OrpER MELIACE. 
Aglaia ferruginea sp. nov. Arbor ramulis juvenilibus 
dense rufo-pubescentibus; foliis longe petiolatis impari- 
pinnatis, 2-jugis. petiolo communi et rhachide stellato-pube- 
scentibus ferrugineis, foliolis breviter petiolulatis submem- 
branaceis ellipticis vel oblanceolatis acuminatis, paniculis 
axillaribus ramulis stellato-pubescentibus ; floribus subsessili- 
bus glomeratis, calyce 5 lobo, lobis ovatis obtusis ; petalis 
5 glabris imbricatis obovatis vel ovatis ; tubo glabro obconico 
crenulato ; antheris exsertis ; ovario ad basem puberulo. 
A small tree about 20 ft. in height with a barrel about 
6 in. in diameter. Young shoots, branchlets, underside of 
leaves, and parts of inflorescence ferruginous pubescent with 
stellate hairs, the indumentum very dense on the young shoots, 
young branchlets, midrib, and primary nerves of the under 
side of the leaves. Leaflets 4 or 5, the lateral ones on petiolules 
of about | line (2 mm.) or less, the terminal ones on petiolules 
of about 4 lines (8 mm.) or less, thin or almost membranous, 
elliptical or oblanceolate, acuminate, the terminal ones nar- 
rowed at the base, margins recurved, lateral nerves numerous 
and parallel, 23-5 in. (6-4-12-8) cm. long, twice to three times 
as long as broad. Panicles in the upper axils, mostly shorter 
than the leaves, the ultimate branches consisting of very dense 
globular, ovoid, or oblong clusters of flowers. Flowers crowded, 
subsessile, globular, about 1 line (2 mm.) in diameter. Calyx 
beset on the outside with brown stellate hairs, divided for 
about two-thirds its length into 5 obtuse, ovate lobes about 
1 mm. long. Petals 5, glabrous, strongly imbricate, obovate 
or ovate, about 1-55 mm. long. Staminal tube glabrous, 
obconical, slightly exceeding 1 mm. in length, crenulate at 
apex, anthers slightly exserted. Ovary (perhaps rudimentary) 
globular, minute, pubescent at base. (Text-figure 2.) 
Hab.: Atherton Tableland, C. T. White (type); also received 
from the District Forest Officer, Atherton, without name of collector. 
This species is distinguished from its nearest Australian ally, Aglaia 
eleagnoidea Benth., by the dense ferruginous hairs of its young shoots, 
branchlets, and under sides of leaves and by the dense globular, ovoid, 
or oblong clusters of flowers on the ultimate panicle branches.
