Leyte, Palo, Elmer 7152 (type of Mallotus eglandulosus Elm.), 7318, 
January, 1906, in fruit; Ormoc, For. Bur. 11631 Whitford, March, 1909, 
with staminate flowers. Cebu, Danao, For. Bur. 6U62, 6UU, 6k67 Everett, 
February, 1907, with staminate flowers. Mindanao, District of Davao, 
Williams 2808, May, 1905, with staminate flowers. 
Mallotus eglandulosus Elm. was described from fruiting specimens, and 
was reduced to Homonoia javensis Muell.-Arg. by J. J. Smith 1. c., a species 
not previously recorded from the Philippines under its proper name. An 
examination of our material with staminate flowers confirms the reduction, 
for the stamens are arranged in branched phalanges.
