lobis obtusis; petalis liberis, circiter 1.5 mm longis, tubo turbi- 

 nato, libero. 



A large tree according to Mrs. Clemens, the branchlets and 

 petioles densely and minutely castaneous-lepidote or subfurfura- 

 ceous, the ultimate branchlets 4 mm in diameter or less. Leaves 

 alternate, about 30 cm long; leaflets 9, opposite, firmly charta- 

 ceous to subcoriaceous, oblong to narrowly oblong-obovate, 8 

 to 13 cm long, 3.5 to 4.5 cm wide, the upper surface pale when 

 dry, glabrous, the lower brownish with the costa and nerves 

 conspicuously stellate-lepidote, the indumentum castaneous, with 

 scattered hairs on the epidermis, apex shortly acuminate, base 

 rounded to obtuse; lateral nerves about 25 on each side of the 

 midrib, prominent on the lower surface, the reticulations ob- 

 scure ; petiolules densely and minutely castaneous-lepidote, 5 mm 

 long or less. Panicles axillary, usually about as long as the 

 leaves, peduncled, pyramidal, the lower branches up to 12 cm 

 in length, all parts rather densely stellate-pubescent with short, 

 castaneous hairs. Flowers numerous, brownish-yellow, race- 

 mosely arranged on the ultimate branches, somewhat crowded, 

 their pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. Calyx 2 mm in diameter (spread) , 

 stellate-pubescent, shortly 5-lobed, the lobes broadly ovate, ob- 

 tuse, extending less than one-half to the base. Petals 5, free, 

 glabrous, subelliptic, about 1.5 mm long. Staminal-tube turbi- 

 nate, free, 0.8 mm high, the margins obscurely crenulate. 

 Anthers 5, inserted on the margin of the tube. Rudimentary 

 ovary minutely pubescent.

This species is apparently not closely allied to any of the Malayan 

 species of this section previously described, although somewhat resembling 

 some forms of the Philippine Aglaia harmsiana Perk. Its true alliance 

 is apparently with Aglaia elliptica Blume. 



AGLAIA HETEROPHYLLA sp. nov. § Hearnia.

 acuminatis, basi acutis, supra glabris, in siccitate griseis, nitidis, 

 costa supra impressa, subtus parcissime lepidotis, nervis latera- 

 libus utrinque 10 ad 12, tenuibus; inflorescentiis paniculatis, 

 axillaribus, 8 ad 12 cm longis, pedunculatis, ramis paucis, patulis, 

 paucifloris; floribus racemose dispositis, laxis, 5-meris, calycis
