AGLAIA Ml RAN DAE sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 
Species A. stenophyllae Merr. affinis, differt foliolis multo 
brevioribus latioribusque, usque ad 12 cm longis et 4 cm latis, 
breviter obtuseque acuminatis, nervis minus numerosis, 10 ad 
12 utrinque, inflorescentiis dense multifloris, e basi ramosis. 
A small tree about 7 m high, the branchlets, petioles, inflores- 
cences, and some other parts of the plant rather densely fer- 
ruginous-pubescent with short stellate hairs. Branches grayish, 
rather slender, ultimately glabrous. Leaves alternate, about 30 
cm long, the petiole and rachis ferruginous-stellate-pubescent; 
leaflets alternate, or the uppermost ones opposite, usually 9, 
subchartaceous, oblong to somewhat oblong-obovate, 6 to 12 cm 
long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, pale and shining when dry, the apex 
obscurely blunt-acuminate, the base acute to rounded, often more 
or less inequilateral ; nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, 
slender, not anastomosing, the reticulations nearly obsolete, the 
midrib on the lower surface ferruginous-stellate-pubescent as 
are the 2 mm long petiolules. Panicles axillary, 2 to 5 cm long, 
pyramidal, branched from the base, densely many-flowered, the 
flowers yellowish, racemosely arranged on the ultimate branch- 
lets, 5-merous, their pedicels about 1 mm long. Calyx stellate- 
pubescent, the lobes ovate, obtuse, 0.5 mm long. Petals 5, free, 
glabrous, elliptic, rounded, about 1 mm long. Staminal-tube 
depressed-globose, glabrous, free, truncate, about 0.6 mm long, 
the anthers 5, included. 
Basilan, near Sangal, For. Bur. 18970 Miranda, October 1, 1912, in 
forests, altitude about 100 meters. 
A species manifestly allied to Aglaia stenophylla Merr. of Samar, 
differing radically however in its very differently shaped, fewer-nerved 
leaflets. In its very abbreviated panicles it strongly resembles that species, 
but here differs in the panicles being very densely many-flowered and 
branched from the base. 
AGLAIA MYRIANTHA sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 
Arbor parva, partibus junioribus, petiolis, petiolulis et inflo- 
rescentiis dense pallide stellato-tomentosis ; foliis alternis, cir- 
citer 45 cm longis, foliolis circiter 15, lanceolatis ad oblongo- 
lanceolatis, tenuiter acuminatis, basi valde inaequilateralibus, 
usque ad 11 cm long, in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, nervis utrin- 
que circiter 12, tenuibus, distinctis; paniculis axillaribus, folia 
subaequantibus, pedunculatis, multifloris ; floribus numerosis, 
sessilibus, in ramulis ultimis glomeratim dispositis, 5-meris, 
sepalis extus stellato-tomentosis, circiter 1 mm longis.
