muricata Pierre, l.c. 
A small tree 18 to 30 ft. tall. Leaves 12 in. or more long ; petioles 
tomentose; leaflets 2 pairs, coriaceous elliptic-oblong acuminate, 
base unequal narrowed, edge distantly coarsely serrate; nerves 
about 12 pairs; upper leaflets 10 in. long, 4 in. wide; petiolules 
thick -2 in. long. Panicles 6 to 12 in. long. Sepals oblong lanceo¬

I suppose this specimen (only in fruit) is what Pierre intended, though 
its leaves are quite glabrous, as are petioles and fruit. He describes these 
parts as velvety. The panicle is, however, pubescent.

15 to 18 in. long; leaflets 5 to 9 coriaceous oblong-lanceolate
