Penang: Curtis, No. 2003 ; King’s Collector, No. 1790. Perak: Scor- 
techini, Wray, King’s Collector. Kedah: Curtis, No. 2520. Distribu¬ 
tion : Sumatra, Bangka, Borneo. 
This differs from its nearest ally A. Grijfithii in its large, irregu¬ 
larly lobed, very tomentose calyx, and in its smaller fruit and leaves. 
I have examined authentic specimens of A. Sipannas, Miq. and of A. rufa , 
Miq., and I cannot see how they are to be separated from A. palembanica, 
Miq. A specimen in the Leiden Herbarium, collected by Korthals in 
Sumatra, and named in Miquel’s handwriting A. elliptica , Blume, var. 
Sumatra, ought in my opinion to be referred to this species. The plant 
named by Teysmann and Binnindyk A. tomentosa, and of which Curtis’s 
specimen from Kedah, No. 2520, is an example, has longer leaflets than 
typical A. palembanica, with more nerves, and more tomentose beneath ; 
but I think its reduction to this is justifiable. This plant has a wider 
distribution than is usual with species of this family, and slight local 
differences are thus naturally to be expected. 
19. Aglaia cordata, Hiern in Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind. I, 557 (excl. 
var. 2). A tree 20 to 30 feet high ; young shoots, petioles, rachises, 
petiolules and inflorescence more or less densely clothed with rusty or 
tawny stellate-tomentum. Leaves 7 to 15 in. long, unequally pinnate ; 
leaflets 7 to 9, the pairs opposite, rarely sub-opposite, membranous, 
oblong-oblanceolate, rarely ovate or elliptic, all with shortly acuminate 
apices, the odd one the largest and much attenuate towards the base, 
the paired leaflets cuneate, minutely cordate at the very base; upper 
surface glabrous, the midrib slightly pubescent; the lower stellate- 
pubescent, sometimes densely so, the midrib always, and the nerves 
usually, tomentose; main nerves 10 to 14 pairs, oblique, slightly 
depressed on the upper surface when dry and prominent on the lower : 
length 4 to 6 in., breadth 1*75 to 2'25 in., petiolules less than *3 in. or 
absent; the terminal leaflet larger and with a petiolule *2 to '4 in. long. 
Panicles axillary, solitary, 3 to 6 in. long, the branches spreading, the 
ultimate branchlets shorter, spike-like, and densely crowded with flowers. 
Flowers about *35 in. in diam., sub-sessile, otherwise as in those of A, 
palembanica. Fruit globular or ovoid, densely covered with deciduous 
rusty stellate tomentum, ’5 to *65 in. in diam. C. DC. in Monogr. 
Phaner. I, 618 (excl. var. b. calyce glabro).
