A species common and widely distributed in Luzon, the oldest specific name 
being here adopted. From the description given by Bailhm, Phelobocalymna cal- 
leryana and Gonocaryum tarlacensc are conspecific, but Platea la^iflora Miers, 
is a quite different species. The species seems to be very closely allied to the 
Malayan Gonocaryum teysmnnniftnum 8cheff.
