In the Philippines, this plant is most commonly known as ¢uaduc- 
tinducan or saguin-saguin because of the close resemblance in shape 
of the fruit to some kinds of plantains. The two species are very 
much alike in appearance and bear the same common names. 
Aegiceras floridum Roem. et Schulte. 
This species is of much rarer occurrence than the preceding. 
It is known only from some islands of the Pacific, the Philip- 
pines, Sumbawa, Gebeh, Amboina, New-Guinea, Key-Island and 
Island Jobei. These are usually low shrubs, although they may 
grow to a height of 25 ft. and to a diameter of 2 dm. or 
more. They are found sometimes on the outer edge of the 
swamp, sometimes as undergrowth and sometimes bordering 
tidal streams at some distance inland. They usually form dense 
thickets. The sapwood is white and the heartwood dark brown, 
oily and very hard. Used for firewood and for the construc- 
tion of native huts.
