Blanco’s species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Claoxylon
iridicum Hassk., but the description does not apply at all to Hass-
karl’s species. The description was based on a fruiting specimen
only and is very imperfect ; it agrees in all respects with Cleidion
spiciflorum Merr. except that the petioles are not all “cortos,”
.some being decidedly elongated, while others are short. The
ieaf characters, size and characters of the fri^t, solitary long
peduncled flowers (i. e. fruits	Blanco are characters
of Claoxylon spiciflorum Merr. ; moreover the species is common
and widely distributed in the Philippines, at low and medium
altitudes, and is found in abundance in all the provinces near
Manila from which Blanco received his material.
Illustrative specimen from Balayan, Batangas Province, Luzon,
August, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 532).
