this species are shortly and broadly triangular ovoid and are inserted 

 on the staminal tube close to its month. The fruits too are different. 



11. Aglaia FoRBESii, King, n. sp. A tree 40 to 80 feet high : 

 young branches slender and, like the angled petioles rachises and petio- 

 lules, densely and minutely rufous-tomentose. Leaves 12 to 15 in. long, 

 equally pinnate ; leaflets 8 to 10, membranous, alternate, rather distant, 

 oblong to elliptic, alternate (the upper pair usually opposite) cuspidate, 

 the base slightly cuneate ; upper surface olivaceoirs when dry, glabrous, 

 minutely rugulose, dull ; the lower rather pale brown, minutely scurfy : 

 main nerves 10 to 13 pairs, oblique, rather stiviight, faint on the upper, 

 bold on the lower surface : length 3"5 to 5'2 in., breadth 1*5 to 2 b in. 

 Panicles axillary, solitary, densely stellate-tomentose, 4'5 to 9 in. long, 

 the branches spreading. Floivers numerous, '08 in. long, ovoid, on 

 pedicels shorter than themselves. Calyx sub-campanulate, densely 

 pubescent outside, glabrous inside, with 5 deep broadly ovate lobes. 

 Petals 5, twice as long as the calyx, orbicular or ovate-orbicnlar, con- 

 cave, glabrous. Staminal tube shorter than the petals, turbinate-globu- 

 lar, the mouth with 5 broad shallow erose teeth, glabrous ; anthers 5, 

 ovate, included or with their apices exserted. Ovary small, depressed, 

 puberulous ; stigma large, fleshy, broadly ovoid. Fruit ellipsoid to 

 ovoid, sometimes slightly gibbous at the base, or narrowly obovoid, not 

 apicnlate, pale yellow when ripe, covered with minute scurfy pul)es- 

 cence, 1 to I"25 in. long, and '7 to '9 in. in diara. when dry ; tlie pedicel 

 short, stout.

 young branches rather stout, the bark striate and densely covered with 

 minute brown scurf-like pubescence. Leaves 15 to 30 in., unequally 

 pinnate, petiole rachis and petiolules minutely squamulose-pubescent : 

 leaflets 11 to 15, distant, alternate except the upper pair which are 

 opposite, coriaceous ; both surfaces minutely rugulose when dry, the 

 upper glabrous and dull, the lower uniformly covered with shining 

 minute pale-edged scales : main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, oblique, little 

 curved, faint on the upper, bold on the lower surface: length 4 to 

 10 in., breadth 175 to 3-5 in., petiolules '25 to '6 in. Panicles axil- 

 lary, solitai y, much branched, spreading, squamulose, angled, many- 

 flowered, 10 to 12 in. long. Flmvers ovoid, "05 in. long, on pedicels 

 shorter than themselves. Calyx cupular, pale-coloured, almost gla- 

 brous, divided to the base into 5 shallow broad blunt lobes. Petals 5, 

 much longer than the calyx, dark-coloured, rotund, unequal, concave, 

 glabrous. Staminal tube shorter than the petals, globose, the mouth
