5, broadly elliptic, blunt, glabrescent inside, puberulous outside. Sta¬ 
mens 10, shorter than the petals ; the filaments flattened, pubescent, 
faintly united in their lower third but easily separable, inserted outside 
the annular entire glabrous disc. Ovary pubescent, surrounded by the 
disc, ovoid-conic, tapering into the thick glabrous style ; stigma discoid, 
small. Fruit ovoid or ovoid-rotund, minutely puberulous, not apiculate, 
about '65 in. long. C. DC. Monogr. Phaner. I, 636.

3. Walsura Candollei, King, n. sp. A small tree; young 
branches glabrous, lenticellate, dark-coloured when dry. Leaves 4 to 7 
in. long, unequally pinnate; leaflets usually 5, membranous, lanceolate, 
sub-acute, the base rounded ; both surfaces glabrous, the lower pale, 
sub-glaucous ; main nerves 7 to 11 pairs, spreading, curving ; length 2 
to 4 in., breadth *75 to J'2 in., petiolules *2 to '4 in. Panicles puberu¬ 
lous, crowded towards the ends of the branches, axillary, on slender 
pedicels 2 to 3 in. long, corymbosely cymose, about 1*5 in. across. 
Flowers '1 in. long, sub-globular, on pedicels about as long as them¬ 
selves. Calyx of 5, free ovate concave spreading sepals, pubescent 
externally. Petals 5, much larger than the sepals, elliptic-ovate, sub¬ 
acute, puberulous. Stamens 10, the filaments united into a tube in 
their lower third, pubescent, the alternate shorter, all inserted outside 
the thick glabrous annular disc. Anthers attached to the apices of the 
filaments, broadly ovate, short, sparsely pubescent. Ovary pubescent, 
conical, surrounded by the disc. Style short, ob-conical ; stigma conical, 
surrounded at the base by a projecting fleshy annulus. Fruit ovoid- 
globose, with a slightly curved conical apiculus, densely but minutely 
rusty-puberulous, *75 in. long.

This species is allied to W. neurodes, Hiern, from which it differs 
in its more hairy petals and stamens, thicker style, more conical stigma 
and apiculate fruit. I dedicate the species to M. Casimir De Candolle, 
who first detected it as new from fragmentary specimens sent to him by 
the late Mr. Kurz. M. De Candolle did not include it in his Mono¬ 
graph of Meliacese (Monogr. Phaner. Yol. I), but kindly communicated 
the fact of his discovery to me. Specimens since sent to me by the 
collectors of the Calcutta garden confirm the accuracy of his decision. 
4. Walsura hypoleuca, Kurz Rep. Veg. Andam. ed. 2, p. 33. A 
tree 40 to 50 feet high; young branches stout, puberulous, lenticellate. 
Leaves 12 to 14 in. long, glabrous ; leaflets 5, thinly coriaceous, elliptic- 
oblong, sub-acute, the base cuneate; upper surface shining, the lower 
glaucous; main nerves 7 or 8 pairs, ascending, prominent beneath ;
