Arbor hirta. Folia 30 cm. longa, rachi dense hirta, foliolis ellipticis acuminatis, 
terminali oblanceolato ad basin angustato, lateralibus 3-16 cm. longis, 4 cm. 
latis, nervis 15 paribus glabris, costa in pagina superiore hirta infra furfuracea

hirtus, bracteis lanceolatis subacutis hirtis. lores pauci, pedicellis brevibus. 
Sepala pubescentia, ovata, triangularia. Petala lineari-oblonga, dimidio inferiore 
connata, obtusa, extus pubescentia. Tubus stamineus cylindricus, longior, 12 mm. 
longus, apice denticulatus. Anthere 10 incluse, lineares, glabre. Discus tubulosus, 
cylindricus, margine ciliato. Ovarium conicum, pubescens. Stylus tubo stamineo 
sequilongus. 
Camp I, 700 ft. 
Allied to D. amooroides, Miq., which it much resembles in the flowers, but it is much 
more hairy, with brown velvety hairs, and the leaves have more nerves and are narrowed 
at the base. 
AGLAIA RUBRA, Ridl., sp. nov. 
Folia subopposita, simplicia, in apice ramorum congesta, tenuiter coriacea, oblanceo- 
lata, acuminata, basi obtusa, sessilia, sicca grisea, 18-24 cm. longa, 4-8 em. lata, 
superne pilis fasciculatis tecta, subtus nervis horizontalibus 30 elevatis, costa 
utrinque hirta, nervis pilis fasciculatis rufo-brunneis deciduis tectis. Panicula 
terminalis, 8 em. longa, ramis brevibus laxifloris hirtis. Flores rubri, pedicellis 
1mm. longis hirtis. Sepala brevia, ovata, rotundata, 5. Petala imbricata, coriacea, 
elliptiea, obtusa, 1'5 mm. longa. Stamina 5, in tubum subglobosum connata, 
extus glabra, antheris oblongis introrsis, loculis subparallelis hirtis haud exsertis. 
Ovarium conicum, rugosulum, in gynophoro brevi cylindrico sessile, glabrum. 
Camp I and Camps I to III, 500 ft. “ Dull red.” 
Nearest to A. simplicifolia, Harms, but distinguished by the very differently shaped 
sessile larger leaves with horizontal nerves covered at first with small tufts of brown 
woolly hairs. These soon fall off, leaving the nerves with a curious undulate appearance. - 
The calyx is also smaller, the petals shorter and wider, the staminal ring is nearly as | 
long as the petals, and the ovary is s glabrous. 7 `
