leaflets opposite, ol)](mg, subiiiembraiioiis, 12 to 20 cm long, 4 to 8 cm 

 wide, apex acuminate, base acute, inequilateral, rather dull, glabrous 

 above, except the midrib which is lepidote, beneath with scattered lepidote 

 scales, densely lepidote on the midrib; nerves 10 on each side of the 

 midrid, prominent beneath, obscurely anastomosing near the margins, the 

 reticulations netted, indistinct; petiolulcs densely brown-lepidote, ahout 



5 mm long. Panicles oO cm long or less, diffuse, the racliis, branchlets, 

 pedicels and flowers densely brown-lepidote, the lower In-anches frequently 

 15 cm long, the upper ones gradually shorter. Flowers few, three to five 

 on eacli ultimate branclilet, racemosely disposed, the pedicels 3 to 5 mm 

 long. Calyx 3.5 to 4 mm in diameter, the lobes broadly orbicular or 

 reniform, rounded, about 2 mm wide, imbricate. Petals 5, imbricate, 

 coriaceous, concave, glabrous, ovate to orbicular-ovate, about 3 mm long. 

 Staminal tube free, glabrous, short, truncate, about 1.5 mm long, 2 mm 

 in diameter. Stamens 5, inserted on the margin of the tube, exserted, the 

 anthers sessile, broadly triangular-ovate, 1 mm long. Ovary oblong-ovoid, 

 glabrous, 1.5 mm long. Fruit ovoid or ellipsoid, densely and minutely 

 Ijrown-lepidote, 2 to 2.5 cm long, about 2 cm thick, rugose and strongly

A species well characterized by its densely brown-lepidote branches, inflorescence 

 and fruits, the last strongly 10-sulcate. 



Aglaia pallida Merrill sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 



Arbor ca. 25 m alta, plus niiinis stellato-lepidota; foliis alternis, impar- 

 ipinnatis, ca. 40 cm longis, 4-jugatis ; foliolis pallidis, membranaceis, 

 ellipticis vel oblongo-ellipticis, acuminatis, 15 ad 20 cm longis; paniculis 

 majusculis, 40 ad 50 cm longis, diffusis, multifloris ; floribus pedicellatis, 

 racemosis, 5-meris; tubo stamineo libero. 



A tree about 25 m high, the branches glabrous, the petioles, rachis and 

 inflorescence rather densely brownish-lepidote-stellate-pubescent, the lower 

 surfaces of the leaflets with few stellate hairs. Branches terete, light- 

 gray. "Leaves alternate, about 40 cm long, odd pinnate, 4-jugate; leaf- 

 lets pale, membranous, elliptical to oblong-elliptical, 15 to 20 cm long, 



6 to 8 cm wide, the apex acuminate, the base sometimes narrowed, equilat- 

 eral and slightly cordate; nerves 15 to 19 on each side of the midrib, 

 prominent beneath, the reticulations lax, obscure ; petiolules stout, 2 to 3 

 mm long. Panicles diffuse, 40 to 50 cm long, the lower branches about 

 20 cm long, tlie upper ones gradually shorter, rather densely stellate- 

 pubescent, many fiowered. Flowers racemosely disposed on the ultimate 

 Ijranchlets, their pedicels about 1 mm long. Calyx about 1 mm in 

 diameter, 5 -toothed, the teeth rounded, 0.2 mm long. Petals 5, orbicular 

 or broadly-ovate, obtuse, concave, glabrous, 1 mm long. Staminal tube 

 glal)rous, globose or obovoid, 11 mm in diametci-, truncate, free. Aniliers
