72 G. King— Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 1, 
to 8 in. long, with few sub-erect branches ; the branchlets short, dense¬ 
ly flowered, all scurfy puberulous. Flowers globose, sessile, more than *1 
in, in diam. Calyx of 4 or 5 thick densely tomentose sub-rotund 
sepals. Petals 5, glabrous. Staminal tube short, sub-globular, with a 
wide mouth ; anthers 5, short, attached close to the mouth of the tube, 
their apices included. Fruit globular-obovoid, minutely rusty puberu¬ 
lous, 1*5 in. long, and 1'25 in. in diam.

A species allied to A. pachyphylla, Miq., and not easy by descrip¬ 
tion alone to be distinguished from that species. An examination of 
Miquel’s type specimen of A. pachyphylla kindly lent to me by the au¬ 
thorities of the Leiden Herbarium shows that the leaves of that are 
distinctly falcate, while those of this are not: moreover the leaves of 
A. pachyphylla taper much more to the apex, and the panicles are more 
robust, than is the case in this species. The tomentum on the under 
surface of the leaves differs in character in the two species ; and in the 
leaves of A. pachyphylla the midribs of the leaves are raised and ridge¬ 
like on the upper surface, while these of this species are depressed. 
The fruit of A. pachyphylla is unknown. 
18. Aglaia Palembanica, Miq. Flor. Ind. Bat., Suppl. 507. A tree 
10 to 25 feet high; young shoots, petioles and rachises, petiolules 
and iuflorescense densely rusty stellate-tomentose. Leaves 4 to 9 in. 
long, unequally pinnate; leaflets 5 to 9, sub-opposite, membra¬ 
nous, oblong-lanceolate to ovate, opposite or sub-opposite, shortly acu¬ 
minate, the base cuneate, the terminal and upper pairs of leaflets with 
bases much narrowed; upper surface sometimes deciduously lepidote, 
ultimately glabrous, except sometimes the pubescent lower half of the 
midrib; lower surface more or less closely stellate-pubescent, especially 
on the midrib and 6 to 11 pairs of spreading main nerves; length P5 to 
5 in., breadth *65 to 1*75 in., petiolules *15 in. Panicles solitary, axillary, 
1*5 to 4 in. long, slender, their branches short and divaricating, bearing 
the flowers in dense short spikes. Flowers depressed-globular, about *025 
in. in diam. Calyx with 5 long narrow acute or sub-acute spreading un¬ 
equal lobes, some of them occasionally longer than the petals, boldly 
stellate-tomentose outside, glabrous inside. Petals 5, obovate-elliptic, 
concave, glabrous. Staminal tube shorter than the petals, glabrous, its 
mouth truncate entire ; anthers 5, ovate, curved, half-exserted. Ovary 
large, pubescent, stigma 3-angled. Fruit ellipsoid (narrowly so when 
young), deciduously stellate-tomentose, *75 in. long, and *6 in. in diam.
