74 Gr. King— Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. J, 
Under liis species A. cordata , Mr. Hiern has in my opinion included 
two plants. The species A. cordata , as here limited, includes only Hiern’s 
form with hirsute calyx, and is really little more than a large-leaved 
variety of A. palembanica. Mr. Hiern’s form with glabrous calyx is, in 
my opinion, a distinct species, the calyx differing not only in being 
glabrous, but in being much smaller, and of quite a different shape. 
I have described it as a species under the name A. Hiernii. 
20. Aglaia Hiernii, King, n. sp. A tree 40 to 80 feet high ; 
young branches, petioles, racliises, petiolules and inflorescences, densely 
clothed with rather soft rusty stellate tomentum. Leaves 14 to 18 in. 
long, unequally pinnate ; leaflets 7 to 9, the pairs opposite, thickly mem¬ 
branous, oblong or oblong-lanceolate ; the terminal one oblong-oblanceo- 
late, longer than the others and two or three times as long as the 
petiolule; the apices of all shortly and sharply acuminate, the bases 
cuneate, especially of the uppermost ones; upper surface glabrescent 
with a few scattered stellate-hairs, the midrib and nerves densely 
stellate-pubescent; under-surface uniformly covered with pale-brown- 
centred scales and a Superficial layer of rufous stellate tomentum ; main 
nerves 13 to 22 pairs, sub-horizontal, depressed on the upper and bold 
on the lower surface when dry ; length 4 to 6 in. (the odd one an inch 
longer); breadth 175 to 2'25 in., petiolules of the pairs *15 in. 
Panicles slightly supra-axillary, solitary, 8 to 12 in. long, the branches 
divaricating, the ultimate branchlets bearing densely-flowered spikes. 
Flowers *4 in. long, sessile, globular. Calyx cupular, quite glabrous, 
with 4 or 5 deep broad rounded imbricate lobes. Petals 5, rotund or 
ovate-rotund, unequal, much longer than the calyx, the outer 3 the largest, 
all concave and glabrous. Staminal tube shorter than the petals, cup¬ 
shaped, the mouth wide; the 5 ovate anthers inserted by very short 
filaments on the edge of the tube, but inflexed so as to be included. 
Ovary small, pubescent; stigma depressed-spheroidal, pubescent. Fruit 
unknown.

This is allied to A. cordata , Hiern, but differs from it in having lea¬ 
flets with more numerous and more horizontal main nerves, more densely 
tomentose and lepidote beneath. The calyx of this, moreover, is con¬ 
spicuously different, being smaller, having broad lobes much shorter 
than the petals, and quite glabrous, while the calyx of A. cordata , as 
limited here, has a large calyx densely stellate-tomentose externally, and 
with acute lobes often longer than the petals. This is a large tree, 
often attaining a height of 80 feet, while A, cordata is a small tree from 
20 to 30 feet high.
