This differs from typical Aglaia in having 7 or 8 stamens, and its 

 stigma is that of Amoora rather than of Aglaia. The inflorescence 

 resembles that of Aglaia argentea, Bl.

Kurz described his Amoora dysoxyloides on scanty specimens col- 

 lected by Sir Dietrich Brandis in Burma. I have carefully dissected 

 flowers from these and 1 find they are those of an Aglaia, and belong 

 to A. anduinanica, Hiorn.
