 localities in the Province of lloilo, Panay. So far as is known, the specimens 

 cited above are the only Philippine ones extant. Tropical shores id' America,

LUZON, Province of Penguet. Bagnio (5020 Elmer) March, 1004; (18 Topping) 



February, L903. An interesting addition to our knowledge of the Asiatic element 



in Hie Philippine flora, the species having previously been known from the 



mountains of British India, Java, China, and Japan. No. 5029 Elmer has been 



examined by Schneider, who has recently monographed the genus Berberis?" and 



who verities the above identification, although stating that in the absence of 



Rowers the determination can not be absolutely certain. Topping's specimen is 



with flowers, and offers no characters by which I am able to distinguish the 



Philippine form from the above species.
