25, prominentibus, utrinque hirsutis; racemis fructiferis axilla- 
ribus, 12 ad 28 cm longis, pedunculatis ; fructibus oblongo- 
ellipticis, glabris, 3 ad 3.5 cm longis, utrinque subaequaliter 
angustatis, acutis, obscure vel vix triangularis, in siccitate longi- 
tudinaliter subprominente 6-costulatis. 
A tall tree, the branches robust, the ultimate branchlets densely 
ferruginous-pubescent with short hairs, 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter, 
striate when dry. Leaves alternate, up to 90 cm in length, the 
petioles, rachis, and petiolules rather densely villous with short 
spreading hairs, the leaflets on both surfaces prominently hirsute 
with stiff, spreading, elongated hairs, the stout petioles about 
8 mm in diameter at the base and somewhat flattened on the 
upper surface; leaflets about 10, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, char- 
taceous to subcoriaceous, entire, greenish-olivaceous when dry, 
shining, the midribs, nerves, and reticulations on both surfaces 
copiously supplied with stiff, pale or brownish, spreading hairs, 
base rounded or somewhat cordate, apex abruptly and rather 
prominently acute-acuminate; lateral nerves 18 to 25 on each 
side of the midrib, very prominent on both surfaces, spreading, 
anastomosing, the primary reticulations prominent; petiolules 
3 to 8 mm long; stipules linear-oblong, stiff, curved, densely to- 
mentose, about 7 mm long. Fruiting racemes axillary, ferru- 
ginous-pubescent, stout, 12 to 28 cm long, fruit-bearing in the 
upper one-half only, the fruiting pedicels stout, about 1 cm long, 
the persistent calyx-lobes triangular-ovate, acute, ferruginous- 
pubescent, 5 to 7 mm long. Fruits oblong-elliptic, scarcely or 
not at all 3-angled, 3 to 3.5 cm long, 1.5 to 1.8 cm in diameter, 
pale-brown when dry, glabrous or with very few, scattered, stiff, 
brown hairs, subequally narrowed at both ends, the apex acute, 
longitudinally 6-ridged when dry, the ridges rather prominent, 
usually also with fainter intermediate ridges.

(type), 24&50 Ramos, February and March, 1916, on forested slopes at 
low altitudes, locally known as malapiliay. 
A species in many respects resembling Canarium racemosum Merr., of 
Mindanao, from which it is readily distinguished by its entire, not denti- 
culate leaves; it differs also in numerous other characters, such as its 
thinner, more acuminate, more hirsute leaflets, and its nearly glabrous 
fruits. It seems to be less closely allied to Canarium. costulatum Elm.
