none have quadripinnate ones, all having hi- or tripinnate leaves or both. Blanco’s 
work shows internal evidence that the various species were described from time 
to time, in a period extending over many years, sometimes from fresh material, 
at other times from dried specimens brought or sent to him by various persons. 
It seems very evident, moreover, that he had no herbarium, so that the probability 
of repetitions was thereby increased. 
As to Stereosperm um seemannii Rolfe, after an examination of several speci- 
mens of each of the numbers secured by Cuming, including the type of S. 
seemannii, I can see no reason for separating it from Radermachera pinnata. The 
type, Cuming 996, and such duplicates of the type number as I have seen, one 
of which is before me, are very fragmentary, with detached leaflets and badly 
insect-eaten flowers, and appear to be in all respects the same as Blanco’s species.

Stereospermum quadripinnatum Naves in FI. Filip, ed. 3, t. 252? 
Arbor glabra, usque ad 20 m alta; foliis tripimiatis, rajiter bipinna- 
tis, 40 ad 50- cm longis; foliolis lanceolatis vel oblongo-lanceolatis, basi 
acutis, apiee eaudato-aeuminatis, ehartaceis, 8 ad 11 cm longis; panicu- 
lis terminalibus, diffusis, folia aequantibus vel longioribus; floribus cir- 
citer 1.5 cm longis. 
A tree glabrous throughout, about 20 m high. Branches terete, 
brown or gray, lenticellate. Leaves tripinnate, rarely bipinnate, 40 
to 50 cm long, the rachis lenticellate; leaflets lanceolate or oblong-lan- 
ceolate, chartaceous, somewhat shining, 8 to 11 cm long, 2 to 3.5 cm 
wide, the base acute or somewhat acuminate, the apex slenderly caudate- 
acuminate, the acumen about 2 cm long, acute; nerves about 12 on each 
side of the midrib, anastomosing, slightly more distinct than are the 
secondary ones and reticulations ; petiolules of the lateral leaflets about 5 
mm long, those of the terminal leaflets 1 to 2 cm long. Panicles ter- 
minal. glabrous, diffuse, equaling or longer than the leaves, the rachis 
frequently lenticellate. Flowers light-purple. Calyx somewhat campan- 
ulate, 4 to 5 mm long, closed in bud, in anthesis shortly and irregularly 
3- to 5-toothed. Corolla 1.5 to 1.8 cm long, the portion within the calyx 
slender, tubular, then abruptly enlarged and tubular-campanulate, some- 
what pubescent on the outside, irregularly lobed. Capsules 45 cm long, 
4 to 5 mm in diameter, somewhat compressed ; seeds, including the wings, 
about 13 mm long.

Allied to the preceding species, but with much more diffuse panicles, and much 
smaller flowers. I am disposed to refer here Cuming 1517, which was from the 
Island of Mindoro, according to Cuming’s list at Kew, not from Batangas Prov- 
ince, Luzon, according to the labels on some of the specimens. It was referred by 
Rolfe to Stereospermum pinnatum F.-Vill., but the sheet at Kew, which I have 
examined, has at least bipinnate leaves, and not pinnate ones as stated by Rolfe, 
and is certainly not the same as Millingtonia pinnata Blanco.
