leaflets 11 to 13, sub-coriaceous, opposite or sub-opposite, narrowly ob¬ 
long, sub-acute, the base rounded or slightly cuneate, slightly oblique; 
both surfaces glabrous : main nerves 16 to 18 pairs, prominent on the 
rather pale under surface : length 4'5 to 8 in., breadth 14 to 2 in., petio- 
lule *5 in. Panicles solitary, axillary, nearly as long as the leaves, with 
few rather distant lax alternate branches, the ultimate branchlets cymu- 
lose and slightly scurfy. Flowers *15 in. long, sub-rotund. Calyx a flat¬ 
fish cup with 3 broad shallow teeth, minutely tomentose externally. 
Petals 3, longer than the calyx, rotund, concave, much imbricate, minute¬ 
ly pubescent outside. Staminal tube spherical-obovoid, with 10 small 
acute teeth, glabrous ; anthers 10, narrowly elliptic, their apices slightly 
exserted: rudimentary ovary depressed, tawny-pubescent, crowned by 
the thick fleshy 3-grooved stigma. Female flowers mixed with the males 
and exactly like them, but with a pyramidal, prominently 3-angled, 
tawny-pubescent, 3-celled ovary crowned by a stigma as in the male. 
Fruit obovoid, about 2 in. in diam., on a stout peduncle, its surface 
tawny-tomentose. Sphaerosacme spectabilis , Wall. MSS. in Herb. Calc.

There has been some comfusion in dealing with this plant. The 
description above given is that of Wallich’s own specimen (in flower) 
taken from a tree grown in the Bot. Gard., Calcutta, which had origin¬ 
ally been brought from Goalpara in Assam. Fruiting specimens have in 
more recent years been collected in Assam by Mr. Gustav Mann, for 
many years Conservator of Forests in that province. Flowering speci¬ 
mens exactly agreeing with Wallich’s have also been brought from the 
Andaman Islands. Miquel has described (Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. IV, 37) 
under the name Amoora spectabilis , a plant of which he says Sphaero- 
sacme spectabilis , Wall, is the type. But Miquel’s description does not 
fit Wallich’s plant at all. Mr. Hiern, taking Miquel’s name A. spect¬ 
abilis y describes under it a plant from Burmah which is certainly not 
Miquel’s plant: but which may be the same as Sphaerosacme spect¬ 
abilis, Wall.

A tree 30 to 40 feet high; young branches stout, rusty puberulous. 
Leaves 18 to 30 in. long: leaflets 33 to 15, opposite, thinly coriaceous, 
oblong, sub-acute or obtuse, narrowed and oblique at the base, both 
surfaces glabrous; main nerves 8 to 10 pairs, ascending, rather pro¬ 
minent beneath; length 4 to 5*5 in., breadth 1*75 to 2'25 in., petiolule
