This species is not a native of the Philippines and is only occasionally cultivated 
for local use, and not on a commercial scale. I have previously doubted the 
correctness of Blanco’s Identification,® his descri[ition being very imperfect. 1 have 
not seen flowering sjiecimens from the Philippines. Well-informed natives state 
that the species rarely flowers. T., tSalai. Tanglad. V., Baliyoco. 8]).-Fil., J'aju
