6S Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peuiu.inht. 



8. Aglaia leucopuylla, King, u. sp. A tree 40 to 60 feet high ; 

 Jill parts quite glabrous ; young branches rather stout, pale, cinereous 

 ■when dry and slightly rough. Leaves 2 to 3 feet long, unequally pin- 

 nate; the petioles very long, minutely rugulose when dry ; leaflets 11 to 

 13, membranous, the lower alternate and distant, the upper opposite, 

 obloug-lanceolate to elliptic-oblong or ovate, all with acuminate apices 

 and cuneate bases, the lower half sometimes very narrow ; main nerves 

 9 to 15 pairs, spreading, curving, invisible on the ujiper but dis- 

 tinct on the lower surface; length 6 to 12 in., breadth 1*25 to 3 in. ; 

 petiolules '25 to '6 in., slender. Panicles extra-axillary, slender, rugu- 

 lose, the branches spreading but slightly. Flowers "05 to '075 in. in diam., 

 depressed-globular, on pedicels longer than themselves. Calyx much 

 smaller than the petals, pale-coloui^ed, puberulous, with 5 deep acute 

 or sub-acute spreading lobes. Petals 5, dark-coloured when dry (yel- 

 low when fresh), orbicular, concave, glabrous. Staminal tuhe turbinate, 

 the mouth 5- or 6-lobed ; anthers 5 or 6, broadly ovate, the connective 

 slightly apiculate at the apex, the apices bent downwards and not 

 exserted. Ovary broad, depressed, pubescent : stigma broadly ovoid, 

 the apex sub-2-lobed. Fruit (not ripe), obovoid, with depressed sub- 

 bi-lobed apex ; the slightly enlarged calyx persistent at the base, 

 minutely cinereous, tomentose. 



Perak: King's Collector, Nos. 1874, 2998 and 6494. Wray, No. 

 2935. 



There is some diversity in the size of the leaflets and of the flowers 

 of this species. My collector's gathering No. 2998 above-quoted has 

 nari'owly oblong-lanceolate leaflets, and its flowers measure scarcely "05 

 in diam. : while Ihe flowers of No. 1874 are quite "075 in. in diam., and 

 the leaflets of all the other gatherings, except No. 2998, are either elliptic- 

 oblong or ovate. I find that the structure of the flowers is alike what- 

 ever their size may be. 



9. Aglaia cinerea. King, n. sp. A shrub 10 to 15 feet high : 

 young branches petioles, rachises, petiolules and inflorescences with 

 numerous minute brown scales. Leaves 7 to 12 in. long, unequally 

 pinnate : leaflets 5 to 7, alternate and rather distant ; the uppermost 

 pair opposite, thinly coriaceous, oblong- or ovate-lanceolate, often ob- 

 lique, the apex shortly acuminate, the base cuneate, that of the upper 

 three much narrowed in the lower third ; both sui-faces cinereous 

 when dry, the lower paler and sparsely covered with rusty stellate 

 scales ; main nerves 8 to 13 pairs, oblique, rather straight ; length 25 

 to 6 in., breadth 1 to 175 in. ; petiolules -35 to "6 in., that of the odd 

 leaflet sometimes "8 in. Panicles supra-axillary, slender, lax, 5 to 7 in. 

 long, the branches divai'icatiug. Flowers small, '04 in. in diam., globu-
