A species allied to Cedrela fehrifuga Bliime {=:Tooiia, febrifugu Roeni.), but 

 differing in it.s constantly larger fruits, wliicb are 3 to 3.5, sometimes 4 cm in 

 length. It apparently is widely distributed in the Philippines. We have here 

 adopted the specific name Calantas from the native and trade name of the species, 

 it being universally known in the Philippines by that name, the timber being 

 fragrant and of considerable commercial importance. We have no doubt but that 

 the two Philippine specimens doubtfully referred by C. DeCandoUe ^ to Cedrela 

 febrifuga, are really Toona Calanlas. Aw allied species, possibly true Toona 

 febrifuga Roein., is represented by Fur. Bur. oSSl Curran, from Zambales Prov- 

 ince, Luzon, its fruits but 2 cm in length. 



AG LA I A Lour. 



Aglaia luzoniensis (N'idal) Merrill & Rolfe comb. nov. 



Beddomca luzoniensis Vidal Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (188G) 84. 



Beddomea sitnplicifolia F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 43, non Bedd. 



Aglaia monophylla Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 33. 



In describing Aglaia monophylla, Dr. Perkins indicated that it is possibly 

 identical with Vidal's Beddomea luzoniensis, and on examining the type of the 

 latter we are able to affirm the identity of the two species, here adopting the 

 earlier specific name. The species is widely distributed in the Philippines and is 

 represented by the following specimens:
