brevioribus, 5 ad 10 cm longis, floribus ¢ solitariis, haud 
fasciculatis. 
A tree about 20 m high, most parts except the upper surfaces 
of the leaflets more or less covered with very short brown hairs. 
Leaves about 35 cm long, the leaflets 6 or 7, coriaceous, oblong- 
elliptic to oblong-obovate, 7 to 12 cm long, 3.5 to 6 cm wide, 
rather dark-brown when dry, the upper surface glabrous, shin- 
ing, base acute to rounded, apex prominently and abruptly 
acuminate, the acumen blunt, 1 cm long or less; lateral nerves 
12 to 14 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower sur- 
face, anastomosing, the reticulations rather close, prominent; 
petiolules 1 to 1.5 cm long; stipules stout, stiff, pubescent, curved, 
about 5 mm long. Spikes 5 to 10 cm long, simple, the flowers 
scattered below, solitary, above rather close, sessile. Calyx 
oblong-ovate, about 4 mm long, pubescent, the teeth 3, broadly 
ovate, obtuse, 1 mm long. Petals 3, narrowly oblong, acute to 
obtuse, about 5 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, pubescent externally in 
the upper part. Disk annular, glabrous, rather thick, more or 
less lobed, 1 mm high or less; filaments 6, slender, 1.5 mm long, 
attached to the outer upper part of the disk; anthers 1 mm long. 
Ovary globose-obovoid, pubescent, 1.5 mm in diameter; style 
stout, pubescent, about 1 mm long, cylindric; stigma capitate, 
obscurely sulcate. 
MASBATE, Marintoc River, collected by P. T. Barnes, May, 1903, distrib- 
uted as Merrill 2617. In forests, locally known as mili-pili. 
A species in facies much resembling Canarium lagunense Merr., but 
with longer leaves, more numerous leaflets, very much shorter inflores- 
cences, the flowers not at all fascicled, and the flowers in structure quite 
different from those of C. lagunense. The indumentum on the younger 
parts, inflorescence, and lower surfaces of the leaflets is quite the same in 
both forms. 
CANARIUM OLIGANTHUM sp. nov. § Crassipyrena. 
Arbor, ut videtur alta, partibus junioribus plus minusve pube- 
rulis; foliis circiter 70 cm longis, foliolis circiter 9, amplis, in- 
tegris, chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, in siccitate brunneis, usque 
ad 25 cm longis, et 11 cm latis, acuminatis, nervis utrinque 15 
ad 17, prominentibus; inflorescentiis axillaribus, solitariis, cir- 
citer 15 cm longis, anguste paniculatis, paucifloris; floribus longe 
pedicellatis, ebracteolatis, circiter 8 mm longis. 
A tree, apparently tall, the trunk about 50 cm in diameter, 
the branchlets, petioles, midribs on the lower surface of the 
leaflets, and inflorescence more or less puberulent with pale- 
brownish hairs. Branches terete, lenticellate, stout, striate, the 
ultimate branchlets about 1 cm in diameter, pale-brownish.
