A species probably allied to Aglaia cauliftora Koord., of Celebes, which 

 is inadequately described. The Philippine form agrees with Koorders's 

 species in the peculiar character of its cauline inflorescence, which although 

 not uncommon in other genera of the Meliaceae, is exceedingly rare in 

 Aglaia. It differs in its stellate-tomentose, not lepidote, indumentum, its 

 smaller leaves, 7 instead of 5 leaflets, and slightly larger fruits.

Arbor alta, partibus j unioribus inflorescentiisque brunneo-pube- 

 rulis exceptis glabra ; foliis alternis, circiter 40 cm longis ; foliolis 

 10, alternis, oblongis, coriaceis, nitidis, rectis, subaequilateralibus, 

 acuminatis, in siccitate brunneis, nervis utrinque 8 ad 11, subtus 

 valde prominentibus, reticulis obscuris, tenuibus, laxis; inflores- 

 centiis brunneo-puberulis, paniculatis, multifloris, in axillis 

 superioribus, circiter 20 cm longis; floribus 4-meris, circiter 7 

 mm longis, petalis glabris, liberis; tubo utrinque villoso; ovario 

 pubescente ; f ructibus 1-locularibus, ad 4 cm longis, valde inaequi- 

 lateralibus, apice lateraliter rostratis. 



A tall tree, the younger parts and the panicles appressed 

 brown-puberulent, otherwise glabrous. Branchlets less than 1 

 cm in diameter, brown, wrinkled, the older parts glabrous. 

 Leaves alternate, about 40 cm long, the rachis at first puberulent, 

 soon entirely glabrous; leaflets 10, alternate or subalternate, 

 oblong, coriaceous, brown when dry, straight, subequilateral or 

 entirely equilateral, the apex rather prominently acuminate, the 

 acumen blunt, the base rounded to acute or somewhat decurrent, 

 the upper surface shining when dry, the lower slightly paler, also 

 shining; lateral nerves 8 to 11 on each side of the midrib, promi- 

 nent on the lower surface, impressed on the upper surface, not 

 anastomosing, the reticulations very slender, lax, obscure, 

 often nearly obsolete; petiolules 1.5 to 2 cm long, when young 

 grayish-puberulent. Panicles in the upper axils, forming a sub- 

 terminal inflorescence, all parts brown-puberulent, about 20 cm 

 long, oblong in outline, the lower branches 5 to 7 cm in length, 

 the flowers numerous, white, racemosely arranged on the ultimate 

 branchlets, 4-merous, their pedicels 2.5 to 4 mm long. Calyx 

 disk-shaped or shallowly saucer-shaped, about 3 mm in diameter, 

 irregularly but often rather prominently 4-toothed, some of the 

 teeth often apiculate-acuminate. Petals 4, entirely free, glab- 

 rous, about 7 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, obtuse. Staminal-tube
