X, c, 1 Merrill: New or Noteworthy Philippine Plants, XI 23 



brevioribus, 5 ad 10 cm longis, floribus 5 solitariis, baud 

 fasciculatis. 



A tree about 20 m high, most parts except the upper surfaces 

 of the leaflets more or less covered with very short brown hairs. 

 Leaves about 35 cm long, the leaflets 6 or 7, coriaceous, oblong- 

 elliptic to oblong-obovate, 7 to 12 cm long, 3.5 to 6 cm wide, 

 rather dark-brown when dry, the upper surface glabrous, shin- 

 ing, base acute to rounded, apex prominently and abruptly 

 acuminate, the acumen blunt, 1 cm long or less; lateral nerves 

 12 to 14 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower sur- 

 face, anastomosing, the reticulations rather close, prominent; 

 petiolules 1 to 1.5 cm long; stipules stout, stiff, pubescent, curved, 

 about 5 mm long. Spikes 5 to 10 cm long, simple, the flowers 

 scattered below, solitary, above rather close, sessile. Calyx 

 oblong-ovate, about 4 mm long, pubescent, the teeth 3, broadly 

 ovate, obtuse, 1 mm long. Petals 3, narrowly oblong, acute to 

 obtuse, about 5 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, pubescent externally in 

 the upper part. Disk annular, glabrous, rather thick, more or 

 less lobed, 1 mm high or less ; filaments 6, slender, 1.5 mm long, 

 attached to the outer upper part of the disk ; anthers 1 mm long. 

 Ovary globose-obovoid, pubescent, 1.5 mm in diameter; style 

 stout, pubescent, about 1 mm long, cylindric; stigma capitate, 

 obscurely sulcate. 



Masbate, Marintoc River, collected by P. T. Barnes, May, 1903, distrib- 

 uted as Merrill 2617. In forests, locally known as mili-pili. 



A species in facies much resembling Canarium lagunense Merr., but 

 with longer leaves, more numerous leaflets, very much shorter inflores- 

 cences, the flowers not at all fascicled, and the flowers in structure quite 

 different from those of C. lagunense. The indumentum on the younger 

 parts, inflorescence, and lower surfaces of the leaflets is quite the same in 

 both forms. 



CANARIUM OLIGANTHUM sp. nov. § Crassipyrena. 



Arbor, ut videtur alta, partibus junioribus plus minusve pube- 

 rulis; foliis circiter 70 cm longis, foliolis circiter 9, amplis, in- 

 tegris, chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, in siccitate brunneis, usque 

 ad 25 cm longis, et 11 cm latis, acuminatis, nervis utrinque 15 

 ad 17, prominentibus ; inflorescentiis axillaribus, solitariis, cir- 

 citer 15 cm longis, anguste paniculatis, paucifloris ; floribus longe 

 pedicellatis, ebracteolatis, circiter 8 mm longis, 



A tree, apparently tall, the trunk about 50 cm in diameter, 

 the branchlets, petioles, midribs on the lower surface of the 

 leaflets, and inflorescence more or less puberulent with pale- 

 brownish hairs. Branches terete, lenticellate, stout, striate, the 

 ultimate branchlets about 1 cm in diameter, pale-brownish.
