in Luzon; from his discussion of the Luzon plant as the large pandacaqui, 

 and that the natives used the latex for the same purposes as the ordinary

 Cape of Good Hope one to have been Voacanga globosa (Blanco) Merr. 



Sulipa globosa Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 348, ed. 3, 2 (1878) 290; 

 Merr. Sp. Blancoanae (1918) 384. 



Blanco described only the fruit, and his species is unrecognizable. F.- 

 Villar reduced it to Planehonia littoralis Blume.
