262 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Sterculia cordifolia Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 764 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
525; ed. 8, 3 (1879) 163, non Cav.=STERCULIA PHILIPPINENSIS 
Merr. ; 
Sterculia philippinensis Merr. is merely a new name for Ster- 
culia cordifolia Blanco, non Cay. Blanco’s species was errone- 
ously reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Sterculia wrens Roxb., one 
that does not extend to the Philippines. Sterculia philippinensis 
Merr. is a sufficiently characteristic species of wide distribution 
in the northern and central Philippines. 
PTEROCYMBIUM R. Brown 
Heritiera tinctoria Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 653 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
456; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 59=PTEROCYMBIUM TINCTORIUM (Blanco) 
Merr. in Goyt. Lab. Publ. (Philip.) 27 (1905) 24, 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines at low altitudes and is very generally known to the Taga- 
logs as taloto or teluto. Blanco’s species was reduced by 
Fernandez-Villar to the very closely allied Pterocymbium java- 
nicum R. Br., but even if the Philippine form is specifically 
identical with the Javan one, Blanco’s specific name is the older.

HERITIERA Dryander 
Helicteres apetala Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 383, non Jacq.=Sterculia 
cymbiformis Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 526 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 
167, t. 3,1 =HERITIERA LITTORALIS Dry. 
The species that Blanco first erroneously referred to Jacquin’s 
Helicteres apetala he later described as a new species, Sterculia. 
cymbiformis. The species is common and is found along the 
seashore throughout the Philippines. It is widely known as 
dungon late or merely as dungon, although the latter name prop- 
erly belongs to Tarrietia sylvatica Merr.
