PHILIPPINE PYGEUWI 



by 



A. D. E. Elmer 



Pygeum coccineum Elm. n. comb. Parinarium coccineum 

 Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. II; 578, 1909. 



So far only known from ray original collection made 

 in southern Negros. 



Pygeum dementis Merr. 



A large fruited and relatively large leaved species from 

 the lake Lanao region of central Mindanao, 



Pygeum g:landuIosum Merr. 



Rather common, but especially so in the north middle 

 portion of our archipelago. 



Pygfeum meg^aphyllum Merr. ms. 



Collected only once at San Antonio, province of Lagu* 

 na, Luzon. Foliage very similar to P. latiphyllum Elm. 



Pygeum preslii Merr. 



Based upon Cuming 1815 with rather broad leaves. A 

 specimen from northern Mindanao, Bureau of Science num- 

 ber 15724 is a very close match. 



Pygeum reticulatum Merr. 



Herbarium name only, based upon three specimens col- 

 lected by S. Garcia at Baler, province of Principe, Luzon. 

 Apparently very similar to P. glanduloea Merr.
