NEW OB NOTEWORTHY PHILIPPINE PLANTS, VII. 273 



Palawan, Malcampo, For. Bur. Il.i'/S Manalo, March, 1908, said by the col- 

 lector to be common in old clearings, and locally known as Marango. The height 

 is given as 30 m and the diameter of the trunk as 90 cm. while the timber is 

 said to be used for construction purposes. 



Azadirachta A. Juss. lias previously been a monotypic genus, consisting of 

 tlie one species A. indica A. -hiss, extending from India to Java. The species 

 above described can at once be distinguished by its entire leaflets, its panicles 

 much longer than the leaves, not Bhorter as in A. indica, and its longer (lowers.

The first representative of the genus to be found in the Philippines, for 

 Trichilia rimosa Blanco, although reduced to Heynea trijuga Roxb., by C. De- 

 Candole, is. I feel certain, not a Heynea. The type of Scutinanthe engleri Elm., 



is a specimen with very young fruits, mature fruits or flowers not present, and 

 is manifestly referable to Heynea and not a Burseraceous plant, where it was 

 placed by Mr. Elmer. The Philippine specimens agree closely with those of 

 H. sumatrana Miq., taken from cultivated trees in the Buitenzorg Botanical 

 Garden, and there seems to be little doubt as to their specific identity. Miquel's 

 species has, however, been reduced by King to Heynea trijuga var. mull ijuga 

 C. DC, but a specimen of Wallich 1259 from Penang, the type number of this 

 variety, is in our herbarium and does not agree with our material of H. sumatrana. 

 nor with Miquel's description, and it seems that while Heynea sumatrana Miq., 

 is not the same as H. trijuga var. mull ijuga, still it may not be specifically distinct 

 from H. trijuga Roxb.
