78 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



25. Aglaia MACROsrrGMA, King, n. sp. A tree 40 to 60 feet high ; 

 young branches very stout, lenticellate, puberulous. Leaves 2"5 to 



4 feet long, unequally pinnate, the petioles very long, '3 in. thick, and, 

 like the racliises petiolules and inflorescence, covered with minute brown 

 scales ; leaflets 15 to 17, the pairs opposite or nearly so, membranous, ellip- 

 tic to elliptic-oblong, slightly oblique, shortly and sharply acuminate, the 

 base x'ounded; upper surface everywhere glabrous, the lower glabrous, tho 

 midrib and nerves rugulose and minutely scaly : main nerves 12 to 20 

 pairs, depressed on the upper surface, very prominent on the lower; length 



5 to 10 in., breadth 2 to 4 in., petiolules '5 to "7 in. Panicles axillary, 

 solitary, about 12 in. long (including the long peduncle), the branches 

 rather short, many-flowered. Flowers broadly obovoid, about "08 in. 

 long, on short stout rusty-tomentose pedicels. Calyx half as long as the 

 corolla, cup-shaped, the mouth with 4 unequal broad valvate teeth, 

 rusty-stellate-tomentose externally. Petals 5, glabrous, imbricate, tho 

 two external longer and orbicular, the 3 inner smaller and elliptic. 

 Staminal tube shorter than the petals, cupular, the mouth wide and with 

 8 to 10 lanceolate teeth; anthers 7 or 8, large, elliptic, much exserted. 

 Ovary depressed, 3 angled, 3-celled, yellowish-pubescent, crowned by a 

 glabrous erect fleshy deeply-fluted 3-angled stigma. Fruit elliptic- 

 obovoid, narrowed to a short pseudo-stalk, covered with minute pale 

 scales, 1*5 in. long, and 1 in. in diam. 



Perak: King's Collector, N'os. 6531, 6919, 7559. 



Like A. heteroclita, King, this species has more than 5 stamens, 

 and it has a larger stigma than is usually found in Aglaia. Its inflore- 

 scence is quite that of Aglaia, as also is its fruit. 



26. Aglaia HBrEROCLiTA, King, n. sp. A tree 30 to 40 feet bigh, 

 glabrous except the inflorescence and under surfaces of the leaves. 

 Leaves 18 to 30 in. long, equally or unequally pinnate : leaflets thinly 

 coriaceous, 8 or 9 to 10 or 11, distant, alternate, oblong to elliptic- 

 oblono-, oblique, more or less acuminate, the base cuneate and oblique : 

 both surfaces dull and pale when dry (especially the lower), the 

 upper o-labrous, the lower with sparse minute rusty stellate scales ; main 

 nerves 12 to 16 pairs, spreading, faint on the upper, and only slightly 

 conspicuous on the lower surface; length 4 to 7 in., breadth 15 to 

 275 in. ; petiolules '35 to '75 in., slender. Panicles axillary or terminal, 

 2*5 to 6 in. long, stout, the branches not divaricating, the ultimate 

 branchlets minutely bracteolate, densely flowered. Flowers -125 in. 

 lono-, sub-o-lobular, on thick" pedicels shorter than themselves and with a 

 spono-y epidermis. Calyx fleshy, corrugated, conspicuously pellucid- 

 dotted deeply divided into 5 broad rounded imbricated concave lobes. 

 Petals 5, somewhat longer than the calyx and thinner, not dotted, ellip-
