leaflets opposite^ oblong, submembranouSj 12 to 30 cm long, 4 to 8 cm 
wide, apex acuminate, base acute, inequilateral, rather dull, glabrous 
above, except the midrib wliich is lepidote, beneath with scattered lepidote 
scales, densely lepidote on the midrib; nerves 10 on each side of the 
midrid, prominent beneath, obbuurely anastomosing near the margins, the 
reticulations netted, indistinct; petiolules densely brown-lepidote, about 
5 mm long. Panicles 30 cm long or less, diffuse, the rachis, branchlets, 
pedicels and flowers densely brown-lepidote, the lower branches frequently 
15 cm long, the upper ones gradually shorter. Flowers few, three to five 
on each ultimate branchlet, racemosely disposed, the pedicels 3 to 5 mm 
long. Calyx 3.5 to 4 mm in diameter, the lobes broadly orbicular or 
reniform, rounded, about 2 mm wide, imbricate. Petals 5, imbricate, 
coriaceous, concave, glabrous, ovate to or1)icular-ovate, about 3 mm long. 
Staminal tube free, glabrous, short, truncate, about 1.5 mm long, 2 mm 
in diameter. Stamens 5, inserted on the margin of the tube, exserted, the 
anthers sessile, broadly triaugular-ovate, 1 mm long. Ovary oblong-ovoid, 
glabrous, 1.5 mm long. Fruit ovoid or ellipsoid, densely and minutely 
brown-lepidote, 2 to 2.5 cm long, about 2 cm thick, rugose and strongly 
longitudinally 5-sulcate, 5-celled, woody.

Aglaia pallida Merrill sp. nov. § Euaylaia. 
Arbor ca. 25 m alta, plus minus stellato-lepidota ; foliis alternis, inipar- 
ipinnatis, ca. 40 cm longis, 4:-jngatip; foliolis pallidis, membranaceis, 
ellipticis vel oblongo-ellipticis, acuminatis, 15 ad 20 cm longis; paniculis 
mnjusculis, 40 ad 50 em longis, diffusis, muUilloris; iloribus pedicellatis, 
racemosis, 5-meris; tubo stamineo libero. 
A tree about 25 m high, the branches glabrous, the petioles, rachis and 
inflorescence rather densely brownish-lepidote-stellate-pubescent, the lower 
surfaces of the leaflets with few stellate hairs. Branches terete, light- 
gray. Leaves alternate, about 40 cm long, odd pinnate, 4-jugate; leaf- 
lets pale, membranous, elliptical to oblong-ellipti'cal, 15 to 20 cm long, 
6 to 8 cm wide, the apex acuminate, the base sometimes narrowed, equilat- 
eral and slightly cordate; nerves 15 to 19 on each side of the midrib, 
prominonl beneath, the reticulations lax, obscure; petiolules stout, 2 to 3 
mm long. Panicles diffuse, 40 to 50 cm long, the lower branches about 
20 em long, the upper ones gradually shorter, rather densely stellate- 
pubescent, many flowered. Flowers raccmo?ely disposed on the ultimate 
branchlets, their pedicels about 1 mm long. Calyx about 1 mm in 
diameter, 5-toothed, the teeth rounded, 0.2 mm long. Petals 5, orbicular 
or broadly-ovate, obtuse, concave, glabrous, 1 nmi long. Staminal tube 
glabrous, globose or obovoid, 11 mm in diameter, truncate, free. Anthers
