REVISION OF PHILIPPINE COMBRETACEuF.. 647 



This species, altliougli remarkably uniform in vegetative an.l floral characters 

 sliows some variation in its fruits, which have from two to four wings, one of the 

 Cuming specimens showing 2- and 3-winged fruits on the same plant From an 

 examination of cotypes of both of Presl's species, before me, I am unable to 

 distinguish them, and hence have included both under the first specific name In 

 my first consideration of Pliilippine TermUiaUa = both of the species described bv 

 PresI were misinterpreted, as neither the original descriptions of the species nor 

 cotype material was then available in Manila. '/'. poli/antha was reduced to 

 T. catappa, to which it is not at all closely allied, while the specimen referred to 

 T. par VI flora does not represent that species. Later ^ T. polyantha was referred 

 by me with doubt to T. comintana, which it resembles stronglv in its inflorescence 

 and closely in its leaves, but whicli has entirely diflferent fruits.
