5. Aglaia glaucescens, n. sp. King. A shrub : young branches 

 rather slender, the bark when dry cinereous lenticellate ; while young 

 covered with pale rusty minute scurfy tomeiitum. Leaves 7 or 8 in. 

 long, equally or unequally pinnate : leaflets 5 to 8, thinly coriaceous, 

 oblong or elliptic-oblong or obovate-oblong, sub-acute, the base cuneate, 

 both surfaces glabrous, the upper shining, the lower dull and sub-glau- 

 ceous ; main nerves 8 to 10 pairs, ascending, rather straight, slightly 

 prominent on the lower surface ; length 3"5 to 55 in., breadth 1'75 to 

 2 in. (rarely 3 in.), petiolules •36 to "Sin. Panicles solitary, axillary, 

 nearly as long as the leaves, branching from near the base, very lax, 

 few-flowered. Flowers ovoid, "1 in., long, on pedicels about as long as 

 themselves. Calyx of 4 or 5 ovate concave ascending sepals, pubescent 

 externally. Petals 4 or 5, larger than the sepals, thick, elliptic, obtuse, 

 glabrous. Staminal tube neai'ly as long as the petals, cylindric, widen- 

 ing at the sub-entire mouth ; anthers 4 or 5, shortly and bi'oadly ovate,

 rowly cylindric, pubescent, crowned by the glabrous cylindric stigma.

6. Aglaia Scortechinii, King, n. sp. A tree ; young shoots slender 

 and, like the slender petioles, rachises, petiolules and inflorescences, with 

 very minute brown scales. Leaves 6 to 12 in. long, unequally pinnate ; 

 leaflets 7 to 9, the pairs opposite, membranous, lanceolate or oblong- 

 lanceolate, shortly acuminate, much cuneate at the base; both surfaces 

 quite glabrous, pale brown when dry ; the 7 to 10 pairs of main nerves 

 indistinct; length 3"5 to 5 in. Panicles 7 to 9 in., the branches long, 

 divaricating, lax. Flowers depressed-hemispheric, '05 in. in diam., on 

 slender pedicels longer than themselves. Calyx short, spi-eading, with 

 5 deep orbicular concave lobes, lepidote-pubesceut externally. Petals 

 5, orbicular or ovate-orbicular, concave, glabrous, much larger than the 

 calyx. Staminal tube shorter than the petals, widely depressed-cam- 

 panulate, the mouth with several broad much inflexed teeth, glabx'ous ;
