14. ERYTHROPHLOEUM Afzel. 
1. Erythrophloeum densiflorum (Elm.) Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) 
Bat. 267. 
Cynometra densiflora Elmer Leafl. Philip: Bot. 1 (1907) 222. 
Luzon, Province of Cagayan, For. Bur. 17198 Curran: Province of Tayabas, 
Elmer 901b (type number), For. Bur. 1015b, 10215, 10272 Curran, For. Bur. 
11513 Whitford, For. Bur. 12507 Rosenblunth. Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, 
For. Bur. 9163 Whitford & Hutchinson (probably, specimen sterile). 
Native names: Camatog, calamantao, tacloban (Tayabas); salsal (Cagayan). 
Endemic. Widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes. 
The generic distribution is peculiar, about five species being found in tropical 
Africa and Madagascar, one in Australia, one in the Philippines, and one in 
southern China. 
Since the above transfer to Erythrophloeum was published, I have received 
a note from the Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, verifying its correctness. 
15. CYNOMETRA Linn. 
Flowers on the stem and thick branches in racemes with a produced axis; 
pedicels glabrous; leaflets 1-jugate 1. C. cauliflora 
Flowers in the leaf-axils on the branchlets, in racemes or corymbs without a 
produced axis; pedicels puberulous. 
Leaves pinnate, the leaflets 1-2- jugate. 
Leaflets 2-jugate, the lower pair usually very much smaller than the up- 
per. 
Leaflets usually blunt-acuminate, the acumen broad and retuse at the 
apex; pods not or but slightly rugose 2. C. inaequifolia 
Leaflets usually acuminate, sometimes rounded, but scarcely retuse at the 
apex; pods rugose - 3. C. bijuga 
Leaflets 1-jugate. 
Leaflets 10 to 14 cm long 4. C. ramiflora 
Leaflets 1 to 6 cm long 5. C. warburgii 
Leaves reduced to single leaflets. 
Leaflets up to 12 cm long, the apex sharply acuminate, the base broad, 
rounded, subcordate 6. C. luzoniensis 
Leaflets usually less than 10 cm in length, the apex broadly and bluntly 
acuminate, the base narrowed, acute 7. C. simplicifolia

Luzon, Manila, Vidal 1278, Loher 2205, in Herb. Kew., from a specimen 
cultivated in the old Botanical Garden. 
This species has properly no place in the Philippine flora, except as a 
cultivated plant, or one that was cultivated, as the tree from which Vidal 
and Loher collected their material is no longer in existence. Loher’s specimen 
is labeled as having been collected in the Botanical Garden, but Vidal’s specimen 
bears only the label “Luzon;” in his “Revision,” however, he adds Manila, and 
tracing the matter back further, we find that his drawing in the “Sinopsis Atlas,” 
was from this Botanical Garden specimen. F.-Villar’s reference is undoubtedly to 
this same tree.
