunneis, junioribus 
circiter 1.3 cm longis, perspicue verrucosis. 
A tree about 10 m high, the branchlets and inflorescences more 
or less ferruginous- or subferruginous-pubescent. Branches 
grayish, smooth, terete, the branchlets pale-brownish. Leaves 
oblong, subcoriaceous, 20 to 24 cm long, 7 to 8 cm wide, brown 
and shining when dry, somewhat paler on the lower surface than 
the upper, smooth, eglandular, the base acute, the apex abruptly 
and broadly subapiculate, the midrib and nerves impressed on 
the upper surface, prominent on the lower surface, the nerves 
10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing, 
the reticulations very lax; petioles 1 to 1.2 cm long. Panicles 
lateral, 6 to 8 cm long, peduncled or branched from near the 
base, bi- or tripinnate, the flowers subspicately crowded on the 
ultimate branchlets, 4-merous, subsessile or very shortly pedi- 
celled, the bracts pubescent, 1.5 mm long or less. Calyx ovoid, 
about 1.2 mm long, the lobes ovate, obtuse, pubescent, 0.8 mm 
long. Corolla not seen. Fruits (immature) when dry blackish- 
brown, ellipsoid, about 1.3 cm long, very prominently verrucose, 
their pedicels about 2 mm long, much thicker than long. 
British North Borneo, in forests along the Kalabakan River, Villamil 
22U, September 26, 1916, altitude about 3 meters. 
This species is strikingly characterized by its prominently verrucose 
fruits, all other species of the genus known to me having smooth fruits. 
In vegetative characters it closely resembles Lino tier a callophylla (Blume) 
Knobl., as I have interpreted the latter from the short and imperfect 
description, and is also similar to “IV, A, 120” in cultivation in the Botanic 
Garden at Buitenzorg, Java, from Sumatra; the latter bears an unpub- 
lished name of Scheffer’s, and Boldingh 6 has erroneously referred it to 
Chionanthus ramiflora Roxb., with which it has little in common. It is 
suspected that this specimen will prove to be the same as Linociera callo- 
phylla Knobl.
