Apparently more closely allied to the Bornean Aglaia laxiflora Miq. 
than to any other species, but the panicles not long peduncled and much 
shorter than the leaves. 
AGLAIA ILOILO (Blanco) comb. nov. 
Melia iloilo Blanco FI. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 241, ed. 3, 2 (1878) 85. 
Aglaia argentea F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 44; Perk. Frag. Fl. Filip.

Blanco’s specimens were from Arayat, Province of Pampanga, Luzon, 
there known as iloilo. He describes the species as having 12 pairs of 
leaflets, while our material from Arayat bearing the native name iloilo 
has 21 and 28 leaflets, with from 18 to 22 pairs of nerves. The species 
is manifestly closely allied to Aglaia argentea Blume, differing notably 
in the number of leaflets. Blume’s species has at most 15 leaflets, usually 
but 11 while in the typical form the leaflets present but about 16 pairs of 
lateral nerves. In Aglaia iloilo the leaflets are oblong (not linear as 
described by Blanco), up to 20 cm long and 6 cm wide, base cordate, 
the lower surface very densely silvery lepidote. Blume’s species has been 
well figured and described by Koorders and Valeton Ic. Bogor. 1 (1897) #. 73. 
Aglaia iloilo is represented by the following specimens: LUZON, Province
