altitudes. Blanco, who proposed Malaisia as a new genus, 
derived his generic name from the Tagalog malaisis, one of the 
local names of the species. K. Schumann has indicated the 
Philippine form as the var. rolfei, but Blanco’s name is the 
earliest available one if the variety is to be maintained.

STREBLUS Loureiro 
Calius lactescens Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 698 (gen. et sp. nov.); ed. 2 
(1845) 485; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 108, t. 171=STREBLUS ASPER Lour. 
This species is very common and widely distributed in the 
Philippines at low and medium altitudes. Blanco’s description 
is the whole basis of Streblus lactescens Blume, which accordingly 
is an exact synonym of Streblus asper Lour. The generic name 
Calius is derived from the common Tagalog name of the plant, 
calios. 
Illustrative specimen from Maragondong, Cavite Province, 
Luzon, October, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 151). 
CUDRANIA Trécul 
Morus tinctoria Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 704, non Linn.=Broussonetia 
tinctoria Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 488; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 108, t. 418, 
non Spreng.=CUDRANIA JAVENSIS Tréc. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines in thickets, second-growth forests, etc., extending from 
sea level to an altitude of about 1,400 meters. Blanco’s species 
was reduced by F.-Villar to Cudrania obovata Tréc., which, at 
least so far as the Philippine form so named is concerned, does 
not appear specifically to differ from Cudrania javensis Tréc. 
Illustrative specimen from Benguet Subprovince, Luzon, May, 
1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 146). 
ARTOCARPUS Forster 
Artocarpus rima Blanco FI. Filip. (1887) 671 (Arcthocarpus) (sp. nov.) ; 
ed. 2 (1845) 467 (Arctocarpus); ed. 3, 3 (1879) 77 t. 267=ARTO- 
_CARPUS COMMUNIS Forst. . 
This seedless breadfruit is not common in the Philippines and 
is apparently not highly prized by the natives; it is found only 
in cultivation. The fruit is rather small and is apparently in- 
ferior to that of some of the Polynesian forms. Its Tagalog 
name is rima or rimas. |
