more or less covered with very short dark-brown hairs. 
Branches terete, brownish or grayish, glabrous, lenticellate, 5 
to 7 mm in diameter. Leaves 15 to 25 em long, alternate, the 
leaflets 5 or 6, coriaceous, brown and shining when dry, entire, 
5 to 12 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, the apex acuminate, the acumen 
usually abrupt, short, blunt, the base acute to rounded, mostly 
nearly equilateral; lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the 
midrib, very prominent on the lower surface, anastomosing, 
the reticulations prominent, the nerves, midrib, and reticulations 
with very short, stout, short, glandlike hairs, the upper surface 
entirely glabrous; petiolules 5 to 10 mm long; stipules linear- 
lanceolate, thick, stiff, straight or curved, brown-pubescent, 
about 5 mm long. Inflorescences axillary, solitary, numerous, 
equalling or a little longer than the leaves, brown-pubescent, or 
the flower clusters ferruginous-pubescent. Male flowers numer- 
ous, fascicled, the fascicles widely separated, each with numerous 
ovate, hirsute, 1.2 to 1.8 mm long bracteoles, the flowers sessile. 
Calyx cylindric, 4 mm long, hirsute, the lobes 3, broadly ovate, 
obtuse, about 2 mm long. Petals 3, oblong, 6 mm long, 2 mm 
wide, obtuse, the upper two-thirds externally pubescent. Fila- 
ments six, 3 to 3.5 mm long, flattened below and slightly united 
for the lower 0.5 mm forming an obscure disk; anthers oblong, 
1.8 mm long. Rudimentary ovary obovoid, glabrous, 1.5 mm 
in diameter, more or less evidently 3-cleft and readily separat- 
ing into three parts. Female or perfect flowers apparently sim- 
ilar to the male, the infructescence narrowly paniculate, the 
lower branches up to 3 cm in length, each branch with from 1 
to 3 fruits, the pedicels stout, 5 to 10 mm long. Mature fruits 
ovoid, not at all 3-angled, apiculate, about 1.2 cm long, 7 to 
8 mm in diameter, the pericarp thin, wrinkled when dry, gla- 
brous, the endocarp 1-celled, bony, about 2 mm thick.

A species in many characters closely resembling Canariuwm villosum 
F.-Vill. (C. cumingii Engl.), and probably as closely allied to that species 
as any other. It is distinguished by its very short, dark-brown indumentum 
which appears on the younger parts of the inflorescence, and on the lower 
surface of the leaflets. The male flowers are disposed in sessile, dense, 
distant fascicles and are ferruginous-pubescent.
