 laribus, circiter 20 cm longis, anguste pyramidatis; floribus 

 numerosis, graciliter pedicellatis, racemose dispositis, 5-meris, 

 1.5 mm diametro. 



A shrub, said by the collector to be about 2 m high, the 

 younger branches, petioles, petiolules, costa and nerves on the 

 lower surface, and inflorescences densely cupreous-lepidote. 

 Leaves alternate, about 30 cm long; leaflets 7, oblong, rather 

 pale when dry, coriaceous, both surfaces minutely puncticulate, 

 10 to 13 cm long, 2.5 to 5.5 cm wide, apex shortly acuminate, 

 base acute to obtuse; lateral nerves 10 on each side of the mid- 

 rib, prominent, curved, evanescent, the reticulations obsolete; 

 petiolules 2 to 2.5 cm long. Panicles axillary, narrowly pyram- 

 idal, about 20 cm long, the lower branches up to 7 cm in length. 

 Flowers numerous, 5-merous, racemosely disposed on the ulti- 

 mate branchlets, 1.5 mm in diameter, their pedicels about 2 mm 

 long, slender. Sepals orbicular-obovate, 1 mm in diameter, 

 rounded, stellate-lepidote. Petals 5, free, 1.5 mm long, rounded. 

 Staminal-tube turbinate, 1 mm in diameter, truncate, 0.6 mm 

 long. Anthers 5, 0.6 mm long, inserted on the edge of the tube.

This species in its indumentum, its oblong, coriaceous, puncticulate 

 leaves, and its evanescent nerves, the reticulations obsolete, strongly re- 

 sembles Aglaia pyriformis Merr., and is manifestly allied to it. It differs 

 from Aglaia pyriforims in its larger leaves; larger leaflets, which have 

 much longer petiolules; its longer panicle branches; and especially in its 

 more numerous, much smaller, slenderly pedicelled flowers.
