MELIACEAE 211 
wise Blanco’s description applies, and it does not apply to any 
other Philippine plant known tome. The species is very common 
and widely distributed at low and medium altitudes in the Phil- 
ippines, and I have before me more than 80 individual collections ; 
on these specimens are recorded 22 different native names, and 
but a single specimen bears the Tagalog name agapanga cited 
by Blanco, and none of them bears the Tagalog name salaqui 
also given by Blanco for this species.

ince, Luzon, November, 1912 (flower), March, 1913 (fruit)

LANSIUM Correa 
7LANSIUM DOMESTICUM Correa; Blanco FI. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 228; ed. 
3, 2 (1878) 62, t. 117. 
Correa’s species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It is 
extensively cultivated in some parts of the Philippines, in Luzon 
notably in Batangas and Laguna Provinces. It is certainly not 
a native of the Philippines, unless possibly truly indigenous in 
Mindanao, but has been introduced for the sake of its edible 
fruits. It is generally known in Luzon as lansone or lansones. 
The flowers are borne chiefly on the larger branches.

APHANAMIXIS Blume 
_? Trichilia tripetala Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 354 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
“248; ed. 8, 2 (1878) 97=APHANAMIXIS TRIPETALA (Blanco) comb. 
nov. (Amoora elmeri Merr.). 
This was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Amoora rohituka 
W. & A., a species not definitely known from the Philippines, 
but to which the Philippine Amoora elmeri Merv. is manifestly 
allied. Among all the known Philippine Meliaceae this is the 
only species that conforms to Blanco’s description, and the de- 
scription applies here in all respects except that the leaves are 
alternate, not opposite, although the leaflets are opposite, and 
the inflorescence bearing perfect flowers is a spike, not a raceme. 
The glandular character of the leaves, expressly mentioned by 
Blanco, is very evident on some, but not on all specimens. The 
Tagalog name salaquing pula appears in our herbarium on 
species of Aglaia, not of Amoora or Aphanamizis.

Benguet Subprovince, Luzon, November, 1916 (Merrill: Species 
Blancoanae No. 996, 3 flowers; No. 988, 2 flowers). . me
