VEGETATION OF THE FEEJEE ISLANDS, 215 
minate. Ovaria 4, glabra, intra discum 4-lobum ovariis 
ipsis longiorem affixa. Ovula in quoque loculo 2, collatera- 
liter affixa, at alter erecto altero pendulo in loculo quasi 
superposita. Styli 4, breves, filiformes, apice in unicum 
coalita. Feejee Islands, Mr. Hinds, Mr. Barclay. 
Canarium asperum, sp. n., foliolis 5, petiolulatis oblongo- 
ellipticis obtuse acuminatis basi rotundato-truncatis subtus 
scabris ad venas petiolisque hirtellis, stipulis parvis subu- 
latis, racemis axillaribus, floribus subsessilibus glomeratis, 
staminibus liberis, disco sex-partito, drupa monosperma.— 
Rami verrucosi.  Foliola 4-5-pollicaria, rigidula, margine 
ciliata, reticulato-venosissima, supra glabra, eglandulosa. Sti- 
pulæ rigidulee, 2 lin. longc. Racemi (seu spice interrupte) 2-4- 
pollicares, rhachide crassa hirtella. Pedicelli brevissimi, crassi. 
Bracteæ minimc v. obsolete. Calyx urceolatus, obtuse et 
subequaliter trilobus, in fructu persistens, demum patens. 
Petala crassa, calyce fere duplo longiora, estivatione indu- 
plieato-valvata. Stamina 6, petalis breviora, 3 petalis al- 
. terna ceteris paullo breviora. Filamenta tenuia. Anthere 
Ovate glabræ. Discus perigynus e squamis 6 obovatis ci- 
 liatis constans. Ovarium subglobosum trisulcatum, breviter 
hirsutum, triloculare, loculis biovulatis. Stylus brevis, cras- 
Sus. Stigma crassum, obtuse trilobum. Drupa semipolli- 
caris, oblonga; sarcocarpio (in aqua madefacto) crassius- 
culo, endocarpio durissimo intus nitido. Semen subsigmoi- 
deo-oblongum, testa fusca tenui, radieula recta ad mp 
fructus spectante. Cotyledones valde plicate. New Guinea, 
Mr. Hinds. : E : 
From the above account it will be seen that this species 
differs from the characters given to the genus by the valvate 
petals and the deeply lobed, or rather sexpartite disk. The 
other characters are however entirely those of Canarium, 
and it is probably very near to C. hispidum, Blume. The 
"Fuit and seed, excepting in size, correspond exactly with 
.. Gartner's figure of C. sylvestre. The cotyledons are plicate - 
and apparently lobed in the same manner, but owing to their 
Tm fragility and to their cohering together in the not quite ripe |
