PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 275 
+ 
petiolules densely covered with pale-brown, lepidote, ciliate scales. 
Leaflets alternate, usually 7, membranaceous, ovate-oblong to 
oblong-elliptic, 12 to 17 cm long, 5.5 to 8 cm wide, slightly 
shining when dry, glabrous above, beneath of the same color 
and ciliate-lepidote on the nerves and midrib, and with scattered, 
small scales on the surface, the base of the lateral ones inequi- 
lateral, somewhat acuminate, of the terminal one equilateral, the 
apices somewhat acuminate; lateral nerves 8 to 12 on each side 
w 
of the midrib, prominent; petiolules of the lateral leaflets 1 cm 
long, of the terminal one about twice as long. Panicles lateral, 
about 9 cm long, the peduncle less than 1 cm long, somewhat 
dichotomously branched, the branches spreading, all parts covered 
with small, pale-brown, ciliate-lepidote scales. Flowers about 3 
mm long, racemosely rather densely arranged on the ultimate 
branchlets, their pedicels 0.5 mm long or less. Calyx ciliate- 
lepidote, when spread nearly 2 mm square, the teeth 4, rarely 
5, broadly triangular, acute, less than 0.5 mm long. Petals 4, 
glabrous, elliptic-oblong or oblong-obovate, obtuse, about 3 mm 
long, 2 mm wide, adherent to the staminal-tube in the lower 
one-third. Staminal-tube 2.5 mm long, truncate, glabrous, bear- 
ing 7 or 8 stamens attached at or just above the middle, the 
anthers about 1 mm long, included. Ovary sessile, ovoid, minute, 
pubescent. Fruit unknown. 
Luzon, Province of Cagayan, San Vicente, in dense forests at an altitude 
of about 15 m, For. Bur. 15U97 Bernardo, April 15, 1910. 
A species with somewhat the general appearance of Aglaia kexandra 
Turcz., but with fewer leaflets, much shorter panicles, and quite different 
flowers. According to DeCandolle*s scheme of classification it is much 
more closely allied to Aglaia turczaninowii A. DC, but is entirely difl'erent 
from that species. 
AGLAIA CAGAYANENSIS sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 
Arbor circiter 7 m alta, partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 
lepidotis, vetustioribus glabris; foliis usque ad 14 cm longis, 
3- ad 5-foliolatis, foliolis anguste oblongo-ellipticis vel oblongo- 
ovatis, caudato-acuminatis ; paniculis axillaribus, quam folia 
brevioribus, paucifloris; floribus racemose dispositis, longe pedi- 
cellatis, tubo stamineo liber. 
A tree about 7 m high, the branchlets and inflorescence rather 
densely lepidote, the older parts entirely glabrous. Branches 
slender, terete, dark-colored when dry, the branchlets pale. 
Leaves 14 cm long or less, alternate, the rachis and petiole 3 
to 5 cm long; leaflets subcoriaceous, brittle when dry, 3 to 5.
