Among the Philippine species most closely allied to Aglaia everettii 
Merr., but the lepidote scales not at all tomentose. 
DYSOXYLUM Blume 
DYSOXYLUM LONGIFLORUM sp. nov. § EHudysoxylum. 
Arbor parva, partibus junioribus foliisque plus minusve ciliato- 
hirsutis; foliis usque ad 60 cm longis, foliolis 15 ad 19, sub- 
membranaceis, oblongo-obovatis, usque ad 18 cm longis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 13; floribus circiter 2.5 cm longis, caulinis, e 
tuberculis magnis, racemosis (7?) vel fasciculatis (?), petalis 
cum tubo plus minusve connatis, extus in partibus superioribus 
pubescentibus; ovario dense villoso. 
A tree about 7 m high, the younger parts, petioles, rachis, 
midrib on the upper surface, and midrib and nerves on the — 
lower surface more or less ciliate-hirsute. Leaves alternate, 
up to 60 cm long. Leaflets 15 to 19, supbmembranaceous, oblong- 
obovate, subolivaceous, 12 to 18 cm long, 4 to 5 em wide, shortly 
and obtusely acuminate, base narrowed, more or less inequilat- 
eral, acute to subobtuse, the margins somewhat ciliate; lateral 
nerves about 13 on each side of the midrib. Flowers white, 
about: 2.5 cm long, fascicled or in short racemes on large woody 
tubercles on the trunk, the pedicels about 1 cm long. Calyx 
cylindric, 12 mm long, externally slightly pubescent, 3-lobed, the 
lobes broadly ovate, about 3 mm long. Petals about 2.5 cm long, 
the lower 10 mm more or less connate with the tube, about 2 
mm wide, externally distinctly pubescent in the upper part. 
Disk glabrous, cylindric, truncate, free, about 4.5 mm long. 
Staminal tube cylindric, glabrous, about 2.5 cm long, irregularly 
lobed at the apex, the anthers oblong, 1.2 mm long, inserted 
near the apex of the tube. Ovary densely villous, the style 
densely villous in the lower one-half, glabrous above; stigma 1 
mm in diameter. 
Luzon, Province of Cagayan, Pamplona, in forests, Bur. Sci. 7480 
Ramos, March 17, 1909. 
A very characteristic species on account of its unusually long flowers 
which are borne on large woody tubercles on the trunk. It resembles 
Dysoxylum cumingianum in its cauline inflorescence but it entirely different 
in its floral and vegetative characters, while the petals are manifestly 
connate with the staminal tube. 
DYSOXYLUM PALAWANENSE sp. nov. § Hudysoxylum. 
Arbor 10 ad 15 m alta partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 
cinereo-puberulis exceptis glabra; foliis alternis, usque ad 30 
em longis, foliolis 8, coriaceis, oblongis, leviter acuminatis, in 
siccitate utrinque densissime verruculosis, nervis utrinque cir-
