Everettiodendron philippinense Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) 
Bot. 279; Elm. Leafl. Philip. Bot. 3 (1910) 916. 
This form was described as the basis of a new genus, Everettiodendron, 
with the statement that the affinities of the proposed new genus were not 
then clear to me. A recent study of more abundant material has convinced 
me that Everettiodendron is congeneric with Baccaurea, and accordingly 
the former genus is here reduced to Baccaurea, and its one species trans- 
ferred to Loureiro’s genus. In addition to the specimens cited in the 
original description, I have examined the following collections: Luzon, Prov- 
ince of Pangasinan, For. Bur. 13k93 Medina, For. Bur. Ik372, 1U388 Villamil, 
For. Bur. 21813 Maneja: Province of Cagayan, Bur. Sci. 13821 Ramos: 
Province of Zambales, For. Bur. 20885 Lopez: Province of Laguna, Bur. 
Sci. 201fl6 Ramos: Province of Tayabas, Bur. Sci. 19516 Ramos. Leyte, 
Wenzel 59k , Bur. Sci. 1521k, 15330 Ramos. 
Native names cited on the specimens are panglumbuyen, loslospit, ebeo, 
malacacao (Pangasinan) , maraculilem (Cagayan) , and baloboy (Zambales).

acumen blunt ; lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the midrib, as- 
cending at an angle of 45° or less, prominent, slightly curved, 
anastomosing, the primary reticulations lax; petioles 7 to 10 mm 
long. Flowers in axillary fascicles, the pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. 
Sepals oblong, obtuse, densely puberulent with pale brownish 
hairs, about 5 mm long. Petals narrowly oblong, obtuse, about 
5 mm long and 2 mm wide, villous on both surfaces. Disk-glands 
5, sessile, oblong-obovoid, 1.5 mm long, obtuse, glabrous. Fila- 
ments united into a column 4 to 5 mm in length, villous, bearing 
near the apex 8 sessile, oblong, obtuse, 1 mm long anthers in two
