12. Canakidm Manit, King, n. sp. A tree : young branches slender, 

 pale brown, scurfy-pubei-ulous. Leaves 9 to 12 in. long, stipules (if 

 any) deciduous. Leaflets 5 to 7, thinly coriaceous, ovate or ovate- 

 rotund, shortly acuminate, entire ; the base very broad, rounded or sub- 

 cordate, never narrowed ; both surfaces quite glabrous, shining, the 

 reticulations minute : main nerves about 10 pairs, spreading, rather 

 straight, slightly prominent beneath ; length 3"25 to 4'5 in., breadth 

 1*.5 to 2"75 in. ; petioluJes '2 to *4 in., the terminal one longer. Panicles 

 terminal, slender, shorter than the leaves, minutely pubescent ; their 

 branches short (1 in. long), corymbose. Flowers "25 in. long, few ; 

 buds globular, each with an oblong, obtuse tomentose bract longer 

 than itself. Calyx tomentose, widely campanulate, with 3 broad, shallow 

 teeth. Petals slightly longer than the calyx, broadly ovate, sub-acute, 

 minutely pubescent externally, glabrous internally. Stamens 6, anthers 

 oblong, shorter than the free glabrous slightly flattened filaments which 

 are inserted outside the glabrous fleshy lobed disc. ; ovary none. Female

This resembles C. euphylluvi, Kurz in its fruit, but has very dif-

 long; their rachises terete, nearly glabrous, stipules (if any) deciduous. 

 Leaflets 7 to 9, elliptic-oblong to elliptic, obtusely acuminate, entire, 

 both surfaces glabrous or nearly eo, the base often unequal rounded or 

 sub-cuneate ; main nerves 6 to 9 pairs, spreading, incurved, slightly 

 pi'ominent beneath ; length 2*5 to 5 in., breadth 1 to 2*25 in ; petiolules
