039C87F8EB41FF98FCD5FB62FBB5F191.taxon	distribution	Distribution — Sri Lanka, India (Western Ghats, West Bengal and Odisha). Habitat & Ecology — Occurs in evergreen forest including coastal dry-zone forests and riverine forests (on beaches and sand-dunes in Sri Lanka), up to 1500 m in the evergreen forests of the Western Ghats of India and 600 m in West Bengal. Notes — 1. Aglaia roxburghiana is sometimes a larger tree than either A. wallichii or A. elaeagnoidea. The occasional larger-leaved specimens can be almost indistinguishable morphologically from A. edulis unless fruits are present. The fruits of A. edulis are larger than those of A. roxburghiana and are usually 3 - locular; the upper surface of the leaflets of A. roxburghiana is slightly shiny when dry and is dull in A. edulis. 2. The leaflets of A. roxburghiana usually have a rounded (rarely acuminate) apex, while the leaflets of A. wallichii are usually acuminate, except for some coastal specimens from West Malesia. The flowers of A. roxburghiana usually resemble those of A. elaeagnoidea and A. wallichii, but sometimes differ in that they have an obovoid rather than subglobose staminal tube with a narrower aperture. Both A. roxburghiana and A. wallichii differ from A. elaeagnoidea in the absence of scales on the outer surface of the petals (on nearly all specimens). The scales on the inflorescence and fruits of A. roxburghiana have longer fimbriate margins than in either A. elaeagnoidea or A. wallichii. 3. The fruits of A. roxburghiana and A. wallichii have an inedible pericarp, densely covered with orange-brown scales. Seed dispersal differs from that of A. elaeagnoidea; primates remove the pericarp and consume the seeds, digesting the gelatinous aril and either spitting out or voiding the cleaned seeds in their faeces.	en	Joyce, E.

(lecto U; isolecto L), Bali. Aglaia wallichii Hiern var. brachystachya C. DC (1878) 606. — Type: Griffith 1045 (holo K).	en	Joyce, E. M., Crayn, D. M., Rossetto, M., Yap, J. Y. S., Thiele, K.

039C87F8EB43FF99FCD5FE77FC44F4B2.taxon	distribution	Distribution — Widespread in Myanmar, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, Java and Bali (and therefore confined to the west of Wallace’s Line). Histori- cally in Bangladesh (including the type locality), though now considered extinct there. Habitat & Ecology — Aglaia wallichii is usually found inland, at elevations to 1400 m, in dry evergreen or deciduous forest, including on limestone and granite. In Java and its offshore islands, however, it occurs on the coast, where it resembles A. elaeagnoidea in morphology. Primates remove the pericarp and consume the seeds. They digest the gelatinous aril that adheres firmly to the seed and either spit out the cleaned seeds or void them in their faeces. Note — The twigs, petioles, rachises, petiolules, inflorescence and infructescence peduncles, branches and pedicels of A. roxburghiana and A. wallichii are more slender than those in A. elaeagnoidea. The leaflets of A. roxburghiana and A. wallichii are mostly more than twice as long as wide. The indumentum is sparse on the leaflets of A. roxburghiana and A. wallichii and the pits on the leaflet surfaces are less conspicuous than in A. elaeagnoidea (except in coastal specimens from Java and adjacent islands, where the indumentum structure and distribution on the leaves and flowers resembles A. elaeagnoidea). Coastal specimens of A. wallichii sometimes resemble A. elaeagnoidea in having leaves with short, broad, rounded apices, rather than having a drip tip, and an indumentum on the exposed surfaces of the petals. Leaflets in A. wallichii are less coriaceous than in A. elaeagnoidea, and the reticulation is more visible (except in coastal specimens from Java and adjacent islands).
