I have some doubt regarding the identification of the above specimens, as the 

 leaves are 4 to jugate instead of 2 to 3 jugate as described by Perkins, while 

 our specimens of No. 422 Ahem have 5 jugate leaves, this number being cited by 

 Perkins in her description of the species. ^

6. A. multiflora Merr. sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 



A tree with alternate 4 to 5 jugate leaves, and large axillary many flowered 

 panicles nearly equaling the leaves, the flowers 3 mm. long, the staminal tube 

 free from the petals. Branches finely and densely brownish gray lepidote. Leaves 

 about 35 cm. long, the rhachis about 23 cm. long, more or less lepidote; leaflets 

 alternate, oblong or oblong ovate, 10 to 14 cm. long, 4.5 to cm. wide, chartaceous, 

 dull, glabrous above, only slightly lepidote on and near the veins beneath, short 

 blunt acuminate, the base usually rounded, often strongly inequilateral; lateral 

 nerves prominent beneath, 9 to 12 pairs; petiolules about 5 mm. long. Panicles 

 20 to 25 cm. long, many branched, the primary branches often 15 cm. long, many 

 flowered, the flowers racemosely disposed, the rhachis, branches, branchlets, short 

 pedicels and calyces more or less brown lepidote, the pedicels about 1 mm. long. 

 Flowers 3 mm. long. Calyx shortly 5 lobed, the lobes acute. Petals 5, glabrous, 

 obong elliptical obtuse, 3 mm. long, 1.5 wide. Staniinal tube free from the petals, 

 ovoid or obovoid, much contracted and nearly closed at the apex, glabrous, 3 mm. 

 long. Stamens 5, inserted below the middle of the tnV)e, included, the anthers 

 1.5 mm. long. 



(1420 Ahern's collector) July, 1904. In forests. T., Malatiimbaya. 



A species in some respects resembling Aglaia macrobotrys Turcz., difl'ering from 

 that species especially in its flowers which are about twice as large. Somewhat 

 resembling Aglaia turczaninoicii C. DC, but the staminal tube not at all imited 

 with the corolla.

 (094, 1704, 1904 Borden) May to October. In forests 100 to 200 m. Endemic. 



A variable species, to which Amoora Icpidota Merr., must certainly be reduced. 

 The stamens vary from 6 to 10, and frequently the staminal tube is only slightly 

 united witli the corolla.
