A species common and widely distributed in Luzon, tlie oldest specific name 

 being here adopted. From the descrijjtion given by Baillon, Phelohocalymna cal- 

 leryana and Gonocaryum tarlaeense are conspecific, but J'lutea laxiflora Miers, 

 is a quite different species. Tiie species seems to be very closely allied to the 

 Malayan (louoearyutti leysmaiuiidiium Scheff.
