Blume's original description, drawn np from specimens from Sumatra, Java and
Borneo, suits this plant well. An authentic specimen of Omtriuin Eupteron Miq.
shows that that species must be reduced here, as must also Santiria Maingayi A. W".
Benn., of which a specimen collected by Maingay (310 K. D.) is the type. Oanariun
sabrepanium Miq. is, according to its author, closely allied to C. Eupteron Miq., and
should probably also be reduced here.

This is so very unlike any described species of Santiria that in spite of the
absence of flowers on the only specimens hitherto communicated it seems desirable to
name and describe it. The small size of the tree and the large size of its leaves
render its recognition in the genus easy.
