MYRTAOE^. 
J 
Barringtonia speciosa Linn. f. (p. 508). "Hab. . . . Maiig>ii Islands." A 
tree common along the seasliore throiigliout the Philippines. No specimen fouinl. 
Eugenia benthamii A. Gray (p. 520). "Hab. Mangsi Islands in the Sooloo 
Arcliipelago." Very fragmentary, but unquestionably identical with the specimen 
from Tobie Island, Hyzygium nitiduni Benth., wliieh 1 have examined at Kew, 
and which is really the type of the species. It is matched by Nos. 21H5 and 
2237 Merrill, Mindoro, and is apparently a valid species. 
Sonneratia acida Linn. f. (p. 550). *'Hab. Lnzon, in the vicinity of Manilla 
(in fruit) ."^jSi, caseoluris Engl., a species not uncommon in the Philippines. 
Eucalyptus multiflora Rich sp. nov. (p. 554). "Hab, near Caldera, Mindanao, 
one of the Philippine Lslands," One of the few species of Eucalyptus found 
outside of Australia, and not as yet rediscovered. It has been reduced by Maiden 
to Kucalypi'us imudiniana F. Miill. (PI. 2.) 
MELASTOilATACEiE. 
Memecylon calderense A. Gray sp. nov. (p. 574, Tab. 71). "Hab. near 
Caldera, Mindanao, one of the Philippine Islands." Reduced by Cogniaux to 
M. pa niculatuin , but it may prove to be a distinct species, the branches and 
branchlets terete. 
^ 
Dissochaeta cumingii Naudin ? (p. 600). "Hab. Luzon; in the mountains 
near Bauos." Leaf specimens only, but certainly Astronia meyeri Merr. 
Melastoma fasciculare Naudin ? (p. 602). "Hab. Luzon, Philippine Islands, 
near Manilla." The specimen agrees with a cotype of Xandin's species in herb. 
Kew, and is to me the same as Melastoma polyanthum Blume, altliough Cogniaux 
reduces it with doubt to Melastoma imhricatum Wall. I have seen no specimens 
of the latter species from the Philippines. 
LYTHRACE^. 
Pemphis acidula Forst. (p. 605). "Hab. Sooloo Islands . . , . " Common 
along the seashore throughout the Philippines. 
F 
COMUKETACE^. 
Terminalia catappa Linn. (p. 615). "Hab. Mangsi Islands, in tlie Sooloo 
Sea . . . . " The specimen in the United States National Herbarium marked 
"Mangsi" is exactly identical with a sheet iu the Herbarium of Columbia 
University marked "Tongatabu," both specimens undoubtedly having come from 
the same tree, the specimen at Washington probably being wrongly labeled. 
Neither sheet represents TerminuJia catappa L., but the Polynesian Terminah'a 
Httoralis Seem., a species not found in tlie Indo-Malayan region. 
ONAGRACE.E. 
Ludwigia jussiaeoides Lam. (p. 619). "Hab. Caldera, Mindanao, one of the 
Philippine Islands." The specimen is apparently Ludwigia proatruia Ruxb.
