very stiff hairs on the nerves and reticulations, its setaceous, hirsute stipules, 
and its spicate inflorescence. 
CANARiUM RAMOSM sp. nov. (§ Monadelphia.) 
Arbor alta, omnibus partibus plus minusve hirsutis; foliis 
usque ad 50 cm longis, 4- vel 5-jugis, exstipulatis ; foliolis charta- 
ceis vei membranaceis, 15 ad 24 cm longis, integris, apice ionge 
caudato-acuminatis, basi angustatis, acutis, inaequilateralibus ; 
racemis axillaribus, quam folia brevioribus ; floribus $ ad 
nodos fasciculatis, pedicellatis, paucis, bracteolis minutis; petalis 
oblongis, circiter 13 cm longis ; filamentis basi breviter connatis, 
elongatis ; disco libero, 2.5 mm longo, dense hirsute. 
A tall tree, the branches, leaves, and inflorescence distinctly 
hirsute with more or less scattered, few to many, spreading, 
somewhat brownish hairs. Branches terete, glabrous, brownish, 
lenticellate, the ultimate ones about 5 mm in diameter. Leaves 
alternate, pinnate, up to 50 cm in length, the leaflets 3 to 11, 
the rachis and petiolules distinctly hirsute; leaflets in general 
oblong, the upper ones on each leaf larger than the lower, 15 to 24 
cm long, 5 to 7,5 cm wide, entire, chartaceous or membranaceous, 
of about the same color and equally shining on both surfaces 
when dry, especially hirsute along the midrib and lateral nerves 
on both surfaces, otherwise with very scattered hairs, the apex 
long and slenderly caudate-acuminate, the acumen up to 3 cm 
long, blunt, the base usually inequilateral, acute, sometimes 
rounded on the broader side; lateral nerves 9 to 12 on each 
side of the midrib, distinct, curved, the reticulations rather 
fine, distinct ; petiolules hirsute, 1 to 2 cm long; stipules none. 
Racemes few, solitary in the uppermost axils, sometimes appear- 
ing subterminal, slender, few-flowered, 25 cm long or less, spar- 
ingly hirsute, the flowers in pairs or somewhat fascicled at the 
distant nodes, closer above. Flowers 3-merous, their pedicels 
about 3 mm long. Calyx broadly cup-shaped, sparingly pubescent 
with short hairs externally, about 3 mm long and wide, with 
three, subequal, very broadly ovate, obtuse lobes about 1.5 mm 
long. Petals 3, narrowly oblong, 13 mm long, 3.5 mm wide, 
narrowed more or less at both ends, imbricate, sparingly pubes- 
cent externally, apex suba.cute or obtuse. Stamens 6, united 
for their lower 1 mm, glabrous, the free parts 8 mm long, quite 
free from the disk and inserted outside of it; anthers narrowly 
oblong, 3 mm long. Disk about 2.5 mm long, somewhat tubular 
or cup-shaped, obscurely lobed, densely hirsute externally with 
short brown hairs, the apex with much longer, stiff, ciliate hairs.
