ramosi, racemi 9 breviter spicati. Calycis lobi 4-5, rotundi, obtusi, extus 
dense stellato-hirsuti. Petala 3, obovata, crasso-incurvata, glabra. Tubus 
stamineus late cylindricus, glaber, antheris paullo exsertis. Ovarium (fl. 9 ) 
stellato-hirtellum, 3-loculare, in quoque loculo 2-ovulatum, stylo crasso, 
stigmate 3-lobo, tubum stamineum equans. Fructus coriaceus, capsularis,

Hab. Tenom, 700’, in marshy sec. forest. ($ 2808. 9.andfr. Jan. 2801. 
Leaves with the petioles 3-6 dm. long and 1-2 dm. broad, the folioles 
being 13 cm. in length and 5°5 em. in breadth ; the veins, impressed on the 
upper surface, and prominent on the lower, show 7-9 curved and ascending 
veins on each side. The flowers are yellow, the spreading d racemes 5-6 em. 
long and about the same in breadth ; the 9 spikes are very minute, only 
+3 cm. long and occurring in 2 or 3 in the axils of the leaves. The calyx is 
+1 mm. and the petals +3 mm. long, the staminal tube being 2-5 mm. in 
length and 3 mm. broad, with 6 sessile stamens, just visible at the apex. 
The fruit is of a delicate pink colour, 1:5 em. high and 2 em. broad, while 
the seed is +1 em. in length, enclosed in a reddish aril. This plant would 
come into De Candolle's section Pseud-Aglaia, on the strength of the three 
petals and six stamens, with the spikes shorter than the leaves. This species 
is marked by the extreme shortness of the spikes, which are only +3 em. in 
length. In this respect it seems to approach A. herniana, Merrill, though it 
differs in the number of the stamens.
