Stamens 5, inserted on the base of the tube, included, the anthers 
0.5 mm long. Fruit unknown.

17580 Curran, November, 1909, on dry forested ridges at an altitude of 
about 700 m. 
A species well characterized by its lanceolate leaflets, its small ciliate- 
lepidote scales on the inflorescence, petioles, etc., its spicately arranged, 
sessile or subsessile flowers, and very short staminal-tube. According to De- 
Candolle*s scheme of classification it seems to be allied to Aglaia llanoaiana 
C. DC, but in all respects is quite different from that species.

AGLAIA DIFFUSA sp. nov. § Hearnia, 
Arbor cireiter 25 m alta, infloreseentiis exceptis glabra ; f oliis 
alternis, imparipinnatis, 3-jugatis, vix 30 cm longis; foliolis 
lanceolatis vel elliptico-lanceolatis, utrinque acuminatis aequi- 
lateralibusque, usque ad 14 cm longis, nervis utrinque cireiter 
10; paniculis axillaribus, folia aequantibus, diffusis, multifloris, 
ramis primariis patulis, usque ad 15 cm longis, plus minusve 
lepidotis vel puberulis; floribus 5-meris, pedicellatis, racemose 
dispositis. 
A tree about 25 'm high, glabrous except the somewhat lepidote 
and puberulent inflorescence. Branches terete, brownish, gla- 
brous, the ultimate ones 4 mm in diameter or less. Leaves 
alternate, less than 30 cm long, the petiole and rachis 10 to 13 
cm long. Leaflets 7, the lateral ones opposite, lanceolate or 
elliptic-lanceolate, 9 to 14 cm long, 2 to 4 cm wide, narrowed 
and acuminate at both ends, rather pale and somewhat shining 
when dry, of about the same color on both surfaces, glabrous, 
or the midrib beneath with few, small scales; nerves about 10 
on each side of the midrib, slender, not very prominent, the 
reticulations lax, subobsolete; petiolules 4 to 6 mm long. Pani- 
cles in the upper axils, usually but one on a branchlet, diffuse, 
about 30 cm long, the lower branches spreading, 15 cm long, 
very many flowered, the rachis somewhat brown-lepidote, the 
ultimate branchlets somewhat brown-puberulent. Flowers yel- 
low, racemosely arranged on the ultimate branchlets, scattered, 
their pedicels 1 to 1.5 mm long. Calyx-teeth 5, broadly ovate, 
obtuse, 0.3 mm long, ciliate. Petals 5, glabrous, oblong-obovate 
to obovate, obtuse, 1.6 mm long, free from the staminal-tube. 
Staminal-tube broadly obovoid, truncate, about 1 mm long and 
1.2 mm in diameter. Stamens 5, inserted on the edge of the 
staminal-tube, slightly inflexed, 0.25 mm long.
