BACCAUREA PHILIPPINENSIS (Merr.) comb. nov. 
Everettiodendron philippinense Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) 
Bot. 279; Elm. Leafl. Philip. Bot. 3 (1910) 916. 
This form was described as the basis of a new genus, Everettiodendron, 
with the statement that the affinities of the proposed new genus were not 
then clear to me. A recent study of more abundant material has convinced 
me that Everettiodendron is congeneric with Baccaurea, and accordingly 
the former genus is here reduced to Baccaurea, and its one species trans- 
ferred to Loureiro’s genus. In addition to the specimens cited in the 
original description, I have examined the following collections: LuzON, Prov- 
ince of Pangasinan, For. Bur. 13493 Medina, For. Bur. 14872, 14888 Villamil, 
For. Bur. 218138 Maneja: Province of Cagayan, Bur. Sci. 13821 Ramos:

Sci. 20416 Ramos: Province of Tayabas, Bur. Sci. 19516 Ramos. LEYTE, 
Wenzel 594, Bur. Sci. 15214, 15880 Ramos. 
Native names cited on the specimens are panglumbuyen, loslospit, ebeo, 
malacacao (Pangasinan), maraculilem (Cagayan), and baloboy (Zambales).

teralibus adscendentibus (ca. 45°), glandulis oblongo-obovoideis, 
antheris haud mucronatis. 
A tree 6 to 8 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence and the 
very young puberulent branchlets and leaves. Branches terete, 
brownish, smooth, glabrous. Leaves oblong, thickly chartaceous 
or subcoriaceous, brown or brownish-olivaceous when dry, shin- 
ing, the lower surface paler than the upper, 12 to 16 cm long, 4 to 
6.5 cm wide, base acute, apex rather prominently acuminate, the 
acumen blunt; lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the midrib, as- 
cending at an angle of 45° or less, prominent, slightly curved, 
anastomosing, the primary reticulations lax; petioles 7 to 10 mm 
long. Flowers in axillary fascicles, the pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. 
Sepals oblong, obtuse, densely puberulent with pale brownish 
hairs, about 5 mm long. Petals narrowly oblong, obtuse, about 
5 mm long and 2 mm wide, villous on both surfaces. Disk-glands 
5, sessile, oblong-obovoid, 1.5 mm long, obtuse, glabrous. Fila- 
ments united into a column 4 to 5 mm in length, villous, bearing 
near the apex 8 sessile, oblong, obtuse, 1 mm long anthers in two 
or three series. Rudimentary ovary reduced to 2 or 3, lanceolate, 
1 mm long styles or stylelike bodies, glabrous. Female flowers
