1. Canarium planchoni, King, A tree, 50 or 60 feet high ; young 

 branches glabrous, cinereous. Leaves 5 to 10 in. long, stipules deciduous. 

 Leaflets 7 to 13, thinly coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate or elliptic-oblong, 

 shortly and bluntly acuminate ; the base rounded, slightly oblique ; 

 both surfaces glabrous, the upper pale when dry and the nervation 

 obsolete, the lower brown with the 10 to 14 pairs of sub-horizontal 

 nerves slightly prominent ; length 2 to 4 in., breadth *9 to 15 in. ; petio- 

 lules *15 to '3 in., the terminal one longer. Panicles numerous, slender, 

 axillary, much shorter than the leaves, pale puberulous ; the branches 

 distant, ascending, the small flowers crowded near their apices. Flowers 

 '1 in. long, with several very minute deciduous bracteoles just 

 beneath the calyx. Calyx campanulate, deeply cleft into 3 ovate, tri- 

 angular lobes, tomentose outside, glabrous inside. Petals slightly 

 larger than the sepals, deltoid, with a short subulate inflected apex, 

 sub-concave, less tomentose outside than the sepals, glabrous inside. 

 Stamens 3, connivent ; the anthers innate, broadly ovate : filaments 

 shorter than the anthers, flat, dilated at the base and inserted on the edge 

 of the large cupular fleshy disc. Ovary in the male flowers imperfect : 

 in the female flowers small, ovate, 3-grooved, glabrous ; style terminal, 

 short, 3-grooved, as is the stigma. Fruit ovoid, slightly gibbous, globular,

2. Canarium caudatum, King n. sp. A tree 20 to 40 feet high ; 

 young shoots pale brown, lenticellate, all parts except the calyx quite 

 glabrous. Leaves 8 to 13 in. long, stipules (if any) deciduous. Leaflets 

 5 to 7, coriaceous, oblong to ovate, tapering to both ends, the apex 

 caudate-acuminate, the edges entire and sometimes slightly undulate; 

 both surfaces glabrous, shining, the reticulations distinct on the upper 

 surface, and the 7 to 9 pairs of ascending curving interarching main 

 nerves pale on the lower; length 3 to 6 in., breadth I - 5 in. to 2'25 in., petio- 

 lules - 4 to "5 in., the terminal one 1*2 to 1*6 in. Male panicles terminal, 

 narrowly pyramidal, few-branched, shorter than the leaves, the brac- 

 teoles (if any) deciduous. Flowers few, at the extremities of the 

 branches, *2 in., long. Calyx widely campanulate, the mouth with 

 3 broad, shallow teeth, minutely pubescent outside, glabrous inside. 

 Petals longer than the calyx, imbricate, ovate, acute, the base truncate,
