 wide mouth ; anthers 5, short, attached close to tlie mouth of the tube,

A species allied to A. pachyphijlla, Miq., and not easy by descrip- 

 tion alone to be distinguished from that species. An examination of 

 Miquel's type specimen of A. jpachyphylla kindly lent to me by the au- 

 thorities of the Leiden Herbarium shows that the leaves of that are 

 distinctly falcate, while those of this are not: moreover the leaves of 

 A. pachyphyllii taper much more to the apex, and the panicles are more 

 robust, than is the case in this species. The tomeiitum on the under 

 surface of the leaves differs in character in the two species ; and in tiie 

 leaves of A. pachyphylla the midribs of the leaves are raised and ridge- 

 like on the upper sui'face, while these of this species are depressed. 

 The fruit of A. paohyphylla is unknown. 



18. Aglaia Palembanica, Miq. Flor. Ind. Bat., Suppl. 507. A tree 

 10 to 25 feet high ; young shoots, petioles and rachises, petiolules 

 and iiiflorescense densely rusty stsllate-tomentose. Leaves 4 to 9 in. 

 long, unequally pinnate ; leaflets 5 to 9, sub-opposite, membia- 

 nous, oblong-lanceolate to ovate, opposite or sub-opposite, shortly acu- 

 minate, the base cuneate, the terminal and upper pairs of leaflets with 

 bases much narrowed ; upper surface sometimes deciduously lepidote, 

 ultimately glabrous, except sometimes the pubescent lower half of the 

 midrib ; lower surface more or less closely stellate-pubescent, especially 

 on the midrib and 6 to 11 pairs of spreading main nerves; length 15 to 

 5 in., bi-eadth '65 to 1"75 in., petiolules '15 in. Panicles solitary, axilhiry, 

 1*5 to 4 in. long, slender, their branches short and divaricating, beaiing 

 the flowers in dense short spikes. Flowers depressed-globular, about "025 

 in. in diam. Calyx with 5 long narrow acute or sub-acute spi-eading un- 

 equal lobes, some of them occasionally longer than the petals, boldly 

 stellate-tomentose outside, glabrous inside. Petals 5, obovate-elliptic, 

 concave, glabrous. Staminal tube shorter than the petals, glabrous, its 

 mouth truncate entire ; anthers 5, ovate, curved, half-exserted. Ovary 

 large, pubescent, stigma 3-angled. Frtdt ellipsoid (nari'owly so Avhen 

 young), deciduousl}' stellate-tomentose, "75 in. long, and "6 iu. in diam.
