92 J. Perkins: 



the calyx. Calyx tubular, about as long as the petals, with 8 

 short triangular teeth, brown -pubescent outside. Petals 3 mm 

 long, 1,5 mm wide, brown -pubescent outside. Stamens 3, 4, 6, 

 shorter than the free, glabrous, filaments, which are inserted 

 outside the pubescent, tleshy, deeply lobed disk. Ovary ovoid, 

 densely brown -pubescent; style short and thick; stigma 3-lobed. 

 Fruit ovoid-ellipsoid, apex acute, rounded, obtuse, glabrous, 

 sometimes somewhat trigonous, 2,5 — 5 cm long, 1,5 cm in 

 diam; the woody persistent calyx 3-angled, the stone bony.

 with flowers and fruit in April 1903); type Pitoga (Merrill 

 no. 2135; April 1903); Pagbalao (Merrill no. 1898; no. 1894

Though closely related to Cmiarium denticidatiim Bl., this 

 is nevertheless easily distinguished by its entire leaflets and its 

 larger fruit. Perhaps this widely distributed tree is identical 

 with Canarium album Blanco and Canarhun luxonicum Miq., 

 but both are nomina nuda, absolutely insufficiently described. 

 Ex(iLER has based a distinct section on a Philippine species of 

 Canarium, characterized by only 3 stamens, while all other 

 Canarium species have 6. I wish to draw attention to the 

 fact, that in Merrill's plant, described above as Canarium 

 carainfolium, I found sometimes 3, 4 and 6 stamens. From 

 Canariimi triandrum our species differs in the nervation nf the 

 leaves. Perhaps this species is a transitional form and the Section 

 Triandra must be abandoned. 



4. Caiiarium coiiiiarifolium Perk. n. sp. Tree 20 m high; young 

 branches, slender, drooping (ex Merrill), rusty-pubcrulous, ulti- 

 mately glabrous, lenticellate. Leaves 10 — 12 cm long, impari- 

 pinnate; leaflets 3, ovate or lanceolate-ovate, the base cuneato 

 or sub-cuneate, narrowly and long-acuminate, coriaceous mucro- 

 nate, entire, above shining, on both surfaces glabrous; main 

 nerves 8 — 10 pairs, spreading, curving, interarching near the 

 edge, rather prominent on both surfaces (when dry); length 

 6,5 — Hem, width 2 — 3,5cm; petiolules 0,8— 1cm long, the 

 terminal one longer. Male panicles axillary, 3 — 6 cm long, 

 minutely rusty-puberulous; the flowers clustered at the apices 

 of the branches; bracts minute, ovate- triangular, on the outside
