Aglaia palawanensis sp. nov. § Hearnia. 



Arbuscula ca. 5 m alta, raniis petiolis rhachide paniculisque dense fer- 

 rugineo-stellato-pubescentibus ; foliis imparipinnatis, 2-jugatis, usque ad 

 20 cm longis; foliolis elliptico-ovatis, elliptico-lanceolatis vel ovato-lan- 

 ceolatis, acuminatis, subcoriaceis, pallidis, utrinque glabris, costa subtus 

 stellato-pul)escente excepta ; paniculis pyramidato-ramosis, multifloris, 

 foliis subaequantibus ; floribus pedicellatis ; calycibus dense stellato-pu- 

 bescentibus, profunde 5-dentatis; petalis 5. 



A shrub or small tree about 5 m high, the branches, branchlets, petioles, 

 rachis, petiolules, midrib of the leaflets beneath and the inflorescence 

 rather densely stellate-ferruginous-pubescent. Branches slender, terete, 

 brownish. Leaves 20 cm long or less, usually 2- jugate, the rachis, in- 

 cluding the petiole, about 6 cm long; leaflets subcoriaceous, pale when 

 dry, somewhat shining, opposite, the terminal one slightly larger than the 

 lateral ones, elliptical-ovate to ovate-lanceolate, the apex acuminate, the 

 base acute, 7 to 11 cm long, 2 to 3.5 cm wide; nerves about 9 on each 

 side of the midrib, rather distinct beneath, the reticulations faint, 

 petiolules 5 to 7 mm long, that of the terminal leaflet about 1 cm long. 

 Panicles about as long as the leaves, the lower branches 5 to 8 cm long, 

 the upper ones gradually shorter. Flowers white or pale-yellow, pedicel- 

 late. Calyx densely ferruginous-stellate-pubescent, 1 mm long, deeply 

 5-cleft, the lobes about 0.7 mm. long, narrowly ovate, acute. Petals 5, 

 free, concave, glabrous, ovate, obtuse, about 1.2 mm long. Staminal 

 tube truncate, broad, 0.5 mm long, glabrous. Anthers 5, inserted on 

 the margin of the tube, exserted, broadly triangular-ovate, 0.3 mm long.
