petioles, rachis, petiolules, nerves and midribs of the leaflets 
on the lower surface densely ferruginous-hirsute with spreading 
hairs; leaflets 7, firmly chartaceous or subcoriaceous, elliptic to 
oblong-ovate, shining, 8 to 13 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, entire, 
when dry pale-olivaceous, the upper surface glabrous except 
for the somewhat pubescent midrib, base acute, apex rather 
abruptly subcaudate-acuminate, the acumen slender, blunt, about 
1 cm long; lateral nerves about 8 on each side of the midrib, 
- prominent on the lower surface, curved, anastomosing, the reti- 
culations lax, prominent; petiolules 5 mm long; stipules decidu- 
ous, not seen. Panicles terminal, about 20 cm long in fruit, 
brown-puberulent and with scattered hirsute hairs, the primary 
branches few, unbranched. Flowers not seen, apparently few, 
racemosely arranged on short pedicels. Persistent calyx-lobes 
ovate, acute, 2.5 mm long, coriaceous, ferruginous-pubescent. 
Fruit 2.5 cm long about 1.5 cm in diameter, ovoid in outline, 
acute, prominently trigonous, when dry prominently wrinkled 
and with few, scattered, ferruginous, stiff hairs.

Apparently belonging in the same group with Canarium ahernianum 
Merr., differing in its indumentum, its shorter leaves, fewer leaflets, and 
much fewer lateral nerves.
