2. Agelaea everettii sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, ramulis, petiolis, foliolis subtus, inflorescentiisque 
plus minus fen'ugineo-pubescentibus ; foliis alternis, trifoliolatis, racemis 
axillaribus vel extra-axillaribus, fasciculatis, circiter 2 cm longis; stami- 
nibus 10; follicnlis solitariis, oblongis, 1.5 ad 2 cm longis, valde rostratis, 
extus tnberculato-rugosis, pubescentibus. 
A scandent shrub more or less pubescent. Branches and branchlets 
terete, brownish, ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves alternate, trifoliolate, 
15 to 20 cm long, the petiole pubescent, 5 to 6 cm long; leaflets charta- 
ceous, the upper surface glabrous except the somewhat pubescent midrib 
and nerves, the lower surface paler, ferruginous-pubescent, ultimately 
subglabrous, the lateral ones inequilateral at the base, the terminal one 
equilateral, 7 to 15 cm long, 2.5 to 7 cm wide, entire, apex acuminate, 
acumen blunt; nerves 4 or 5 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 
ascending, anastomosing, the reticulations rather lax, distinct; petiolules 
densely pubescent, about 3 mm long. Racemes axillary or extra-axillary, 
about 2 cm long, fascicled, densely pubescent, the pedicels slender, pubes- 
cent, 1 to 2 mm long, the bracteoles densely pubescent, 1 to 1.5 nun 
long. Sepals oblong-lanceolate, pubescent, 3 mm long. Petals glabrous, 
linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 5 mm long, 1 mm wide. Carpels usually 5, 
narrowly lanceolate, pilose, 3 to 3.5 mm long including the styles. 
Stamens usually 10, sometimes fewer, unequal, 1 to 1.5 mm long. Fol- 
licles solitary, oblong, 1.5 to 2 cm long, apex strongly rostrate, the outside 
strongly tubereulate-rugose, densely ferruginous-pubescent; seed ellipsoid 
or narrowly obovoid, black, about 1 cm long. 
Type specimen collected by H. D. Everett, For. Bur. JfSOO, Negros, June, 1906; 
also, represented by For. Bur. J/286, 5570 Everett, May and June, 1906, the former 
from the Guimagaan River, the latter from Cadiz, Negros. Material collected by 
Cuming, no. 907, from the Province of Albay, Luzon, is probably the same, but 
no specimen is available here, although the one in the Kew Herbarium has been 
examined by me. 
Agelaea everettii is apparently closely allied to Agelaea borneensis (Hook, 
f. ) ( Hemiandrina borneensis Hook, f., Agelaea vestita Hook, f.) of the Malay 
Peninsula and Borneo, but is distinguished by its 10 stamens, and less dense 
pubescence, although in the latter character the species seems to vary considerably, 
if all our Singapore specimens are correctly named. In regard to A. borneensis, 
Hooker’s specific name under Hemiandrina is the oldest, and hence must be 
accepted, for the Wallicliian name Gnestis vestita was not published until 1876, 
and then only as a synonym. Gilg and Boerlage maintain Troostivyckia Miq., 
as a distinct genus, although Hooker f. reduced T. singularis Miq., on which the 
genus was based, to Aeglaea vestita Hook. f.
