danao, but is not reported from Luzon unless Cuming 987 from the Prov- 
ince of Pangasinan is correctly referred here. In our extra-Philippine 
material it is represented by specimens from Cochin China, southern China, 
Malay Peninsula, Singapore, and Queensland. Loureiro’s specific name, 
being much the older, is here adopted. 
BRUCEA MACROBOTRYS sp. nov. 
Frutex 1 ad 2 m altus partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 
minute adpresse pubescentibus ; foliis usque ad 60 cm longis, 
9-foliolatis, foliolis ovatis ad oblongo-ovatis, membranaceis, basi 
late acutis ad rotundatis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, margine 
integris vel leviter undulatis, distanter glandulosis, subtus par- 
cissime pubescentibus, nervis utrinque 7 vel 8 ; paniculis angustis, 
quam folia longioribus, cymis distantibus, circiter 1.5 cm longis; 
floribus circiter 2 mm diametro. 
An erect shrub 1 to 2 m high, the branches terete, pale- 
brownish, lenticellate, glabrous, the younger ones somewhat 
pubescent with short pale hairs as are the inflorescences and 
parts of the leaves. Leaves up to 60 cm long, the rachis greenish 
when dry, slightly pubescent; leaflets 9, ovate to oblong-ovate, 
membranaceous, 12 to 17 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, olivaceous 
and shining when dry, base broadly acute to rounded, apex rather 
slenderly and sharply acuminate, margins entire or slightly un- 
dulate, the incipient teeth indicated by distant marginal glands; 
lateral nerves 7 or 8 on each side of the midrib; petiolules 
puberulent, about 6 mm long. Panicles axillary, up to 80 cm 
long, very narrow, many flowered, the flowers in distant, pubes- 
cent, rather many-flowered cymes about 1.5 cm in length, few 
flowers opening at one time, their pedicels pubescent, slender, 
4 to 5 mm long, the staminate ones about 2.2 mm in diameter. 
Sepals 3, pubescent, oblong, acute, 1 mm long. Petals slightly 
longer than the sepals, oblong-ovate, obtuse, very slightly pubes- 
cent. Stamens about as long as the petals. Fruit ovoid, black 
when dry, about 12 mm long, distinctly reticulate-rugose.

A species manifestly allied to Brucea mollis Wall, and B. luzoniensis 
Vid., closely approaching some forms of the latter. It differs in its larger 
leaflets, longer leaves, much longer inflorescences, and larger fruits, but 
in spite of these different characters may be only a variety of Wallieh’s 
species unusually large in size.
