A widely distributed endemic species, previously confused by me with Garcinia 

 venulosa (Blanco) Choisy, but to which Blanco's description does not at all 

 closely apply, although the species is sometimes received under the native name 

 cited by him. The species erroneously identified by Vidal as G. maingayi Hook, 

 f., and of which he figured the staminate flowers, appears to me to be referable 

 here, the drawing seems to have been made from immature specimens, and its 

 accuracy is very doubtful. On this imperfect drawing Pierre based his Garcinia 

 bosobosoensis, which is also here reduced to G. dives. The specimens referred by 

 Vidal to Garcinia coiva Roxb., do not appear to me to be that species, and I have 

 doubtfully referred here, Garcinia coica Vidal, non Roxb., although I am not at 

 all sure that the pistillate flower figured by him as Roxburgh's species, is really 

 that of Garcinia dives. The type of Garcinia dives is Cuming 1659, which accord- 

 ing to the Kew list was collected in Panay. The fruits appear to be always 

 1-celled. Pamp., Pildis; T., Malabilucao, Tatlang anac, Bilucao ; Z., Paniguiucn.

The only Philippine specimen of this species that I have seen is one collected 

 on Mangs^i Island by the Wilkes Expedition, and now in the U. S. National 

 Herbarium. It is commonly cultivated in the Sulu Archipelago, in some parts of 

 southern Mindanao, and in southern Negros. It does not thrive as far north as 

 IManila, but the fruits are to be found in the Manila markets in season, mostly 

 imported from Singapore, rarely from Jolo. The mangosteen.

 locally known as Bunog. 



The specimens agree closely with Pierre's figures and description, and also 

 with specimens from trees cultivated in the botanical garden at Buiten/.org.

The only specimen that 1 have seen that exactly matclies Cuming's specimen 

 is Klemme 5661, which is from the same province in whicli Cuming's specimen 

 was collected, according to Cuming's list of localities at Kew. The rudimentary 

 ovary in the staminate flowers is wanting, but otherwise the specimens agree 

 j)erfectly witli tliose referred to G. venulosa below. I suspect that G. cumingiana 

 is only a form of Blanco's species, but careful field work and a full series of 

 specimens will Ix; necessary to prove this. 11., Gal<isa)i.
