7. Lagerstroemia paniculata (Turcz.) S.Vidal

Lagerstroemia paniculata (Turcz.) S.Vidal (1885) 39, 115; Koehne (1903) 268; Furtado & Srisuko (1969) 228, f. 15. — Pterocalymna paniculata Turcz. (1846) 508. — Lagerstroemia calycina Koehne (1883) 25; (1898) 14, f. 5: W, X. — Type: Cuming 1188 (holo LE n.v.; iso E photo seen, K, L (2 sheets)), Philippines, Luzon, see note for the epithet calycina .

Trees 15–18 m tall; bark not recorded. Leaves: petiole 0.5– 1 cm long; lamina glabrous on upper surface, lower surface glabrous but slightly hairy on midvein, 6–17 by 3–7 cm; lateral veins 8–11 per side; intercostal venation reticulate. Inflorescences terminal, lax, 10–30 cm long, minutely hairy when young. Flowers: bud minutely hairy, turbinate, c. 8–12 mm long, to 1 mm long nippled; pseudopedicel 3–5 mm long; calyx tube 6-ridged, ridges conspicuously winged both along ridges as well as along calyx lobe-sutures, without auricles between the calyx lobes; calyx lobes (sepals) 6, glabrous within, c. 3 mm long; petals showy, pinkish to violet, elliptic-oblong, c. 7 mm long (including c. 2 mm long claw), margin undulate; stamens ± radially dimorphic; ovary glabrous. Capsules unknown (but aspect likely shagreen).

Distribution — Philippines (Luzon), known from 3 collections: the type, Roso s.n., and Sulit PNH 22870.

Note — The name L. calycina Koehne (1883) was according to its author based on Pterocalymna calycina Turcz. (1846) , but the latter binomial is not extant on the place cited. As its type allegedly is the same as that of L. paniculata it should be regarded as an isonym, treated as such by Furtado & Srisuko (1969).
