Aglaia (family Meliaceae) A genus of trees, most of which are medium-sized. They have twigs with stellate hairs, and leaves that are large and pinnate (or, rarely, simple). The flowers are tiny, borne in panicles, and often fragrant. The fruit is one- or few-seeded, the pericarp leathery and dehiscent, and the seed large, with a fleshy jacket. A few members of this genus are timber species (including the former genus Amoora). There are 100 species, occurring from China to the western Pacific.

Aglaia in Greek mythology, one of the Three Graces.
