I am not satisfied that two closely allied species are not united 
under the above, as there is some difference in the number of main 
nerves in the leaflets, those in the specimens of King’s Collector, No. 8462, 
being rather less numerous than in the other gatherings. 
8. Chisocheton erythrocarpus, Hiern in Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind. 
I, 550. A tree; young branches rather stout, densely and minutely rusty- 
tomentose. Leaves equally pinnate, 12 to 15 in. long; leaflets 4 to 6 
pairs, opposite, coriaceous, elliptic-oblong to broadly ovate, shortly 
abruptly and bluntly acuminate, cuneate or rounded at the slightly 
oblique base ; upper surface glabrous except the puberulous midrib ; 
lower softly and shortly rusty-pubescent; main nerves 6 or 7 pairs, as¬ 
cending, curving ; length 2 - 5 to 5’5 in., breadth 1*35 to 2 in., petiolules 
2 in. Panicles clustered towards the ends of the branches, extra- 
axillary, about half as long as the leaves, minutely rusty-tomentose ; 
their lateral branches short, horizontal, cymose. Flowers *45 in. long, 
their pedicels shorter. Calyx cylindric, the mouth truncate, sometimes 
minutely toothed, densely tomentose. Petals 6, longer than the calyx, 
fleshy, narrowly elliptic, blunt, adpressed-sericeous outside, glabrous 
inside. Staminal-tube shorter than the petals and pistil, outside serice¬ 
ous below and glabrous above, inside villous, with 5 or 6 rather deep 
blunt emarginate teeth ; anthers 5 or 6, included, elongate. Ovary 
narrow, pubescent; style tapering ; stigma cylindric, with glabrous cen¬ 
tral mammilla. Fi'uit sub-globose, nearly 2 in. in diam., minutely 
tomentose, blood-red (fide Maingay) when ripe. Seeds ex-arillate, 
flattened, 1 in. long, the testa thick, orange-red. C. De Cand. in Mon.

9. Chisocheton annhlatus, King n. sp. A tree ; leaves 18 to 30 
in. long, the petioles and rachises 4-angled, pubescent; leaflets 4 to 7 
pairs, membraneous, oblong or elliptic-oblong, shortly and abruptly acu¬ 
minate, the base cuneate, both surfaces with very minute pubescence ; 
main nerves 12 to 14 pairs, oblique, rather prominent beneath ; length 
about 9 in., breadth 3 to 3 5in., petiolules *25 in. Panicles solitary, supra- 
axillary, puberulous, about as long as the leaves, with scanty spike-like 
few-flowered branches which become shorter upwards. Flower-buds clav- 
ate, '5 to '6 in. long, contracted into a pseudo-stalk at the base, their true 
pedicels ‘25 in. long. Calyx campanulate, rusty-tomentose outside, 
completely enveloping the petals in bud, with a thickened wavy band
