A sterile specimen, lOJnS, is on vegetative cluinictcrs, tl.o best match for 
the type of this species that lias yet been collected. As some discussion ha^ 
been caused by a previous note ' of mine, I wish to clear up that side of the matter. 
When that was written, the material at the New York Botanical Garden consisted 
of several recent collections, chiefly from Bataan, and a sheet of Cuimng m;, 
the type number of F. luzonensis, sent to me for identification by Prof^ \\m. 
Trelease of the Missouri Botanical Garden. I decided correctly that the Bataan 
collections were not F. luzonensis Presl, but fell into the error of believing 
that they would fall under that species as interpreted by Warburg .11 the 
Pflanzenreich. I did not take up F. cumin-yiuna Gaudich. because of alleged 
priority, for I consider that the absence of description invalidates its claims 
But I did think that F. <naningiana represented the Bataan plants -.J tlu refor 
my conception of F. luzonensis Waib.; so I attempted to P"hl-'\'t »" 
Presl's species, but by referring to it Warburg's description. There - "« J-"; 
at all that Warburg correctly interpreted Presl. Nonienclatunillj , th e r^ 
my error has in no way altered the status of either name, but tlie pla.U. ^. 
referred to F. cumingiana were, with one exception, F. rolu^^onn Men. I. iu.o
