266 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Blume, as Gagnepain has considered it, for C. arborescens does 
not extend to the Philippines. Blanco’s description is unsatis- 
factory and applies in part to both C. blancoi, as here interpreted, 
and to C. floribundum F.-Vill.; as to leaf form the former, as 
to leaf base both the former, as I interpret it, and to the latter. 
The original description of the leaves is “escotadas en la base, 
ovales.” Cratoxylon blancoi Bl. as I interpret it always has 
oval leaves, but they are often cordate at the base, not always 
tapering, while C. floribundum F.-Vill. never has oval leaves. 
The same native names are applied to both forms. 
Illustrative specimens from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
June, March, 1915, there known as guyong-guyong (Merrill: 
Species Blancoanae Nos. 851, 929, 972). 
CALOPHYLLUM Linnaeus 
_ 7 Tovomita pentapetala Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 432 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
. 301; ed. 38, 2 (1878) 194=CALOPHYLLUM PENTAPETALUM 
(Blanco) comb. nov. | 
This is exactly Calophyllum amplexicaule Choisy ex Planch. 
& Triana in Ann. Sci. Nat. IV 15 (1861) 281, which was described 
from a Philippine specimen, Cuming 1212, from Ilocos Norte | 
Province, Luzon. Fernandez-Villar, on account of Blanco’s erro- 
neous description of the flowers as having five petals, placed it 
in Ochrocarpus as Ochrocarpus blancoi F.-Vill. Noviss. App. 
(1880) 17, which thus becomes a synonym of Calophyllum pen- 
tapetalum. The species is decidedly characteristic among our 
numerous species of Calophyllum and is widely distributed in 
the Ilocano provinces at low altitudes, extending southward to 
Pangasinan and Zambales Provinces. Numerous specimens bear 
the same native names as those cited by Blanco or cognate forms 
of them. e 
Illustrative specimens from San Fernando, Union Province, __ 
Luzon, comm. R. Lete, Feb. 22, 1916, there known as pamit- 
tanguen (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 969) ; Lepanto Sub- — 
—_ 
province, comm. P. de la Peta (Merrill: Species Blancoanae — 
No. 184). : 
CALOPHYLLUM INOPHYLLUM Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1887) 612 (éno- 
phillum) ; ed. 2 (1845) 428; ed. 8, 2 (1879) 415, t. 256. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. 
This tree is found along the seashore throughout the Philip- — 
pines, being very generally known by its Spanish name palo 
maria, also as dancalan, bitaog, and other local names. It yields 
a valuable timber. :
