mouth with 8 obscure broad blunt teeth. Ovary depressed and broadly 
ovoid, pilose, 3-celled ; style short, stout: stigma thickly discoid with 
an annulus at its base. Fruit unknown. 
Perak : King’s Collector, No. 6349. 
A very distinct species distinguished at once by its small densely 
crowded flowers in interrupted spicate panicles. 
5. Dysoxymjm acctangulum, Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 196,503; 
Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. TV., 26. A glabrous tree, the young branches 
rather stout with pale brown striate bark. Leaves 6 to 12 in. long, 
equally pinnate: the rachis and petiole 4-angled : leaflets 3 or 4 pairs, 
coriaceous, opposite or sub-opposite, unequal-sided especially towards 
the more or less acute base, elliptic or ovate, or sometimes slightly 
obovate, the apex acute or shortly acuminate, both surfaces minutely 
rugulose and of a pale olivaceous colour when dry ; main nerves imper¬ 
ceptible ; length 25 to 4’5 in., breadth 1*25 to 2*2 in., petiolule '2 to ’25 
in. Panicles 2"5 to '4 in. long, spreading, puberulous, Flowers rather 
crowded, 35 in. long. Calyx puberulous, very shallow, with 4 deep 
reflexed triangular teeth. Petals 4, thin, much larger than the calyx, 
oblong, sub-acute, puberulous on both surfaces. Staminal tube a little 
shorter than the petals, cylindric, the mouth with 8 rather deep sharp 
teeth, striate, puberulous on both surfaces; anthers 8, oblong, rather 
small, slightly exerted. Pise widely tubular, slightly exceeding the 
ovary, fleshy, its mouth slightly inflexed, obscurely 8-toothed. Ovary 
adpressed-pubescent, broadly ovoid, tapering into the long style : stylo 
glabrescent in its upper part, adpressed-pubescent in the lower. 
Stigma exserted, shortly cylindric, with a small annulus at its base. 
Fruit obovoid, 3 in. long ; the pericarp very coriaceous, glabrous, pale 
brown when dry and minutely rugulose, 3-celled. Seeds one in a cell, 
ellipsoid and apparently when fresh embedded in pulp. C. DO. in 
Mon. Phan. I., 525. 
Singapore : Ridley, No. 3828. Perak : Scortechini, No. 1048. Dis- 
TRIB. Bangka. 
The late Fr. Scortechini collected only a single specimen of this 
which is in flower, and Mr. Ridley collected it in fruit in Singapore. 
These specimens agree absolutely in their leaves with a specimen from 
Bangka now in the Leiden Herbarium on which Miquel founded the 
species. 
Miquel does not describe the flowers, and the specimen lent to me by 
the Leiden Herbarium has none. In the Leiden Annals, Miquel express¬ 
es a doubt whether this plant may not be Aurantiaceous. The flowers 
(which Miquel had never seen) are however unmistakably Meliaceous, 
and the leaflets moreover are not pellucid-dotted.
