densely stellate-tomentose, the fruiting racemes 20 cm long or 
less. Fruits obovoid, up to 2 cm long (somewhat immature), 
the pericarp densely stellate-tomentose with pale-brownish 
indumentum, wrinkled when dry, the pedicels stout, 5 mm long 
or less.

neighboring island of Malamaui. MINDANAO, District of Cotabato, For. 
Bur. 14917 Tarrosa, May 31, 1912. Here I also refer tentatively Hallier 
s. n. from Basilan, differing from the type in having a panicled, not 
racemose infructescence. 
Among the Philippine species most closely allied to Aglaia bernardoi 
Merr. from northern Luzon. Its true alliance, however, seems to be with 
Aglaia hemsleyi Koord. of Celebes, differing from that species notably 
in its pale, not ferruginous indumentum. 
AGLAIA VILLAMILII sp. nov. § Huaglaia. 
Arbor circiter 25 m alta, partibus junioribus inflorescentiis- 
que brunneo-lepidotis; foliis circiter 50 cm longis, foliolis 14, 
oblongis, chartaceis, usque ad 15 cm longis, utrinque glabris vel 
junioribus subtus parcissime lepidotis; paniculis terminalibus, 
folia subaequantibus, multifloris; floribus 5-meris, in ramulis 
ultimis subspicatim dispositis, confertis, tubus stamineus liber, 
ovoideus ad obovoideus, ore valde contractus. 
A tree about 25 m high, the younger parts and the inflores- 
cence rather densely brown-lepidote, the scales on the inflor- 
escence dark-brown in color. Branches terete, the ultimate ones 
about 5 mm in diameter. Leaves about 50 cm long, the rachis, 
petioles, and petiolules brown-lepidote. Leaflets 14, oblong, 
chartaceous, 10 to 15 cm long, 4 to 5 cm wide, rather pale when 
dry, the upper surface shining, glabrous, the lower surface 
rather dull, glabrous, or in young leaflets sparingly lepidote in 
the lower part near the midrib, the apex blunt-acuminate, the 
base acute to rounded, somewhat inequilateral; lateral nerves 
about 15 on each side of the midrib; petiolules about 5 mm long. 
Panicles terminal, many flowered, about as long as the leaves, 
the lower branches up to 14 cm in length, the upper gradually 
shorter. Flowers subspicately crowded on the ultimate branch- 
lets, yellow, the pedicels stout, very short. Calyx externally 
densely dark-brown lepidote, short, 5-toothed, about 1.5 mm in 
diameter. Petals 5, oblong-elliptic, obtuse, 2.8 mm long, Stam- 
inal tube ovoid to obovoid, glabrous, free, about 2.2 mm long, 
1.6 mm in diameter, rounded at the apex and contracted to a 
mouth about 0.3 mm in diameter. Stamens 5, wholly included, 
the anthers about 1.2 mm long.
