A widely distributed endemic species, previously confused by me with Garcinia 
venulosa (Blanco) Choisy, but to which Blanco’s description does not at all 
closely apply, although the species is sometimes received under the native name 
cited by him. The species erroneously identified by Vidal as G. maingayi Hook, 
f., and of which he figured the staminate flowers, appears to me to be referable 
here, the drawing seems to have been made from immature specimens, and its 
accuracy is very doubtful. On this imperfect drawing Pierre based his Garcinia 
bosobosoensis, which is also here reduced to G. dives. The specimens referred by 
Vidal to Garcinia cowa Roxb., do not appear to me to be that species, and I have 
doubtfully referred here, Garcinia cowa Vidal, non Roxb., although I am not at 
all sure that the pistillate flower figured by him as Roxburgh’s species, is really 
that of Garcinia dives. The type of Garcinia dives is Cuming 1659, which accord- 
ing to the Kew list was collected in Panay. The fruits appear to be always 
1-eelled. Pamp., Pildis; T., Malabilucao, Tatlang anac, Bilucao ; Z., Paniguiuen.

The only Philippine specimen of this species that I have seen is one collected 
on Mangsi Island by the Wilkes Expedition, and now in the U. S. National 
Herbarium. It is commonly cultivated in the Sulu Archipelago, in some parts of 
southern Mindanao, and in southern Negros. It does not thrive as far north as 
Manila, but the fruits are to be found in the Manila markets in season, mostly 
imported from Singapore, rarely from Jolo. The mangosteen.

March, 1907, the former from Agolio Point and the latter from the Bilaran trail: 
locally known as Bunog. 
The specimens agree closely with Pierre’s figures and description, and also 
with specimens from trees cultivated in the botanical garden at Buitenzorg.

Luzon, Province of Iloeos Sur, Cuming 1124 (cotype) ; For. Bur. 5661 Klemme, 
November, 1906. 
The only specimen that I have seen that exactly matches Cuming’s specimen 
is Klemme 5661, which is from the same province in which Cuming’s specimen 
was collected, according to Cuming’s list of localities at Kew. The rudimentary 
ovary in the staminate flowers is wanting, but otherwise the specimens agree 
perfectly with those referred to G. venulosa below. I suspect that G. cumingiana 
is only a form of Blanco’s species, but careful field work and a full series of 
specimens will be necessary to prove this. II., Gatasan.
