__NOTOC__
:Protologue: Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 56: 322 (1920).
== Synonyms ==
''Canarium gawadaense'' Baker f. (1923).
== Distribution ==
Papua New Guinea.
== Uses ==
The wood is reputed to be used as kedondong. The oily seeds are edible.
== Observations ==
A medium-sized to fairly large tree up to 40 m tall, bole up to 75 cm in diameter, sometimes buttressed; stipules subpersistent, sometimes inserted on the petiole, elliptical to obovate with a dentate to slightly fimbriate margin; leaves with 7-11(-13) leaflets, leaflets with apex gradually to distinctly shortly to rather long-acuminate, margin entire, glabrous, with 9-15 pairs of secondary veins; inflorescence terminal and axillary, narrowly paniculate; flowers in glomerules, 7 mm long, stamens 6; fruit ovoid, triangular in cross-section, 50-60 mm × 30-40 mm, glabrous. Two varieties have been distinguished. Var. ''globigerum'' Leenh. differs from var. ''kaniense'' by its globose fruits with 3-winged pyrenes. ''C. kaniense'' is found in forests at (25-)1000-2000 m altitude.
