76 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



Leaves 2 to 3 feet long, the petioles, rachises and petioliiles coyered 

 with minufe harsh tomentum, unequally pinnate; leaflets from 7 to 11, 

 thinly membranous, elliptic-ol)long, acuminate, the base cuneate ; upper 

 Burf.'ice glabrous, pale greenish when dry, the lower surface darker and 

 sometimes with a tinge of purple, very sparsely and minutely stellate- 

 pubescent, the midrib boldly so ; main nerves 20 to 30 pairs, faint on 

 the upper, bold on the lower surface ; length 9 to 15 in., breadth 2*75 

 to o"5 in., petiolules only about "1 in. Panicles everywhere stelhitely 

 rusty-pubescent, slightly supra-axillary, with numerous, many-flowered, 

 spreading branches'. Flowers about "035 in. in diam., depressed-globu- 

 lar, almost sessile, often Avith a few bracteoles at the base. Calyx 

 rotate, with 5 deep broad rounded membranous pubescent lobes. Petals 

 5, broadly ovate to rotund, longer than the calyx, glabrous, concave. 

 Staminal lube shorter than the petals, cupular, sub-entire, glabrous ; 

 anthers 5, ovate, curved, exserted. Ovary small, much depressed ; stigma 

 depressed-spheroidal, vertically grooved. Fruit ovoid or ovoid-globose, 

 tapering at the base into a short pseudo- stalk, densely covered with 

 minute scaly tawny tomentum, 1 in. long, and •75 in. in diam.

This resembles A. tenuicauUs, Hiern ; but it has smaller flower.=i, 

 different calyx and staminal tube and larger fruit. The texture of the 

 leaflets is also thinner and the stellate hairs on their under surface 

 less numerous. 



23. Aglau tbn'UICAULIS, Hiern in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind, I, 556. 

 A shrub or small tree 10 or 12 feet high with a slender stem 2 to 3 in. 

 in diam. Leaves 3 feet or more in length, unequally pinnate ; the long 

 petiole, rachises, petiolules and young branches densely stellate rust}'- 

 toraentose; leaflets membranous, oblong to elliptic, minutely cuspidate 

 to shoi tly acuminate ; the base cuneate, rarely rounded ; upper surface 

 glabrous, the lower sparsely minutely stellately rufous-pubescent ; main 

 nerves 15 to 20 pairs, spreading, obsolete on the upper prominent on 

 the lower surface; length 6 to 12 in., breadth 2-5 to 45 in. ; petiolules 

 •3 to "35 in., stout. Panicles slightly supra-axillary, everywhere densely 

 rufous-pubescent like the petioles, about 12 in. long, with spreading 

 densely-flowered branches, those bearing fiuit only a few inclies long. 

 Flowers '05 in. long, globular, on pedicels longer thnn themselves. 

 Calyx cupular, stellate-pubescent outside, glabrous inside, with 5 deep 

 acute spreading teeth. Petals 5, much longer than the calyx, ovate or 

 sub-obovate, concave, elliptic, glabrous. Staminal tube sliorter thfin the 

 petals, globular, inflated about the middle of the sub-entire mouth, gla- 

 brous except nt the base inside ; anthers 5, short, ovate, included. Ovary
