wide, rather pale when dry, the upper surface quite glabrous, 
the lower somewhat paler, and with numerous, scattered, brown, 
lepidote scales that do not cover the entire surface, subequally 
narrowed to the acuminate apex and to the distinctly acuminate 
base, the bases of the lower leaflets distinctly inequilateral; 
lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, obscure; 
petiolules 7 to 10 mm long. Panicles in the upper axils, densely 
brown-lepidote, up to 7 cm long, branched from near the base, 
the branches few, the lower ones 2 cm long or less, the flowers 
few, racemosely disposed on the primary branches. Pedicels 
1.5 to 2 mm long. Calyx densely brown-lepidote, about 2 mm 
long, the teeth 5, ovate, 0.7 mm long. Petals 5, glabrous, oblong- 
obovate, rounded, about 2 mm long. Staminal tube obovoid, 
glabrous, nearly 2 mm long, truncate. Anthers 0.5 mm long, 
sessile, included. Ovary narrowly ovoid, densely brown-lepidote, 
the style glabrous. 
Luzon, Province of Rizal, Siya Bundoc, Loher 5682, June, 1905. 
A species well characterized by its small, few-flowered panicles which are 
densely brown-lepidote. It resembles Aglaia lanceolata Merr., but is en- 
tirely different in its inflorescence, while from Aglaia curranii Merr. it is 
at once distinguished by its lepidote leaves. 
AGLAIA MULTIFOLIOLA sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 
Arbor circiter 15 m alta, partibus junioribus petiolis inflores- 
centiisque densissime cupreo-lepidotis, foliolis subtus dense 
brunneo-lepidotis, nitidis; foliis alternis, usque ad 80 cm longis, 
foliolis 25 ad 29, oblongis vel oblongo-lanceolatis, subcoriaceis, 
supra glabris, usque ad 20 cm longis, acuminatis, basi cordatis, 
plerumque inaequilateralibus, nervis utrinque circiter 20; pani- 
culis axillaribus, pyramidatis, ad 30 cm longis; floribus 5-meris, 
sessilibus, in ramulis ultimis spicatim dispositis. 
A tree about 15 m high, the branchlets, petioles and rachis, 
and inflorescence very densely cupreous-lepidote with closely 
appressed scales. Ultimate branchlets at least 1 cm in diameter, 
cupreous-brown in color, more or less marked with large petiolar 
sears. Leaves alternate, up to 80 cm long, the leaflets 25 to 
29, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, subcoriaceous, 8 to 20 cm long, 
2 to 4.5 cm wide, apex shortly acuminate, base somewhat rounded, 
distinctly cordate, often somewhat inequilateral, the upper sur- 
face when dry olivaceous, slightly shining, glabrous, the nerves 
impressed, the lower surface very densely and uniformly pale 
brown-lepidote, the scales shining, appressed, the midrib and 
lateral nerves somewhat darker colored than the surface; lateral 
nerves about 20 on each side of the midrib, distinct, the reticula- 
tions, entirely obscured by the indumentum. Panicles axillary,
