centibus; filamentis basi connatis; discus nulius; ovarium rudi- 
mentarium glabrum, breviter stipitatum; fructibus junioribus 
anguste ovoideis, circiter 12 mm longis. 
A small tree, about 6 m high, glabrous except the younger 
parts and the sparingly pubescent spikes. Branches slender, 
terete, glabrous, pale-brownish, the young branchlets usually 
densely subferrugineous-pubescent. Leaves alternate, up to 30 
cm long, glabrous, the leaflets oblong, firmly chartaceous or 
subcoriaceous, 12 to 20 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, entire, olivaceous 
or greenish when dry, shining and of about the same color on 
both surfaces, base acute, rarely rounded, apex rather promi- 
nently blunt-acuminate; lateral nerves about 11 on each side of 
the midrib, very prominent on the lower surface as are the 
primary lax reticulations, curved, anastomosing; petiolules 1 
to 1.5 cm long; stipules linear, somewhat curved, stiff, about 5 
mm long. Inflorescence a simple, axillary, solitary spike, the 
staminate ones 10 to 20 cm long, the pistillate ones in fruit up 
to 30 cm in length, when young more or less appressed-pubescent, 
in age glabrous or nearly so. Male flowers white, 3-merous, 
about 6 mm long, scattered or fascicled along the rachis. Calyx, 
cup-shaped, 3 mm long, externally appressed-pubescent, the lobes 
triangular, acute, at least 1 mm long. Petals 3, oblong, about 
6 mm long, 1.2 mm wide, the apical portions sparingly pubescent, 
imbricate. Disk none. Stamens 6, the filaments united below 
into a 1 mm long tube, the free portions slender, 2.5 mm long; 
anthers oblong, 2 mm long. Rudimentary ovary free, ovoid, 
glabrous, angular, on a short stipe as long as the ovary. Im- 
mature fruits narrowly ovoid, about 1.2 cm long, narrowed up- 
ward, glabrous.

By definition this species falls in the section Parvifolia Engl., but does 
not resemble the other species placed here; the disk is entirely wanting. 
In facies it somewhat resembles Canarium thyrsoideum Perk., and C. 
polyneuron Perk., differing however in its fewer leaflets, different inflores- 
cences, and very different floral characters.
