opposite, the median and upper ones elliptic to oblong-elliptic, 
17 to 25 cm long, 7 to 9 cm wide, the lower ones relatively 
shorter and broader, entire, prominently acuminate, the base 
rounded, usually somewhat inequilateral, the upper surface spar- 
ingly short-pubescent with ferruginous hairs on the midrib and 
lateral nerves, pale-greenish, the lower surface slightly paler, 
more brownish, the pubescence more evident and extending to the 
reticulations, the midrib and lateral nerves brown in contrast to 
the yellowish-green lower surface; lateral nerves very prominent 
on the lower surface, about 18 on each side of the midrib, curved- 
anastomosing close to the margin, the primary reticulations 
subparallel, prominent, brownish; petiolules densely brown- 
pubescent, about 1.5 cm long. Panicles in the upper axils, nar- 
rowly pyramidal, up to 35 cm in length, densely brown-pubescent, 
the branches few, scattered, the lower primary ones up to 15 cm 
in length. Flowers 4 mm long, sessile, more or less glomerate 
or fascicled on the short ultimate branchlets, sometimes irreg- 
ularly spicate. Calyx densely ferruginous-pubescent, 2.5 mm 
long, divided one-half to the base into three, broadly ovate lobes. 
Petals 3, free, obovate to subelliptic, 3.5 mm long, 2 to 2.5 mm 
wide, thick, somewhat ferruginous pubescent outside in the lower 
part. Stamens 6, free, inserted outside of the disk, their fila- 
ments 2 mm long; anthers oblong, 1.2 mm long. Disk promi- 
nent, thick, glabrous below, villous on the top, usually obscurely 
lobed. Perfect flowers and fruits not seen.

altitude about 30 meters. 
A species manifestly in the alliance with Canarium villosum F.-Vill. 
(C. cumingii Engl.), but readily distinguished by its rather dense, dark- 
brown indumentum which is composed of short hairs. It is even closer 
allied to Canarium clementis Merr., in which species, however, the indu- 
mentum entirely covers the entire lower surface of the leaflets. 
CANARIUM PAUCINERVIUM sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 17 m alta, ramulis foliis inflorescentiisque plus 
minusve hirsutis; foliis circiter 30 cm longis, foliolis 7, ellipticis 
ad oblongo-ovatis, integris, usque ad 13 em longis, acuminatis, 
basi acutis, nitidis, subtus ad costa nervisque dense hirsutis, 
nervis lateralibus utrinque circiter 8, prominentibus; infructe- 
scentiis terminalibus, paniculatis, circiter 20 cm longis, fructibus 
2.5 cm longis, acutis, trigonis, in siccitate valde rugosis, parce 
hirsutis. 
A tree about 17 m high, the branches terete, lenticellate, brown, 
the ultimate ones about 5 mm in diameter, brown-pubescent and 
with scattered stiff hairs. Leaves alternate, about 30 cm long,
