Blanco’s description is not good, nor does it apply fully to
oujr common Qtyisoeheton philippinus Harms, but still there is
.ho iioubt as to the identity of the species he intended. The
leaves are alternate and not “opposite,” as described by Blanco,
apd the calyx is truncate or but very obscp^ely 5-ladthed; other-
wise, Blanco’s description applies, and it does mot apply in.¿my
other Philippine plant known to me. The species is very common
and widely distributed at low and medium altitudes in the Phil-
ippines, an# I have before me more than 80 individual collections ;
on • es© specimens are recorded 22 different native names, and
u a single specimen bears the Tagalog name agapanga cited
y anco, and none of them bears the ?Tagalog name salaqui
also given by Blanco for this species.
