BOTANICAL NOTES. 221 
fails to disclose any character by which this Philippine material can be held 
distinct from that from Celebes. The latter is figured as having a longer corolla 
than is usually seen on our collections, but it varies in length on the same 
branchj merely as a matter of age. The species is widely distributed in the 
Philippines, the Polillo numbers being 9057 and 10267.

The species so-called in Philippine botany is represented by 0916, 10307, but 
the identification is doubtful in two ways. From the synonymy attributed to 
the species, there seem to be older valid specific names, one of them, Torenia 
hirta Cham. & Schl., having been based upon Philippine material. Moreover, 
in the Polillo specimens and nearly all others from the Philippines that have 
been so identified,, the calyx is definitely, if but little, longer than the capsule. A 
study of the types may show that two species have been included under the one 
specific name.
