Leaves of flowering branches J-14 ft. more or lees ; upper leaflets 4^6 by 1^-24 in. ; 

 petiolules \-l in. Flowers variable in size, 9 i to over J in. in length. Calyx campa- 

 nulate, broadly 3-lobed. Petals tomentose above. Ovary glabrous, incrassate above. 

 Cotyledons tripartite, contorted {Blvme).—A. Malayan and Archipelago plant culti-

 acuminate entire, when pressed flat the margins (of young leaves) infolded 

 beneath glabrous, panicles terminal, of ^ fl. lateral branches successively 

 shorter, buds globose or ovoid at first enveloped in rotundate deciduous 

 tawny-tomentose bracts, calyx trifid, petals imbricate, stamens of jj fl. in-

Ceylon, in warm moist districts, ascending to 1500 ft., Thwaites, &o. 



Leaves of flowering shoots 1 ft. more or less ; stipules moderately large inserted on 

 the rachis at some little distance from the base, obhquely rotundate-sagittate, shortly 

 Btipitate, early deciduous {Thwaites); leaflets 4^6 by 14-2^ in., petiolule J-^ in. Fe- 

 male flower J in. long. Ovary glabrous, incrassate above as in 0. commune. Drupe 

 ellipsoidal, smooth, obscurely 3-gonous, with very thick bony stone. — Very nearly allied 

 to G. commune, and now that Thwaites finds rotundate-sagittate early caducous sti- 

 pules, there remains little besides the shorter petiolules of the leaflets to separate it from 

 that species. 



4. C. secundum, A. W. Benn. ; tawny-pubescent, stipules or early 

 deciduous, leaflets 7-9 oblong shortly acuminate entire or faintly den- 

 ticulate glabrous above except midrib, shortly pubescent, with lateral nerves 

 in 10-15 pairs prominent with conspicuous transverse venation beneath, 

 panicles terminal rusty-tomentose, buds subsessile in bracteate sessile or 

 pedunculate glomerules, calyx broadly 3-lobed, petals imbricate, stamens 

 confluent with short disk around ovoid-subulate glabrous rudiment of ovary, 

 fruit trigonous ellipsoidal, with thick bony stone. — Canarium, Wall. Gai.

Leaves 1 ft. more or less on flowering branches, leaflets varying from ovate- to lanceo- 

 late-oblong, upper 3-6 by 1^-24 in., petiolule i to nearly 4 in. Panicles shorter than or 

 as long as leaves, with successively shorter branches ; bracts ovate-oblong and rotundate 

 enclosing the buds. Brupe lJ-2 in., glabrous. — Nearly aUied to C. purpurascercs, but 

 I cannot find stipules in any of the numerous specimens. 



5. C. purpurascens, A. W. Benn. ■ extremities shortly pubescent- 

 tomentose with rotundate-cordate stipules, leaflets 7-9 ovate-oblong to 

 ovate-elliptical acuniinate glabrous except puberulous midrib above pur- 

 plish-glaucescent with minute scattered pubescence and 10-14 pairs 

 of prominent lateral nerves with conspicuous transverse reticulation 

 beneath, panicles terminal and from upper axils, pedicels (of ^ fl.) very
