umbellulis longe pedunculatis ; fruetibus ovoideis, 5 mm longis, 
glabris, 5-carinatis, perspicue 5-sulcatis, pedicellis 1 ad 1.5 cm 
longis. 
An erect shrub about 3 m high. Leaves large, bipinnate, 
the rachis, partial rachises, and leaflets on both surfaces with 
scattered, long, slender, nearly straight spines and with more 
numerous, slender, spreading setae, the spines 3 to 10 mm long, 
the setae 1.5 to 3 mm in length. Pinnae 5- to 9-foliolate, about 
30 cm long; leaflets oblong-ovate, membranaceous, dark brown 
or olivaceous when dry, the lower surface somewhat paler than 
the upper, 9 to 12 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, subsessile, base 
rounded, often slightly inequilateral, apex acuminate, margins 
serrate, the teeth apiculate, the spines few, scattered, and mostly 
confined to the midrib with a few on the primary nerves, fewer 
on the lower surface than on the upper, the setae more numerous 
and scattered all over the epidermis on both surfaces. Inflores- 
cences ample, lax, the ultimate branchlets up to 10 cm in length. 
Umbels subglobose, about 30 fruits in each, the pedicels 10 to 
15 mm long, setose. Fruits ovoid, glabrous, about 5 mm long, 
prominently 5-keeled and deeply 5-sulcate, the depressions broad, 
rounded. 
Kwangtung Province, Chan Tung hill, Levine 3242, October

This species is readily distinguished among its congeners by 
its spiny and setose rachises, partial rachises, leaflets, and in- 
florescences.
