MELIACEAE 209 
Blanco’s species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Turraea 
pumila Benn., but Bennett’s species is apparently distinct; at 
any rate Blanco’ s specific name is the older. It is rare and of 
very local occurrence in central Luzon. 
Illustrative specimen from Batangas Province, Luzon, August, 
1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 509).

Melia azedarach Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 345 (acedarach), non Linn.= 
Melia composita Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 241; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 84, 
t. 420, non Willd.=MELIA CANDOLLEI Juss. 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines. It was 
erroneously reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Melia dubia Cav. 
Illustrative specimen from Angat, Bulacan Province, Luzon,

SANDORICUM Cavanilles 
Sandoricum ternatum Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 346 (sp. nov.) =Sandoricum 
indicum Cav.; Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 242; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 85, 
t. 127=SANDORICUM KOETJAPE (Burm. f.) Merr. 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines at low 
altitudes in cultivation, also spontaneous in some forested regions 
in second-growth forests. It is probably not a native of the 
Philippines, but was purposely introduced from Malaya for the 
sake of its edible fruit. Its common name in the Philippines 
is santol. 
Illustrative specimen from Umingan, Pangasinan Province, 
Luzon, May, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 7). 
DYSOXYLUM Blume

Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 248; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 88, t. 730, non Linn.= 
DYSOXYLUM DECANDRUM (Blanco) Merr. (Dysoxylum blancoi 
Vid., D. salutare F.-Vill., and apparently D. amooroides Mia.). 
This characteristic species is widely distributed in the Phil- 
ippines at low altitudes. 
Tilustrative specimen from Manila, Luzon, May, 1914 (M errul: 
Species Blancoanae No. 218). 
Os Turraea octandra Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 349 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 244;

[D. schizochitode (Turez.) C. DC.]. 
Blanco’s species was correctly reduced by Fernandez-Villar to 
Dysoxylum schizochitode (Turez.) C. DC., but the specific name 
octandra is the older and is here adopted. Blanco’s description
