A widely distributed endemic species, previously confused by me witli Garcima 
venulosa (Blanco) Choisy, but to which Blanco's description does not at all 
closely apply, although the species is sometimes received under the native name 
cited by him. The species erroneously identified by Vidal as G. maingayi Hook. 
f., and of which he figured the staminate flowers, appears to me to be referable 
here, the drawing seems to have been made from immature specimens, and its 
accuracy is very doubtful. On this imperfect drawing Pierre based his Garcinia 
bosohosocnsis, which is also here reduced to 0. dives. The specimens referred by 
Vidal to Garcinia coica Roxb., do not appear to me to be that species, and I have 
doubtfully referred here, Garcinia cowa Vidal, non Roxb., although I am not at 
all sure that the pistillate flower figured by him as Roxburgh's species, is really 
that of Garcinia dives. The type of Garcinia dives is Cuming 1G59, which accord- 
ing to the Kew list was collected in. Panay. The fi'uits appear to be always 
1-celled. Pamp., Pildis; T., M(aahiliicao, Tatlang aiiac, Bilucao; Z., Paniguiuen.

The only Philippine specimen of this species that I have seen is one collected 
on Mangsi Island by the Wilkes Expedition, and now in the U. S. National 
Herbarium. It is commonly cultivated in the Sulu Archipelago, in some parts of 
southern Mindanao, and in southern Ncgros. It does not thrive as far north as 
Manila, but the fruits are to be found in the Manila markets in season, mostiv 
imported from Singapore, rarely from Jolo. The mangosteen.

March, 1907, the former from Agoho Point and the latter from the Bilaran trail: 
locally known as Bunog. 
The specimens agree closely with Pierre's figures and description, and also 
with specimens from trees cultivated in the botanical garden at Buitenzorg.

The only specimen that I have seen that exactly matches Cuming's specimen 
IS Klemme 5661, which is from the same province in which Cuming's specimen 
was collected, according to Cuming's list of localities at Kew. The rudimentary 
ovary in the stammate flowers is wanting, but otlierwise the specimens agree 
perfectly with those referred to G. venulosa below. I suspect that G. cumingiana 
18 only a form of Blanco's species, but careful field work and a full series of 
specimens will be necessary to prove this. 11., Gatasan.
