Leaves 15 to 20 cm. long, the rhacliis with the petiole S cm. long, densely 

 stellate-rufous-pubescent like the younger branches and inflorescence; leaf- 

 lets oblong to broadly oblanceolate, 7 to 12 cm. long, 2.5 to 4 cm. wide, 

 sharp acuminate, the base acute or subobt use, often inequilateral, the upper 

 surface glabrous except for few stellate hairs on the midrib and nerves, 

 the lower surface pale, uniformly, but not densely ferruginous-stellate- 

 pubescent, the midrib more denselj- so; nerves 12 to 14 on each side of 

 the midrib; petiolules densely rufous-stellate-pubescent, about 2 mm. long, 

 that of the terminal leaflet about 5 mm. long. Panicles 10 cm. long, the 

 lower branches 4 cm. long, the upper ones gradually shorter, the branchlets 

 densely glomerate flowered throughout. Flowers short pcdicelled yellowish 

 brown, fragrant. Calyx stellate-pubescent, 5-cleft, the teeth acute. Petals 

 glabrous, obovate to oblong-obovate, obtuse, 1 mm. long. Staminal tube 

 somewhat shorter than the petals, obscurely 5-toothed, the stamens 5, 

 inserted near the apex of the tube, included, the authors about 0.2 mm. 

 long. 



Type specimen: Island of Masbate (2524 Clark), October, 1004. A 

 species said by the collector to be common in the dense hill forests at 

 an altitude of about 100 m. above the sea, apparently related to Aglaia 

 palemhanica Miq., which has been reported from the Philippines by Perkins,' 

 but difl'ering from that species in its 3-jugate leaves, larger leaflets, 

 smaller panicles, and longer petals. 



Aglaia laevigata, sp. nov. 



A small or mediiun sized, tree, nearly glabrous throughout, the leaves 

 and inflorescence turning black when dry, with 5 to 6 jugate leaves, and 

 long peduncled panicles nearly equaling the leaves, the flowers rather long 

 pedicellate, spicately disposed. Branches brown or black, lenticellate. 

 when young sparingly lepidote, becoming glabrous. Leaves 20 to 28 cm. 

 long, the rhachis with the petiole 12 to 18 cm. long, black, glabrous; leaflets 

 lanceolate to ovate lanceolate, dark when dry, entirely glabrous, sub- 

 opposite, the apex acuminate, the aciunen blunt, the base strongly inequi- 

 lateral, rounded on the upper half, acute on the lower,. 5 to 9 cm. long, 

 2 to 3.5 cm. wide; nerves about 15 pairs, obscure; petiolules 2 to 3 mm. 

 long. Panicles glabrous, 15 to 20 cm. long, the peduncle 5 to 7 cm. long, 

 the branches ascending, the lower ones 5 to 7 cm. long. Flowers numerous, 

 alternate, their pedicels 2 to 4 mm. long. Calyx shortly 5-toothed, the 

 margins slightly ciliate. Petals glabrous, oblong, obtuse, 2.5 mm. long. 

 Staminal tube about 1.6 mm. long, truncate, the anthers inserted below, 

 included, large, ovate, 1 mm. long. Ovary slightly pubescent.

 July. 1903. 



Aglaia pauciflora, sp. nov. § Ilcarnia. 



A tree about 10 m. high, with alternate, 5-jugate leaves, the branches, 

 petioles, petiolules, and midribs of the leaflets more or less densely ferrugi- 

 nous stellate pubescent, the inflorescence of stout, few branched, axillary
