prominent on the lower surface, strongly curved, obscurely anas- 

 tomosing near the margins, the reticulations not at all prom- 

 inent ; petiolules of the lateral leaflets 0.6 to 1.5 cm long, of the 

 terminal one up to 4 cm in length. Panicles terminal, 13 cm 

 long in fruit, brown-puberulent, branched from the base. Per- 

 sistent calyces about 3 mm in diameter, puberulent. Immature 

 fruits narrowly ovoid, somewhat inequilateral or somewhat gib- 

 bous, about 2 cm long, glabrous, not at all angled, the pericarp 

 wrinkled when dry. 



Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Taglibao River, For, Bur. 1S772 

 Foxworthy, DeMesa, & Villamil, June 17, 1912, growing at sea level 

 immediately back of the mangrove swamp, known to the Moros as baHli. 



The species is apparently a rather characteristic one, and is perhaps 

 as closely allied to Canarium calophyllum Perk., as to any other. It 

 differs from Canarium calophyllum, however, in its fewer nerved leaves 

 and in its much smaller persistent calyces. 



CANARIUM STENOPHYLLUM sp. nov. § Eucanarium, Monadelpha. 



Arbor alta partibus junioribus exceptis glabra; foliis circiter 

 20 cm longis, foliolis 13 ad 15, lanceolatis, integris, usque ad 11 

 cm longis, inaequilateralibus, leviter falcatis vel subrectis, basi 

 acutis, apice longe acuminatis ; racemis $ axillaribus, solitariis, 

 8 ad 10 cm longis; floribus circiter 1.3 cm longis, cylindraceis, 

 filamentis deorsum connatis, disco libero. 



A tree reaching a height of 40 meters, glabrous except the 

 younger parts and the inflorescence. Branches terete, glabrous, 

 lenticellate, grayish-brown, about 5 mm in diameter, the branch- 

 lets more or less appressed-villous or hirsute, especially the 

 growing parts. Leaves alternate, about 20 cm long. Leaflets 

 13 to 15, lanceolate, inequilateral, straight or somewhat falcate, 

 chartaceous, entire, 1 to 2.4 cm wide, 6 to 11 cm long, narrowed 

 below to the acute or obtuse base, gradually narrowed upward 

 to the long and rather slenderly acuminate apex, when dry oli- 

 vaceous or subolivaceous, shining; lateral nerves about 9 on 

 each side of the midrib, slender, curved, anastomosing ; petiolules 

 about 2 mm long; stipules not seen, if present very early deci- 

 duous. Male racemes axillary, solitary, 8 to 10 cm long, slightly 

 pubescent, the flowers somewhat crowded in the upper one-half, 

 white, their pedicels about 2 mm long. Calyx about 4 mm long, 

 the lobes 3, broadly ovate, 2 mm long. Petals 3, oblong, im- 

 bricate, glabrous, about 13 mm long, 5 mm wide. Stamens 6, 

 the filaments united below into a 2 mm high disk, the free parts 

 6 to 7 mm long; anthers oblong, 3 mm long. Disk free, oblong- 

 cylindric, hirsute, somewhat fluted, about 4 mm long, 2.5 mm 

 in diameter.
