rLANTS FROM BATANES AND CAUUYAXES ISLANDS. 437 
The oldest specific name is here adopted for this common and widely distributed 
species. Linnaeus^ first cites FI. Zeyl. 53, in liis description of the species, but 
adds other references, at least one of whicli represents a different species. Trimen ' 
however, states under Sarcocephalus cordatus Miq., "Hermann's drawing (there 
is no specimen) is certainly this; wliich fixes Linnaous's Nauclea orientals as 
originally tlie same."
