British North Borneo, Sebatik Island, Villamil 52, September 26, 1915, 
locally known as miamot. 
Previously known only from the Philippines, where it is widely distributed. 
The specimen is sterile, but is unquestionably identical with the Philippine 
form. Doctor Foxworthy notes that the wood structures is also identical 
with the Philippine form.

CRUDIA TENUIPES sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra ramis ramulisque tenuibus; foliis plerumque 4- 
foliolatis, foliolis alternis, firme chartaceis, oblongo-ellipticis, 
prominente acuminatis, basi acutis ad rotundatis, usque ad 10 
cm longis, nervis primariis utrinque eirciter 7, tenuibus; racemis 
circiter 6 cm longis, floribus longissime tenuiterque pedicellatis, 
pedicellis 2 ad 3 cm longis, sepalis reflexis, oblongo-ovatis, 4 
mm longis, ovario dense ferrugineo-piloso. 
A glabrous tree, the branches and branchlets very slender, 
terete, brownish, smooth, the ultimate branches less than 1.5 mm 
in diameter. Leaves alternate, 15 to 18 cm long, the rachis 4 
to 6 cm long, not produced beyond the last leaflet ; leaflets usually 
4, alternate, oblong-elliptic, firmly chartaceous, glabrous, 7 to 
10 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, apex prominently acuminate, the 
acumen usually about 1 cm long, rather slender, blunt, base 
acute to rounded, upper surface brownish when dry, the lower 
faintly glaucous ; primary lateral nerves about 7 on each side of 
the midrib, slender, anastomosing, scarcely more prominent than 
are the secondary ones and primary reticulations; petiolules 
about 3 mm long. Racemes on the ultimate branchlets solitary, 
opposed to the ultimate leaf, about 6 cm long, the rachis and 
peduncle slender, the pedicels of the flowers very slender, 2 to 3 
cm long, each with a minute bracteole, or its scar, at about the 
lower third or fourth. Calyx-tube nearly 2 mm long, the lobes 
4, reflexed, glabrous, about 4 mm long, oblong-ovate, obtuse or 
rounded, reflexed, brown when dry. Ovary oblong-ovoid, about 
3 mm long, densely ferruginous-pilose, narrowed upward, the
