KEVISION OF PHILIPPINE CO.AIBRETACl-LF.. 



Native names Talisay or Dalisay in most Philippine dialects; Sp -Fil !/,„,„- 

 dms, corresponding to tlie "Indian almond" of English speaking people in the 

 east. 



Tcrwinalia polyantha Presl, which was previously reduced l)y me to this 

 species from the abridged description given by Miquel, is in no way allied to 

 T. catappa. The specimen reported as T. catappa from Alangsi Island, bv A Gray 

 in tlie -Botany of the Wilkes U. S. Exploring Expedition", is T. Uttoralis Seem" 

 and was doubtless wrongly localized on the label, as the species is a Polynesian one' 

 The sterile specimen reported also by Gray "from a small island in the Sooloo 

 Sea'^ as T. glabrata Forst.?. may have been T. catappa, but I have seen no 

 specimen.

This species should prove to be a very distinct one, characterized especially 

 by its very large fruits, which are about 10 cm long. It has not as yet been 

 collected a second time.

A widely distributed endemic species, yielding the timber commerciallv known 

 as Calumpit. With the abundant material cited above, I am no longer able to 

 distinguish Terminalia mollis (Presl) Rolfe from T. edulis Blanco. Young speci- 

 mens of Blanco's species have exactly the same type of pubescence as has Presl's.
