40 G. King—Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula . [No. 1, 
Leaves 5 to 14 in. long, equally pinnate, the petioles angled and channelled 
in front; leaflets opposite, 2 or 3 rarely 5 pairs, membranous, oblong- 
lanceolate, shortly and bluntly caudate-acuminate, much narrowed to 
the base; main nerves 7 or 8 pairs, curved, quite obscure on both 
surfaces, length 25 to 4*5 in. rarely 5 in. ; breadth *75 to 1*45, rarely 
1*75 in., petiolules 2 in. Panicles shorter than the leaves, extra-axillary, 
pedunculate, with a few spreading scantily-flowered branches in the 
upper part, or racemose and branched from the base, 1*5 to 4 in. long. 
Flowers *15 in. long, on bracteolate pedicels as long ns or longer than 
themselves. Calyx cupular, much shorter than the petals, glabrous, with 
4 (rarely 5) small teeth. Petals 4, slightly unequal, broadly oblong 
with truncate bases, obtuse, the apex thickened and slightly incurved, 
glabrous or sub-glabrous. Staminal tube shorter than the petals and 
adherent to their bases, widely cylindric, glabrous, the mouth with 
8 broad shallow emarginate teeth ; anthers alternate with the teeth, 
shortly ovate, sub-exserted. Disc fleshy in the fertile female flowers, 
slightly longer than the ovary and lobed ; in the fertile male flower 
shorter and entire. Ovary depressed, pilose ; style cylindric, sparsely 
pilose below; stigma in the fertile female broadly discoid, 5-angled, 
with an annular disc beneath it, in the fertile male cylindric. Fruit 
depressed-globular, glabrous, *5 in. in diam., crowned by the base of the 
style, 4-celled, with 3 or 4 shining black seeds.

In habit this resembles D. arborescens , from which, however, it is 
at once distinguished by its equally pinnate leaves and tetramerous 
flowers. 
4. Dysoxylum interruptum, n. sp. King. A tree 30 to 40 feet 
high; young branches cinereous-pubescent. Leaves 24 to 30 in. long, 
equally pinnate ; leaflets about 10 pairs, membranous, sub-opposite or 
opposite, oblong to elliptic-oblong, shortly and sharply acuminate, the 
base cuneate; upper surface glabrous, the nerves and midrib pubescent; 
lower surface puberulous, the 18 to 24 pairs of straight sub-ascending 
main nerves rather prominent and with long sparse hairs ; length 5 to 
7 in., breadth 2*25 to 2*75 in., petiolules *1 to *2 in. Panicles solitary, 
slightly supra-axillary, with few spreading branches; the ultimate 
brauchlets very short, distant; the flowers ovoid, densely crowded, ses¬ 
sile, *1 in. long. Calyx cupular, pubescent, with 4 or 5 triangular acute 
spreading teeth. Petals 4, longer than the calyx, erect, valvate, ellip¬ 
tic, sub-acute, the sides straight, pubescent outside, puberulous inside. 
Staminal tube shorter than the petals, cylindric, glabrous, the mouth 
with 8 rather broad bifid teeth. Anthers 8, short, elliptic, included. 
Disc shortly cylindric, longer than the ovary, fleshy, glabrous; its
