NEW OR NOTEWORTHY PHILIPPINE PLANTS, VII. 271 



inaequaliteralibus, supra glabris ; paniculis folia subaequantibus, multi- 

 floris; floribus minutis, 5-meris, pedicellatis, in ramulis ultimis racemoso- 

 dispositis; fructibus ellipsoideis vol anguste obovoideis, circiter 1.5 cm 

 longis, 1-locellatis. 



A tree 15 to 25 m high, the branchlets, inflorescence, rachia of the 

 leaves, petiolules and under surfaces of the leaflets very densely cupreous- 

 lepidote, shining. Branches rather stout, lepidote, brownish, striate, 

 glabrous. Leaves alternate, odd-pinnate, 30 to 45 cm long, the petiole 

 and rachia cupreous-lepidote, terete; leaflets 9 to 11, alternate, petiolate, 

 firmly chartaceous or subcoriaceoiis, elliptic-oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 

 8 to 15 cm long, 3 to 6 em wide, the apex rather abruptly acuminate, the 

 base very strongly inequilateral, acuminate, the upper surface glabrous, 

 rarely with very few scattered scales, shining, grayish-green when dry, 

 the lower very densely cupreous-lepidote, also shining; nerves 10 to 12 

 on each side of the midrib, straight, rather distinct, obscurely anastomos- 

 ing, the reticulations obsolete; petiolules 1 to 1.5 cm long. Panicles 

 axillary, about as long as the leaves in anthesis, shorter in bud, all parts 

 very densely cupreous-lepidote, shining, many-flowered, the lower primary 

 branches often 20 cm in length. Flowers minute, pedicellate, race- 

 mosely disposed on the ultimate branchlets, their pedicels 1 mm long 

 or less. Calyx obscurely toothed, densely lepidote. Petals 5, orbicular, 

 glabrous, 0.6 mm in diameter or less. Staminal tube obovoid, 0.7 mm 

 long, glabrous, free from the petals, slightly toothed. Anthers 5, in- 

 serted near the apex of the tube, sessile, inflexed, 0.2 mm long. Fruits 

 ellipsoid or narrowly obovoid, 1.5 cm long, densely cupreous-lepidote, 

 shining, 1— celled, 1-seeded.

A species manifestly allied to Aglaia denticulata Turcz., but distinguished by 

 its more numerous leaflets, which are very much more densely lepidote beneath, 

 longer panicles and much smaller flowers. Tagalog (Rizal) Salamongay; Ne- 

 grito (Cagayan) Matanaota ; Ilocano, Sal-lapugud. 



Aglaia everettii sp. nov. § Hcaniia. 



Arbor 10 ad 20 m alta; foliis alternis, circiter 30 cm longis, im- 

 paripinnatis, 2-jugatis, glabris; foliolis oppositis, chartaceis vel sub- 

 membranaceis, in sicco pallidis, nitidis, late ellipticis vel elliptico-obovatis, 

 usque ad 20 cm longis, apice breviter acuminatis, basi rotundatis vel 

 acutis, nervis utrinque 10 ad 14 ; paniculis axillaribus, foliis longioribus, 

 multitloris, plus minus ferrugineo-lepidotis, pubescentibus ; floribus 5- 

 meris, pedicellatis, in ramulis ultimis dense racemose dispositis. 



A tree 10 to 20 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence. Branches 

 terete, light-gray, shining, lenticellate. Leaves alternate, about 30 cm
