Basilan, For. Bur. 13769 Foxworthy, De Mesa & Villamil, April 27, 

 1912 (type). 



The flowers were picked up from the ground. They had evidently been 

 borne a week or two earlier. It is locally known as kalunti and is one of 

 the very common timber trees in Basilan and southern Mindanao.

 Foxworthy, De Mesa & Villamil, Zamboanga, May 17, 1912. This was 

 known as kalunti Colorado and is possibly a distinct species. For. Bur. 

 13289 Foxworthy, De Mesa & Villamil, opposite Olutanga Island, May 

 16, 1912, is possibly a distinct species. It was collected under the name 

 of mangasinoro.
