LEYTE, Buenavista, near Jaro, C. A. Wenzel 1116, September 15, 1914, 
in forests, altitude about 500 meters. 
This genus is certainly in the Aurantioideae-Aurantieae-Limeniinae of 
Engler in spite of the fact that the ovules are more than two in each cell. 
Its alliance is with Paramigyna, from which it is distinguished by its more 
numerous ovules, 6 in each cell and 2-seriate, and, so far as most of the 
species of Paramigyna are concerned, by its erect habit, and by being 
unarmed. The genus is dedicated to Mr. C. A. Wenzel, in consideration 
of the rich botanical collections he has made in Leyte during the past two 
years; the specific name refers to the short petioles. 
BURSERACEAE 
CANARIUM Linnaeus 
CANARIUM CRASSIFOLIUM sp. nov. § Tenuipyrena ? 
Arbor circiter 20 m alta, glabra (floribus ignotis), ramulis 
brunneis, circiter 1 cm diametro, lenticellatis; foliis usque ad 40 
cm longis, foliolis 9 vel 11, crasse coriaceis, oblongis, integris, 
usque ad 15 cm longis, obtuse acuminatis, basi acutis ad obtusis, 
in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, nervis utrinque circiter 12; infructes- 
centibus folia paullo brevioribus, paniculatis; fructibus oblongo- 
ovoideis, 3 ad 3.5 cm longis, utrinque obtusis, teretibus, in sicci- 
tate rugosis, endocarpium tenue. 
A tree about 20 m high, entirely glabrous (flowers unknown). 
Branches terete, brown, the ultimate ones about 1 cm in diameter, 
with numerous small lenticels and with few large petiolar scars. 
Leaves up to, 40 cm in length, the petioles, rachis, and petiolules 
reddish-brown when dry; leaflets 9 to 11, oblong, thickly coria- 
ceous, pale and shining when dry, 11 to 15 cm long, 3.5 to 5 em 
wide, the apex shortly and obtusely acuminate, base acute to 
obtuse, slightly inequilateral, the margins entire; lateral nerves 
12 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved-anastomosing 
near the margins; petiolules 1 to 1.5 em long. Infructescence 
paniculate, in the upper axils, nearly as long as the uppermost 
leaves, all parts reddish-brown when dry and prominently wrin- 
kled, the primary branches few, mostly in the upper one-half, 
the lower ones about 6 cm long. Fruits oblong-ovoid, terete, 3 
to 3.5 cm long, about 1.5 cm in diameter, subequally narrowed 
to the obtuse base and apex, brownish or grayish when dry, the 
pericarp prominently wrinkled when dry, sometimes a little 
glaucous; endocarp crustaceous, thin, smooth, not at all angled or 
ridged, 1-celled, the cotyledons conduplicate. 
LEYTE, Buenavista, near Jaro, C. A. Wenzel 1090, September 9, 1914, in 
forests, altitude about 500 meters. 
A species somewhat resembling Canarium nitens Merr., but the infruc- 
tescence glabrous, the fruits smaller, and the leaflets different in shape and 
with fewer nerves.
