10. Canarium commune, Linn. A very tall tree : young branches pale 

 puberulous, or almost glabrous. Leaflets 7 to 9, sub-coriaceous, ovate- 

 elliptic, acuminate, entire, the base sub-cuneate, both surfaces glabrous ; 

 main nerves 10 to 14 pairs, spreading, ratber prominent ; length 3 to 5 

 in., breadth I "3 to 2 in., petiolules about *5 in. ; stipules persistent, 

 elliptic-oblong, puberulous, veined, about 1 in. long. Panicles terminal, 

 lax, spreading, minutely puberulous ; the flowers clustered at the apices 

 of the branches, their buds enclosed in rotund, very concave, minutely 

 tomentose bracts. Calyx campanulate, broadly 3-lobed. Petals 3, 

 ovate-rotund, concave. Stamens 6, the filaments shorter than the 

 anthers, free ; rudimentary pistil (in the male flower) hairy. Ovary (in 

 female flower) oblong- globular, glabrous, the style short and thick; sti- 

 gma 3-lobed (fide Ksenig). Fruit ellipsoidal, sub-trigonous, the stone bony, 

 1-to 3-celled, 2 in. or more long and 1 to I '25 in. in diam. Kcenig, Ann.

Planted in Penang, Singapore and some of the other provinces, but 

 apparently never wild. 



Kcenig in his description, which is a veiy full one, 3tates that the 

 stipules are " crenate, toothed or sometimes fringed." In all the speci- 

 mens accepted as C. commune which I have seen the stipules are entire, 

 and Rumphius thus figures them. For this has well as for other reasons, 

 I suspect that more than one species is included under the name G. com- 

 mune. L. 



11. Canarium coccineo-bracteatum, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Ben- 

 gal for 1872, pt. 2, p. 296. A tree: young branches stout, minutely 

 pale-pubescent. Leaves 10 to 18 in. long : stipules rather large, pube- 

 rulous, pectinately lobed. Leaflets 5 to 9, opposite, subcoriaceous, broadly 

 ovate, oblong-ovate to oblong, shortly acuminate, setaceous-serrulate 

 or entire on the same tree ; the base oblique, rounded, or sub-cuneate : 

 both surfaces glabrous ; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, slightly prominent 

 beneath ; length 35 to 7"5, breadth 2 to 3 in. ; petiolules "2 to 4 in., the 

 terminal one 1'5 in. Panicles axillary, shorter than the leaves, decidu- 

 ously puberulous, their branches rather long and spreading ; the flowers 

 crowded towards their apices, rather numerous ; bracts longer than the
