longis, calycis circiter 8 cm longis; ovulis 2; leguminis suborbi- 
cularibus ad ovatis, usque ad 7 cm longis, basi late rotundatis, 
apice apiculatis, valvis crassis, lignosis ; seminibus solitariis, 
ellipsoideis, exarillatis, 2 cm longis. 
A tree, attaining a height of at least 10 m, glabrous except 
the j'^oung branchlets, buds, and inflorescences, which are rather 
densely ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves up to 30 cm long, the 
rachis extended beyond the distal pair of leaflets; leaflets 7, 
subcoriaceous, oblong to oblong-elliptic, pale when dry, somewhat 
shining, 8 to 15 cm long, 3.5 to 7 cm wide, base acute to rounded, 
apex distinctly acuminate, the acumen usually blunt; lateral 
nerves about 8 on each side of the midrib, distinct on both 
surfaces as are the reticulations; petiolules about 5 mm long. 
Panicles about 16 cm long, densely ferruginous-pubescent, term- 
inal, the primary branches few, the lower ones up to 6 cm long. 
Flowers white, about 2 cm long. Calyx externally densely fer- 
ruginous-pubescent, about 1.5 cm long, the tube broad, up to 8 
mm long and 1 cm wide, the lobes oblong, usually obtuse, about 
8 mm long, slightly pubescent inside. Standard broadly obovate, 
about 2 cm long, the claw stout, 4 *to 5 mm long. Filaments 
glabrous. Ovary stipitate, oblong, very slightly pubescent with 
scattered hairs, soon becoming glabrous, the stipe stout, about 5 
mm long; style glabrous, curved, about 1.3 cm long; ovules 2. 
Pod thick, woody, suborbicular to ovate, up to 7 cm long and 6 
cm wide, base broadly rounded, apex prominently apiculate, the 
valves up to 1 cm in thickness. Seed solitary, ellipsoid, not 
arillate, red, shining, about 2 cm long.

This species closely resembles Ormosia macrodisca Baker, of 
the Malay Peninsula, but the flowers are much larger and the 
single specimen that I have with seeds shows no basal aril. From 
Ormosia paniculata Merr. it is at once distinguished by its en- 
tirely glabrous leaves.
