& Edano, August 17, 1916, in forests at low altitudes.

much larger fruits. 
VIOLACEAE 
RINOREA Aublet 
RINOREA GLANDULOSA (Elm.) comb. nov. 
Gelonium glandulosum Elm. Leafi, Philip. Bot. 3 (1910) 917. 
Rinorea fasciculata var. minor Elm. Leafl. Philip. Bot. 8 (1915) 2877. 
The type of Geloniwm glandulosum Elm, is Elmer 12815 from Sibuyan; 
the type of Rinorea fasciculata var. minor is Elmer 12724 from Palawan. 
' Regarding the former Pax & Hoffmann? state: “certissime non ad genus 
pertinet”, and an examination of the specimen shows it to be a Rinorea, 
from which I do not believe that Rinorea fasciculata var. minor Elm. can be 
distinguished. The species is distinguished from Rinorea fasciculata 
(Turez.) Merr. by a number of characters, notably its smaller, fewer-nerved 
leaves. The same species is represented by For. Bur. — Vergara from 
Panay, with the Visayan name calumpingan. 
RINOREA FASCICULATA Pipes comb, nov. 
Pentaloba fasciculata Turez. in Bull. Soc. Nat. Mose. 27 (1854) 341. 
Alsodeia fasciculata F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 12.- 
This species is now represented by a number of collections from various 
parts of the Philippines. The type is Cuming 1074, not localized, but 
probably from Zambales Province, Luzon. 
RINOREA FORMICARIA (Elm.) comb. nov. 
Alsodeia formicaria Elm. Leafi, Philip. Bot. 5 (1913) 1850. 
The type of’ this species is Elmer 12886 from Palawan. I have already 
noted elsewhere’ that Alsodeia dubia Elm. is no violaceous plant but pertains 
to the Huphorbiaceae and is Trigonopleura dubia (Elm.) Merr. (T. philip- 
pinensis Merr.). Rinorea pulgarensis Elm. Leafl. Philip. Bot. 5 (1913) 
1849 is likewise no violaceous plant but pertains to the Ebenaceae and is 
DIOSPYROS PULGARENSIS (Elm.), Motrs, a species apparently allied 
to Diospyros fasciculiflora Merr.
