Callicarpa. 65 



Distribution : Mindanao. 



We did not see any specimen of this species, but the des- 

 cription gives rise to the supposition that it may be identical 

 with C. Blancoi.

Its affinity is with C. pedunculata, with the var. (3 of which 

 its leaves are pretty much conform, but from which it is very 

 different in the covering of the upper side of the leaves, the 

 number of nerve-pairs, and other distinct points; also with C. 

 macrophglla, C. caudata and C. pilosissima, from which species, 

 however,, it is distinctly different.
