A species which comes near to Canarium Vrieseaniim Engl, 

 but differs notably in Jie number of leaflets and the glabrity 

 and form of the leaves. 

 Caiiarium calopliyllum Perk. n. sp. Tree?; young branches 

 stout, brown-pubescent, ultimately glabrous and gray. Leaves 

 18 — 21cm long, common-petiole glabrous, imparipinnate; leaflets 

 oblong or oblong- elliptic, shortly and bluntly acuminate, at the 

 base cuneate or somewhat rounded, entire, shining above, pale- 

 brown beneath (when dry), coriaceous, on both surfaces glabrous 

 with distinct reticulations; main nerves 13 — 14 pairs, prominent, 

 shining, broad and conspicuous on the lower surface, depressed 

 on the upper, ascending, spreading, interarching very near the 

 edge; length 8— 10 cm, width 4 — 5 cm; petiolules stout, 1 cm 

 long. Female flowers unknown; fruiting racemes about 10 cm 

 long, peduncles stout. Fruit small, narrowly ovoid - ellipsoid, 

 subtrigonous, 12 — 15 mm long, 8 mm diam, pubescent; the 

 persistent calyx 3 -angled, woody, pubescent; stone thick, bony. 



Luzon Isl., Prov. Kizal, Bosoboso (Merrill no. 1858; in 

 fruit in April 1903). 



This species is closely allied to Canarium microcarimm 

 Willd., the chief differences being (I) that the persistent calyx 

 is much larger and more deeply lobed than in Canarium micro- 

 carpuni Willd ; and (2) that the leaves of this are coriaceous, 

 with very stout petioles and petiolules. 



Caiiariuiu carapifoliiim Perk. n. sp. Tree 20 — 25 m high; 

 young branches stout, brown -pubescent. Leaves 27 — 40 cm 

 long, common-petiole glabrous, imparipinnate; leaflets ovate, 

 ovate -oblong or ovate -lanceolate, the base rounded, often slightly 

 unequal -sided, acutely long-acuminate, chartaceous or sub-coria- 

 ceous, entire, the upper surface shining, glabrous, the lower 

 glabrous except at the midrib and main nerves which are clothed 

 with a few short hairs; main nerves 13 — 17 pairs, spreading, 

 curving, interarching near the edge, beneath stout, shining, con- 

 spicuous (when dry), above slightly prominent, veins parallel, 

 at right angles to the nerves; length 14—18 cm, width 4-7; 

 petiolules about 1 cm long, the terminal one longer. Racemes 

 axillary, clustered at the ends of the branches, 3 — 5 cm long, 

 brown-pubescent, with a few short branches; the flowers few 

 and in shortly pedicelled clusters with minute bracteoles beneath
