AG LA I A Ml RAN DAE sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 



Species A. stenophyllae Merr. affinis, differt foliolis multo 

 brevioribus latioribusque, usque ad 12 cm longis et 4 cm latis, 

 breviter obtuseque acuminatis, nervis minus numerosis, 10 ad 

 12 utrinque, inflorescentiis dense multifloris, e basi ramosis. 



A small tree about 7 m high, the branchlets, petioles, inflores- 

 cences, and some other parts of the plant rather densely fer- 

 ruginous-pubescent with short stellate hairs. Branches grayish, 

 rather slender, ultimately glabrous. Leaves alternate, about 30 

 cm long, the petiole and rachis ferruginous-stellate-pubescent; 

 leaflets alternate, or the uppermost ones opposite, usually 9, 

 subchartaceous, oblong to somewhat oblong-obovate, 6 to 12 cm 

 long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, pale and shining when dry, the apex 

 obscurely blunt-acuminate, the base acute to rounded, often more 

 or less inequilateral ; nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, 

 slender, not anastomosing, the reticulations nearly obsolete, the 

 midrib on the lower surface ferruginous-stellate-pubescent as 

 are the 2 mm long petiolules. Panicles axillary, 2 to 5 cm long, 

 pyramidal, branched from the base, densely many-flowered, the 

 flowers yellowish, racemosely arranged on the ultimate branch- 

 lets, 5-merous, their pedicels about 1 mm long. Calyx stellate- 

 pubescent, the lobes ovate, obtuse, 0.5 mm long. Petals 5, free, 

 glabrous, elliptic, rounded, about 1 mm long. Staminal-tube 

 depressed-globose, glabrous, free, truncate, about 0.6 mm long, 

 the anthers 5, included. 



Basilan, near Sangal, For. Bur. 18970 Miranda, October 1, 1912, in 

 forests, altitude about 100 meters. 



A species manifestly allied to Afflaia stenophylla Merr. of Samar, 

 differing radically however in its very differently shaped, fewer-nerved 

 leaflets. In its very abbreviated panicles it strongly resembles that species, 

 but here differs in the panicles being very densely many-flowered and 

 branched from the base. 



AGLAIA MYRIANTHA sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 



Arbor parva, partibus junioribus, petiolis, petiolulis et inflo- 

 rescentiis dense pallide stellato-tomentosis ; foliis alternis, cir- 

 citer 45 cm longis, foliolis circiter 15, lanceolatis ad oblongo- 

 lanceolatis, tenuiter acuminatis, basi valde inaequilateralibus, 

 usque ad 11 cm long, in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, nervis utrin- 

 que circiter 12, tenuibus, distinctis; paniculis axillaribus, folia 

 subaequantibus, pedunculatis, multifloris; floribus numerosis, 

 sessilibus, in ramulis ultimis glomeratim dispositis, 5-meris, 

 sepalis extus stellato-tomentosis, circiter 1 mm longis.
