The above specimens certainly represent the species as interpreted by Vidal 
and accepted by Brandis, but as noted by Brandis, Blanco’s description does not 
apply closely. The tree is apparently not well known to the natives of the region 
surrounding Mormt Mariveles, as no native name was obtained. Specimens from 
the mountains back of Manila, identical with those cited above, bear the Tagalog 
names Lisican and Bangui.
