Dracontomelon dao (Blanco) Merr. & Rolfe

NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN
Paliurus edulis Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 173 (sp. nov.) = Paliurus lamiyo
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (184£) 122	(nom. nov.) ed. 3, 1 (1877) 218 p. p.=
DRACONTOMELUM LAMIYO	(Blanco) comb. nov. (D. cumingianum
Béill.).
The species Blanco described is a mixture, although there is
Pittleg^eubt as to what he intended.^ His description y of the
flowers is that of & ^i¿ciefe*'^‘©<&Am7l^ñd'"tih*Í6Íbié¿Ü3r‘ also
the leaves belong with the Canarium for the description “hojas
*	*	* lampiñas. Peciolo	*	*	* con dos púas largas,
colocadas arriba y lejos de la	base” applies to Canarium, cer-
tainly not to Dracontomelum cumingianum Baill. Blanco’s
description of the fruit is good for that of Baillon’s species;
and the name lamiyo is the almost universal Tagalog one for
this species and is applied to no other so far as I know.1 The
specific name eéuMs is invalidated in Dracontomelum by D7edule
Herr. It is widely distributed in forests of the Philippines
at low altitudes.
Illustrative specimen from Samar, April, 1915 (Merrill:
Species Blancoanae No. 19).
