PHILIPPINE BOTANICAL LITERATURE, V. 683 



no further stops in the Philippines, visited the Moluccas and other islands 

 as far as New Guinea, and was again in Mauritius by June 4. 



With the doubtful exception of Menichea rozata, no specific names were 

 originated in this work, but several plants were figured and described, a 

 majority of them Philippine. Those figured from this Archipelago are "le 

 roucou" pi. 13, Bixa orellana L.; "la sapotte negro" pi. U f -16, Dioapyroa 

 ebenastcr Rctz.; "la bergkias," pi. 11, 18, which he believed to be only an 

 introduced plant in the Philippines, a species of Gardenia, referred by De- 

 Candolle to G. thunbcrgiana L. f., somewhat resembling G. longiflora Vidal, 

 but not agreeing exactly with any recent collections; "la pandacaqui," pi. 

 19, Tabernacmonlana pandacaqui Poir.. subsequently described from Soii- 

 nerat's collections, and erroneously localized as from New Guinea; "le rima 

 ou fruit a pain," pi. 57-60, Artocarpus rima Blanco, usually reduced to 

 A communis Forst.; "le cacao." pi. 61, 62, Thcobroma cacao L.; "le petil 

 citron doux," pi. 63, Triphasia irifoliala (L.) DC; "la houette," pi. DO, 91. 

 Ceiba pcntandra (L.) Gaertn., here said to be native; "la menichea rozata." 

 pi. 92, 93, on which Butonica rosata Miers was in part based, Barringtonut 

 racemosa (L.) Roxb. ; "la manssanas," pi. 9.',, Zizyphus jujuba L. Two other 

 Philippine plants are figured from collections made before his arrival in 

 the Islands, "la pagatpate," pi. 10, 11, Xonncratia caseolaris (L.) Engl., and 

 "le bonet quarre ou la Commercona," pi. S, 9, Barringtonia asiatica (L.) 

 Kurz. Reference is made on page 196 to the introduction into Mauritius 

 in 17G8 by Prevost of the nutmeg, afterwards described from Sonnerat's 

 collections as Myristica philippcnsis Lam., Mauritius afterwards serving as 

 a centre of distribution for this species into other tropical countries. 



Many of his collections subsequently formed a part of Commerson's her- 

 barium, and have occasionally been credited to the latter, who never visited 

 the Philippines, being prevented by unfavorable conditions on the occasion 

 of his chief attempt. (G. B. Robinson.)

This work is more or less supplementary to the preceding and only pages 

 104-119 of the second volume relate to the Philippines. No further description 

 is given of species from the Archipelago, but there are interesting notes on the 

 cultivation of many important plant products. He appears to have made 

 but the one visit. (C. B. Robinson.)
