citer 10; inflorescentiis axillaribus, simplicibus, spiciformis, 
usque ad 18 cm longis; floribus 4-meris, circiter 6 mm longis, 
fasciculatis, extus puberulis, breviter pedicellatis ; tubus stami- 
neus liber ; ovario puberulo. 
A tree 10 to 15 m high, the younger parts and the inflorescence 
cinereous-puberulent. Branches terete, wrinkled, grayish- 
brown, glabrous, the growing parts densely puberulent. Leaves 
alternate up to 30 cm long, glabrous, or the very young ones 
more or less puberulent; leaflets usually 8, coriaceous, brittle, 
in general oblong, 9 to 11 cm long, 3.5 to 4.5 cm wide, acuminate, 
base mostly acute, usually more or less inequilateral, when dry 
brownish, dull, both surfaces minutely and densely verruculose ; 
lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, 
the reticulations nearly obsolete. Inflorescence cinereous-puber- 
ulent, spiciform, up to 18 cm long, solitary, axillary, the flowers 
fascicled at the nodes, very shortly pedicellate, yellow or green- 
ish-yellow. Calyx puberulent, shallow, about 1.6 mm in diame- 
ter, shallowly 4-toothed. Petals 4, oblong, free, about 6 mm 
long, 2 to 2.5 mm wide, externally slightly puberulent. Staminal 
tube cylindric, glabrous, free, truncate, 5 mm long. Anthers 
8, 1 mm long, oblong, included. Disk shallow, about 1 mm high, 
1.5 mm in diameter, truncate, glabrous. Ovary ovoid, 4-celled, 
puberulent; style about 3 mm long, glabrous or nearly so.

In vegetative characters this species closely resembles Dysoxylum ver- 
ruculosum Merr., but its calyx is entirely different. It belongs in the 
group with Dysoxylum, vrieseanum C. DC., but is quite different from it 
and the other species placed here.
