Like many other species described by Blanco, Lis Cambogia binucao lias long 
been doubtful. I. am confident, however, that the above specimens represent his 
species, as his description applies closely, with the exception of the description 
of the stamens, and it is the only species known to me to which the name Bilucao 
is applied, and is, moreover, common and widely distributed, especially in the 
regions from which Blanco secured most of his material. The fruits are edible, 
and are prominently ridged when dry, as described by Blanco, the latter character 
confined to very few species so far as the Philippines are concerned. Cuming’s 
specimen, cited above, the type number of Garcinia duodecandra Pierre, is the only 
one I have seen with flowers, the other specimens having fruits, or a few with 
leaves only. From the material at present at hand, I can see no valid reason for 
holding G. duodecandra Pierre distinct from Blanco’s species. T., Bilucao; Z.,
