The Benguet specimens are from altitudes of 1,500 m or above, while those 

 from Zambales are from 700 to 800 m. The Mindoro specimens were collected 

 at an altitude of about 200 m, and differ in having smaller, thinner and less 

 prominently veined leaves than the type, in vegetative characters being very 

 similar to Vacchiiiim cuudatinu Warb., but they have the lanate filaments of 

 y. henguetensr. A tree 7 to 12 m high.

The only specimens of this species that I have seen are those collected by 

 Cuming, one of which is in our herbarium. It is verj^ closely allied to Vaccinium 

 hcuguciense Vidal, apparently differing chiefly in its persistent bracts and slightly 

 more prominent calyx-teeth.

The type of this species, Vidal 1535, was from the District of Lepanto. Luzon, 

 and it seems to be closely matched by the specimens cited above. The species 

 can be readily recognized by the peculiar capitate-glandular hairs of the inflores- 

 cence, this character being found in only one other known Philippine species, the 

 very different V. tenuipcs above described.

A small tree, 6 to 10 m high, growing on exposed ridges at altitudes of from 

 1,050 to 2,000 m, recognizable by its nearly sessile leaves. I have seen the type 

 of the species in the Berlin Herbarium, and the above specimens agree closely 

 with it.

A species manifestly allied to Vaccinium jagori Warb., but distinguished by 

 its pubescent inflorescence and fruits, and distinctly petioled leaves.
