FLORA OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 313 



Bot. iv. p. 233. Bentham is mistaken in referring the Hong- 

 Kong plant to his V. Oumingiana of the Philippines." But both 

 Benthara's descriptions are made from the Hong-Kong plant, 

 and his name must consequently supersede V. Andersoni, which 

 is more recent. The Philippine plant, until now undescribed, 

 may be called V. philippinensis. 



Blumea tetraptera, Rolfe. — Conyza tetraptera, Turcz. in 

 Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. 1851, pt. 1, p. 178.— F. Villar, I. c. p. 115. 

 This plant must go to Blumea. 



Apocynace^:. 



Voacanga Cumingiana, sp. nov. — Rami glabri, foliis obovato- 

 oblongis abrupte breviterque acuminatis, basi attenuatis, glabris, 

 cymis 3-floris breviter pedunculatis, calyce tubuloso segmentis 

 rotundatis, corolla? tubo angusto, segmentis rotundato-ellipticis 

 patentibus, stigmatibus styloque inclusis. 



Island of Negros, Philippines, Cuming n. 1806 ! 



Leaves 2-4 by 1-lg in., veins spreading about 6 pairs, petiole 

 6-7 lin. Peduncle and pedicels \ in. long. Calyx 1 in., its lobes 

 1 lin. long. Corolla-tube \\ in., lobes 1 in. long. A marked 

 species ; but as the two specimens are small 1 have not dissected 

 a flower to examine the stamens &c. 



Ichnocarpus Navesii, Rolfe. — I. ? frutescens ?, Naves in 

 Blanco, I. c. ed. 3, tab. 97, non B. Br. — I. ovatifolius, F. Villar, 

 I. c. p. 131, non B. Br. Villar refers this plate to I. ovatifolius, 

 A. DC, but it is quite distinct. 



Kickxia Blancoi, Rolfe. — Anasser floribus axillaribus soli- 

 tariis, Blanco, I. c. ed. 1, p. 114 ; ed. 2, p. 81 ; ed. 3, vol. i. p. 149 

 (in nota). — K. arborea, F. Villar, I. c. p. 132, t. 428, non Blume. 

 P. Villar refers this to K. arborea, Blume, which, however, is 

 quite distinct, and must be excluded. 



Bignoniace^;. 

 Stereospermum quadriplnnatum, F. Villar, I. c. p. 151, t. 252. 

 — Millingtonia quadripinnata, Blanco, I. c. ed. 1, p. 501 ; ed. 2, 

 p. 351; ed. 3, vol. ii. p. 286, t. 252. Prov. Albay, Luzon, 

 Cuming n. 1003 ! ; Santa Cruz, Prov. Zambales, Luzon, S. Tidal 

 n. 479 ! This is evidently the plant which Blanco had in view, 

 and the only one to which his term " Flores paniculato-racemosi" 

 will apply. It is not the plant figured by Vidal (Syn. t. 73. 

 fig. A), nor yet Radermachcra quadripinnata, Seem. (Journ of
