A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYRTACE7E. 403 
3. E. bauangica ed. 1 416; ed. 2 290. 
The description is entirely inadequate, but the chances are that E. malaccensis 
Linn, is intended. 
4. E. Montana ed. 1 416; ed. 2 291. 
Naves interpreted this to be the species here named E. calubcob. Villar con- 
sidered him to be wrong, and reduced it to E. macrocarpa Roxb., a species not 
known to occur in the Islands. This was apparently done by reason of the 
description of the fruit, but apart from the local names cited by Blanco there is 
little reason to think that Naves was wrong. 
5. E. glandulosa ed. 1 417; ed. 2 291. 
The only Philippine species at all answering the description is Rhodomyrtus 
tomentosa, but the known distribution of the latter makes the identification 
unlikely. 
6. E. .tambos ed. 1 416; ed. 2 290 (yambos) . 
This has previously been reduced to E. malaccensis, to which there is little 
intrinsic objection. The probabilities are much greater that E. jwvanica was 
intended: it seems to be the only species near Manila known as Macupa, though 
farther south that name belongs to E. malaccensis. 
7. Psidium aeomaticum ed. 1 417. 
P. pyriferum ed. 2 292. 
This is certainly P. guajava Linn., of which both the varieties into which 
Linnaeus specifically divided it are very common in the Philippines. 
8. Calypthranthes jambolana ed. 1 418. 
jS 'yzygium jambulanum ed. 2 293. 
Undoubtedly E. jambolana Lam. 
9. Calypthranthes makal ed. 1 419. 
C. zuzygium? ed. 2 293. 
Villar reduced this to E. operculata Roxb., to which the species here described 
as E. clausa is at least very closely allied. There is but one objection to connect- 
ing Blanco’s species with the latter ; both in the Indian and Philippine plants, 
the inflorescence is on the older branches, mostly below the leaves ; Blanco says 
“Flores terminates.” No other species agrees nearly as well with his other state- 
ments, the distinctive character being the deciduous calyx-apex. Both of Blanco’s 
specific names had been previously used in Calyptranthes, and were evidently 
intended as mere identifications. 
10. Calypthanthes ramiflora ed. 1 420. 
Syzygium latifolium ed. 2 294. 
This is most probably Eugenia similis Merr. 
11. Myrtus tripinnata ed. 1 421. 
Myrtus subrubens ed. 2 294. 
There are many reasons for supposing this to be E. luzonensis Merr., but the 
description agrees slightly more perfectly with a nearly allied species, to which 
Blanco’s specific name has here been attached. 
12. Myrtus communis Blanco ed. 1 422; ed. 2 295. 
There is no doubt that this is Decaspernum blancoi. 
13. Pi.inia paniculata ed. 1 423; ed. 2 290. 
Reduced by Villar to Kayea racemosa, correctly as to genus, the species now 
being known as Kayea paniculata (Blanco) Merr. It is thus excluded from the 
family.
