January 27, 1911] Nores on MYRISTICACEAE 1059 
Represented by number 10941, Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
Mindanao, June, 1909. 
The type is based on 23546 and 3561 collected by Vidal 
on the island of Basilan. It is doubtfully distinct from G. 
paniculata (DC.) Warb. and G. zippeliana (Miq.) Warb. of New 
Guinea. Our elongated fruits would place it under the latter 
name. Not having staminate flowers I cannot be definitely 
certain as to the genus even.

Field-note for 12138*:—Medium-sized trees, in a moist 
stone gravelly soil of wooded banks along the Pauala river 
at 1500 feet; stem 1.5 foot thick, 40 feet high, terete, 
branched from the middle; branches horizontally spreading, 
the ultimate ones numerous and lax, somewhat drooping; 
wood moderately hard, reddish, more or less burly, odor- 
less, bitterish: bark 8moothish, yellowish gray; leaves coriaceous, 
descending, shining deep green above, glaucous beneath, folded 
upon the upper side and with recurved tips; infrutescence 
_ lateral along the branchlets, in small groups upon 1 to 3 
inches long sparingly branched stalks, greenish yellow, sub- 
globose or short ellipsoid; nut covered with bright red meat 
sunken into its nutmeg-like grooves. 
Represented by number 12138%, Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Sibuyan, April, 1910; also number 12068 
from the same locality. 
The type specimen is based upon Cuming 901 from the 
province of Albay, Luzon. Our specimens are in fruit only 
and there is a possible chance of them being a Knema. 
Indeed their foliage has the exact shape and glaucous gla- 
brous under side as K. gitingensis Elm., but the lateral nerves 
are fewer and whose tips are not disconnected as in that species 
under number 12200 from the same locality. Possibly these 
are good G. suluensis Warb., and my number 10941 determined 
as Warburgs Sulu plant may be true G. zippeliana Mia.) 
Warb. Number 12068 has much larger fruits than 12188", bu 
otherwise they are identical.
