PINACEAE
AGATHIS Salisbury
Agathis loranthifolia Salisb.; Blanco FI. Filip, ed. 2 (1845) 528; ed. 3, 3
f|| (1879) 170=AGATHIS ALBA (Lam.) Foxw. in Philip; Jburn. Sci. A.
5 (1910) 173; 6 ;(1911) Bot. 167.
The Philippine form has been described by Warburg as Agar
this philippinensis Warb., but I agree with Fbxworthy in con-
sidering that Agdthis loranthifolia Salisb., A. philippinensis
W£rb., and the numerous other names cited by Foxworthy are
properly considered merely as synonyms Of Agathis alba (Lam.)
Foxw., being essentially identical with Dammara alba Rumph.
Herb. Amb. 2 (1841) 174, t. 57; see Merrill, E. D., Interpret.
Herb. Amb. (1917) 76. It is a Very large tree of wide distribu-
tion in the virgin forests of the Philippines at altitudes from
200 to 2,000 meters, growing on well-drained slopes. It is very
generally known in the Philippines as almaciga, the Spanish
name of the resin produced by it; i. e., Manila copal of commelfice.
Illustrative specimen from Mount Mariveles, Bataan Province,
Luzon, March, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 898).
