This species is manifestly allied to the preceding one, but differs in its 

 longer leaves and more numerous leaflets which are regularly crenate- 

 dentate and although rounded, are never cordate at the base. 



PROTIUM Burman 



PROTIUM CONNARIFOLIUM (Perk.) comb. nov. 



Canarium connarifolium Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 92. 



This species, of which Dr. Perkins had no fruiting material, and of 

 which she described only the male flowers is shown to be a representative 

 of the genus Protium by additional material. It is not closely allied to 

 Protium javanicum Burm., from which it differs in vegetative characters 

 and its very short inflorescence. The fruits are apparently subglobose, 

 when mature about 1.5 cm in diameter, ultimately 2- or 3-valved, and with 

 1 to 3 pyrenes, the pyrenes hard, about 8 mm long. It is further distin- 

 guished from Canarium by its 4-merous flowers. The species is repre- 

 sented by the following material, all from Palawan: Merrill 787 (cotype), 

 Bur. Sci. 758, 75i, 7S7, -866 Foxworthy, For. Bur. 2160U Agama, from 

 Iwahig, Alphonso XIII, and Mount Victoria, flowering February to May. 



The genus is new to the Philippines.

A tree about 15 m high, entirely glabrous. Branches terete, 

 light-gray, somewhat striate when dry. Leaves 25 to 35 cm 

 long, the leaflets 7, oblong-elliptic to oblong-lanceolate, 12 to 18 

 cm long, 3.5 to 6 cm wide, chartaceous or subcoriaceous, pale 

 and shining when dry, entire, the apex slenderly caudate-acumi- 

 nate, acumen blunt, 1.5 to 2.5 cm long, the base acute, equilateral 

 or nearly so ; lateral nerves 12 to 14 on each side of the midrib, 

 prominent, anastomosing, the reticulations lax, rather distinct; 

 petiolules 1 to 2 cm long. Panicles axillary, pyramidal, up to 

 15 cm long, branched at or from near the base, the branches 

 few, spreading, the lower ones 5 to 7 cm long. Flowers about 

 3 mm in diameter, greenish-yellow, their pedicels 2 to 3 mm 

 long. Calyx shallow, 2.5 mm in diameter, the lobes rounded, 

 about 1 mm long, 2 to 2.5 mm wide. Petals 3, broadly ovate. 

 2.5 mm wide and about 2.2 mm long, acute or obtuse, glabrous. 

 Disk annular, thick, glabrous, obscurely undulate; stamens 6. 

 the filaments broadened below, 0.5 mm long, attached to the outer 

 part of the disk ; anthers 0.5 mm long. Ovary ovoid, glabrous,
