SHOREA MALIBATO Foxw. in Leafl. Phil. Bot. 6 (1913) 1955. This is represented by the original collection from Agusan Province Mindanao. The leaves resemble those of Shorea ciliata, but the fruit is smaller and the long calyx-lobes have more numerous longitudinal nerves For. Bur. 22786 Miranda, collected in Zamboanga Province, Mindanao, August 17, 1914, under the name of guijo amarillo, has fruit which seems to be intermediate between that of Shorea malibato and S. ciliata The fruit is slightly larger than that of S. ciliata and the wings are those of S. malibato. 5. SHOREA FALCIFEROIDES sp. nov. Yamban matibia (Zambales). Arbor magna. Foliis et f ructibus 5. falciferae similis sed foliis majoribus et fructibus minoribus. A large tree with oblong to oblong-lanceolate, coriaceous leaves which are glabrous or nearly so and dark green above, distinctly lighter and finely pubescent beneath, 8.5 to 12 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, rather abruptly blunt acuminate at apex, rounded at base; secondary veins 12 to 14 pairs, occasionally with domatia in the axils of some of the lower veins, tertiary veins not conspicuous ; petiole 15 to 20 mm long, grayish pubescent, as are also the twigs and the branches of the flower clusters. Stipules small, deciduous. Fruit conical gray pubescent, tapering into the hairy* persistent style, 7 to 8 mm in diameter and 7 to 10 mm tall. The three long calyx-lobes 4 to 5 cm long, 10 to 12 mm wide, grayish pubescent, oblanceolate, with 8 to 10 principal longitudinal veins and numerous irregular cross-veins, the short wings 2.5 to 3 cm long, 2 to 3 mm wide, oblanceolate, with about the same number of longitudinal veins as the larger wings. Flowers unknown. Luzon, Zambales Province, Masinloc, For. Bur. 2566U Mayor, June 8 1916 (type). This form resembles Shorea falcifera Dyer but has larger and differently shaped leaves, with a greater number of veins and smaller fruits. The wood is said to be of very good quality and to be used for structural work. 6. SHOREA MALAANONAN (Blanco) Blume in Mus. Lugd. Bat. 2 (1852) 34; Foxw. in Phil. Journ. Sci. 6 (1911) Bot. 270. Mocanera malaanonan Blanco, Fl. Filip. (1837) 858. Dipterocarpus malaanonan Blanco, Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 312. This species is still but little known. Blanco's description is not a close one and the material referred to this species presents considerable variation. Other species that have been considered as belonging here are Parashorea
190 The Philippine Journal of Science isis plicata and Shorea polita. The principal reason for considering the first as a possibility is that it has the underside of the leaves whitish and is sometimes known by the common name of malaanonan. Both of these conditions are met by the other two species. Blanco's description refers to three long calyx lobes in the fruit, which would certainly indicate Shorea rather than Parashorea. The description also mentions three stigmas, which is not the case in Parashorea plicata. It is often known as lauan or malaanonan. The common names reported for it from different provinces are: Litoc (Cagayan) ; apnit (Ilocos Sur) ; lauan or lauan puti (Nueva Ecija, Zambales, and Tayabas) • malaanonang (Rizal) ; baliuisiuis (Pang.). Much of our material is sterile and some of the material referred here is very doubtfully identified. Shorea polita Vid. I now believe to be a distinct species, differing from S. malaanonan by the smaller leaves. The fruit of the two forms is very similar. Luzon: Cagayan, Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Zambales, Rizal, Tayabas. 7. SHOREA POLITA Vidal Sinopsis, Atlas (1883) 15, t. 15, f. d. In my former paper I placed this, mistakenly, with S. malaanonan, from which it seems to be distinct. It is known by the following local names: Litoc (Cagayan) ; lauan (Zambales) ; malaanonang (Rizal) ; danlig (Rizal) ; and mangasinoro (Tayabas). Luzon: Cagayan, Zambales, ' Rizal, Tayabas. 8.

Bur. 22712, July 30, 1914 This differs from the type of Shorea scrobiculata in having generally smaller leaves and fruits and in the longer and more slender wings to the fruits. Its general appearance is so like the species, however, that it is thought best to place it with S. scrobiculata, for the present. Credited with being a yacal. The species, till now, has been known only from Borneo. 19. SHOREA NEGROSENSIS Foxw. LUZON: Cagayan, Isabela, Laguna, Tayabas, Albay, Sorsogon. NEGROS. MINDANAO: Surigao, Agusan. 20.

A fine grade of red lauan but harder and heavier than is usually the case with that wood. It has some resemblance to guijo and is locally known by that name. It grouws with other Dipterocarps in tall forest. The fruit, when fresh, showed a distinct reddish tinge in the wings, the nut being covered with a pale silky pubescence. The fruit is eaten by the forest animals very quickly after its fall. MINDANAO, Zamboanga District, Port Banga, For. Bur. 13758, Foxworthy, De Mesa & Villamil, June 17, 1912 (type). This species was first collected by Whitford & Hutchinson, For. Bur. 9174, 9493, in the same neighborhood, in December and January, 1907 and 1908. More recent collections have been (all of them from the same part of the Zamboanga Peninsula): For. Bur. 14210, Foxworthy, De Mesa & Villamil, June, 1912 (with the name malacayan colorado); For. Bur. 20266, Stadtmiller & Ferraris, January 1913. The specific name "plagata" is given because of the resemblance of the leaves to those of Hopea plagata. It is allied to Shorea selanica Blume and apparently also is rather closely related to Shorea warburgii Gilg. 21. SHOREA MINDANENSIS sp. nov. § Anthoshorea. Arbor magna.

Luzon, Sorsogon Province, Irosin, 16840 Elmer, August, 1916, (type). Field note: "Medium-sized tree in woodlands along streams at 1,000 feet facing the Pacific. Trunk terete, somewhat crooked, 2 feet thick, 40 feet high, mainly branched toward the top; wood whitish on the outside, moderately hard; bark thick, smoothish and chalky white blotched, ochroleucous otherwise; main branches divaricate, not long but repeatedly branched; leaves chartaceous, con duplicate, descending, slightly paler green beneath, points recurved, fruit wings pale yellowish green, turning dull purple, the nut ovoid, green or yellowish green." This is most nearly related to Vatica lowii King, from which it differs by the smaller size of the fruit, the fewer veins to the leaf, and the much larger size of the flowers. Several other species of this genus seem to be represented in our collections by sterile material. Their identification will have to wait until more complete material is collected.
