25, prominentibus, utrinque hirsutis; racemis fructiferis axilla- 

 ribus, 12 ad '28 cm longis, pedunculitis ; fructibus oblongo- 

 ellipticis, glabris, 3 ad 3.5 cm longis, utrinque subaequaliter 

 angustatis, acutis, obscure vel vix triangularis, in siccitate longi- 

 tudinaliter subprominente 6-costulatis. 



A tall tree, the branches robust, the ultimate branchlets densely 

 ferruginous-pubescent with short hairs, 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter, 

 striate when dry. Leaves alternate, up to 90 cm in length, the 

 petioles, rachis, and petiolules rather densely villous with short 

 spreading hairs, the leaflets on both surfaces prominently hirsute 

 with stiff, spreading, elongated hairs, the stout petioles about 

 8 mm in diameter at the base and somewhat flattened on the 

 upper surface; leaflets about 10, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, char- 

 taceous to subcoriaceous, entire, greenish-olivaceous when dry, 

 shining, the midribs, nerves, and reticulations on both surfaces 

 copiously supplied with stiff, pale or brownish, spreading hairs, 

 base rounded or somewhat cordate, apex abruptly and rather 

 prominently acute-acuminate; lateral nerves 18 to 25 on each 

 side of the midrib, very prominent on both surfaces, spreading, 

 anastomosing, the primary reticulations prominent; petiolules 

 3 to 8 mm long; stipules linear-oblong, stiff, curved, densely to- 

 mentose, about 7 mm long. Fruiting racemes axillary, ferru- 

 ginous-pubescent, stout, 12 to 28 cm long, fruit-bearing in the 

 upper one-half only, the fruiting pedicels stout, about 1 cm long, 

 the persistent calyx-lobes triangular-ovate, acute, ferruginous- 

 pubescent, 5 to 7 mm long. Fruits oblong-elliptic, scarcely or 

 not at all 3-angled, 3 to 3.5 cm long, 1.5 to 1.8 cm in diameter, 

 pale-brown when dry, glabrous or with very few, scattered, stiff, 

 brown hairs, subequally narrowed at both ends, the apex acute, 

 longitudinally 6-ridged when dry, the ridges rather prominent, 

 usually also with fainter intermediate ridges. 



Samar, Catubig River as Tagabiran, and at Palapag, Bur. Sci. 24512 

 ( tv pe)> 2H50 Ramos, February and March, 1916, on forested slopes at 

 low altitudes, locally known as malapiliay. 



A species in many respects resembling Canarium racemosum Merr., of 

 Mindanao, from which it is readily distinguished by its entire, not denti- 

 culate leaves; it differs also in numerous other characters, such as its 

 thinner, more acuminate, more hirsute leaflets, and its nearly glabrous 

 fruits. It seems to be less closely allied to Canarium costulatum Elm.
