By far the most common and widely distributed species of the genus in the 
Philippines, and rather variable. Vidal's type is minutely matched by Elmer 
64-^3, and by the specimens from Rizal Province cited above. Quercus concentrica 
Blanco non Lour., and Q. molucca Blanco non Rumpb., are referred here, as 
Blanco's descriptions apply closely to the present species. Quercus clcmcniiana 
was admitted by me on the strength of- identifications made by Von Seemen, but 
an examination of authentic material of King's species, shows that it is 
distinct from Q. soleriana. The mature glaris is about 2 cm long, and from 1.8 
to 2.4 cm in diameter. Local names, T., Haijopag, Alayan, ex Blanco; Cacanii ex 
Vidal; Basacan, Catabang; Bogobo, Vlaian; Moro, Ulan.

This species is manifestly allied to Qucreus soleriana Vidal, but is well char- 
acterized by its very prominently caudate-acuminate leaves. It appears to be 
rather local. King states that he can see no reason why this species should not 
be reduced to Quercus lineata Blume, of the section Cyclohalanopsis, but its leaves 
are entire, and recently collected material from the type locality shows it to 
have erect male spikes, and therefore to be a true Gyclohalanus, Wenzig 1. c. 
states under Q. philippinensis: "Q. llanosii DC. N. 235, Q. ovalis Blanco fl. de 
filip. (ed. 2) p. 502, DC- N. 236, Q. Blancoi A. DC. N. 237 * * * sunt nonnisi 
formae Q. pUUppincnsis DC," but Q. llanosii is a species very distinct from 
Q, philippinensis, while Q. hlancoi is an exact synonym of Q, ovalis, which is 
a species entirely different from both Q. llanosii and Q. philippinensis, as shown 
above.

Some of the specimens from the Province of Bafaan were identified by Von 
Seemen as Quercus hcnncttii ]VUq., and others as Q. wenzigiana King, but they 
arc manifestly all one species, and appear to me to be closer to Q. hennettii Miq., 
than to Q. wenzigiana. They are certainly very close to Maingay'a Malacca 
specimen in Herb. Kew, referred by King to Miguel's spooics. Local names, t., 
Bayucan, Bofnican, Catihang, Palonopoy. 
Malacca, Borneo, and Bangka.
