This diffet's ffom its nearest ally A. Grijffithii in its large, irregu- 

 larly lobed, very tomentose calyx, and in its smaller fruit and leaves. 

 I have examined authentic specimens of A. Sipannas, Miq. and of A. rufa, 

 Miq., and I cannot see liow they are to be separated from A. palemhanica, 

 Miq. A specimen in the Leiden Herbarium, collected by Korthals in 

 Sumatra, and named in Miquel's handwriting A. elliplica, Blume, var. 

 Sumatra, ought in my opinion to be referred to this species. The jjlant 

 named by Teys'nann and Biiiniudyk A. iomentosa, and of which Curtis's 

 specimen from Kedah, No. 2520, is an example, has longer leaflets than 

 typical A. palembanica, with more nerves, and more tomentose beneath ; 

 but I think its reduction to this is justifiable. This plant has a wiier 

 distribution than is usual with species of this family, and slight local 

 differences are thus naturally to be expected. 



39. Aglaia cobdata, Hiern in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 557 (excl. 

 var. 2). A tree 20 to 30 feet high ; young shoots, petioles, rachises, 

 petiolules and inflorescence more or less densely clothed with rusty or 

 tawny stellate-tomentum. Leaves 7 to 15 in. long, unequally pinnate ; 

 leaflets 7 to 9, the pairs opposite, rarely sub-opposite, membranous, 

 oblong-oblanceolate, rarely ovate or elliptic, all with shortly acuminate 

 apices, the odd one the largest and much attenuate towards the b'lse, 

 the paired leaflets cuneate, minutely cordate at the very base ; upper 

 surface glabrous, the midrib slightly pubescent; the lower stellate- 

 pubescent, sometimes densely so, the midrib always, and the nerves 

 usually, tomentose ; main nerves 10 to 14 pairs, oblique, slightly 

 depressed on the upper surface when diy and prominent on the lower : 

 length 4 to 6 ia., breadth 1'75 to 2 25 in., petiolules less than 1 in. or 

 absent ; the terminal leaflet larger and with a petiolule '2 to "4 in. lono-. 

 Panicles axillary, solitary, 3 to 6 in. long, the branches spreading, the 

 ultimate branchlets shorter, spike-like, and densely crowded with flowers. 

 Flowers about '35 in. in diam., sub-sessile, otherwise as in those of A. 

 palemhanica. Fruit globular or ovoid, densely covered with deciduous 

 rusty stellate tomentum, '5 to '65 in. in diam. C. DC. in Monogr. 

 Phaner. I, 618 (excl. var. b. calyce glahro).
