In contrast to its botanical difficulties, there is probably no other Philippine 

 species so definitely recognized throughout Luzon, except "duhat" {E. jambolana) , 

 the names being mostly mere variants of that here adopted for the specific name, 

 appearing on different sheets as Calubcob, calobcob, calubcub, cupcup, calugcog, 

 carobcob, cayogpug, calopcop, the last from Mindoro: from Pinamalayan and 

 Nueva Ecija comes the almost inevitable malaruhat, and on two sheets, one of 

 them with a query, it is called tampoi, which belongs more properly to E. jambos. 

 The Mangyans of southwestern Mindoro know it as tuoy, and iti Abra it is 

 baracbac.
