prominent on the lower surface, strongly curved, obscurely anas- 

 tomosing near the margins, the reticulations not at all prom- 

 inent ; petiolules of the lateral leaflets 0.6 to 1.5 cm long, of the 

 terminal one up to 4 cm in length. Panicles terminal, 13 cm 

 long in fruit, brown-puberulent, branched from the base. Per- 

 sistent calyces about 3 mm in diameter, puberulent. Immature 

 fruits narrowly ovoid, somewhat inequilateral or somewhat gib- 

 bous, about 2 cm long, glabrous, not at all angled, the pericarp 

 wrinkled when dry. 



Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Taglibao River, For. Bur. 13772 

 Foxworthy, DeMesa, & Villamil, June 17, 1912, growing- at sea level 

 immediately back of the mangrove swamp, known to the Moros as bauli. 



The species is apparently a rather characteristic one, and is perhaps 

 as closely allied to Canarium calophyllum Perk., as to any other. It 

 differs from Canarium calophyllum, however, in its fewer nei-ved leaves 

 and in its much smaller persistent calyces. 



CANARIUM STENOPHYLLUM sp. nov. § Eucanarium, Monadelphu. 



Arbor alta partibus junioribus exceptis glabra; foliis circiter 

 20 cm longis, foliolis 13 ad 15, lanceolatis, integris, usque ad 11 

 cm longis, inaequilateralibus, leviter falcatis vel subrectis, basi 

 acutis, apice longe acuminatis; racemis $ axillaribus, solitariis, 

 8 ad 10 cm longis; floribus circiter 1.3 cm longis, cylindraceis, 

 filamentis deorsum connatis, disco libero. 



A tree reaching a height of 40 meters, glabrous except the 

 younger parts and the inflorescence. Branches terete, glabrous, 

 lenticellate, grayish-brown, about 5 mm in diameter, the branch- 

 lets more or less appressed-villous or hirsute, especially the 

 growing parts. Leaves alternate, about 20 cm long. Leaflets 

 13 to 15, lanceolate, inequilateral, straight or somewhat falcate, 

 chartaceous, entire, 1 to 2.4 cm wide, 6 to 11 cm long, narrowed 

 below to the acute or obtuse base, gradually narrowed upward 

 to the long and rather slenderly acuminate apex, when dry oli- 

 vaceous or subolivaceous, shining; lateral nerves about 9 on 

 each side of the midrib, slender, curved, anastomosing ; petiolules 

 about 2 mm long; stipules not seen, if present very early deci- 

 duous. Male racemes axillary, solitary, 8 to 10 cm long, slightly 

 pubescent, the flowers somewhat crowded in the upper one-half, 

 white, their pedicels about 2 mm long. Calyx about 4 mm long, 

 the lobes 3, broadly ovate, 2 mm long. Petals 3, oblong, im- 

 bricate, glabrous, about 13 mm long, 5 mm wide. Stamens 6, 

 the filaments united below into a 2 mm high disk, the free parts 

 6 to 7 mm long; anthers oblong, 3 mm long. Disk free, oblong- 

 cylindric, hirsute, somewhat fluted, about 4 mm long, 2.5 mm 

 in diameter.
