This is undoubtedly the species intended by Blanco, but his
description is manifestly based on two different plants.' It was
reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Cupama pleuropteris ’ Blume=s
Guioa pleuropteris Radik., which is manifestly incorrect, although
Blanco's description in part apparently applies to a species of
Guioa, and probably Guioa koelreuteria (Blanco) Merr [G per
rottetu (Biume) Radik.], Radikofer was certainly correct in
reducing the species to Sapindus saponaria Linn., for Blanco’s
description and the notes following the description apply to this
species. It is widely distributed in the Philippines at low and
medium altitudes.
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon,
November, 1114, there known as tiquis-tiqms (Merrill: Species
Blaucoanae No. 183).
