Glochidion benguetense Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 1 (1908) 304. 
This, or at least G. sahlanense Elmer, tlie types of which seem to me different 
stages of development of the same species, known otherwise from Benguet and 
Tayabas, ia represented by 6878 and 1027 Jf.

Glochidion mindorense C. B. Rob. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) Bot. 98. 
This species, represented by 9293, should be placed nearer to 0. ruhrum than 
was indicated in the original description, as the stylar column is ordinarily less 
widened apically than there stated; the cells of the ovai-y vary from 4 to G. 
Glochidion sp. 
A collection with much the appearance of G. camiguinense Merr. and G. 
merfttUi C. B. Rob. is represented by 699J/, differing from the former in the 
well developed stylar column and from the latter by 4-celled ovaries and 
capsules. Its true alliance is probably the latter, but as no staminate flowers 
were found, and as the section can not be determined with certainty, it is left 
undescribed.
