MERRILL. 
Chisocheton fulvus Merrill sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ramis ramulis petiolis paniculis et subtus foliolis plus 
minus fulvo-pubescentibus vel liirsutis; foliis imparipinnatis, 40 ad 60 
cm longis, ca. 5-jugatis, rhacliidibus dense hirsuto-pubescentibus ; foliolis 
oblongis, usque ad 20 cm longis, submembranaceis, acuminatis, basi in- 
aequalibus, acutis, supra, costa excepta, glabra, subtus plus minus hir- 
sutis; paniculis axillaribus, foliis brevioribus; tloribus polygamo-dioicis, 
4-meris; ovario dense liirsuto. 
A small tree, the branches, branchlets, leaves and inflorescence more or 
less fulvous-pubescent or hirsute. Leaves alternate, odd pinnate, 40 to 
60 cm long, about 5-jugate, the petiole and rachis densely hirsute- 
pubescent; leaflets submembranous, oblong, opposite, 20 cm long or less, 
4.5 to 8 cm wide, the apex rather slenderly and sharply acuminate, the 
base inequilateral, acute, somewhat shining above and glabrous except 
the rather densely pubescent midrib and lateral nerves, beneath hirsute, 
sometimes falcate; nerves distinct, 15 or less on each side of the midrib; 
petiolules 5 mm long or less, densely fulvous-hirsute. Panicles axillary, 
30 cm long or less, narrow, the lower branches 4 to 6 cm long, the rachis, 
branches, branchlets and pedicels densely fulvous-hirsute-pubescent, the 
flowers densely racemose-fasciculately disposed on the ultimate branchlets. 
Flowers about 1 cm long, the calyx cup-shaped, membranous, 2 to '2.5 mm 
long, 2 mm in diameter, slightly hirsute, obscurely toothed. Petals 4, 
narrowly oblong or oblanceolate, glabrous or nearly so, 9 to 11 mm long, 
1.5 to 1.8 mm wide. Staminal tube cylindrical, 8 mm long, glabrous 
outside, somewhat hirsute within, the teeth oblong-lanceolate, 2.5 mm 
long, 0.5 mm wide; anthers 5 or more, alternating with the teeth, 2 mm 
long. Disk none. Ovary ovoid, densely hirsute, 4-celled; style about 
6 mm long, hirsute ; stigma capitate. In the staminate flowers the ovary 
is aborted and a short annular glabrous disk is present. Fruit immature, 
somewhat hirsute.

Aglaia costata Merrill sp. nov. § Hearnia. 
Arbor ca. 10 m alta, ramis foliis paniculisque plus minus brunneo- 
lepidotis; foliis alternis, imparipinnatis, 4- ve! 5-jugatis; paniculis cliffu- 
sis, usque ad 30 cm longis, dense ferrugineo-lepidotis ; tloribus paucis, 
pedicellatis, lepidotis; fructibus ovoideis vel ellipsoideis, 2 ad 2.5 cm

A tree about 10 m high, the branches and branchlets densely brown- 
lepidote. Leaves alternate, 35 to 50 cm long, the petiole, rachis, petio- 
lules and under surfaces of the leaflets more or less densely brown-lepidote ;
