PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 275 



petiolules densely covered with pale-brown, lepidote, ciliate scales. 

 Leaflets alternate, usually 7, membranaceous, ovate-oblong to 

 oblong-elliptic, 12 to 17 cm long, 5.5 to 8 cm wide, slightly 

 shining when dry, glabrous above, beneath of the same color 

 and ciliate-lepidote on the nerves and midrib, and with scattered, 

 small scales on the surface, the base of the lateral ones inequi- 

 lateral, somewhat acuminate, of the terminal one equilateral, the 

 apices somewhat acuminate; lateral nerves 8 to 12 on each side 

 of the midrib, prominent; petiolules of the lateral leaflets 1 cm 

 long, of the terminal one about twice as long. Panicles lateral, 

 about 9 cm long, the peduncle less than 1 cm long, somewhat 

 dichotomously branched, the branches spreading, all parts covered 

 with small, pale-brown, ciliate-lepidote scales. Flowers about 3 

 mm long, racemosely rather densely arranged on the ultimate 

 branchlets, their pedicels 0.5 mm long or less. Calyx ciliate- 

 lepidote, when spread nearly 2 mm square, the teeth 4, rarely 

 5, broadly triangular, acute, less than 0.5 mm long. Petals 4, 

 glabrous, elliptic-oblong or oblong-obovate, obtuse, about 3 mm 

 long, 2 mm wide, adherent to the staminal-tube in the lower 

 one-third. Staminal-tube 2.5 mm long, truncate, glabrous, bear- 

 ing 7 or 8 stamens attached at or just above the middle, the 

 anthers about 1 mm long, included. Ovary sessile, ovoid, minute, 

 pubescent. Fruit unknown. 



Luzon, Province of Cagayan, San Vicente, in dense forests at an altitude 

 of about 15 m, For. Bur. 15Jf97 Bernardo, April 15, 1910. 



A species with somewhat the general appearance of Aglaia hexandra 

 Turcz., but with fewer leaflets, much shorter panicles, and quite different 

 flowers. According to DeCandolle's scheme of classification it is much 

 more closely allied to Aglaia turczaninowii A. DC, but is entirely different 

 from that species. 



AGLAIA CAGAYAN ENSIS sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 



Arbor circiter 7 m alta, partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 

 lepidotis, vetustioribus glabris; foliis usque ad 14 cm longis, 

 3- ad 5-foliolatis, foliolis anguste oblongo-ellipticis vel oblongo- 

 ovatis, caudato-acuminatis ; paniculis axillaribus, quam folia 

 brevioribus, paucifloris; floribus racemose dispositis, longe pedi- 

 cellatis, tubo stamineo liber. 



A tree about 7 m high, the branchlets and inflorescence rather 

 densely lepidote, the older parts entirely glabrous. Branches 

 slender, terete, dark-colored when dry, the branchlets pale. 

 Leaves 14 cm long or less, alternate, the rachis and petiole 3 

 to 5 cm long; leaflets subcoriaceous, brittle when dry, 3 to 5,
