98 J. Perkins: 



at the extremities of the branches, rachis brown- pubescent, the 

 lateral branches very short, the flowers in small, dense fascicles 

 at their apices or sometimes solitary, sessile; bracts minute, 

 ovate, brown -pubescent, deciduous. Calyx campanulate, 3 mm 

 deep, with 3 ovate rather short teeth, brown -pubescent outside. 

 Petals oblong, 5 mm long, outside brown -puberulous. Stamens 6, 

 linear, shorter than the glabrous, flattened filaments which are 

 united at the base for a short distance; rudimentary ovary large, 

 somewhat pubescent. 



Luzon, Manila (WAnBURO no. 13240 type in flower); Prov. 

 Zambales, Subic (Mehkill no. 1748, April 1903); Prov. Isabela 

 Malunii (Wakburg no. 11675); Mindoro Isl., Abonabon (Mkhkili. 

 no. 2177; in bud May 1903). 



This is closely allied to Canarium Oiwiingn Engler and 

 Canarium Merrillii Perk, but differs from both in tiie form of 

 the leaf. 



The specimen no. 13 240 of Warbdkg, being the most com- 

 plete, I regard as the type of this species. Merrills no. 2177 

 differs in some respects from the type, the leaves being glabrous, 

 but as the structure of the flower is the same in both specimens, 

 I have not ventured to establish a new species upon it. Number 

 11675 of Warburg is sterile, therefore, it is impossible to 

 know if it really belongs to this species. 



16. Canarium thyrsoidcuin Perk. n. sp. Tree 29 m high (ex Mer- 

 rill); young branches stout, tawny- pubescent. Leaves impari- 

 pinnate, 32 — 36 cm long; common -petiole with a few scattered 

 hairs, longitudinally furrowed; leaflets about 11, ovate, ovate - 

 oblong or oblong, broadly and abruptly acuminate, at the base 

 rounded, oblique, papyraceous, entire, glabrous on both sur- 

 faces, shining above, reticulations minute and -distinct on both 

 surfaces when dry; main nerves 13 — 16 pairs, ascending, 

 spreading, rather more prominent on the lower surface; length 

 6—12 cm, width 4—4,5 cm; lateral petiolules 1—1,5 cm long, 

 terminal 3 — 3,5 cm long; stipules linear, tomentose, deciduous, 

 5 mm long. Panicles axillary, clustered at the extremities of 

 the branches, 9 — 24 cm long. Flowers (very young) 2 mm 

 long, in lateral fascicles that are peduncled or subsessile. Calyx 

 thinly yellow-pubescent, on both surfaces. Petals 3, oblong 

 with a short inflexed apex, slightly pubescent outside, glabrous
