14. ERYTHROPHLOEUM Afzel. 



1. Erythrophloeum densiflorum (Elm.) Merr. in Philip. Journ Sci 4 (1909) 

 Bot. 267. ■ 



Cynometra denmflora Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 1 (1907) 222. 



Luzon, Province of Cagayan, For. Bur. 17198 Curran: Province of Tayabas, 

 Elmer 901 J, (type number), For. Bur. 10154, 10215, 10212 Curran, For Bur 

 11513 Whitford, For. Bur. 12501 RosenUunth. IMindaxao, District of Zamboanga, 

 For. Bur. 9163 Whitford & Hutchinson (probably, specimen sterile). 



Native names: Camatog, calamantao, tacloban (Tayabas); salsal (Cagayan). 



Endemic. Widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes. 



The generic distribution is peculiar, about five species being found in tropical 

 Africa and Madagascar, one in Australia, one in the Philippines, and one in 

 southern China. 



Since the above transfer to Erythrophloeum was published, I have received 

 ft note from the Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, verifying its correctness. 



15. CYNOMETRA Linn. 



Flowers on the stem and thick branches in racemes with a produced axis- 



pedicels glabrous; leaflets 1-jugate 1. c. cauliflora 



Flowers in the leaf-axils on the branchlets, in racemes or corymbs without a 

 produced axis; pedicels puberulous. 

 leaves pinnate, the leaflets 1-2- jugate.

 per.

apex; pods not or but slightly rugose 2. C. hmequifolia 



leaflets usually acuminate, sometimes rounded, but scarcely retuse at the 



apex; pods rugose 3. c.bijuga 



l^eaflets 1-jugate.

 Luzon, Manila, Tidal 1218, Loher 2205, in Herb. Kew., from a specimen 

 cultivated in the old Botanical Garden. 



This species has properly no place in the Philippine flora, except as a 

 cultivated plant, or one that was cultivated, as the tree from which Vidal 

 and Loher collected their material is no longer in existence. Leber's specimen 

 is labeled as having been collected in the Botanical Garden, but Vidal's specimen 

 bears only the label "Luzon;" in his "Revision," however, he adds Manila, and 

 tracing the matter back further, we find that his drawing in the "Sinopsis Atlas," 

 was from this Botanical Garden specimen. F.-Villar's reference is undoubtedly to 

 this same tree.
