No. 2472 JVIerrill was identified by Dr. Perkins as Canarium ovatum 

 Engler, but our specimen agrees with neither the description of the species 

 nor with Cuming's Xo. 904, on which the species was based, a specimen of 

 which is in the herbarium of this Bureau. Canarium perkinsw is not at all 

 closely related to ('. oral ii in. (littering in its racemose, elongated, not ])anicu- 

 late inflorescence, very diflferent flowers, much smaller and very differently 

 shaped leaflets, shorter petiolules, and many other characters.

With view to the possible identification of Canarium commune Blanco, 

 much material has been collected with reference to the native names cited 

 by Blanco under this species, and the physical characters of the tree as 

 described by him. Blanco's description, although imperfect, applies closely 

 to the material cited above, the native names are the same or similar to 

 those cited by him, and are almost invariably applied to this tree, which is 

 verv common in the lower hill forests of central Luzon, and which yields
