Natural order
A tree 50—70 feet high; young branches, rachises of the loaves and the inflorescence
densely clothed with rusty, hispiduious, spreading and mostly deciduous hairs;
leaves 3-5—5-5 dm. long, the stipules, if any, deciduous; leaflets 7—9, oblong to oblongelliptio,
sometimes slightly obovate, shortly and abruptly acuminate, the edges entire,
tlie^ base often unequal-sided, cuueate; length 12-o—20 cm., breadth 4 - 5 - 6 - 5 cm.,
petiolule 1 0 - 1 3 mm.; both surfaces reticulate, the upper glabrous, the lower sparsely
hispiduious, especially on the midrib and nerves; main-nerves 13—14 pairs, slightly
prominent on the lower surface, spreading, curving, intcrarehing near the edge;
¡imiales usually much longer than the leaves, terminal, their branches short, lax,
luther few-flowered, the ultimate branchlets glabrous, the larger hispidnlous-pubcscent ;
Jlomrs 8 mm. in diam., glabrous, shorter than the slender, minutely bracteolate pedi-'
eels; cali/i with 3 broad, spreading, very blunt teeth, much shorter than the corolla;
pslak 3, thick, slightly keeled on the back, ovate, obtuse; slamem 6, free, about
as long as the petals, inserted on the outer margin of the 6-lobed eushion-Uke
disk; anthers ovate, about as long as the thick, rather flattened fllaments; rudiment
a r y ovarg submeraod in the disk, small, subcylindric, glabrous, as is the thiek fluted
s t y l e; stigma S-Iobed; female flowers unknown; ripi drupel narrowly ellipsoid, trfgonouj.

The drupes in this species have the remains of the stigma terminal and in this
respect they agree teehmcally with the diagnosis of Camxrium. But they are not equally
3 sided as in that genus, one side being wider and much more rounded than the
other two. The structure of the flower is not at all that of Canarium, and the species
is therefore transferred to Santiria.
