Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keitliley, Mrs. Clemens s. n., September, 1907. 



A characteristic species apparently most closely allied to Canarium asperum 

 l^.enth., of north Celebes. Readily recognized by its strongly-nerved leaves, large 

 llowers, racemose inflorescence, and triangular fruits.
