longis, breviter obtuse acuminatis, basi plerumque acutis, leviter 
inaequilateralibus, haud vel obscurissime glandulosis, supra in 
siccitate pallidis, nitidis, glabris, subtus ad costa nervisque lev- 
iter ciliatis, nervis utrinque 6 vel 7, subtus perspicuis; infruc- 
tescentiis axillaribus, solitariis, depauperato-paniculatis, 4 ad 5 
cm longis ; fructibus subreniformibus, glabris, minute apiculatis, 
circiter 8 mm longis, 10 ad 12 mm latis; seminibus solitariis, 
testa extus sericeis. 
A tree about 12 m high, the branches dark reddish brown, 
lenticellate, glabrous, the branchlets ferruginous-pubescent as 
are the petioles and apparently the inflorescences. Leaves co- 
riaceous, elliptic-ovate, 6 to 9 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, shortly 
and rather bluntly acuminate, base acute, usually somewhat in- 
equilateral, eglandular or the glands obscure and not at all pro- 
jecting, the upper surface, except in very young leaves, glabrous, 
pale and shining when dry, the lower somewhat ciliate on the 
midrib and nerves; lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the 
midrib, prominent; petioles 5 to 7 mm long; stipules oblong, 
pubescent, deciduous, about 5 mm long. Xnfructescences axil- 
lary, solitary, from the branchlets below the leaves, 4 to 5 cm 
long, sparingly pubescent, usually with a single basal branch 1 
to 2 cm in length. Fruits subreniform, brown when dry, slightly 
apiculate, glabrous, about 8 mm long, 10 to 12 mm wide, their 
pedicels 3 mm long or less. Seeds solitary, the testa distinctly 
silky-villous.

Pygeum henryi Dunn is the only species of the genus definitely 
known from China, but the present one is entirely different. 
Pygeum latifolium Miq. is recorded from Hongkong by Hemsley 
but Miquel’s species is definitely known only from Java, having 
long been confused with a Philippine species. It is possible 
that the present species is identical with the Chinese form pre- 
viously referred to Pygeum latifolium Miq., but it is safely not 
Miquel’s species.

The genus is new to Kwangtung Province. There seems to 
be some difference of opinion among botanists as to the distri- 
bution of Chinese forms of this genus between Sanguisorba offi-
