subcoriaceis, 7 ad 16 cm longis, integris, utrinque subaequaliter 

 angustatis, ba&i acutis, apice acuminatis, nervis utrinque 8 ad 

 10, subtus prominentibus ; infructescentibus axillaribus, soli- 

 tariis, circiter 10 cm longis, racemosis; fructibus oblongis, cir- 

 citer 1.5 cm longis, obscure 3-angulatis, apiculatis, breviter pedi- 

 cellatis, pedicellis calycibusque breviter cinereo-pubescentibus. 



A tree about 9 m high, glabrous except the flowers. Branches 

 slender, terete, grayish, the very slender branchlets reddish- 

 brown as are the petioles and rachises. Leaves alternate, the 

 rachis and petiole 2 to 6 cm long, slender; leaflets 1 to 3, 

 subcoriaceous, elliptic-oblong, olivaceous, somewhat shining 

 when dry, entire, of about the same color on both surfaces, 6 

 to 17 cm long, 3 to 7 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the 

 acute base and to the rather prominently acuminate apex; 

 lateral nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, prominent 

 on the lower surface, anastomosing, the reticulations promi- 

 nent; petiolules of the lateral leaflets, when present, about 8 

 mm long, the petioles of the simple leaves up to 3 cm long. 

 Infructescence simple, racemose, axillary, slender, up to 10 cm 

 long, apparently flower bearing only in the upper part. 

 Flowers not seen. Calyx, in fruit, cinereous-pubescent with 

 short hairs, the lobes 3, ovate, acute or obtuse, about 2.5 mm 

 long, the pedicels stout, pubescent, 1.3 mm long. Mature fruits 

 oblong, about 1.5 cm long, about 7 mm in diameter, apiculate, 

 indistinctly, or the upper part distinctly 3-angled, the pericarp 

 1 mm thick or less, brownish, somewhat wrinkled when dry.

A species well characterized by its 1- and 3-foliolate leaves, both types 

 occurring on the same branches. In this character it differs from all 

 known species of the genus. On account of its fruit characters and its 

 general aspect I have placed it in the same section with CaTiarium villoaum 

 F.-Vill. (C. cumingii Engl.). 



CANARIUM DOLICHOPHYLLUM sp. nov. . 



Arbor circiter 18 m alta plus minusve pubescentibus ; ramulis

 citate pallidis, nitidis, integris, usque ad 25 cm longis et 5 cm 

 latis, apice tenuiter caudato-acuminatis, basi subrotundatis, 

 supra glabris, subtus pubescentibus; nervis utrinque 18 ad 20, 

 subtus valde prominentibus, reticulis primariis subparallelis, 

 prominentibus; infructescentibus axillaribus, racemosis, circiter 

 20 cm longis, f errugineo-pubescentibus ; fructibus ovoideis ad 

 subellipsoideis, obtusis, glabris vel leviter hirsutis, pallidis.
