CARPUS CUN El FORM IS Blanco (S. perrottetii March.) .
This species is common and widely distributed in the Phil-
ippines and is especially abundant about Manila. . There is no
reason to conside^that Blanco’s Semecarpus wnacardium is other
than a mere form of his S. cuneiformis. Both are manifestly
the same as the species later described, from specimens collected
In Manila, as Semecarpus perrottetii March. * see Merrill in Philip.
journ. Sei. 7 (1912) Bot. 289. The species is commonly known
as ligas (Tagalog), and to many persons it is a violent contact
poison, the symptoms of poisoning being the same as those
caused by Rhus toxicodendron Linn.
Illustrative specimen from Manila* Luzon, February, 1913
(Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 283).
