PITHECOLOBIUM Martius 
Mimosa unguis-cati Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 731, non Linn.=Inga lanceo- 
lata Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 370 (sp. nov.); ed. 3, 2 (1879) 322, 
t. 237, non HBK.=PITHECOLOBIUM DULCE (Roxb.) Benth. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines and in many localities is thoroughly naturalized, occurring 
in great abundance along gravel bars in the beds of streams in 
parts of northern Luzon. The common native names in the 
Philippines, camanchile, camonsil, etc., are corruptions of its 
ancient Mexican name quamochitl. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
January, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 258). 
Mimosa scutifera Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 735 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
507; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 138, t. 488=PITHECOLOBIUM SCUTIFERUM 
(Blanco) Benth. 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines at low 
and medium altitudes and is entirely distinct from the Malayan 
Pithecolobium lobatum Benth. to which it has been reduced. Its 
common Tagalog name is anagap, as cited by Blanco. 
Illustrative specimen from Camarines Province, Luzon, Decem- 
ber, 1913 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 328). 
Mimosa scutifera [var. casai] Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 736; ed. 2 (1845) 
508; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 138, t. 447=PITHECOLOBIUM SUBACUTUM 
Benth. 
This form is described by Blanco without definitely assigning 
to it any specific or varietal name. It is of wide distribution 
in the Philippines. It should be compared critically with Pithe- 
colobium montanum Benth. | 
Illustrative specimen from Benguet Subprovince, Luzon, May, 
1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 461). 
ALBIZZIA Durazzini 
Mimosa acle Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 788 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 509; ed. 
3, 3 (1879) 140=ALBIZZIA ACLE (Blanco) Merr. in Philip. Journ. 
Sci. 5 (1910) Bot. 25 (Pithecolobium acle Vid.). 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines, is universally and exclusively known to the Tagalogs as 
acle, and is the source of the timber known commercially in the 
Philippines under this name. It was erroneously reduced by 
Fernandez-Villar to Xylia dolabriformis Benth., with which it
