OCHNACEAE 263 
There seems to be but the single species represented, although 
Fernandez-Villar reduced Tetracera monocarpa Blanco to Tetra- 
cera macrophylla Wall. (T. macrocarpa Wall.), a species that 
does not extend to the Philippines. As to a name for the Philip- 
pine form, the oldest is Delima frangulifolia Presl, a species 
identical with those of Blanco enumerated above. The species 
is of very wide distribution in the Philippines and is widely 
known under its Tagalog name malacatmon. 
Illustrative specimen from Taytay, Palawan, May, 1913 (Mer- 
rill: Species Blancoanae No. 369). 
DILLENIA Linnaeus 
Dillenia indica Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 472, non Linn.=Dillenia speciosa 
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 329; ed. 8, 2 (1878) 244, t. 199, non 
Thunb.=DILLENIA PHILIPPINENSIS Rolfe. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines at low and medium altitudes, being universally known 
as catmon. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
January, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 598). 
SAURAUIA Willdenow : 
Gordonia polysperma Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 549 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
384 (polisperma) ; ed. 3, 2 (1879) 342=SAURAUIA POLYSPERMA 
(Blanco) comb. nov. (Saurauia subglabra Merr.). 
Fernandez-Villar reduced this to Homalium foetidum Benth., 
of the Flacourtiaceae, bui this species does not occur in the 
Philippines, while moreover Blanco’s description does not con- 
form at all with the characters of Homalium. Almost word 
for word the description conforms with the characters of 
Saurauia subglabra Merr., a species that is locally abundant in 
the regions from which Blanco secured most of his botanical 
material. Among the numerous species of Sawrauia now known 
from the Philippines, S. swbglabra Merr. best conforms with 
Blanco’s description, and I have no hesitation in adopting Blan- 
co’s specific name in place of subglabra Merr. It is closely allied 
to Saurauia tristyla DC.

This species was retained by Fernandez-Villar as distinct, 
but was erroneously transferred to Brackenridgea, as B. fascieu-
