cles often longer than the leaves, lax. Flowers *1 in. long, on pedicels of 
about the same length, glabrous. Calyx with 5 deep'[elliptic lobes. 
Petals unequal, orbicular or sub-orbicular. Staminal tube campanulate,

3. Aglaia oligophylla, Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 507. A small 
tree 15 to 20 feet high: young branches covered with deciduous cine¬ 
reous scurf. Leaves 5 to 9 in. long, unequally pinnate, the petioles and 
rachises puberulous, soon becoming glabrous ; leaflets 3 to 5, membran¬ 
ous, the pairs opposite, the terminal one the largest, obovate-oblong to 
elliptic, shortly[and often bluntly acuminate, the base cuneate, sometimes 
oblique : both surfaces glabrous, reticulate when dry ; main nerves 5 or 
6 pairs, ascending, curving ; length 3 to 6 in., breadth 1’5 to 2*5 in.; 
petiolules *4 to '5 in., swollen at the base. Panicles axillary, 1*5 to 4 in. 
long, at first scurfy, but ultimately sub-glabrous, much branched, brac- 
teolate. Flowers ’075 in., in diam., on slender pedicels as long as them¬ 
selves, globular. Calyx cupular, flat, with 5 spreading rounded concave 
teeth, puberulous externally, the edges ciliolate. Petals much longer 
than the calyx, orbicular, concave, glabrous. Staminal tube shorter 
than the petals, globular-turbinate, 5-grooved, the mouth with 5 broad 
blunt teeth; anthers 5, broadly ovate, the tips only exserted. Ovary 
depressed ; stigma conical, pubescent. Fruit globular, with the calyx 
persistent at its base, densely and minutely tawny-pubescent, ’5 or ’6 in.
