xi, c, 2 Merrill: Notes on the Flora of Borneo 91 
our Philippine material somewhat in leaf-shape, and in its duller indu- 
mentum, while the flowers are nearly sessile. Other than the three species 
considered above, and S. ferrugineus Benth., represented by Native collector 
690 from near Kuching, there are at least three other distinct species 
represented in our Bornean collections, but the specimens are rather 
inadequate.

FORDIA Hemsley 
FORDIA ANGUSTIFOLIOLA sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra vel subglabra; foliis usque ad 40 cm longis, 
foliolis circiter 17, estipellatis, coriaceis, lanceolatis vel anguste 
lanceolatis, usque ad 14 cm longis et 3 cm latis, tenuiter acumi- 
natis, basi acutis, subtus pallidis, nervis utrinque circiter 8; 
racemis e ramis vetustioribus, usque ad 25 cm longis, multifloris ; 
floribus circiter 1 cm longis, brevissime pedicellatis. 
A nearly glabrous tree. Leaves up to 40 cm long, glabrous 
or nearly so. Leaflets about 17, coriaceous, estipellate, lanceo- 
late to narrowly lanceolate, 10 to 17 cm long, 2.5 to 3 cm wide, 
apex rather slenderly acuminate, base acute, the upper surface 
rather pale when dry, the lower much paler than the upper; 
lateral nerves about 8 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 
curved; petiolules 5 mm long or less. Racemes from the older 
branches, solitary or in pairs, up to 25 cm in length, many- 
flowered, sparingly pubescent. Pedicels about 1 mm long, some- 
what pubescent. Calyx cup-shaped, somewhat inequilateral, 
subtruncate, about 3 mm long and wide, the teeth broad, obscure, 
externally slightly pubescent. Standard externally subferrugi- 
neous-puberulent, about 10 mm long, 6 mm wide, retuse, spread- 
ing or reflexed in anthesis, narrowed below into a short, broad 
claw. Wings narrowly oblong, rounded, as long as the standard, 
about 1.8 mm wide, the claw slender, about 3 mm long; keel up 
to 2.5 mm wide, the claw equalling that of the wings. Stamens 
glabrous, the vexillary one free at the base, united with the 
others above. Ovary linear, minutely appressed-pubescent, nar- 
rowed upward into the slender curved style. Pod flat, about 2 
cm wide, the valves much twisted when dry.
