290 _ SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Eugenia malaccensis Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 415; ed. 2 (1845) 290; ed. 
3, 2 (1878) 173, t. 170, non Linn. =EUGENIA JAMBOS Linn. (Jam- 
bosa vulgaris DC.). 
There is no doubt as to the correctness of this reduction. 
This species is fairly common in cultivation, is widely dis- 
tributed in and about towns in the settled areas of the Phil- 
ippines at low and medium altitudes, and is very generally known 
as tampot. It is certainly an introduced plant in the Archi- 
pelago, but equally certainly of prehistoric introduction.

Eugenia bauanguica Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 416 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
292; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 174 (bauangica) =EUGENIA MALACCENSIS 
line 
Blanco’s description is entirely inadequate, yet I consider that 
there is little or no doubt as to the correctness of the present 
reduction of his species. Fernandez-Villar reduced it to Eugenia 
laeta Ham., which was certainly an error, as Hamilton’s species 
does not extend to the Philippines. Hugenia malaccensis Linn. 
is certainly not a native of the Philippines, but was probably of 
prehistoric introduction into the Archipelago. It occurs as a 
scattered tree in cultivation only.

Myrtus manananquil Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 421 (sp. nov.) =EUGENIA 
MANANQUIL Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 290; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 174. 
Eugenia lobas Blanco Fl. Filip. (1887) 857 (sp. nov.) Eugenia caulifiora 
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 291 (canliflora) ; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 177, non 
DC. nec. Mig. =? EUGENIA MANANQUIL Blanco. 
Eugenia mananquil Blanco is a very characteristic valid spe- 
cies of wide distribution in the forested areas of the Philippines 
at low and medium altitudes. Fernandez-Villar reduced Eu- : 
genia mananquil Blanco to Eugenia javanica Lam., manifestly 
an erroneous reduction, and considered Eugenia cauliflora Blanco 
(E. lobas Blanco) as a distinct species but doubtfully identical 
with Jambosa cauliflora DC. The correctness of the present : 
interpretation of Eugenia mananquil is certain, but the identity 
of Eugenia lobas is not so sure. It is the form interpreted 
and described by me as Eugenia lobas in Govt. Lab. Publ. 
(Philip.) 35 (1906) 48; see C. B. Robinson in Philip. Journ.
