MerriUii is of a woody consistency, while that of Lansiiim dome- 

 sticiDH is leathery. The fine pubescence of Reinivardtiodendroii occurs 

 also in lAinsium do))iesticuni. The fruit of the other species of 

 Lansium seems to be unknown, so that perhaps the woody pericarp 

 of R. MerrilUi is a distinguishing character.

 which K00RDER.S has described from Celebes (curiously all ending 

 in dendron) Wallaceodendroii , Koordersiodendron and Rcimvardtio- 

 dendron, occur in the Philippines. This furnishes still another evi- 

 dence of the relation existing between the flora of the Philippines 

 and that of Celebes,
