of Surigao. 
Eurycoma longifolia Jack has been accredited to Luzon on the 
basis of a specimen, so labeled, collected by Lobb; it is absolutely 
certain that Lobb’s specimen came from Malay Peninsula or from 
Borneo where Jack’s species is common, and not from Luzon. 
The present species then is the first definite record for this small 
genus for the Philippines. In general appearance Hurycoma 
eglandulosa closely resembles FE. longifolia, but the indumentum 
on the inflorescences consists solely of very short, castaneous, 
simple hairs, and is never glandular as in Jack’s species.
