6. Dysoxylum venulosum, King, n. sp. A tree 50 to 80 feet high ; 
young branches rather stout, angled, puberulous. Leaves 12 to 18 in. 
long, the petiole and rachis angled and puberulous, equally or unequally 
pinnate; leaflets 7 to 14, membranous, alternate, oblong, slightly un¬ 
equal-sided, acuminate, the base much narrowed and oblique; both sur¬ 
faces glabrous, the 13 to 15 pairs of oblique curving main nerves indis¬ 
tinct on the upper, rather prominent on the lower, the veins on both 
surfaces prominent and winged when dry; length 5 to 7 in., breadth 
1*35 to 1*75 in., petiolules '25 in. Panicles extra-axillary, 6 to 8 in. 
long, glabrescent; the branches numerous, short, sub-horizontal, few- 
flowered. Flowers '25 in. long; their pedicels about the same length, 
jointed at the middle. Calyx cupular, with 4 shallow teeth, glabrous. 
Petals 4, much longer than the calyx, densely hairy, puberulous exter¬ 
nally, sparsely so internally, oblong, obtuse, the apex slightly thickened 
and indexed. Staminal tube slightly shorter than the petals, glabrous, 
cylindric, its mouth irregularly and minutely toothed ; anthers 8, oblong, 
inserted below the mouth of the tube. Lise cylindric, fleshy, glabrous, 
about as long as the ovary, the mouth with 4 broad minutely erose 
teeth. Ovary ovoid, hoary-pubescent, tapering into the long cylindric 
sub-glabrous style ; stigma slightly exserted, thickly' discoid with an an¬

7. Dysoxylum thyrsoideum, Griff, ex Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind. I., 547' 
A tree ; leaves 12 to 16 in. long, their petioles and rachises angled: 
leaflets about 8, alternate, coriaceous, elliptic-oblong to elliptic, shortly 
acuminate, slightly narrowed to the oblique base, both surfaces quite 
glabrous ; main nerves 6 to 8 pairs, curved, ascending, slightly depressed 
in the upper and prominent on the lower surface when dry; length 
4'5 to 8’5 in., breadth 1*75 to 3 in., petiolules *3 in. Panicles slightly 
extra-axillary, pyramidal, with stout rachises less than half the length 
of the leaves ; their main branches divaricating, the ultimate racemose ; 
flowers numerous, 15 in. long, their pedicels nearly as long. Calyx one- 
third of the length of the petals, cupular, coarsely and irregularly 
4-toothed, glabrous. Petals 4, oblong, obtuse, glabrous. Staminal tube 
shorter than the petals and attached to them, cylindric, glabrous outside, 
pubescent inside, its mouth with 8 broad sub-crenate teeth ; anthers 
short, ovate, included. Disc tubular, fleshy, hairy, slightly exceeding 
the ovary, truncate. Ovary narrowly ovoid, sub-strigose, 3-celled; 
style cylindric, thick, as long as the staminal tube ; stigma exserted, 
discoid with a basal ring. Fruit (fide Hiern) “ obovoid, fleshy, 2- 3- 
lobed, umblicate, nearly 1 in. long*; fruiting peduncles woody, stout, 
seeds ex-arillate.” C. DC. in Mon. Phan. I., 481.
