and a number of specimens among those above cited show both softly pubescent 
leaves and branchlets, and other more mature perfectly glabrous leaves on the 
same branches. Mature plants are nearly glabrous throughout.

This species is widely distributed in the Philippines, extending from northern 
Luzon to Mindanao. For numerous specimens representing the species, see those 
cited by myself I. c. Additional material is represented by the following: 
Luzon, Province of Cagayan, For. Bur. 18480 Alvarez: Province of Ilocos Sur, 
For. Bur. 13028 Paraiso: Province of Nueva Ecija, For. Bur. 14319 Saroca. 
Leyte, For. Bur. 12766 Rosenbluth.

rines) ; Malatagum (Zamboanga) ; Batitinan (Zambales, Zamboanga) ; Batitinan-

Terminalia, polyantha Presl, reduced' to this species by me, with doubt, belongs 
in a different section of the genus.

This species is closely allied to Terminalia pellucida Presl, but is distinguished 
by its larger leaves, much larger fruits, and pubescent spikes. The abundant 
material now available has lead me to reduce Terminalia ellipsoidea, as the 
characters on which that species was based, do not appear to be constant.
