 Allied to D. amooroides, Miq., wbicli it mucli I'esembles in tbe flowers, but it is much 



more bairy, with brown velvety hairs, and the leaves have more nerves and are narrowed 



at tbe base. 



Aglaia iiTJBRA, 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 cm. lata, 

 superne pilis fasciculatis tecta, subtus nervis borizontalibus 30 elevatis, costa 

 utrinque birta, nervis pilis fasciculatis rufo-brunneis decidviis tectis. Fanicula 

 terminalis, 8 cm. longa, ramis brevibus laxifloris birtis. Flores rubri, pedicellis 

 1 mm. longis hirtis. Sepala brevia, ovata, rotuudata, 5. Petala imbricata, coriacea, 

 elliptica, obtusa, 1*5 mm. longa. Stamina 5, in tubum subglobosum connata, 

 extus glabra, antberis oblongis introrsis, loculis subparallelis hirtis baud exsertis. 

 Ovarium conicum, rugosulum, in gynopboro brevi cylindrico sessile, glabrum. 

 Camp I and Camps I to III, 500 ft. " Dull red." 

 Nearest to A. simpUcifolia, Harms, but distinguished by the very differently shaped 



sessile larger leaves with horizontal nerves covered at first with small tufts of bron'n 



woolly liairs. These soon fall off, leaving tbe 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 glabrous.

 4-6 cm. lata, glabra, tenuiter coriacea, nervis 10 paribus ascendentibus. Flores 

 cymosi, 2-3 in pedunculo glabro 2 cm. longo axillari. Bractem parvae, Aanceolatse. 

 Calyx cupuliformis, lobis 5 ovatis acutis pubescentibus 1 mm. longis. Fetala 

 libera, lanceolata, obtusa, 7 mm. longa, pubescentia. Stamina 10 in tubum connata
