anthers 5, elliptic, included. Ovary small, depressed; stigma globose. 
Fruit unknown. 
Perak: Scortechini, No. 722. 
The nearest ally of this is A. speciosa , Blume, which, however, has 
leaflets of thicker texture, with more numerous and distinct nerves and 
squamulose on the under surface. The flowers of the two also differ 
slightly, those of A. speciosa , although similar in calyx and corolla, 
having a staminal tube with a wide open mouth, without inflexed teeth 
and from which the anthers are partly exserted. 
7. Aglaia Ganggo, Miq. Flor. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 506. A tree: 
young branches, petioles, midribs and inflorescences covered with minute 
rusty scales. Leaves 10 to 24 in. long, equally or unequally pinnate ; 
leaflets 10 to 15, opposite or alternate, sub-coriaceous, narrowly oblong 
or oblong-lanceolate, shortly and rather abruptly acuminate ; the base 
cuneate, unequal-sided: both surfaces free from hairs, but covered with 
very minute scale-like pustules : main nerves 12 to 18 pairs, faint, 
spreading: length 3 to 5‘5 in., breadth 1 to P75 in., petiolule *15 to 
'35 in. Panicles solitary, axillary, nearly as long as the leaves, the 
lower branches distant, all more or less spreading, the flowers on 
the ultimate branchlets rather crowded. Flowers '1 to *15 in. long, 
ovoid, sub-sessile. Calyx cupular, minutely pubescent and scaly 
outside, the mouth with 5 broad blunt erect teeth. Petals 5, larger than 
the calyx, elliptic, concave, blunt, glabrous. Staminal tube shorter than 
the petals, ovoid, the mouth small, circular, not toothed ; anthers 5, 
narrowly elliptic, included. Ovary small, depressed, 3-angled, densely 
hairy, crowned by the glabrous cylindric grooved stigma. Fruits on 
short stout pedicels, reniform, compressed, 2-celled, 2-seeded, minutely 
rusty-lepidote, '5 in. broad (perhaps not quite ripe). Miq. Ann. Mus.

South Andaman, Nicobar Islands; King’s Collector. Distrib. 
Sumatra. 
The flowers of the Andaman specimens agree exactly with those 
from Sumatra on which Miquel founded the species which is a very dis¬ 
tinct one. On each panicle, there appear to be certain flowers with per¬ 
fect and others with imperfect ovaries. The panicles bearing fruit are 
thus in size and ramification exactly like those bearing flowers. A. For - 
steni , a species founded by Miquel (Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. IY, 46) on 
specimens collected in Amboina does not appear to me to be really dis¬ 
tinct from this. Under the name of Aglaia Ganggo , Miq., I believe 
there have been issued from the Calcutta Herbarium some specimens of a 
Perak plant (King’s Collector, No. 4606), which much resembles this 
in leaves and inflorescence, but which has a very different staminal tube.
