tomentose ; the lateral branclies short and corymbose, minutely bracteo- 

 late. Flowers globose in bud, about as long ns the pedicels ; bracteoles 

 minute, subulate. Gahjx fleshy, cup-shaped, shortly pilose outside, the 

 mouth with three shallow broad teeth. Petals valvate, rotund, densely 

 ferruginous, pilose outside, pubescent inside. Stamens 6 ; the anthers 

 broadly ovate, about as long as the filaments which are dilated at the 

 base, free, and inserted outside tlie bi'oad fleshy lobed glabrous disc.

14. Canarium RUBiGiNOSUM, A. W. Benn. in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 

 534. A tree : young branches and inflorescence minutely tawny-tomen- 

 tose. Leaves 9 to 12 in. long, the rachises glabrous when adult ; 

 stipules (if any) deciduous. Leaflets 5 to 7, coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, 

 shortly aud obtusely acuminate, entire, the base rounded or slightly 

 narrowed ; both sui'faces glabrous when adult, the lower puberulous 

 along the stout midrib and 10 to 13 pairs of spreading curving main 

 nerves, the reticulations also distinct : length 3*5 to 4*5 in., breadth 1*25 

 to 2 in. ; petiolules '6 in., the terminal one 1'5 in. Particles of male 

 flowers terminal and axillary, 4 to 10 in. long, the branchlets bearing 

 the flowers at their extremities in condensed many-flowered dichoto- 

 mous cymes. Buds globular, "1 in long, longer tlian the stout pedicels. 

 Calyx a shallow entire cup. Petals deltoid, valvate, concave, much 

 exceeding the calyx, minutely tawny-tomentose outside, glabrescent 

 inside as is the calyx. Stamens 6, shorter than the petals, inserted on 

 the outside of the lobed cushion-like fleshy disc ; the anthers oblong, 

 about as long as the flat free filaments. Female flowers unknown. 

 Sdpe drupe ellipsoid, nearly 1 in. long, and '6 in. in diam., obscurely

15. Canarium Kunstleri, King, n. sp. A tree 60 to 70 feet high : 

 young branches rather stout, pale brown, minutely and deciduously 

 scurfy-tomentose. Leaves 14 to 20 inches ; stipules deeply laciniatc, 

 puberulous, persistent. Leaflets 7 to 11, sub-coriaceous, oblong to 

 elliptic-oblong, shortly acuminate, the edges crenulate or sub-entire ; 

 the base rounded or sub-cuneate, slightly oblique ; upper surface 

 glabrous, the lower glaucous (at least when young), puberulous on the
