234 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
DRACONTOMELUM Blume 
Paliurus dao Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 174 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 122; ed. 
8, 1 (1877) 219=DRACONTOMELUM DAO (Blanco) Merr. & Rolfe 
in Philip. Journ. Sci. 3 (1908) Bot. 108. 
This species is common and of very wide distribution in the 
Philippines and is universally known as dao in most parts of 
the Archipelago. It is closely allied to the Malayan Dracon- 
tomelum mangiferum Blume. 
Illustrative specimen from Butuan Subprovince, Mindanao, 
August, 1913 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 316). 
Paliurus edulis Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 173 (sp. nov.) =Paliurus lamiyo 
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 122 (nom. nov.) ed. 3, 1 (1877) 218 p.p.= 
DRACONTOMELUM LAMIYO (Blanco) comb. nov. (D. cumingianum 
Baill.). 
The species Blanco described is a mixture, although there is 
little doubt as to what he intended. His description of the 
flowers is that of a species of Canariwm, and undoubtedly also — 
the leaves belong with the Canarium for the description ‘‘hojas 
* %* * JjJampinas. Peciolo * * * con dos puas largas, 
colocadas arriba, y lejos de la base” applies to Canarium, cer- 
tainly not to Dracontomelum cumingianum Baill. Blanco’s 
description of the fruit is good for that of Baillon’s species; 
and the name lamiyo is the almost universal Tagalog one for 
this species and is applied to no other so far as I know. The 
specific name edulis is invalidated in Dracontomelum by D. edule 
Merr. It is widely distributed in forests of the Philippines 
at low altitudes. 
Illustrative specimen from Samar, April, 1915 (Merrill: 
Species Blancoanae No. 19). 
KOORDERSIODENDRON Engler 
Helicteres pinnata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 884 (sp. nov.) =Cyrtocarpa 
quinquestyla Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 269 (quinquestila) (nom. 
nov.); ed. 3, 2 (1878) 135=KOORDERSIODENDRON PINNATUM > 
(Blanco) Merr. in Forest. Bureau (Philip.) Bull. 1 (1903) 33 (Ke a 
celebicum Eng).). 
This sylvan species is widely distributed in the Philippines 
at low and medium altitudes and is universally and exclusively 
known in the Tagalog provinces as amoguis, this being also the 
commercial name of its timber. It was erroneously reduced by 
Fernandez-Villar to Odina speciosa Blume, a genus and species 
unknown from the Philippines. For a detailed figure of the 
species see Boerlage in Icon. Bogor. 1 (1901) 55, t. 94-96 (as K. 
celebicum Engl.).
