Canangium (Makassar, kananga; Malay, kenanga). Annonaceae. Perfume-yielding tropical trees. Closely allied to Desmos but differing in having the apex of the connectives of the stamens prolonged into a point, instead of being broadened into a hood-like covering for the pollen-sacs: sepals 3; petals 6 in 2 series, valvate, nearly equal, flat, linear; stamens many, closely crowded on the convex torus, the connective produced into a long tapering point; carpels indefinite, clustered in the center of the mass of stamens; ovules in 2 columns or apparently in a single column; style linear or linear-oblong, terminating in an obtuse swelling; ripe carpels (fr.) several, pedicelled, ovoid or oblong and more or less constricted between the seeds. The name Cananga, usually applied to this genus, was used by Aublet in 1775 for an entirely different genus, and cannot therefore be valid for the present one. Baillon recognized this fact, and proposed the name Canangium, without, however, coupling it with specific names. It was taken up by Sir George King in his Annonaceae of British India, 1893, and was applied by him to the celebrated ylangylang tree, Canangium odoratum.
