1. G. merrillii C. B. Rob. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) Bot. 100. 
In the upper pine region, altitude about 2,000 m, C. M. Z. 18146, and in the 
mossy forest, above an altitude of 2,500 m, CO. M. Z. 16147, 18122, 18133.

2. G. luzonense Elmer Leafl. Philip. Bot. 1 (1908) 301. 
On open grassy slopes, lower pine region, below an altitude of 1,500 m, C. M. Z. 
16075, 18190. . 
Known only from low and medium altitudes in central and northern Luzon. 
BREYNIA Forst.. 
1. B. rhamnoides (Retz.) Muell.-Arg. in DC. Prodr. 15? (1866) 440. 
Stream depressions, pine region, altitude about 1,500 m, @. M. Z, 18178. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes; India to 
southern China, and Malaya. 
BISCHOFIA Bi. 
1. B. javanica Bl. Bijdr. (1826) 1168. 
Stream depressions in the pine region, below an altitude of 1,300 m, C. M. Z. 
1821}. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes; India to 
southern China, Malaya, and Polynesia. 
The oldest valid specific name for this plant is Bischofia javanica Bl. The 
publication of Andrachne trifoliata Roxb.=Bischofia trifoliata Hook., dates from 
the year 1832, the earlier use of the name by Roxburgh, Hort. Beng. (1814), being 
only as a nomen nudum. 
BRIDELIA Willd. 
LB. sp. 
In stream depressions, pine region, altitude about 1,400 m, OC. M. Z. 18195. 
DAPHNIPHYLLUM Bl. 
1. D. glaucescens BI. Bijdr. (1826) 1153. 
Mossy forest, altitude above 2,200 m, 0. M. Z. 18151. 
This form is known in the Philippines only from the Benguet region, and I 
am not quite sure as to the specific identity of the Philippine form with Blume’s 
species. D. glaucescens Bl. is supposed to extend from the mountains of India to 
Ceylon to Java, Korea, and Japan.
