12 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
authors. A large number of them refer to species that were 
unknown to Blanco or at least to those that were not described 
by him. 
A very high percentage of the species figured are common 
and well-known ones of wide geographic distribution and include 
many of the common weeds and the various cultivated species, 
including the commonly cultivated ornamentals, some of which 
were introduced into the Philippines after Blanco’s time. No 
attempt was made to select the endemic species in the prepara- 
tion of the plates nor to confine the illustrations to those species 
not previously figured by other authors; but about 80 of the 
total of 473 species figured or less than 17 per cent, represent 
endemic species. In general the illustrations are good, but a 
few are unrecognizable with certainty beyond the genus. In 
some cases the color selections are very faulty. The detail draw- 
ings are usually insufficient, and many are poorly executed. 
In order to make the present work more completely a key 
to the Flora de Filipinas, I give below a list of the plates of 
the third edition that do not pertain to species actually de- 
scribed by Blanco; those illustrating forms described by Blanco 
or by Llanos are listed in the following critical discussion of 
their species. For convenience the sequence follows the system- 
atic list after the Bentham and Hooker arrangement as published 
by Fernandez-Villar.

“In this list the names originally assigned by Naves to ae plates are 
utilized when they are the correct ones. In other cases, where Naves’s | 
identification was wrong or when the name used by him has been discarded _ 
for one reason or another, the correct name is given first, with Naves’s e 
original name in parenthesis. :
