prominent on the lower surface, strongly curved, obscurely anas- 
tomosing near the margins, the reticulations not at all prom- 
inent; petiolules of the lateral leafiets 0.6 to 1.5 cm long, of the 
terminal one up to 4 cm in length. Panicles terminal, 13 cm 
long in fruit, brown-puberulent, branched from the base. Per- 
sistent calyces about 3 mm in diameter, puberulent. Immature 
fruits narrowly ovoid, somewhat inequilateral or somewhat gib- 
bous, about 2 cm long, glabrous, not at all angled, the pericarp 
wrinkled when dry. :

Foxworthy, DeMesa, & Villamil, June 17, 1912, growing at sea level 
immediately back of the mangrove swamp, known to the Moros as batli. — 
The species is apparently a rather characteristic one, and is perhaps — 
as closely allied to Canarium calophyllum Perk., as to any other. It 
differs from Canarium calophyllum, however, in its fewer nerved leaves 
and m its much smaller persistent calyces. 
CANARIUM STENOPHYLLUM sp. nov. § Eucanarium, Monadelpha. 
Arbor alta partibus junioribus exceptis glabra; foliis circiter 
20 cm longis, foliolis 13 ad 15, lanceolatis, integris, usque ad 11 
em longis, inaequilateralibus, leviter falcatis vel subrectis, basi 
acutis, apice longe acuminatis; racemis ¢ axillaribus, solitariis, 
8 ad 10 cm longis; floribus circiter 1.8 cm longis, cylindraceis, 
filamentis deorsum connatis, disco libero. 
A tree reaching a height of 40 meters, glabrous except the 
younger parts and the inflorescence. Branches terete, glabrous, 
lenticellate, grayish-brown, about 5 mm in diameter, the branch- 
lets more or less appressed-villous or hirsute, especially the 
growing parts. Leaves alternate, about 20 cm long. Leaflets 
18 to 15, lanceolate, inequilateral, straight or somewhat falcate, 
chartaceous, entire, 1 to 2.4 cm wide, 6 to 11 cm long, narrowed 
below to the acute or obtuse base, gradually narrowed upward 
to the long and rather slenderly acuminate apex, when dry oli- 
vaceous or subolivaceous, shining; lateral nerves about 9 on 
each side of the midrib, slender, curved, anastomosing ; petiolules 
about 2 mm long; stipules not seen, if present very early deci- 
duous. Male racemes axillary, solitary, 8 to 10 cm long, slightly 
pubescent, the flowers somewhat crowded in the upper one-half, 
white, their pedicels about 2mm long. Calyx about 4 mm long, 
the lobes 3, broadly ovate, 2 mm long. Petals 3, oblong, im- 
bricate, glabrous, about 13 mm long, 5 mm wide. Stamens 6, 
the filaments united below into a 2 mm high disk, the free parts 
6 to 7 mm long; anthers oblong, 3 mm long. Disk free, oblong- 
cylindric, hirsute, somewhat fluted, about 4 mm long, 2.6 mm 
in diameter.
