1. Aglaia ftjsca, n. sp. King. A tree, young branches cinereous, at 

 first covered with a thin layer of deciduous minute pale rusty scurfy to- 

 mentum, afterwards glaberulous. Leaves 6 to 10 in. long, equally or unequ- 

 ally pinnate ; leaflets coriaceous, alternate, sub-opposite (the upper pair 

 opposite) oblong-lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, shortly acuminate or 

 acute, the base cuneate or sometimes rounded; upper surface glabrous and 

 shining; the lower glabrous, minutely punctulate, the midrib rusty-pu- 

 berulous ; main nei'ves 7 to 9 pairs, ascending ; length 2 5 to 4*5 in., 

 breadth 1 to 1'75 in. ; petiolules "35 in., that of the odd leaf (when present) 

 longer. Panicles axillary, solitary, much shorter than the leaves, with 

 rather long peduncles, the branches few, the flowers rather crowded. 

 Flowers globular, '05 in. in diam,, on pedicels rather shorter than them- 

 selves. Galyx of 4 unequal rotiind sepals, scaly externally. Petals 4, 

 rotund, concave, glabrous, larger than the sepals. Staminal tube globular- 

 obovoid, much thickened inside below each anther, glabrous, the mouth 

 small annular, sub-entire ; anthers 4, shortly and thickly ovate, inserted 

 near the mouth. Ovary (rudimentary) pubescent; stigma long, cylindric, 

 glabrous. Frtiit globular with a small apiculus, minutely rusty-tomen- 

 tose, '3 in. in diam. (not ripe), one-celled and one-seeded by abortion. 



South Andaman : King's Collector. 



In the fruit distinct remains of a second cell are found. The species 

 is closely allied to A. fttscescens, but is distinguishable by its thicker 

 narrower leaflets with midribs haiiy below, much smaller flowers, and 

 more globose staminal tube which appears never to have more than 

 4 anthera. Flowers with perfect pistils have not yet been found. 



2. Aglaia odohata. Lour. PI. Coch. Chin. 173. A shrub or small 

 tree ; young shoots slender, rusty stellate-lepidote. Leaves trifoliolate, 

 2*5 to 5 in. long ; leaflets thinly coriaceous, ovate- or obovate-oblong, the
