Kindly refer to the following literature: *Mallotus philippensis* (Lam.) Müll.Arg. in Linnaea 34: 196. 1865 & in DC., Prodr. 15(2): 980. 1866 (as *philippinensis*); Hook.f., Fl. Brit. India 5: 442. 1887 (as *philippinensis*). *Croton philippensis* Lam., Encycl. 2: 206. 1786 (as *philippense*).
As per the ICBN, the original spelling of a taxon must be retained. Hence we have to maintain the spelling "*philippensis*" here and not *"philippinensis".* Lamarck treated the gender of the genus as neuter, but now the gender of *Mallotus *is adopted and accepted to be masculine. I hope that the above point clarifies the spelling of the species.
