Tessaria redolens Less. was credited to Luzon in Linnaea 6 (8131) 151, 
the reference to Chamisso’s specimen being repeated in de Candolle’s Pro- 
dromus under Moneteles redolens DC. I do not see, from the descriptions 
available, how Gnaphalium redolens Forst. can be distinguished from the 
species more commonly known as Pterocaulon cylindrostachyum C. B. 
Clarke, and have accordingly accepted Pterocaulon redolens (Forst.) F.-Vill. 
as the proper name for the species, which is of local occurrence in the 
Philippines, growing in open dry places at low altitudes. This is one of 
the numerous transfers made by F.-Villar in the Novissima Appendix to 
the third edition of Blanco’s Flora de Filipinas that were overlooked by the 
compilers of Index Kewensis.
