About 45 species known, with probably 5 species in the Philippines. 
Quite probably, some of the very variable material which is lumped 
under V. mangacliapoi may be referable to other species when more 
complete specimens are secured.

This species is very incompletely understood ; but, I have followed the 
interpretation accepted by Brandis. 
A moderate-sized tree of the hill forests. Not gregarious. Bark lign - 
grayish and rather smooth. Wood hard and heavy, brownish, fine-graine ; 
resembling yacal but finer- and straighter-grained. Glabrous, excepting 
inflorescence and young shoots, which are clothed with stellate tomen ura. 
Stipules small, caducous. Leaves pale on both sides, coriaceous, lanceo- 
late; blade 7.5 to 12.5 cm long; petiole 1 cm long. Secondary ner\eb 
7 to 9 pairs; tertiary- reticulate. Flowers 1 cm long, on pedicels near^) 
as long as the calyx, in racemes which are not unilateral, these ^^'^^^°^^ 
in terminal and axillary racemose panicles. Pscndoterminal tiowe^ 
frequent between the main axis and a branch of panicle. Calyx-seg
