minusve minuteque stellato-lepidotis ; inflorescentiis axillaris 

 bus, pyramiclato-paniculatis, usque ad 45 cm. longis, breviter 

 pedunculatis, ramis inferioribus circiter 16 cm. longis, multi- 

 floris; floribus 5-meris, breviter pedicellatis ; calyce extus. 

 minute stellato-tomentoso ; petalis liberis, glabris, 1 mm. 

 longis, tnbo turbinate*, glabro. 



A small tree about 4 m. high the trunk about 10 cm. in 

 diameter, the branches, petioles, rachises and inflorescences 

 densely and minutely stellate-lepidote, the indumentum brown. 

 Ultimate branches terete, about 1 cm. in diameter. Leaves 

 alternate, scattered, about 1 m. long; leaflets about 31, alter- 

 nate, chartaceous, oblong, 13 to 22 cm. long, 4 to 7 cm. wide, 

 base somewhat inequilateral, broadly rounded, or the uppermost 

 ones acute at the base, apex prominently acuminate, the acu- 

 men usually acute, sometimes blunt, pale or olivaceous when 

 dry, the upper surface glabrous, shining, the lower densely 

 and minutely fuscous stellate-puberulent on the midrib, and 

 to a less degree on the lateral nerves, with widely scattered 

 stellate scales on the surface; lateral nerves about 20 on each 

 side of the midrib, impressed on the upper surface, very pro- 

 minent on the lower surface, somewhat spreading, curved,, 

 anastomosing; petiolules densely brown-lepiclote-puberulent, 1 

 to 1.5 cm. long. Panicles axillary, solitan r , pyramidal, up to 

 45 cm. long, the lower branches up to 16 cm. in length. 

 Flowers very numerous, 5-merous, yellowish-green, rather 

 laxly disposed on the ultimate branchlets, their pedicels about 

 0.5 mm. long, densely stellate-puberulent. Calyx-lobes 5, 

 broadly triangular, 0.3 mm. long or less, obtuse. Petals 5, 

 obovate to obovate-elliptic, glabrous, 1 mm. long. Staminal- 

 tube turbinate, free, glabrous, 0.5 mm. long, margins crenate, 

 anthers usually 5, sometimes 4, inserted at the margin of the 

 tube between the crenulations.

Among those species of Hearnia previously described this 

 comes closest to Hearnia beccariana, C. DC. = Aglaia bec- 

 cariana, Harms, from which it is at once distinguished by its 

 much longer leaves, its much larger leaflets and its uniformly 

 dense, brown, stellate-puberulent indumentum on the branches, 

 petioles, rachises, petiolules, midribs on the lower surface of 

 the leaves, and inflorescences.
