268 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Garcinia cumingiana Pierre and G. calleryi Pierre are specifically 
distinct from G. venulosa Choisy. 
Illustrative specimen from Angat, Bulacan Province, Luzon, 
September, 1913 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 569). 
- Stalagmitis ? cambogioides Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 301; ed. 3, 2 
(1878) 195, non Murr.=? GARCINIA DULCIS (Roxb.) Kurz. 
I have found no mention of this species in the Novissima 
Appendix, but it is almost certainly Garcinia, although perhaps 
not Garcinia dulcis Kurz. The description is not good and 
does not apply at all well.to Kurz’s species; at the present time, 
however, I can suggest no other possible reduction of the species. 
Garcinia duleis is widely distributed in the Philippines, extend- 
ing from northern Luzon to Palawan and Mindanao. 
Illustrative specimen from Bosoboso, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
March, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 881). 
Cambogia crassifolia Blanco Fl. Filip. (1845) 304 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 8, 2 (1878) 
198=? GARCINIA sp. 
Fernandez-Villar referred this to Garcinia cowa Roxb., a spe- 
cies that does not extend to the Philippines. Blanco described 
only the leaves, and these very briefly, stating further that 
it was a tree originating in Cebu, there known as sadugan, and 
yielding a substance similar to gambir having an agreeable 
odor; he apparently saw neither flowers nor fruits. An attempt 
to locate the species through the native name sadugan in Cebu 
brought in specimens of Horsfieldia ardisiifolia Warb., which 
does not at all conform to the leaf characters indicated by Blanco 
for his Cambogia crassifolia. There is no special reason for 
considering that it even belongs in the Guttiferae.

CARPUS GRANDIFLORUS Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 314 (nom. 
nov.) ; ed, 3, 2 (1878) 218, t. 263. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Phil- 
ippines, occurring in the primeval forest at low and medium 
altitudes. It is almost universally known as apitong, a name 
rarely applied to any other species, and apitong is the commercial 
name of the timber produced by this tree.
