Burseraceae. 95 



interarcliing near the e(\^e\ length 8 — 15 cm, width 3 — 6 cm, 

 the lower leaflets the smallest; petiolules 1,5 — 2 cm, glabrous; 

 stipules ovate- oblong, chartaceous, sometimes persistent. Panicles 

 of male flowers terminal and axillary, numerous, 6 — 12 cm 

 long, with large, ovate, glabrous, thick, persistent bracts at 

 their base, the short branchlets bearing the flowers at their ex- 

 tremities in bracteate fascicles. Buds globular, 5 mm in diam., 

 longer than the stout pedicels. Flowers 8 mm long; bracteoles 

 broadly ovate, papyraceous, pubescent outside. Calyx narrowly 

 campanulate, with 3 broad teeth which are densely brown- 

 pubescent outside, and thinly pubescent inside, 5 mm long. 

 Petals 3, fleshy, longer than the calyx, ovate-oblong, brown- 

 pubescent outside. Stamens 6, filaments about as long as the 

 anthers, free, attached outside the disk; rudimentary ovary 

 almost glabrous. Panicles of female flowers about as long as 

 the males, fewer -flowered, but the flowers 12 mm in length. 

 Stamens 6, shorter than the pistil, and smaller than in the male 

 flower. Ovary globular with a short, thick style; stigma large, 

 capitate, 3-lobed. Drupe ovoid, yellow-pubescent, trigonous, 

 4,5 — 7 cm long, 2 — 2,5 cm diam., tapering to the top, the per- 

 sistent thickened calyx forming an open, sub -entire cup at 

 its base.

This species is best distinguished from Canariiim denii- 

 culatum Bl. by its ovate, glabrous stipules, those of C. denti- 

 cnlaUim being digitate. The flowers in our species are larger 

 and the inflorescence much smaller than in Blume's plant. 



12. Caiiariuiii polyaiithum Perk. n. sp. Tree?; young branches 

 stout, glabrous, brown. Leaves 30 cm long, imparipinnate; 

 common -petiole longitudinally furrowed, thinly pubescent; 

 leaflets 3 — 5 ovate-oblong or ovate-lanceolate, membranaceous 

 or subpapyraceous, narrowly and acutely acuminate, at the base 

 rounded, often slightly unequal-sided, sometimes cuneate, both 

 surfaces glabrous, except the sparsely pubescent midrib, entire; 

 main nerves 15 — 17 pairs, ascending, curving, interarching 

 near the edge, above nerves and veins obscure, below slightly
