filaments are slightly conjoined at the base and appear as if joined iuto 

 a tube, but they are easily separable. 



16. Canarium nitidum, A. W. Benn. in Hook, fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 532. 

 A tree 30 to 50 feet high ; young branches at first puberulous, but 

 speedily glabrous. Leaves 7 to 12 in. long, glabrous, the rachis slender 

 and the petiolules rather long. Leaflets 7 to 9, coriaceous, shining, 

 oblong, shortly acuminate, quite entire, the base rounded or slightly 

 narrowed ; main nerves 7 to 9 pairs, spreading, almost horizontal, very 

 faint; length 3'5 to 6*5 in., breadth 1*2 to 1"8 in.; petiolules "4 to 'Q 

 in., that of the terminal leaflet 1 to 1"5 in. ; stipules deciduous (not seen). 

 Fruitin short terminal racemes : the drupes when ripe ovoid, tapering to 

 each end, glabrous, 1'25 to 1'75 in. long, and about 1 in. iudiam. Engler 

 in De Cand. Monog. Phaner. IV, 108 ; Wall Cat. 8546 in part.

Male flowers of this are not known. The ripe drupe is much more 

 ovoid than in the majority of the species, and this is the character by 

 •which, so far as the material goes (for male flowers of this are un- 

 known) it is most readily distinguished from G. parvifolium, Benn. 

 A flowering specimen recently collected in Singapore by Mr. H. M. 

 Ridley (No. 3799) may belong to this. Ripe fruit from the same tree 

 is required to settle the matter. 



2. Tkigonochlamts, Hook. f. 



A tree with pustulate tomentose-pubescent branches. Leaves alter- 

 nate, imparipinnate, with opposite petiolulate leaflets. Floivers polyga- 

 mous. Calyx large, keeled, with 3 large connivent valvate segments. 

 Petals 3, vallate, about equalling the calyx. Disc annular. Stamens 6, 

 inserted on the margin of the disc ; filaments very sliort. Ovary 3- 

 celled, nearly globose ; style straight, short, stigma 3-lobed ; ovules 

 2 in each cell, axile. Drupe obliquely globose, 1 -celled, 1-seeded. — A 

 single Malayan species. 



1. Trigonochlamys Griff[TH1I, Hook. fil. in Trans. Linn. Soc. 

 XXIII, 170, t. XXVII. A tree 50 to 100 feet high : young branches 

 rather slender, sparsely lenticellate, rusty-puberulous. Leaves 6 to 12 

 in. long, their rachises minutely tomentose ; leaflets 13 to 15, thinly 

 coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, entire, the base rounded or 

 slightly narrowed : upper sui'face glabrous except the tomentose midrib, 

 pale when dry ; the lower sparsely pubescent, pale brown -when dry 

 and the 13 to 15 pairs of sub-horizontal main nerves rather prominent :
