STERCULIA RAMOSII Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 11 (1916) Bot. 195. 



Luzon (Camarines, Sorsogon), Samar, B. S. 2454-9, 22138 Ramos, Elmer 

 16976, F. B. 21249 Alvarez, 22737 Lasquety. In forests at low or medium 

 altitudes. Endemic. 



Local names: Banilad (Bik.) ; malapangi (S. L. Bis.). 



STERCULIA SPATULATA Warb. in Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 116. 



Jolo, Dumaran, Warburg 14914, Link 129, F. B. 21497 Fernandez. On

 Luzon (Ilocos Sur), Cuming 1143, variously accredited to Zambales, 

 and Albay. While numerous Philippine specimens collected within the 

 past twenty years have been referred to this species, I now consider most 

 of them to represent S. cuneata R. Br. The Celebes specimen tentatively 

 referred here by Koorders probably does not represent this species. 

 Endemic. 



DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 



STERCULIA balanghas Linn.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 27. 



Sterculia glandulosa Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 764, ed. 3, 3 (1879) 164; 

 F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 27; Merr. Sp. Blancoanae (1918) 384. 

 This is unrecognizable from Blanco's very short and imperfect descrip- 

 tion. 



Sterculia guttata Roxb.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 26. 



Sterculia laevis Wall.; F.-Vill op. cit. 27; Merr. in Philip. Bureau Forestry 

 Bull. 1 (1903) 38. 

 The specimen referred here by myself is S. oblongata R. Br. 



Sterculia lanceolata Naves in Blanco FL Filip. ed. 3 (1877-83) t. 448; 

 F.-Vill. Novis App. (1880) 27, non Cav. 



The drawing is very crude and imperfect and some myristicaceous plant 

 may have been intended; there is no description. 



Sterculia macrophylla Vent.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 27; Vidal Rev. 

 PL Vase. Filip. (1886) 65. 



Vidal 1180 referred here with doubt by Vidal 1. c. is not this species, but 

 is Sterculia crassiramea Merr. 



Sterculia nobilis R. Br.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 27.
