lutea (Sw.) A. Gray, 9284- A few other species were seen sterile, all of wide 
distribution, but the paucity of the flora compared to that of the country near 
Manila, so far as this family is concerned, attracted early attention, 4 and the 
above list is the result of an especially determined attempt to secure a complete 
representation of those flowering or fruiting at the time. 
OXALIDACEAE. 
Oxalis repens Thunb., 9302. 
RUTACEAE. 
Evodia glabra Blume, 9129, 9228, 10326, local name matang arao: Micro- 
melum pubescens Blume, 9218, 9273, local name calay manoc. 
BURSERACEAE. 
Canarium ovatum Engl, in DC. Monogr. Phan. 4 (1883) 110. 
G. pachyphyllum Perk. Fragm. FI. Philip. (1904) 94. 
It seems to me quite impossible to distinguish G. pachyphyllum from the 
older species, certainly Merrill 2067, the only collection represented here that 
was cited in the description of C. pachyphyllum is good G. ovatum. The Polillo 
numbers are 9268 and 10356, the local name is pilaui or less often pili. The 
species is otherwise known from Tayabas, Camarines, Albay, Sorsogon, Samar, 
Mindanao, and Basilan, to which the description of G. pachyphyllum would add 
Rizal.

Represented by 10367, local name palaspas ; other distribution Mindoro and

Staminate inflorescences axillary, 20 to 25 cm long, the panicle-branches 
attaining a length of over 10 cm, or often much shorter, the pedicels 1 
to 4 mm long, all minutely but somewhat densely pubescent: sepals 5, 
free, imbricate, unequal, nearly semicircular, the apex rounded or some-
