Type specimen 12225, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt.

It differs in a number of ways from C. calophyllum Perk. 
yet apparently closest related to it. 
Canarium purpureum Elm. n. sp. 
A tree of middle size; stem 2.5 dm. thick, toward 15 m. high, 
branched mainly toward the top; wood moderately hard, taste- 
less, with a greenish odor, sapwood whitish, brownish toward the 
center; bark dull gray, lenticelled and scaling in small irregular 
plates on the trunk; branches widely scattering, only sparingly 
rebranched or regularly so, the greenish glabrous twigs rather 
slender and less than 1.25 em. thick. Leaves alternatingly scat- 
tered along the branchlets, ascendingly spreading, glabrous, vary- 
ing from 1 to 3 dm. long, with 3 to 5 or even more pairs of leaflets; 
petiole subterete, 3 to 5 em. long, brown when dry, obscurely 
thickened at the base; leaflets entire, oblongish or ovately so, simi- 
larly spreading, the abruptly acuminate or subcaudate tips strong- 
ly recurved, submembranous, shining on the upper slightly folded 
surface, 5 to 8 em. long, 3 em. wide, inequilateral, the acute base 
a trifle unsymmetrie, much paler green beneath, drying brown 
on both sides; petiolule 5 to 8 mm. long, the terminal one twice 
as long, glabrous and blackish brown in the dry state; midrib 
conspicuous beneath, the 5 to 8 lateral pairs of nerves divaricate 
and ascendingly curved, tips barely united, reticulations equally
