A species allied to Cedrela febrifuga Blume {—Toona febrifuga Roem.), but 
differing in its constantly larger fruits, which are 3 to 3.5, sometimes 4 cm in 
length. It apparently is widely distributed in the Philippines. We have here 
adopted the specific name Calantas from the native and trade name of the species, 
it being universally known in the Philippines by that name, the timber being 
fragrant and of considerable commercial importance. We have no doubt but that 
the two Philippine specimens doubtfully referred by C. DeCandolle 1 to Cedrela 
febrifuga, are really Toona Calantas. An allied species, possibly true Toona 
febrifuga Roem., is represented by For. Bur. 5881 Curran, from Zambales Prov- 
ince, Luzon, its fruits but 2 cm in length.

In describing Aglaia monophylla, Dr. Perkins indicated that it is possibly 
identical with Vidal's Beddomea luzoniensis, and on examining the type of the 
latter we are able to affirm the identity of the two species, here adopting the 
earlier specific name. The species is widely distributed in the Philippines and is 
represented by the following specimens:
