Blanco’s monotypic genus Bulgaria, bas not previously been satisfactorily 
identified, although it was referred by Fernandez-Villar J without question and 
without discussion, to the Bornean genus Eusideroxylon Teysm. & Binn.. but a 
cursory examination of Blanco’s description shows at once that his species can not 
be referred to Eusideroxylon. It does, however, apply closely to Cryptocarya, 
and morover his specific description applies to Cryptocarya luzoniensis Vidal. 
I have accordingly here reduced Salgada to Cryptocarya, and in making this 
reduction, have adopted the earliest specific name for the species, reducing Vidal’s 
Cryptocarya luzoniensis. Blanco’s description very clearly states that his genus 
has nine fertile stamens, of which the outer six have introrse anthers, and the 
inner three have extrorse ones; moreover he describes the anthers as 1-celled, his 
expression “cuerpecillos laterales” certainly applying to the valves of the anther- 
cells. Blanco describes the ovary as inferior, probably because it is immersed in 
the calyx-tube, and later states that the fruit is inferior, the latter being ap- 
parently an error in his description, or due to a mixture of material. There seems 
to be absolutely no doubt as to the identity of Balgada with Cryptocarya, in spite 
of the above discrepancies in Blanco’s description. 
Cryptocarya bicolor sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 25 m alta; foliis alternis, elliptico-oblongis vel late 
oblongo-lanceolatis, subcoriaceis, supra glabris, nitidis, subtus albo-glau- 
cescentibus, 10 ad 20 cm longis, usque ad 7 cm latis, apice breviter 
obtuseque acuminatis, basi acutis ; nervis utrinque circiter 10, subtus 
prominentibus, ferrugineo-pubeseentibus, tenuiter anastomosantibus, 
reticulis densis, obscuris; paniculis pubescentibus, axillaribus terminali- 
busque, quam folia brevioribus; floribus sessilibus vel breviter pedicellatis, 
circiter 3 mm longis. 
A tree about 25 m high, more or less pubescent. Branches slender, 
brown, terete, somewhat pubescent, the young branchlets rather densely 
pubescent. Leaves alternate, elliptic-oblong or broadly oblong-lance- 
olate, 10 to 20 cm long, 4 to 7 cm wide, subcoriaceous, the apex shortly 
acuminate, the acumen obtuse, the base acute, the upper surface glabrous, 
shining, somewhat olivaceous, the midrib sometimes pubescent, the lower 
surface very pale, glaucous, nearly white, sparingly pubescent, the midrib 
and lateral nerves ferruginous ; nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, 
obscure on the upper surface, very distinct on the lower, slightly curved, 
spreading-ascending, attenuate and obscurely anastomosing near the 
margins, the reticulations rather dense, not distinct; petioles pubescent, 
about 8 mm long. Panicles axillary and terminal, 10 cm long or less, 
pubescent, many-flowered, somewhat diffuse. Flowers yellow, fragrant,
