 bluntly acuminate, the base cuneate, both surfaces glabrous ; main ueives 

 6 to 9 pairs, ascending, faint ; length 2 5 to 3"5 in.; breadth 1"15 to 

 1*6 in., petiolule "25 in. Panicles one or two from an axil, shorter than 

 the leaves, slender, much branched, scaly. Flowers on jDcdicels as long 

 as themselves, depressed-globular, '15 in. in diam. CaZt/a; widely cupular, 

 pubescent and scaly outside, with 4 or 5 broad shallow erect unequal 

 teeth. Petals 4 or 5, larger than the calyx, obovate, the upper half 

 concave, glabrous or puberulous, attached by their bases to the 

 Btaminal tube. Staininal tube depressed-globose, the mouth Nvide and 

 obscurely toothed, puberulous below the anthers inside ; anthers 10, 

 half as long as the tube, ovate, included. Ovary minute, depressed,

Doubtful Species. 



A tree has been collected in Perak both by Mr. Wray and Mr. 

 Kunstler (Collector of the Calcutta Botanic Garden), which I believe 

 to be Aglaia Korthalsii, Miq. The Perak specimens are in fruit only ; 

 and it is only by comparison with Miquel's type specimen of A. Korthal- 

 sii in the Leiden Herbarium (which is in flower only), that I have made 

 the identification. The species closely resembles A. viacrostiyma, King, 

 but has shorter leaves with more slender rachises and petiolules : the fruit 

 is also lai'ger and more obovoid. I have distributed the Perak plant as 

 doubtfully A. Korthalsii, but not having flowers, I do not describe it 

 here.
