caudate-acuminate, base acute, both surfaces shining, the lower 
a little paler than the upper; nerves 6 to 8 on each side of 
the midrib, not prominent ; petiolules 2 to 3 mm long. Panicles 
in the upper axils, 10 cm long or less, peduncled, with few 
branches, each branch with from 1 to 3 racemosely disposed 
flowers, the pedicels 3 to 10 mm long. Calyx cup-shaped, about 
2 mm in diameter, shallowly 5-toothed. Petals glabrous, orbi- 
cular, concave, 2.5 to 3 mm in diameter. Staminal-tube globose, 
free from the petals, about 2 mm long. Anthers 5, 1.5 mm long, 
included.

AGLAIA CURRANII sp. nov. § Euaglaia. 
Arbor circiter 8 m alta, ramulis petiolis inflorescentiisque 
plus minusve ciliato-lepidotis ; foliis alternis, circiter 30 cm longis, 
imparipinnatis, foliolis utrinque 5, lanceolatis, subcoriaceis, us- 
que ad 11 cm longis, acuminatis, basi valde inaequilateralibus, 
subtus ad costa plus minusve ciliato-lepidotis; paniculis axilla- 
ribus, circiter 12 cm longis; floribus 5-meris, sessilibus vel sub- 
sessilibus, spicatim dispositis; petalis liberis. 
A tree about 8 m high. Branches terete, glabrous, lenticellate, 
brownish, the younger parts more or less covered with minute, 
ciliate, lepidote scales, pale-brownish in color. Leaves alternate, 
about 30 cm long, the petioles, rachis, and petiolules densely 
covered with small, brownish, lepidote-ciliate scales. Leaflets 
usually 11, lanceolate, subcoriaceous, rather pale and of about 
the same color on both surfaces when dry, slightly shining above, 
9 to 11 cm long, 2 to 3 cm wide, the apex prominently acuminate, 
the acumen blunt, the base strongly inequilateral, acuminate; 
nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, slender, not prom- 
inent; petiolules about 1 cm long, that of the terminal leaflet 
about 1.5 cm long. Panicles axillary, ciliate-lepidote, about 12 
cm long, branched from just above the base, the primary branches 
up to 7 cm in length. Flowers spicately disposed on the ultimate 
branchlets, sessile or subsessile, not at all crowded. Calyx 
densely ciliate-lepidote, the teeth 5, ovate, obtuse, ciliate, less 
than 0.5 mm long. Petals 5, glabrous, free from the staminal 
tube, oblong, obtuse, 1.5 to 1.8 mm long (just before anthesis). 
Staminal tube very short, glabrous, 1 mm long or less, truncate.
