538 XXXVI. BURSERACE^. (Alfred W. Bennett.) [Santiria. 



rounded, lateral nerves about 10 pairs curved and weak towards margin,, 

 panicle pyramidal rather compact ferniginously-pubescent divaricately 

 branched, bracts obsolete, pedicels shorter than the flowers, calyx ultimately 

 truncate-dentate, stamens shorter than petals. 



Malacca, Griffith, Maingay. 



Tree; branchlets with pale-brown irregularly striate bark when young, as well as pe- 

 tioles and petiolules clothed with ferruginous pubescence. Leaves of flowering-shoots 

 12-18 in. ; petiole 4-5 in., closely striate below, shallowly channelled above, petiolnle 

 J-f in. slightly transversely rugose and thickened at either extremity. Panicle 3-4 in., 

 pedicels ^ in. Bracteoles minute, obtuse. Oalyx pubescent. Stamens inserted be- 

 neath the margin of the disk. Drwpe as in S. apiculata, but a more reddish purple 

 when dry.

6. S. leevlgata, Blume Mua. Bot. i. 211 ; leaflets 7-15 glabrous on 

 both surfaces elliptic-lanceolate elliptic or oblong-acuminate, base acute 

 or rounded, midrib prominent above, lateral nerves 12-18 pairs more or 

 less divaricating, panicle - shorter than leaves pyramidally branched, pe- 

 duncle and branches minutely puberulous, bracts obsolete, pedicels as long 

 as the flowers, calyx at length truncate-dentate, stamens about equalling 

 petals, style nearly basal in fruit. Canarium Isevigatum, Miq. Fl. Ind.

Malacca, Griffith, Maingay. — ^Disteib. Sumatra. 



A large tree ; branchlets striate, with decurrent angles from the bases of the leaves 

 and ashy-brown bark with minute white warts. Leaves of flowering shoots 10-18 in. ; 

 petiole 2-4 in., striate and channelled above ; leaflets 4-7 by 14-2 in., petiolule J-4 in. 

 Panicle 6-9 in., peduncle 2|-4 in., pedicels about yV '"i- Bracteoles minute. Calyx 

 minutely hispid, ultimately almost transversely truncate. Sta/mens with fllaments 

 dilated at the base, inserted just below the outer margin of the disk. Drupe siib- 

 globose, J in. diam. — Blume has figured the stamens incorrectly as inserted at the 

 base of the disk, as is proved by the examination of an authentic specimen. 



7. S. multiflora, A. W. Benn. ; leaflets about 7 glabrous above except 

 the prominent tomentose midrib f erruginously pubescent beneath eUiptic- 

 oblong shortly acuminate, base obliquely rounded, lateral nerves about 

 15-18 pairs, panicle shorter than leaves pyramidally branched, peduncle 

 and branches ochraceously pubescent, bracts caducous, pedicels as long 

 as the flowers, calyx at length truncate-dentate, stamens about equalling 

 the petals, style subterminal in fruit. 



Malacca, Griffith, Maingay. 



Tree ; young branchlets, pedicels and inflorescence ochraceously pubescent. Leaves 

 of flowering shoots 6-12 in. ; petiole 2-i in., striate and flat above ; leaflets 4-6 by 

 14-2 J in., petiolule \-^ in. Pcmide 4-6 in., peduncle J-IJ in., pedicels yV in. BraB- 

 teoles minute. Calyx minutely hispid. Petals covered with a glaucous bloom. 

 Stamens with filaments slightly dilated at the base, inserted just below the outer mar- 

 gin of the disk. Drupe ^ in. long, globosely cylindric, reticulate and pruinose when 

 dry ; stone woody ; fruit-pedicel J in. long,- stout. — This agrees in everything except 

 the small number of leaflets with S. tomentosa, Bl., which occurs in Sumatra, and with 

 which it may eventually prove identical. 



8. S< maln^ayl, A. W. Benn. ; leaflets 7-9 glabrous on both sides 

 oblong-lanceolate shortly acuminate, base acute, lateral nerves about 10 

 curving towards the margiii, panicle shorter than the leaves cymosely dicho- 

 tomoUsly branched, peduncle and branches minutely puberulous finally 

 glabrescent, bracts obsolete, pedicels rather longer than the flowers, calyx- 

 teeth deltoid obtijse, stamens shorter than the petals.
