A species probably allied to Aglaia cauliflora Koord., of Celebes, which 
is inadequately described. The Philippine form agrees with Koorders’s 
species in the peculiar character of its cauline inflorescence, which although 
not uncommon in other genera of the Meliaceae, is exceedingly rare in 
Aglaia. It differs in its stellate-tomentose, not lepidote, indumentum, its 
smaller leaves, 7 instead of 5 leaflets, and slightly larger fruits.

Arbor alta, partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque brunneo-pube- 
rulis exceptis glabra ; foliis alternis, circiter 40 cm longis ; foliolis 
10, alternis, oblongis, coriaceis, nitidis, rectis, subaequilateralibus, 
acuminatis, in siccitate brunneis, nervis utrinque 8 ad 11, subtus 
valde prominentibus, reticulis obscuris, tenuibus, laxis; inflores- 
centiis brunneo-puberulis, paniculatis, multifloris, in axillis 
superioribus, circiter 20 cm longis; floribus 4-meris, circiter 7 
mm longis, petalis glabris, liberis; tubo utrinque villoso; ovario 
pubescente ; fructibus 1-locularibus, ad 4 cm longis, valde inaequi- 
lateralibus, apice lateraliter rostratis. 
A tall tree, the younger parts and the panicles appressed 
brown-puberulent, otherwise glabrous. Branchlets less than 1 
cm in diameter, brown, wrinkled, the older parts glabrous. 
Leaves alternate, about 40 cm long, the rachis at first puberulent, 
soon entirely glabrous; leaflets 10, alternate or subalternate, 
oblong, coriaceous, brown when dry, straight, subequilateral or 
entirely equilateral, the apex rather prominently acuminate, the 
acumen blunt, the base rounded to acute or somewhat decurrent, 
the upper surface shining when dry, the lower slightly paler, also 
shining; lateral nerves 8 to 11 on each side of the midrib, promi- 
nent on the lower surface, impressed on the upper surface, not 
anastomosing, the reticulations very slender, lax, obscure, 
often nearly obsolete; petiolules 1.5 to 2 cm long, when young 
grayish-puberulent. Panicles in the upper axils, forming a sub- 
terminal inflorescence, all parts brown-puberulent, about 20 cm 
long, oblong in outline, the lower branches 5 to 7 cm in length, 
the flowers numerous, white, racemosely arranged on the ultimate 
branchlets, 4-merous, their pedicels 2.5 to 4 mm long. Calyx 
disk-shaped or shallowly saucer-shaped, about 3 mm in diameter, 
irregularly but often rather prominently 4-toothed, some of the 
teeth often apiculate-acuminate. Petals 4, entirely free, glab- 
rous, about 7 mm long, 2.5 mm Avide, obtuse. Staminal-tube
