in the Philippines and, like numerous other strongly marked and charac- 
teristic types, is otherwise known only from Celebes and New Guinea. 
AGLAIA PYRIFORM IS sp. nov. § Heamia. 
Arbor parva, partibus junioribus dense cupreo-lepidotis; 
foliis alternis, circiter 20 cm longis, foliolis 7, oblongis, coriaceis, 
usque ad 10 cm longis, acutis vel brevissime acuminatis, basi 
acutis ad obtusis, subaequilateralibus, utrinque minute puncti- 
culatis, subtus ad costa et nervis cupreo-lepidotis, nervis late- 
ralibus utrinque 8 vel 9, perspicuis, curvatis, evanescentibus 
vel obscure anastomosantibus, reticulis obsoletis; paniculis axil- 
laribus, usque ad 18 cm longis, angustis; floribus 5-meris, race- 
mose dispositis, circiter 3 mm diametro ; fructibus anguste 
obovoideis, usque ad 2.5 cm longis, extus dense minuteque cupreo- 
lepidotis. 
A tree about 5 m high, the younger branches, petioles, petio- 
lules, midrib and lateral nerves on the lower surface of the leaf- 
lets, panicles, and fruits densely cupreous-lepidote. Leaves 
alternate, about 20 cm long; leaflets 7, oblong, coriaceous, min- 
utely puncticulate on both surfaces, rather pale when dry, shin- 
ing, 5 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, subequally narrowed to 
the acute or obscurely acuminate apex and to the acute or some- 
what obtuse base, the midrib very prominent on the lower sur- 
face; lateral nerves 8 or 9 pairs, prominent, curved, evanescent 
or obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations obsolete; petiolules 
1 cm long or less. Panicles axillary, up to 20 cm long, narrow, 
the lower branches 3 cm long or less, the flowers racemosely 
arranged on the ultimate branchlets, rather few. Flowers pink, 
5-merous, their pedicels stout, 2 mm long or less. Calyx 2 mm 
long, ovoid, the lobes lepidote, obtuse, coriaceous. Petals 5, 
free, about 2 mm long, oblong-elliptic, rounded. Staminal-tube 
turbinate, free, 1 mm long, about 1.5 mm in diameter, truncate. 
Anthers 5 or 6, inserted on the edge of the tube, inflexed, 0.8 
mm long. Fruits narrowly obovoid, dark-brown when dry, 
rounded, gradually narrowed below, up to 2.5 cm long, externally 
very densely and minutely cupreous-lepidote. 
Luzon, Tayabas Province, Mount Dingalan, Bur. Sci. 26604 Ramos & 
Edano, September 9, 1916, in forests, altitude about 300 meters. 
A most characteristic species, distinguishable by its indumentum; its 
coriaceous puncticulate leaflets; the prominent evanescent nerves; the 
obsolete reticulations; and its dark-brown, pyriform fruits.
