OCHROCARPUS Thouars 
OCHROCARPUS EXCELSUS (Zoll. & Mor.) Vesque in DC. Monog. Phan. 
8 (1893) 525. 
Calophyllum excelsum Zoll. & Mor. Nat. Geneesk. Arch. Neerl. Ind. 2 
(1845) 582; Hassk. & Zoll. in Flora (1847) 641. 
Ochrocarpus obovalis Safford in Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 9 (1905) 335, 
pi. 59. 
Mrs. Clemens s. n., G. E. S. U76. 
Along the seashore, Java, Christmas Island and Borneo to New Guinea, 
Fiji, and the Admiralty Islands. 
I can see no reason for considering Ochrocarpus obovalis (Miq.) Safford 
to be specifically distinct from O. excelsus Vesque. Our Guam material 
presents both obovate and elliptic leaves on the same branchlets. It man- 
ifestly represents quite the same species as Ridley 68 from Christmas Island 
(south of Java), distributed as Ochrocarpus ovalifolius Anders.
