482 LEAFLETS OF PAILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. I, Apt. 24 
A few trees of this species were noticed on a thinly wood- 
ed ridge at about 3000 feet. 
I place this with much doubt under Eurycoma, since in 
this genus the cells are described as having only one ovule, 
and the staminate flowers bearing ligulate scales. Indeed, I am 
not quite sure as to the family. It has not the glandular 
or punctate foliage of Rutacex. 
BURSERACE. 
CANARIUM Linn. 
Canarium nervosum Elm. n. sp. 
Tree, 8 m. high; branches few, very thick, densely mark- 
ed with leaf scars. Leaves spreading and crowded toward the 
ends of the suberect branchlets, 1 m. long or less, bearing 
9 to 14 pairs of leaflets, strongly recurved and conduplicate 
on the upper shining dark green side, paler beneath, glabrous, 
chartaceous, the medium ones 2 dm. long, 8 cm. wide, ovately 
oblong, the entire magins subinvolute, apex acute to abrupt- 
ly acuminate, base emarginately rounded or subcordate; pet- 
iolules glabrous, stout, 1 cm. long; nerves very prominent ben- 
eath, lateral pairs about 20, glabrous, more numerous toward 
the base, divaricate, tips strongly curved and obscurely united, 
the numerous reticulations very conspicuous on both sides. 
Infrutescence solitary from the leaf axil, heavy and subpen- 
 dulous, at least 3 dm. long, fruit bearing from near the 
base; the upper fruits sessile, the lower ones upon 5 em. long 
ultimately glabrous peduneles; pedicels 1 em. long, very thick, 
cinnamon brown pulverulent, bearing the persistent bracts; 
bracts 3, united below the middle, triangularly obtuse, 5 mm. 
long, similarly pulverulent; fruits when young covered with 
brown setose hairs, when mature entirely glabrous, glaucous 
green, 3 cm. long, triangular, both ends sitatlüsly ` rounded, 
elliptic in outline; flowers not seen.
