76 MEItRILL. 
J 
fourteen of the Pliilippino species consulered by Gray, were not to Ije 
found in the United States National Herbarium, and but four of this 
number were found elsewliere, one, Ileviigyrosa perrottetii Bl., being 
represented in the Gray Herbarium, and throe, Derris uliginosa Bentli., 
Soplwra towrntosa Linn., and Rnhus rugosus Sm., in the Colunil)ia 
University Herbarium. Many of tlie species mentioned by Pickering, 
sucli as Gahnia, Cnicus, etc., were not found, but more careful search 
may reveal tliem in some one of the above institutions, althougli it seems 
evident that a considerable number of the Wilkes Expedition plants are 
no longer extant. Only ninety-six species of Wilkes Expedition Philip- 
pine flowering plants were found in the United States JSTational Museimi 
that were not considei-ed hy Graj, and most of these represent common 
and widely distributed species. 
All Philippine plants collected by the Wilkes Expedition that are 
mentioned by Gray in Ids one published volume on the botany of tlie 
VVilkes Expedition are enumerated in the list given below. Where no 
doubt exists as to the correctness of his identification no comment is 
made. No attempt has been made to discuss the ferns in the present 
paper, and it has not been thought worth while to enumerate the species 
represented in the United States National Herbarium that were not 
considered by Gray. The present paper will serve to clear up a numl)or 
of points in regard to the synonomy of I^hilippine species, and an 
•examination of the authentic specimens in the light of our present 
knowledge of Philippine botany has enabled me to correct several errors 
in identification on the part of Dr. Gray. 
Tlie photographs of the four types here reproduced were supplied ine 
by Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator of the Ignited States Natioiial Her- 
barium, and are here published witli the consent of tlie Secretary of the 
Smithsonian Institution.
