394 MERRILL AND MERRITT. 
DICHROCEPHALA DC. 
1. D. latifolia (Lam.) DC. Prodr. 5 (1836) 372. 
Upper pine region, extending to the lower limits of the mossy forest, C. M. Z. 
16178, Merrill 6583. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at medium and higher altitudes; trop- 
ical and subtropical Asia and Africa. 
2. D. chrysanthemifolia (Bl.) DC. in Wight Contrib. (1834) 11; Prodr. 5 
(1836) 372. 
. Upper pine region, Merrill 6522. 
Known from the Philippines only from high altitudes in the Benguet-Lepanto 
region; about the same extra-Philippine range as the preceding species. 
MYRIACTIS Less. 
1. M. humilis Merr, in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 244. 
In the mossy forest, Merrill 6509, and at base of cliffs in the summit grass 
lands, C. M. Z. 16114. 
Higher mountains of the Benguet-Lepanto region, also on Mount Banajao, 
Province of Tayabas, Luzon; endemic. 
ASTER Linn. 
1. A. trinervius Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 61, nomen, FI, Ind. 3 (1882) 433; 
Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 3 (1881) 252. 
In the pine region, altitude about 1,500 m, O. M. Z. 16122. 
Central and western Himalaya, Khasia Mountains, China, and Japan; not 
previously reported from the Philippines. 
The number cited above, so far as our mounted specimen goes, agrees closely 
with Roxburgh’s species as interpreted by Hooker f.; some of the duplicates distrib- 
uted under this number may have been referable to Aster philippinensis Moore, 
a quite different endemic species. 
ERIGERON Linn. 
1. E. linifolius Willd. Sp. Pl. 3 (1800) 1955. 
Common in the pine region, C. M. Z. 16108, 16119, Merrill 6515. 
Common and widely distributed in the Philippines; a native of the Mediter- 
ranean region, now widely distributed in subtropical and tropical parts of the | 
world. 
CONYZA Less. 
1. C. japonica (Thunb.) Less. Syn. Comp. (1832) 204. 
Upper pine region, Merrill 6540. 
In the Philippines known only from higher altitudes of the Benguet-Lepanto 
region; Afghanistan to Japan, southward to Malaya. 
2. C. viscidula Wall. Cat. (1828) no. 3006; DC. Prodr. 5 (1836) 383. 
In the pine region, altitude about 1,400 m, C. M. Z. 16336. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes, but not 
common; India to Java, New Caledonia, and Australia. 
BLUMEA DC. 
1. B. appendiculata (Bl.) DC? Prodr. 5 (1836) 447. 
Upper pine region, C. M. Z. 18116, and in the lower mossy forest, Merrill 6511. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at medium and higher altitudes, but not 
common; Java.
