petiolules stout, densely stellate-tomentose. Panicles axillary, 
about as long as the leaves, densely stellate-tomentose, the in- 
dumentum subcastaneous, peduncled, the branches few, scat- 
tered, spreading, the lower ones up to 16 cm in length. Flowers 
rather densely crowded on the ultimate branchlets, 5-merous, in 
bud about 1 mm in diameter, the calyx externally stellate- 
tomentose, the lobes 1 mm long or less.

The alliance of this species is unmistakably with Aglaia harmsiana 
Perk., from which it differs chiefly in its very much larger leaflets. 
AGLAIA GRAND1FOLIOLA sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 
Arbor parva, partibus junioribus et inflorescentiis dense et 
pallide lepidotis, costa subtus parcissime lepidotis; foliis alter- 
nis, circiter 60 cm longis, foliolis circiter 5, oblongo-ellipticis, 
membranaceis, nitidis, acuminatis, usque ad 30 cm longis; pani- 
culis axillaribus, paucifloris, 5 ad 6 cm longis; floribus magnis, 
5-meris, circiter 5 mm longis ; antheris 8, oblongis, 2 mm longis. 
A small tree, 7 m high fide Ramos, the younger parts densely 
lepidote, the scales appressed, pale, small. Branches terete, 
brownish, smooth, about 5 mm in diameter, ultimately glabrous. 
Leaves alternate, about 60 cm long, the petioles and rachis rather 
densely pale-lepidote, the midrib on the lower surface of the 
leaflets sparingly lepidote. Leaflets about 5, membranaceous, 
brownish-olivaceous when dry, shining, oblong-elliptic, 20 to 30 
cm long, 8 to 10 cm wide, base rounded to acute, that of the 
lateral ones inequilateral, apex slenderly acuminate; lateral 
nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved, 
distant, anastomosing, the reticulations lax, indistinct. Panicles 
axillary, few-flowered, 5 to 6 cm long, densely pale-lepidote, 
the branches few, the lower ones 1.5 cm long or less, spreading. 
Flowers yellow, distinctly large for the genus, about 5 mm long, 
their pedicels short, stout, densely lepidote. Calyx about 3 mm 
long and wide, the lobes broadly ovate, obtuse, about 1.5 mm 
long, externally lepidote. Petals 5, free, obovate, glabrous, 5 
to 5.5 mm long, apex rounded, base narrowed. Staminal-tube 
obovoid, 4 mm long, the anthers 8, oblong, 2 mm long, included. 
Luzon, Tayabas Province, Umiray River, Bur. Sci. 28981 Ramos & 
Edano, June 3, 1917, in forests along the river. 
A strongly marked species, well characterized by its few, unusually large 
leaflets, which are entirely glabrous except for the sparingly lepidote 
midrib; its very short, few-flowered panicles; and its unusually large 
flowers.
