CANANGIUM Baillon

G. E. S. HO, locally known as Hang -ilang , its Philippine name. 
Of wide distribution in the Indo-Malayan and Polynesian regions, often 
only in cultivation. Undoubtedly introduced into Guam from the Philip- 
pines. 
W. F. Wight makes the new combination Canangium odoratum in 1905, 
overlooking the fact that the transfer of the specific name to Canangium. 
has been made at least twice previous to that date. 
POLYALTHIA Blume 
POLYALTHIA MARIANNAE (Safford) comb. nov. 
Papualthia mariannae Safford in Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci. 2 (1912) 19, 
fig. 1, 2. 
G. E. S. 209, distributed as Orophea, Costenoble s. n., Palomo 1180, the 
last two in the U. S. National Herbarium. 
After an examination of the flowering material loaned to me by Mr. 
Safford, I can see no particular reason for considering this species other 
than a representative of the genus Polyalthia. My original Guam material 
consisted of fruiting specimens only, and at the time it was studied I decided 
that is was probably a species of Orophea. The flowers, however, impress 
me as being those of typical Polyalthia.
