This is an imperfectly known species. The only male flowei-s I 

 have seen of it are those in Mr. HuUett's specimen from Singapore. 

 I have seen no ripe drupes. Ganarium dichotomnm, Miq. (Pimela 

 dichotoma, Blume Mus, Lugd. Bat. I, 22) closely resembles this as to 

 leaves. But, as neither Blume nor Miquel describes its flowers, it is 

 impossible to decide whether the likeness goes beyond externals. The 

 specific name of this is unfortunate. The flowers described by the 

 author of it are females, and they are not larger than the female flowers 

 of many other species, while they are much smaller than those, for 

 example, of G. rtifum, Benn. 



6. Canaridm piLO,yUM, A. W. Benn. in Hook. fiLFh Br. Ind. I, 633. 

 A tree 30 to 60 feet high ; young branches rufous-pubescent, with 

 strigose hairs intermixed. Leaves 12 to 18 in. long. Leaflets 3 to 7, 

 thinly coriaceous, opposite, oblong-lanceolate to elliptic, sometimes slight- 

 ly obovate, shortly and abruptly acuminate, entire or obscurely crenu- 

 late ; the base cuneate, slightly unequal-sided ; both surfaces when young 

 sparsely hispid, when adult almost glabrous except the midrib and 

 12 or 13 pairs of slightly prominent spreading nerves which are 

 sparsely hispidulous ; reticulations distinct beneath ; length 4*5 to 5'5 

 in., breodth 1"5 to 2*5 in.; petiolules "15 to "25 in., the terminal one more 

 than 1 in. ; stipules in pairs, subulate, hairy. 3Iale racemes axillary, 

 about 6 in. long, hispidulous, interrupted. Floivers about '5 in, long, 

 pedicellate, few. Calyx much shorter than the corolla, tubular, its 

 mouth nearly entire, minutely tomentose on both surfaces. Petals 

 narrowly oblong, thickened and wider upwards, puberulous on both 

 surfaces. Anthers linear, about half as long as the filaments which 

 are linear, flattened and united into a tube for about one-third of their 

 length ; rudimentary ovary very short, rufous-pilose. Female floivers 

 unknown ; the fruiting racemes only about 4 in, long, nearly glabrous. 

 Drupes narrowly ellipsoid, sub-trigonous, glabrous, 1 in. long, and S 

 in. in diam. (uniipe). Engler in DeCandolle, Monogr. Phanerof. IV.

This species is very closely allied to G. hiriellum, the chief differences 

 being (1) that the calyx of the male flowers of this is almost entire, 

 while in those of 0. hirtellum, the calyx is deeply 3-toothed ; and (2)
