ceolatis ad anguste lanceolatis, membranaceis, usque ad 22 cm 
longis et 3 cm latis, tenuiter acute acuminatis, nervis utrinque 
numerosis, tenuibus ; inflorescentiis axillaribus, paniculatis, 
brevibus, circiter 5 cm longis; floribus minutis, pedicellatis, 5- 
meris, in ramulis ultimis racemose dispositis, tubo libero; fruc- 
tibus globosis vel ovoideis, 1.5 ad 2 cm diametro, in siccitate extus 
densissime rufo-tomentosis. 
A small tree, the branches slender, grayish, rugose, glabrous, 
the branchlets densely ferruginous or subferruginous-pubescent 
with minute stellate hairs, a similar indumentum on the petioles, 
rachis, inflorescence, and midribs on the lower surface of the 
leaflets. Leaves alternate, up to 40 cm in length; leaflets 9 to 
11, membranaceous, greenish-olivaceous when dry, the lower 
surface somewhat paler than the upper, 12 to 22 cm long, 1.5 
to 3 cm wide, the apex slenderly and sharply acuminate, the 
base acute to rounded, sometimes slightly inequilateral ; primary 
nerves 20 to 25 on each side of the midrib, slender, anastomosing, 
curved; petiolules 2 to 3 mm long. Panicles axillary, solitary, 
about 5 cm long, narrowly pyramidal, the primary branches 
few, the lower ones 2 cm long or less. Flowers white, racemosely 
arranged on the ultimate branchlets, 5-merous, minute, their 
pedicels 2 to 2.5 mm long. Calyx about 1.5 mm in diameter, the 
lobes 0.5 mm long, ovate, obtuse, outside densely stellate-pubes- 
cent. Petals 5, free, elliptic, glabrous, rounded, concave, about 
1.2 mm long. Staminal-tube free, ovoid, truncate, glabrous, 
about 1 mm long, the five anthers included. Fruit globose or 
ovoid, reddish-yellow when fresh, the pulp edible, sweet, when 
dry 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter, the pericarp subcoriaceous, reddish- 
brown, densely and minutely pubescent; seeds usually two. 
oblong, about 1.2 cm long.

damp forests at low altitudes. 
A most characteristic species, readily distinguishable from all described 
forms by its narrow, elongated leaflets and its very short panicles. Ac- 
cording to C. DeCandolle’s arrangment of the species it falls in the group 
with Aglaia llanosiana C. DC., but has little in common with this species 
or any of the others placed with it.
