described under this name the flowers of the one and the leaves of the other: 
if so, it is to the present species that his name chiefly belongs. 
Zarcoa philippica was reduced by F.-Villar to G. philippinense, but it is much 
better placed here. 
Mueller’s plant had no male flowers, and owing probably to the large leaves 
(usually about 8 inches long), he placed G. cumingii in the section Euglochidion. 
But none of the specimens which best match his type have more than 4 anthers, 
and the number is nearly always 3. It is curious that Boerlage, in transferring 
Blanco’s specific name to Giochidion, placed the species in the subsection Holo- 
glochidion, corresponding to Euglochidion of Mueller. He can therefore hardly 
have had the same species, but as he cited Kirganelia alba as the original name 
of the species, liis transfer will stand. G. leytense is to me the extreme variation 
in the direction of least pubescence, and the most distinct form of the species. 
There is a further great resemblance in habit to G. trichogynum, but the styles 
are so very dissimilar that the species can not be united. Yet, even here, there 
are intermediates, not, however, bridging the gap.
