entire : anthers 5, ovate, large. Ovary rather large, pvibescent, extend- 

 ing much beyond the base of the ovoid glabrous stigma. Fruit (very 

 young) narrowly elliptic, densely scaly like the under surface of the 

 leaflets.

In its leaves this resembles A. latifolia Miq., but the scales on the 

 under surface of this are much larger and more shining. The flowers 

 too of this are much smaller and the calyx and corolla differ. 



13. Aglaia kunstleki. King, n. sp. A tree 30 to 40 feet high ; 

 young branches rather stout and, like the petioles, rachises, petiolules 

 and inflorescences, covered with minute deciduous, brown pubescence 

 and scales. Leaves 18 to 2.5 in. long, unequally pinnate ; leaflets 5 to 13, 

 coriaceous, oblong-oblanceolate to elliptic-oblong, the apices shortly 

 acuminate, the bases usually more or less oblique, rounded or cuneate, 

 the upper leaflets often much narrowed in the lower third : upper sur- 

 face glabrous, pale green, and minutely rugulose when dry, the lower 

 paler, rugulose, and with sparse, stellate, hairy, minute brown scales : 

 main nerves 10 to 14 pairs, faint on the upper, and only slightly pro- 

 minent on the lower surface : length 45 to 7'5 in., breadth 1'75 to 2*75 

 in. Panicles solitary, axillary, branching, many-flowered, 3 to 9 in. lono-. 

 Floioers "08 in. long, globular-obovoid, on pedicels shorter than them- 

 selves. Calyx cupulnr, tapei'iiig to the pedicel, with 5 broad blunt spread- 

 ing shallow lobes, minutely whitish-tomentose with bright i^usty super- 

 ficial stellate-hairy scales. Petals 5, much larger than the calyx, broadly 

 elliptic, concave, blunt. Staminal tube dark-coloured, pale and scarious 

 towards the base, shorter than the petals, globose, glabrous, 5-lobed ; 

 anthers 5, broadly ovate, included. Ovary rusty-pubescent ; stigma thick, 

 short, conical. Fruit globular, slightly depressed at base and apex, densely 

 covered with minute pale buff-coloured hairs, about "8 in. in diam. 

 when dry, pedicel very short.

14. Aglaia homilis, n. sp. King. A shrub or small tree ; young 

 branches stout, rusty puberulous, the bark dark-coloured. Leaves 18 

 to 26 in. long-, unequally pinuate ; leaflets sub-opposite (the upper pair 

 opposite), thinly coriaceous, ohlongto elliptic-oblong, rarely ovate, shortly 

 cuspidate, the base rounded or sub-cuneate ; both surfaces minutely 

 punctulate wh9n dry, tlie upper glabrous except the puberulous mid- 

 rib ; the lower glabrous, the midrib and nerves stellate-pubescent; main 

 nerves 11 to 20 pairs, spreading, prominent on the lower, depressed on 

 the upper surface when dry; length 4 to 9 in., breadth 3-75 to 35 in.; 

 petiohtles "25 to "6 in. Panicles supra-axillary, solitarj', 3 to G in. lone 

 with few-flowered very short branches. Flmvers globular, "05 in. in
