The Benguet specimens are from altitudes of 1,500 m or above, while those 
Prom Zambales are from 700 to 800 m. The Mindoro specimens were collected 
at an altitude of about 200 m, and differ in having smaller, thinner and less 
prominently veined leaves, than the type, in vegetative characters being very 
similar to Vaccinium caudatum Warb., but they have the lanate filaments of 
V. benguetense. A tree 7 to 12 m high.

The only specimens of this species that I have seen are those collected by 
Cuming, one of which is in our herbarium. It is very closely allied to Vaccinium 
benguetense Vidal, apparently differing chiefly in its persistent bracts and slightly 
more prominent calyx-teeth.

The type of this species, Vidal 1535, was from the District of Lepanto, Luzon, 
and it seems to be closely matched by the specimens cited above. The species 
can be readily recognized by the peculiar capitate-glandular hairs of the inflores- 
cence, this character being found in only one other known Philippine species, the 
very different V. tenuipes above described.

A small tree, 6 to 10 m high, growing on exposed ridges at altitudes of from 
1,050 to 2,000 m, recognizable by its nearly sessile leaves. I have seen the type 
of the species in the Berlin Herbarium, and the above specimens agree closely 
with it.

A species manifestly allied to Vaccinium jagori Warb., but distinguished by 
its pubescent inflorescence and fruits, and distinctly petioled leaves.
