PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 
275 
petiolules densely covered with pale-brown, lepidote, ciliate scales. 
Leaflets alternate, usually 7, membranaceous, ovate-oblong to 
oblong-elliptic, 12 to 17 cm long, 5.5 to 8 cm wide, slightly 
shining when dry, glabrous above, beneath of the same color 
and ciliate-lepidote on the nerves and midrib, and with scattered, 
small scales on the surface, the base of the lateral ones inequi- 
lateral, somewhat acuminate, of the terminal one equilateral, the 
apices somewhat acuminate; lateral nerves 8 to 12 on each side 
of the midrib, prominent; petiolules of the lateral leaflets 1 cm 
long, of the terminal one about twice as long. Panicles lateral, 
about 9 cm long, the peduncle less than 1 cm long, somewhat 
dichotomously branched, the branches spreading, all parts covered 
with small, pale-brown, ciliate-lepidote scales. Flowers about 3 
mm long, racemosely rather densely arranged on the ultimate 
branchlets, their pedicels 0.5 mm long or less. Calyx ciliate- 
lepidote, when spread nearly 2 mm square, the teeth 4, rarely 
5, broadly triangular, acute, less than 0.5 mm long. Petals 4, 
glabrous, elliptic-oblong or oblong-obovate, obtuse, about 3 mm 
long, 2 mm wide, adherent to the staminal-tube in the lower 
one-third. Staminal-tube 2.5 mm long, truncate, glabrous, bear- 
ing 7 or 8 stamens attached at or just above the middle, the 
anthers about 1 mm long, included. Ovary sessile, ovoid, minute, 
pubescent. Fruit unknown. 
Luzon, Province of Cagayan, San Vicente, in dense forests at an altitude 
of about 15 m, For. Bur. 15U97 Bernardo, April 15, 1910. 
A species with somewhat the general appearance of Aglaia hexandra 
Turcz., but with fewer leaflets, much shorter panicles, and quite different 
flowers. According to DeCandolle’s scheme of classification it is much 
more closely allied to Aglaia turczaninowii A. DC., but is entirely different 
from that species. 
AGLAIA CAGAYAN ENSIS sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 
Arbor circiter 7 m alta, partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque 
lepidotis, vetustioribus glabris; foliis usque ad 14 cm longis, 
3- ad 5-foliolatis, foliolis anguste oblongo-ellipticis vel oblongo- 
ovatis, caudato-acuminatis ; paniculis axillaribus, quam folia 
brevioribus, paucifloris; floribus racemose dispositis, longe pedi- 
cellatis, tubo stamineo liber. 
A tree about 7 m high, the branchlets and inflorescence rather 
densely lepidote, the older parts entirely glabrous. Branches 
slender, terete, dark-colored when dry, the branchlets pale. 
Leaves 14 cm long or less, alternate, the rachis and petiole 3 
to 5 cm long; leaflets subcoriaceous, brittle when dry, 3 to 5,
