A tree, the branches rugose, glabrous, the branchlets densely 

 cupreous-lepidote with minute appressed scales, the ultimate 

 branches about 2 mm in diameter. Leaves alternate, 12 to 18 

 cm long, the rachis and petioles very minutely subcupreous- 

 lepidote; leaflets 2 to 5, oblong-ovate to oblong-lanceolate, firmly 

 chartaceous, 8 to 12 cm long, 2.5 to 5 cm wide, the upper surface 

 grayish, somewhat shining, glabrous, the lower somewhat brown- 

 ish, very sparingly lepidote near the midrib and nerves, the 

 base acute, the apex slenderly subcaudate-acuminate ; lateral 

 nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, anastomosing, slender, 

 the midrib impressed on the upper surface, prominent beneath; 

 petiolules 5 mm long or less. Panicles axillary, 8 to 12 cm long, 

 peduncled, lax, few-flowered, the branches spreading, the lower 

 ones up to 6 cm in length. Flowers 5-merous, laxly and race- 

 mosely arranged on the ultimate branchlets, their pedicels 1 to 

 1.5 mm long. Calyx 5-lobed, stellate-pubescent, the lobes ovate, 

 subacute, extending two-thirds to the base. Petals 5, free, 

 subelliptic, about 1.2 mm long. Staminal tube turbinate, gla- 

 brous, 1 mm long, margins crenulate. Anthers 5, inserted on 

 the margin of the tube.

This species is apparently as closely allied to Aglaia sarawakana 

 (A. DC.) as to any other described form, but has more numerous, differently 

 shaped, smaller leaflets, while the sepals are distinctly united for the lower 

 one-third. In facies the species resembles the Philippine Aglaia hizoniensis 

 (Vid.) Merr. & Rolfe, but is not closely allied to this form, which normally 

 has 1-foliolate leaves.

A tree, the branches and leaves entirely glabrous, the inflores- 

 cences minutely, and on the younger parts rather densely.
