ramulorum fasciculatis ; ramulis secundariis paucis, patulis, 5 ad 
6 cm longis; floribus paucis, in ramulis secundariis umbellatis, 
longe pedicellatis, 6-meris, petalis sub anthesin reflexis. 
A shrub, quite glabrous, apparently scandent. Branches ter- 
ete, wrinkled when dry, brownish, about 5 mm in diameter. 
Leaves palmately 4- to 6-foliolate, the petioles 5 to 7 cm long, 
base inflated and clasping the stems ; leaflets oblong or narrowly 
oblong, coriaceous, 5 to 7 cm long, 1.5 to 2 cm wide, brown when 
dry, obtuse, base acute, margins entire, the lateral leaflets dis- 
tinctly inequilateral, sometimes even slightly falcate ; lateral 
nerves about 4 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, distant, 
the reticulations very lax, obscure; petiolules 5 to 10 mm long. 
Inflorescence terminal, of about 4 primary branches fascicled at 
the tip of each branchlet, up to 25 cm long, the peduncular parts 
of each primary branch about 15 cm long; secondary branches 
few, spreading, up to 6 cm long, each bearing at its apex a 5- or 
6-flowered umbel, the pedicels about 2 cm long. Flowers 6- 
merous. Calyx disk-like, about 3 mm in diameter. Petals 6, 
ovate or oblong-ovate, acute, reflexed after anthesis, about 3.5 
mm long, 2 mm wide. Filaments 2 to 2.5 mm long, slender; 
anthers about 2 mm long. Ovary very shallow, 6-celled, the top 
distinctly wrinkled when dry, the style less than 1 mm long, 
sulcate.

flowers yellow. 
A very strongly marked species entirely different from all forms known 
to me. It is characterized by its small, narrow, obtuse leaflets, the lateral 
ones being distinctly inequilateral, and its relatively very long, more or 
less divaricate few-flowered inflorescence, its few-flowered long-peduncled 
umbels, and its long pedicelled flowers.

A shrub, apparently scandent, glabrous except the tips of the 
branchlets and the furfuraceous inflorescence. Branches terete, 
grayish-brown when dry, prominently wrinkled, about 5 mm 
in diameter. Leaves 7-foliolate, the petioles about 18 cm long, 
the stipule intrapetiolar, thickly coriaceous, oblong, somewhat
