This species is rather variable, and is apparently rare in the Philippines, 
although it has previously been reported from the Archipelago by both Vidal and 
F.-Villar. What is apparently the earliest valid name is here adopted, as Britten 10 
shows that the part of the volume of Lamack’s work containing the description of 
Hypericum biflorum really appeared in the year 1797, and not in 1789, the date 
given on the title page.

A species widely distributed in the Philippines, and somewhat variable, in 
some forms approaching Cratoxylon blancoi Blume, but usually readily distin- 
guished from that species by its much narrower, differently shaped leaves, and 
larger panicles. It is well represented by Naves’ plate, cited above. Cratoxylon 
floribundum (Turcz.) F.-Vill., appears to be in all respects identical with C. 
celebicum Blume, and is accordingly here reduced. The wood is considerably 
utilized in the manufacture of charcoal, the common name for charcoal, uling, 
appearing in most of the native names. Common names: T., Guyong-guyong ; 
Cag., Uttuj Zamb., Panagulingon ; V. (Surigao), Vlingonj Manobo (Agusan 
Valley), Vlingun.
