Herbarium, the Gray Herbarium nor in the Herbarium of Columbia Univer- 
sity. (See Merrill, the Thilippine Plants collected by the Wilkes United

vannarformis (Forst. f.) Pvolfe, to which must be referred Maranta arundimi- 
- cea Blanco, nou Linn., M. dichotonta Naves, non \y a 11., Vlinoyijne yrandis
