232 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
I have never seen this species in flower, and Blanco notes that 
he never saw the flowers. It is very generally known by the 
Spanish name consuelda, or various corruptions or modifications 
of it such as suerda, consuerda, ete. 
Illustrative specimen from Malabon, Rizal Province, Luzon,

ANACARDIACEAE 
BUCHANANIA Sprengel 
Fagara decandra Blanco Fl. Filip. (1887) 66 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 48; 
ed. 8, 1 (1877) 89, t. 68=BUCHANANIA ARBORESCENS Blume (B. 
florida Schauer, var. arborea Eng].). 
This species is common and very widely distributed in the 
Philippines, being universally known as balinhasay. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
October, 1913 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae Nos. 321, 712). 
MANGIFERA Linnaeus 
/ MANGIFERA ALTISSIMA Blanco Fi. Filip. (1837) 181 (altisima) (sp. 
nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 129; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 230. 
This species is apparently a valid one, but was erroneously 
reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Mangifera longipes Griff., a 
species unknown from the Philippines. It is very generally 
known as pajo or pahutan. Pahutan=‘“‘pajo” (mango) and 
“antan” (wild), literally “wild mango.” It is of wide distribu- 
tion in the northern and central parts of the Archipelago at low 
and medium altitudes; a sylvan species. 
Illustrative specimen from Angat, Rizal Province, Luzon, De- 
cember, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. Se8)* 
MANGIFERA INDICA Linn.; Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 179; p68: 2 (1845) 127; 
ed. 3, 1 (1877) 229. 
Mangifera rostrata Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 129 (sp. nov.); ed. 3, 1 
(1877) 231, t. 62=MANGIFERA INDICA Linn. 
Mangifera anisodora Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 129 (sp. nov.); ed. 3, 1 
(1877) 229=MANGIFERA INDICA Linn. 
Mangifera indica Linn. was correctly interpreted by Blanco 
while M. rostrata Blanco and M. anisodora Blanco are certainly 
specifically identical with the Linnean species. Mangifera ros- — 
trata Blanco is a form with a somewhat compressed fruit, dis- 
tinctly narrowed towards the apex, and is widely known in 
Luzon as manga pico. Mangifera anisodora Blanco was de- 
scribed by Blanco without his having seen specimens and is 
manifestly a form of M. indica L. with fruits more fragrant 
than the common type. Mangifera indica L. was undoubtedly 
introduced into the Philippines by the Spaniards.
