404 ROBINSON. 



14. Legnotis lanceolata ed. 1 445. 

 Metrosideros piclipetala ed. 2 295. 



If this is any species represented by recent collections, it is most probably 

 Decaspermum paniculatum. 



15, Melaleuca grandiflora ed. 1 015. 

 Bombax ceiba ed. 2 372. 



The second identification is correct. 



The following were credited to the Philippines by Fernande/.-Yilhir in the 

 Novissima Appendix, but have not been exactly matched in recent collections. 



Baeckea frutescens Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 358. 



This was credited on the authority of previous authors, who did so by wrongly 

 localizing Cuming 2269, the type of B. cumingiana Schauer. Villar says that he 

 bad not seen it: Cuming 2269 came from Malacca. To be excluded. 



Mi i.aleuca leucadendkon Linn. Alant. (1767) 105. 



Reported as cultivated in Manila: by others its range has been extended to 

 the Philippines, through another wrong localization, Cuming 2272, the type of 

 M. cumingiana, generally reduced to M. leucadendron, being also from Malacca. 



Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Voy. 1 (1799) 153, pi. IS. 



Credited as cultivated: none of the eucalypti at present in cultivation here 

 seem to be this species. 



Metrosideros vera Lindl. Collec. Bot. (1821) pi. 18. 



Credited merely as the identification of M. pictipetala (see above), Villar 

 saying that he had not seen it. It is possible that some of our sterile material 

 may be of this species, but the probabilities are otherwise. 



Riiodamnta tiunervia Blume Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 1 (1851) 79. 

 A third case where others had credited a Cuming plant from Malacca to the 

 Philippines: Villar, again, had not seen it. 



Decaspermum ruhrum Baill. Hist. PI. 6: 341. 

 Xclitris rubra Blume Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 1 (1851) 73. 



A wrong identification of Myrtus communis Blanco (Decaspermum blonooi 

 Vidal).
