PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 321 



ALANGIUM SALVI I FOLIUM (L. f.) Wangerin, subsp. HEXAPETALUM 

 (Lam.) Wangerin in EngL Pflanzenreich 41" (1910) 9. 



Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley, Mrs. Cleynens 594., and several 

 sheets without number. 



The above specimens seem to agree fairly well with Wangerin's concep- 

 tion of this species, as expressed in his description. The flowers have 6 

 petals, which vary from 2.5 to 3.3 cm in length, hence averaging considerably 

 longer than indicated for Alangium salviifolium. The stamens are usually 

 about 22, and as long as the petals, glabrous below, then villous on the 

 inside for from 5 to 7 mm, and glabrous above. 



A specimen from Balabac Island, Bur. Sci. 400 Mangubat, may represent 

 still another form. In vegetative characters it is very similar to A. salvii- 

 folium var. hexapetalum, the petals are 6 in number^ about 2.2 cm long, 

 while the stamens vary from 15 to 17, the filaments near the base supplied 

 wath a prominent, internal, densely villous appendage.

Species V. jagori Warb. afRnis et similimis, differt foliis 

 obtusis vel rotundatis, vix acuminatis vel apiculatis, calycis lobis

A species very similar to and apparently closely allied to 

 Vaccinium jagori Warb. A small glabrous tree, the branches 

 terete, olivaceous or brownish, smooth. Leaves thickly coria- 

 ceous, subsessile, oblong-obovate to narrowly oblong-obovate, 3.5 

 to 8 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, somewhat brownish when dry, 

 shining, the lower surface a little paler than the upper one, 

 somewhat glandular, the apex rounded or obtuse, base narrowed 

 to the very short petiole, subacute or abruptly obtuse, margins 

 slightly recurved; midrib prominent, the lateral nerves sharply 

 ascending, slender, obscure, 2 or 3 basal pairs and one or two 

 additional pairs leaving the midrib below the middle; petioles 

 stout, very short or none. Flowers unknown. Racemes axillary, 

 solitary, 5 to 6 cm long, glabrous. Nearly mature fruits sub-
