midrib and nerves, minutely scaly; main nerves 12 to 15 pairs, spreading, 

 curving, rather prominent beneath ; length 4 to 8 in , breadth 225 io 

 3* 25 in. ; petiolules "3 to "4 in., the terminal one twice as long. Male 

 panicles terminal, rusty-puberulous, 10 to 12 in, long, spreading, compound, 

 the flowers crowded on the ultimate brancblets ; the pedicels short, 

 tomentose, each with 1 or 2 oblong tomentose brown bracteoles which are 

 longer than the globular buds. Floivers 3 in. long. Calyx shorter than 

 the petals, cut nearly to the base into 3 ovate obtuse spreading lobes, to- 

 mentose outside, puberulous inside. Petals ovate, tapering to each end 

 (sub-rhomboid), the outer surface keeled, tomentose with glabrous edges, 

 the inner glabrous. Stamens 6 ; anthers oblong, sliorter than the slight- 

 ly flattened free filaments which are inserted outside the glabrous 

 corrugated disc ; ruddy ; ovary minute or 0. Female panicles as large as 

 the male, feAver-flowered and the flowers larger, the bracts at the 

 bases of tlie branches laciniate ; stamens rudimentary ; ovary ovoid, 

 style short, thick, both glabrous, stigma large and faintly 3-lobed. Rijje 

 drupes ellipsoid, rather blunt at each end, glabrous, very slightlj^ tri- 

 gonous, 1 in. long and '6 in. in diam., the style persistent; the pedic'cl 

 stout, '6 to '8 in. long, bearing several persistent bracteoles.

The nearest ally of this is G. denticulatum, Blume, but that has 

 much shorter filaments and smaller leaves ; its fruit is unknown. 



16. Canaridm glaucdm, Blume Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. I, 219. A tree 

 40 to 60 feet high : young branches rather slender, lenticellate, deci- 

 duously ru.sty-puberulous. Leaves 12 to 15 in. long, the rachis at fii\st 

 msty-puberulous, ultimately glabrous. Leaflets 7 to 9, oblong or ellip- 

 tic, acute or shortly acuminate, the edges obscurely and minutely 

 crenate or serrate or sub-entire ; upper surface glabrous, the midrib 

 pubescent ; the lower glaucous, rusty-pubescent on the midrib and 

 sometimes on the 10 to 14 pairs of rather prominent spreading 

 main nerves. Stipules rotund-reniform, "4 in. long. Panicles ter- 

 minal, the male as long as, or longer than the leaves, with lax 

 spi'eading branches which become shorter upwards. 3Iale floivers 

 '2 in. long., in small bracteate clusters at the ends of the brancblets ; 

 bracteoles broadly ovate, tomentose outside, deciduous. Calyx cam- 

 panulate with 3 broad shallow blunt teeth. Petals longer than the calyx, 

 broadly ovate-oblong, concave, tomentose outside and glabiescent within 

 like the calyx. Stamens 6, the filaments shorter than the anthers^ free, 

 dilated at the base, attached outside the glabrous disc; rudimentary 

 ovary glabrous. Panicles of female floivers shorter than the males, but 

 the flowers two or three times as large. Ovary globose and glabrous 

 below, grooved and pubescent upwards and tapering into the style.
