My collection is from tlie tvpe locality of L. rizalianus, Los Banos bein*^ at 
the foot of ]\Iaquiling, but neither of them in Kizal Province. We have, more- 
over, Chrisfs determination of Whitford's plant as Tj. rizalianus. I can not 
see that this plant differs in any detail from De)uirogJossa normaiis Presl. The 
L. minor F6e reported from the Philijipines may also be assumed to be this 
plant, being the same collection, Cuming 326, which is the type of this species. 
The L. minor of India and L. normaiis must he very closely related. Both are 
A-ery near L. hi/wcoJatus Fee, of which L. normaiis is possibly a variety produced 
by the environment; but they seem to me to remain distinct when growing near 
together.

I have long regarded this plant of the southern islands as a distinct species. 
But single specimens collected by Mrs. Clemens seem to represent still others; 
and different collections of Lomagramma from Luzon and Mindoro vary notably, 
thougii each collection is very uniform. More collections are needed before it 
is possible to decide wliether we have a considerable number of species, or a 
single very variable one. 
Lomagramma articulata (J. Sm.) Copcl. comb. nov. {Pofghofrya J. Sm. Journ. 
of Bot. 3 (1871) 401). 
Leyte, Cuming; Camp Keithley, Mindanao, Clemens 1073. 
This plant is not Pohjhoirya. It is Arthrohotrya J. Sm. 1875, non Artliro- 
hofrgs Wall. 1828. It is congeneric with ^'i'." M'ilkesiana and ''P." pohjphylh. 
A separate genus might be established for these plants; but they are very 
closely related to Lomagramma and I think it better to include them in it. L. 
polyphyUa Brack, was originally described in its most proper genus. 
L. Wilkesiana {Polyhotrya Brack., Wilkes Expl. Exped. 10 (1854) 80) stands 
between L, polyphyUa and L. articulata. 
OLEANDRA Cav. 
Oleandra colubrina (Blanco) Copel. 
This species extends as far as Java, from which island we liave almost typical 
specimens. It is 0. neriifonvis var. ^3, hrachypiis of Hoolrr, Species Filieuui, 
IV, lo(), distinguished by having the articulation close to the base of the frond, 
leaving a pedicel much longer than the stipe. I suspect that it will eventually 
seem desirable to distinguish several species having this cliaracter, two of which 
are here described as varieties. In the localities where they occur, these varieties 
are well defined and apparently very stable. There has been much confusion 
among older species of Oleandra, as is illustrated by one of our sheets of 
Cuming 94, labeled 0. twriiformis, on which 3 thoroughly distinct species are 
combined. Presl had a similar experience with Cuming's Oleandra.
