bus ; paniculis plerumque axillaribus, laxis, usque ad 12 cm longis ; 
floribus 5-meris, in ramulis ultimis racemose dispositis. 
A small tree, about 5 m high, younger parts of the branchlets, 
petioles, and inflorescences densely and minutely subcupreous- 
lepidote, the leaflets entirely glabrous. Branches terete, brown- 
ish, glabrous. Leaves alternate, 14 to 18 cm long, the leaflets 
5 or 7, opposite or subopposite, subcoriaceous, oblong-obovate 
to broadly oblong-oblanceolate, 6 to 9 cm long, 1.5 to 3.5 cm' 
wide, apex prominently subcaudate-acuminate, the acumen blunt, 
gradually narrowed from above the middle to the attenuate or 
cuneate base, the upper surface smooth, grayish-olivaceous when 
dry, shining, the lower slightly brownish; lateral nerves 8 or 
9 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved, anastomosing, 
the reticulations lax, prominent on the lower surface; petiolules 
3 to 5 mm long. Panicles mostly axillary, peduncled, up to 12 
cm long, lax, the branches few, spreading, the lower ones up 
to 4 cm long, the flowers rather numerous, laxly racemose-cymose 
on the ultimate branchlets, their pedicels jointed, 1 to 2 mm long. 
Calyx ovoid, about 1.2 mm in diameter, lepidote, the lobes 5, 
short, rounded. Petals 5, free, glabrous, orbicular-elliptic, 
rounded, 1 to 1.2 mm long. Staminal-tube free, turbinate, about 
1 mm long, the margin crenulate. Anthers 5 or 6, suborbicular, 
0.2 mm long, inserted at the apex of the tube, alternate with the 
short teeth, inflexed. 
Samar, Catubig River, Camaniwan, Bur. Sci. 2^197 Ramos, February 8, 
1916, in forests at low altitudes, flowers white. 
A species belonging in the same group with Aglaia o.jjinis Merr. and 
A. diffusa Merr., differing from the former in its glabrous branches and 
prominently nerved, differently shaped leaflets. It is readily distinguish- 
able from Aglaia diffusa Merr. by its prominent reticulations, and differs 
also in numerous other characters.
