high. Leaves 12 to 18 in. long, their petioles and rachises rusty- 
tomentose; leaflets 3 to 5 pairs, oblong-oblanceolate or lanceolate, 
cuspidate, slightly narrowed to the cuneate base. Upper surface 
glabrous except the tomentose midrib; under surface rusty-tomen- 
tose, the 16 to 18 pairs of spreading curving main nerves 
prominent. Spikes supra-axillary, solitary, on very long peduncles, 
rusty-tomentose; peduncles 6 to 12 in., the flowering part about 2 in. 
Flowers *5 to ’6 in. long, crowded, subsessile, minutely bracteolate. 
Calyx cylindric, about ‘1 in. long, densely tomentose, the mouth with 
4 minute teeth. Petals 4, oblong, concave at the apex, yellowish, seri¬ 
ceous outside, glabrous inside. Staminal tube shorter than the petals 
and coherent with them below, glabrous, with a few scattered coarse 
hairs near the middle outside, the mouth with 4 broad emarginate 
or erose teeth ; anthers 4, elliptic, included. Ovary ovoid, sericeous;

I, 550. A shrub or small tree; young branches tawny-tomentose. Leaves 
15 to 24 in. long, their rachises tawny-tomentose : leaflets 5 pairs, oppo¬ 
site, with occasionally a terminal odd one, elliptic to ovate, the upper 
occasionally sub-obovate, all shortly acuminate ; rounded at the base, 
or narrowed from above the middle to the sub-acute minutely cordate 
sub-oblique base ; main nerves 15 to 18 pairs, spreading, rather pro¬ 
minent beneath ; upper surface glabrescent, the midrib and nerves 
pubescent; the lower reticulate, sparsely pubescent, the midrib tomen¬ 
tose: length 3 to 9 in., breadth 1*5 to 3 in., petiolules less than *1 in., 
tomentose. Panicles about as long as the leaves, supra-axillary, on 
long drooping tomentose slender peduncles ; the lateral branches few, 
short, densely flowered. Flowers *75 to nearly 1 in. long, on very short 
pedicels, dull red, 4- or 5- merous, clavate in bud, the lower part very 
slender especially in the barren flowers. Calyx short, tubular, the 
mouth entire or 4- or 5- toothed, coarsely pubescent. Petals 5, linear- 
spathulate, concave and thickened towards the apex, longer than, and 
in their lower part coherent with, the staminal tube, pubescent in the 
middle and glabrous on the edges outside. Staminal tube narrow, with 
a few coarse adpressed hairs near the apex outside, the mouth rather 
deeply 3- to 6- toothed, the teeth emarginate or erose. Anthers 3 to 5, 
narrow, elongate, sessile, included or slightly exserted. Ovary sub- 
ovoid, short, sub-glabrous. Style long, slender, adpressed-pubescent
