Memecylon lanceolati!m Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) SOI (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2
(1845) 209; ed. 3, 2 ,(1878) 26.
This species is common and widely distributed at low and
medium altitudes in Luzon and is abundant in the regions from
which Blanco secured most of his botanical material. Metirie-
cylon pyrifolìum Presi, M. cumingianwn Presi, and M. clausi-
florum Naud., all based on Philippine material, are synonyms
as I understand these forms as described; see Merrill in Philip.
