PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 321 
ALANGIUM SALVI I FOLIUM (L. f.) Wangerin, subsp. HEXAPETALUM 
(Lam.) Wangerin in Engl. Pflanzenreich 4P (1910) 9. 
Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley, Mrs. Clemens 59U, and several 
sheets without number. 
The above specimens seem to agree fairly well with Wangerin’s concep- 
tion of this species, as expressed in his description. The flowers have 6 
petals, which vary from 2.5 to 3.3 cm in length, hence averaging considerably 
longer than indicated for Alangium salviifolium. The stamens are usually 
about 22, and as long as the petals, glabrous below, then villous on the 
inside for from 5 to 7 mm, and glabrous above. 
A specimen from Balabac Island, Bur. Sci. IfOO Mangubat, may represent 
still another form. In vegetative characters it is very similar to A. salvii- 
folium var. hexapetalum, the petals are 6 in number^ about 2.2 cm long, 
while the stamens vary from 15 to 17, the filaments near the base supplied 
with a prominent, internal, densely villous appendage.

Species V. jagori Warb. affinis et similimis, differt foliis 
obtusis vel rotundatis, vix acuminatis vel apiculatis, calycis lobis

A species very similar to and apparently closely allied to 
Vaccinium jagori Warb. A small glabrous tree, the branches 
terete, olivaceous or brownish, smooth. Leaves thickly coria- 
ceous, subsessile, oblong-obovate to narrowly oblong-obovate, 3.5 
to 8 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, somewhat brownish when dry, 
shining, the lower surface a little paler than the upper one, 
somewhat glandular, the apex rounded or obtuse, base narrowed 
to the very short petiole, subacute or abruptly obtuse, margins 
slightly recurved; midrib prominent, the lateral nerves sharply 
ascending, slender, obscure, 2 or 3 basal pairs and one or two 
additional pairs leaving the midrib below the middle; petioles 
stout, very short or none. Flowers unknown. Racemes axillary, 
solitary, 5 to 6 cm long, glabrous. Nearly mature fruits sub-
