tliiokened in the middle ; the edges thin, both surfaces glabrous. Sta- 

 mens 8 ; the anthers oblong, shorter than the flattened filaments, the 

 dilated bases of which are attached outside the glabrous fleshy disc 

 from which emerges the oblong tapering rudimentary ovary : style 

 filiform, stigma minute. Female flowers not seen. Ripe drupes narrowly 

 ellipsoid, slightly clavate, sub-trigonous, 2 to 2'25 in. long and "6 in. 

 in diani. ; persistent calyx small, flat, 3-angled. 



Perak: King's collector, IS'os. 8554, 10016, 10182, and 10227. 

 Scortechini, No. 454. 



This and the next are distinctlj'- separated from all the other hitherto 

 described Malayan species by their triandrous flowers. The leaves and 

 drupes of this are also very characteristic. 



3. Canarium parvifolium, a. W. Benn. in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. 1. 

 536. A tree ; young branches slender, dark brown, all parts ultimately 

 glabrous except the flower. Leaves 6 to 12 in. long; leaflets 5 to 9, coiia- 

 ceous, oblong-lanceolate to elliptic, acuminate, entire, the base rounded 

 or slightly narrowed, both surfaces shining ; nerves 7 or 8 pairs, spread- 

 ing, invisible above (even when dry) and very faint below, length 2 to 

 3"5 in., breadth "8 to 16 ; petiolules '1 to "2 in., the terminal one '35 to "65 

 in.; stipules (if any) deciduous. PawcZe* terminal, slender, the bi-anches 

 few, short, few-flowered, bracteolate. Flowers '2 in. long, slightly 

 longer than the pedicels. Calyx campanulate ; the mouth truncate, 

 quite entire or faintly 3-toothed. Petals much longer than the calyx, 

 imbricate, elliptic, obtuse, concave, puberulous on both surfaces. Stamens 

 6, as long as the petals : anther.s oblong, much shorter than the filaments 

 which are subulate, much dilated in the lower third and very slightly 

 united at the base. Rudimentary ovary ovoid, tapei'ing into the thin 

 cylindric style, glabrous. Fein ale flowers unknown. Ripe drupe ellipsoid, 

 trigonous, glabrous, 1'5 to 1*75 in. long, and 8 in. in diam. Engler 

 in DeCand. Monogr. Phanerog. Vol. lY, 140. 



Malacca: GriSith, No. 1068; Maingay, No. 353 (Kew Distribution). 

 Perak: King's collector, Nos. 2618 and 7870. 



The bases of the filaments iu Griffith's No. 1068 are less dilated 

 than in those of Maingay's No. 353, or in those of King's collector's 

 specimens; but in other respects the characters agree. This species in 

 externals much resembles C. nitidum, Benn. 



4. Canarium euphyllum, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, 1872, 

 Pt. 2. p. 295. A tree 80 to 90 feet high ; young shoots very stout, 

 puberulous. Leaves 2 to 3 feet long, the stipules (if any) very decid- 

 uous. Leaflets 11 to 17, membranous, ovate, ovate-oblong or oblong, 

 opposite, very shortly and abruptly acuminate, the edges glandular- 

 serrulate ; the base unequal, rounded or sub-cordate ; both surfaces
