A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE Ml'RTACEiE. 335 
Genus best developed in Australia and New Caledonia, but extending through 
the Malay Archipelago to the Malay Peninsula and Burma. 
The flowers are white or yellow; the degree of pubescence of the inflorescence 
is variable.

It has not as yet been possible to obtain additional Philippine material of 
this species, although it is believed to be still abundant near the locality where 
the Wilkes Expedition made its collections. 
New Britain. 
Eucalyptus teretioornis Sm. Bot. New IJoll. (1793) 41. 
Luzon, Manila, Philip. Normal School 329, 330 Aurelia Malvar. Cultivated on 
the grounds of the Normal School. Both specimens were collected on the same 
day, from the same clump of trees, probably but not certainly from the same 
tree. Mr. J. PI. Maiden, Director of the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, N. S. W., has 
very kindly confirmed the identifications, positively for no. 329 (flowering), and 
probably for no. 330 (fruiting). It is also grown elsewhere in Manila.

Even within our geographical limits, this is a most variable species, especially 
as concerns the numbers from Malindang and Pulog, which have wider leaves 
attaining 8.5 mm, definitely 3-nerved. Taken in its whole range, Tasmania to 
Malacca, the range of variation has been even more widely interpreted, and I find 
no sufficient warrant for segregating any of the Philippine material. It is uncer- 
tain what may be finally agreed upon as the specific name, as L. porophyllum Cav. 
Ic. 4 (1797) 17, pi. 330, f. 2, and L. thea Willd. Sp. PI. 2 (1799) 949, based 
upon Melaleuca thea Wendl. Sert. Hannov. (1795-1798) 24, pi. 13, are both 
considered to be cospecific with L. flavescens. 
As a mountain top tree or shrub this is not likely to receive local names, 
the only one recorded, by Borden, from Mariveles, being Malasulasi. No economic 
uses are noted, doubtless on account of its habitat. 
The generic distribution range hardly exceeds that of this species, being from 
New Zealand to Burma.
