3. MYRISTICA Linn. 



1. M. philippinensis Lam.; Warb. 1. c. 286.

 (361 Whitford) June; (52 Barnes) October. In forests 100 to 200 m. Endemic. 



Warburg, to whom specimens were sent, identified Nos. 628 and 761 Borden, 

 and 52 Barnes as Myristica guatteriifolia A. DC, but all the specimens cited 

 above agree more closely with Nos. 829 and 1481 Cuming (M. philippinensis), 

 than with 1582 Cuming, cotype of M. Guatteriifolia A. DC. Specimens of 

 Cuming's plants exist in our herbarium. T., Diiguan, Tambalao.
