BUCHNERA Linn. 
1. B. urticifolia R. Br. Prodr. (1810) 437. 
In the pine region, altitude about 1,500 m, 0. M. Z. 16341, 
Rather widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes; 
northern and eastern Australia. 
ELLISIOPHYLLUM Maxim. 
1. E. pinnatum (Wall.) Makino in Bot. Mag. Tokyo 20 (1906) 91, pl. 5. 
In the mossy forest just below the lower limits of the upper grass lands; known 
in the Philippines only from high altitudes in the Benguet-Lepanto region. 
Mountains of India to China, Japan, and Formosa. 
This genus was originally placed by Maximowicz in the Polemoniaceae, but 
Bentham and Hooker transferred it to the Hydrophyllaceae, in which family it 
was retained by Engler and Prantl. Baillon, however, has shown that it really 
belongs in the Serophulariaceae, and this conclusion is upheld by Dr. A. Brand, 
who has recently studied the genus.”
