<big>''[[Canarium oleosum]]'' (Lamk) Engl.</big>
__NOTOC__
:Protologue: Engl. & Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam. 3(4): 241, fig. 136Q-S (1896).
== Synonyms ==
''Canarium microcarpum'' Willd. (1806), ''Canarium laxiflorum'' Decne (1834).
== Vernacular names ==
*Indonesia: rani kalang bahi (Timor), kayu rasamala (Bacan, Obi and Buru), kanari minyak (Ambon)
*Papua New Guinea: grey canarium (general).
== Distribution ==
The Lesser Sunda Islands, northern Sulawesi, the Moluccas, New Guinea and New Britain.
== Uses ==
The wood is used as kedondong, e.g. for light construction, mouldings and interior finish. There have been unconfirmed reports that the wood of the buttresses is a component of the aromatic wood "kayu rasamala". An oil can be extracted from the resin which is used as a balm on wounds and for hair lotions. In New Guinea, it is mixed with coconut oil for the latter purpose.
== Observations ==
A medium-sized to large tree up to 50 m tall, bole up to 50 cm in diameter, sometimes buttressed, bark surface almost black, inner bark exuding a yellow and fragrant resin; stipules absent; leaves with (1-)7(-11) leaflets, leaflets with a gradually narrowing blunt apex, margin entire, glabrous, with 10-15 pairs of secondary veins which are conspicuous on both sides; inflorescence axillary, narrowly and laxly paniculate; flowers 5-7 mm long, stamens 6; fruit ovoid to obovoid, circular in cross-section, 12-20 mm × 7-13 mm, glabrous. ''C. oleosum'' is found in primary and secondary forest, up to 400(-1200) m altitude. The density of the wood is 560-740 kg/m<sup>3</sup>at 15% moisture content.
== Selected sources ==
