The species is not represented in our Philippine collections, 
and the type may not have come from the Archipelago. It is 
indicated on the original label as “Philippines herb. D. Commer- 
son sans nom,” and on a second label “Philippines. Plantes ré- 
coltées par Sonnerat et données a Commerson.” Sonnerat on 
his voyage to India and China? stopped at Malacca, a locality 
within the known range of Elaeodendron viburnifolium, and he 
may have collected the specimen there. Or again he may well 
have collected it in the Philippines at Jolo (Yolo)* on his first 
voyage, where he stopped for a short time after leaving Zam- 
boanga (Sambouangue). The Sulu Archipelago, including Jolo, 
has been very slightly explored from a botanical standpoint, and 
a species growing in or near the mangrove swamps on the east 
coast of Borneo is certainly to be expected in similar habitats 
in Sulu Archipelago. Whether or not the type was really from 
the Philippines, Aegiphila viburnifolia Juss. is clearly identical 
with Elaeodendron subrotundum King, and Jussieu’s specific 
name should be adopted for the species. 
For the common Philippine form to which I erroneously ap- 
plied the binomial Euonymus viburnifolius* another name is 
necessary, and I can now see no reason why Euonymus cochin- 
chinensis Pierre should not be adopted, as I can detect no con- 
stant differential differences between it and E. philippinensts 
Merr. & Rolfe. The synonymy will then be as follows: ;
