Craib has already noted, F1. Siam. Enum. L: 252. 1926, that if D. pro- 
cerum Hiern is really the same as Guarea Gobara Ham. the specific name 
should be changed. After an examination of Hamilton’s description and his 
figure of the fruit, I see no reason to consider that he had other than the 
species long known as Dysoxylum procerum Hiern. Although C. de 
Candolle gives the range of the species to Java (var. integrum), I am 
convinced, after examining an actual specimen of Dysoxylum excelsum 
Blume, named by Blume, that Pitard erred in citing de Candolle’s variety 
as a synonym of D. procerum Hiern. Craib notes that D. furbinatum King 
of the Malay Peninsula is a very closely allied species.
