While there seems to be no doubt of the correctness of this identification, it 
must be pointed out that the nature of the stigma of the Philippine specimens 
is not accurately represented by figures 5 and 6 of Wight's plate. The apex 
of the ovary is narrowed into a short acumen at the apex of which is the capitate- 
fimbriate stigma: in dissecting dried flowers, this nearly always comes off with 
the perianth although the latter very loosely envelopes the'achene; under the 
compound microscope, it seems to be articulated. 
Local name (Apo) : palauicay.

14. DISTEMON Wedd. 
Distemon indicus Wedd. in Arch. Mus. Paris 9 (1857) 551, pi. 20, A,

11851 RoUnson d Ramos. Agrees closely with Weddell's and Hooker's descriptions, 
and with material so named from Assam. The name Distemon has twice been 
used for other genera, one of them older than that of Weddell, both of them 
regarded as synonyms. Its retention is in exact agreement with the Vienna Code, 
■ though admittedly inconsistent with the procedure here followed in such cases 
as Dehregeasia.
