ANNONACEAE OF UNCERTAIN STATUS 
Soala litoralis Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 487 (gen. et sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
304; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 199=? Annonaceae indet. 
A genus and species of very uncertain status, perhaps based 
on material from two entirely different plants. The description 
of the flower seems to conform to the Annonaceae, near Uvaria, 
but the description of the fruit is certainly not that of an an- 
nonaceous plant. Attempts to locate the species through the 
native name soal resulted in the information that the name is 
unknown even in Bauang, the locality in which Blanco observed 
the species; but Blanco states in the original description that 
it was scarcely known to the natives. Fernandez-Villar reduced 
it to Cyathocalyx zeylanicus Champ., which is man lfontlyins an 
erroneous disposition of it.

MYRISTICA Linnaeus 
Myristica luzonica Blanco FI. Filip. (1887) 664 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
462, 463; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 69, 70=MYRISTICA PHILIPPENSIS Lam. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines, growing in the primeval forest at low and medium alti- 
tudes. Its commonest Tagalog name is duguan, but this name 
is also applied to several other species of the same genus and 
to those of allied genera.

This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines, and although Blanco’s descriptions of both species are short 
and imperfect they apply here in all particulars; moreover there 
is no other species known to me from the regions from which 
Blanco received the most of his material to which his descrip- 
tions apply. In Bataan Province, Luzon, it is still known as_ 
tambalao and as hindurugu. Fernandez-Villar erroneously re-
