A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYRTACEiE. 403 



3. E. bauangica ed. 1 416; ed. 2 290. 



The description is entirely inadequate, but the chances are that E. malaccensis 

 Linn, is intended. 



4. E. Montana ed. 1 416; ed. 2 291. 



Naves interpreted this to be the species here named E. calubcob. Villar con- 

 sidered him to be wrong, and reduced it to E. macrocarpa Roxb., a species not 

 known to occur in the Islands. This was apparently done by reason of the 

 description of the fruit, but apart from the local names cited by Blanco there is 

 little reason to think that Naves was wrong. 



5. E. glandclosa ed. 1 417; ed. 2 291. 



The only Philippine species at all answering the description is Rhodomyrtus 

 tvmentosa, but the known distribution of the latter makes the identification 

 unlikely. 



6. E. jambos ed. 1 416; ed. 2 290 (yambos) . 



This has previously been reduced to E. malaccensis, to which there is little 

 intrinsic objection. The probabilities are much greater that E. javanica wa9 

 intended: it seems to be the only species near Manila known as Macupa, though 

 farther south that name belongs to E. malaccensis. 



7. PSIDICM AROMATIC CM ed. 1 417. 



/'. pyriferum ed. 2 292. 



This is certainly P. guajava Linn., of which both the varieties into which 

 Linnaeus specifically divided it are very common in the Philippines. 



8. C'alypthrantiies jambolana ed. 1 418. 

 Syzygium jambulanum ed. 2 293. 

 Undoubtedly E. jambolana Lam. 



9. Calypthranthes makai. ed. 1 419. 

 C. zuzygium? ed. 2 293. 



Villar reduced this to E. operculata Roxb., to which the species here described 

 as E. clattsa is at least very closely allied. There is but one objection to connect- 

 ing Blanco's species with the latter; both in the Indian and Philippine plants, 

 the inflorescence is on the older branches, mostly below the leaves; Blanco says 

 "Flores terminates. " No other species agrees nearly as well with his other state- 

 ments, the distinctive character being the deciduous calyx-apex. Both of Blanco's 

 specific names had been previously used in Calyptranthcs, and were evidently 

 intended as mere identifications. 



10. Calypthanthes ramiflora ed. 1 420. 

 Syzygium latifolium ed. 2 294. 



This is most probably Eugenia similis Merr. 



11. Myrtus tripinnata ed. 1 421. 

 Myrtus sjtibrubens ed. 2 294. 



There are many reasons for supposing this to be E. luzonensis Merr., but the 

 description agrees slightly more perfectly with a nearly allied species, to which 

 Blanco's specific name has here been attached. 



12. Myrtus communis Blanco ed. 1 422; ed. 2 295. 

 There is no doubt that this is Decaspernum blancoi. 



13. Pi.inia pamculata ed. 1 423; ed. 2 290. 



Reduced by Villar to Kayca racemosa, correctly as to genus, the species now 

 being known as Kayea paniculata (Blanco) Merr. It is thus excluded from the 

 family.
