Noveml)er. In forests 70 to 200 m. 
The above specimens are all -with fruits only, and accordingly 1 am unable 
definitely to determine at this time whether or not Blanco’s species is valid, or 
whether it should be reduced to some Malayan or Asiatic form. The species is 
rather common and widely distributed in Luzon, in dry thickets and open forests. 
Following Engler, Modeeca is a synonym of Adenici. Imt -with the present doubt 
regarding the validity of Blanco’s species, it is for the present retained in 
Modeeca- rather than to make a new combination.
