described under this name the flower* of the one and the leaves of the other: 

 if so, it is to the present species that his name chiefly belongs. 



Zarcoa philippica was reduced hy F.-Villar to G. philippinense, but it is much 

 hetter placed here. 



Mueller's plant had no male flowers, and owing probahly to the large leaves 

 (usually about 8 inches long), he placed G. cumingii in the section Euglochidion. 

 But none of the specimens which best match his type have more than 4 anthers, 

 and the number is nearly always 3. It is curious that Boerlage, in transferring 

 Blanco's specific name to Glochidion, placed the species in the subsection Holo- 

 glochidion, corresponding to Euglochidion of Mueller. He can therefore hardly 

 have had the same species, but as he cited Kirganelia alba as the original name 

 of the species, his transfer will stand. G. leyteiise is to me the extreme variation 

 in the direction of least pubescence, and the most distinct form of the species. 

 There is a further great resemblance in habit to G. trichogynum, but the styles 

 are so very dissimilar that the species can not be united. Yet, even here, there 

 are intermediates, not, however, bridging the gap.
