occasionally ovate-oblong or ovate, slightly unequilateral especially at 

 the base ; the apex very shortly abruptly and bluntly acuminate, edges 

 entire ; base in the oblong forms snb-cuneate, in the ovate forms broad 

 and rounded ; upper surfaces glabrous and i*eticulate, olivaceous when 

 dry; the lower pale brown when dry, very minutely lepidote ; main 

 nerves 10 to 13 pairs (in the ovate forms only 7 or 8 pairs), spreading, 

 interarching near the edge; length 4 to 6 in., the ovate forms shorter ; 

 breadth 175 to 2*25 in.'; petiolules "5 to '7 in., the terminal one 1*5 in. 

 Panicles axillary or terminal, shorter than the leaves, pale scurfy when 

 young, divaricate, cymose, spreading, the flowers crowded near the extre- 

 mities of the branches, ebr^acteolate. Buds "1 in. in diam., sub-globular, 

 about as long as the clavate pedicels. Calyx campanulate, deeply cut into 

 3, rotund, deltoid, sub-concave teeth, scurfy outside. Petals sab-rotund 

 with a truncate base, slightly concave, longer than the calyx, puber- 

 ulous outside, glabrous inside. Stamens 6. Anthers oblong, about as 

 long as the filaments: the latter flattened, narrow, inserted outside the 

 glabrous, thin, fleshy, lobed disc. Ripe drupes ovoid, ellipsoid or globose, 

 flattened on one side, oblique, obscurely 3-gonous, glabrous, *7 in. long, 

 and *5 in. in diam., the scar of the stigma at the apex of the flattened 

 side. Engler in DeCand. Monog. Phanerog, IV, 162. Santiria Maingayi,

Malacca, (Kew Distrib.) No. 310. Perak : a common tree, King's 

 collector. — Distrib. Sumatra, Java, Borneo. 



Blume's original description (drawn up from specimens from 

 Java and Sumatra) suits this plant well. An authentic specimen of 

 Miquel's Canarium eupteron shows that that species must be reduced 

 here, as must Bennet's Santiria Maingayi of which Maingay's specimen 

 No. 310 (Kew Distrib.) is the type. Canarium sub-repandum, Miq. 

 is, according to its author, closely allied to C. eupteron, Miq. and should 

 probably also be reduced to this. 



8. Santiria lokgifolia, King n. sp. A tree 10 to 20 feet high : 

 young branches very stout, ( - 5 to '75 in. in diam.), their bark brown, 

 glabrous, lenticellate. Leaves 2 to 3 feet long, glabrous ; the rachises 

 stout, flattened below the lowest leaflets, not winged at the bases. Leaflets 

 11 to 15 pairs, narrowly oblong, gradually tapering to the acuminate 

 apex, the base oblique or rounded; main nerves 12 to 14 pairs, spread- 

 ing, curved, not prominent : length 9 to 11 in., breadth 1*75 to 2 - 5 in. ; 

 petiolules '65 to 1 in., stout, enlarged at each end. Flowers unknown. 

 Fruiting panicles much shorter than the leaves, one or two in the axil of 

 a leaf, unequal, only 4 to 7 in. long, glabrous, the branches short.
