PINUS Linnaeus 
Pinus taeda Blanco FI. Filip. (1887) 767; ed. 2 (1845) 528; ed..3, 3 (1879) 
169, t. 453, non Linn.=PINUS INSULARIS Endl. 
This species is widely distributed in the mountains of northern 
Luzon, its altitudinal range being from about 900 to 2,800 meters. 
Pinus insularis Endl. is certainly very closely allied to the Indian 
P. khasya Royle; in fact Shaw, The genus Pinus (1914) 60, 
places Royle’s species as a synonym of Pinus insularis Endl. 
Illustrative specimen from Benguet Subprovince, Luzon, May, 
1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 219). 
GNETACEAE 
GNETUM Linnaeus 
GNETUM GNEMON Linn.; Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 747; ed. 2 (1845) 514; 
ed. 3, 3 (1879) 147. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It 
occurs in forests at low altitudes throughout the Philippines. 
Illustrative specimen from Taytay, Palawan, May, 1913 (Mer- 
rill: Species Blancoanae No. 373). 
Thoa pendula Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 746 (sp. nov.)=Thoa edulis Willd.; 
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 514; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 146=GNETUM 
INDICUM (Lour.) Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. (1917) 77 (Abutua 
indica Lour., Gnetum latifolium Blume, G. philippinense Warb.). 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines at low and medium altitudes. The nomenclatural con- 
fusion in regard to this species is very great, but I consider the 
Philippine form to be the same as Abutua indica Lour. If the 
Philippine form really proves to be a distinct species, then 
Blanco’s Thoa pendula provides a specific name much earlier 
than that proposed by Warburg. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
January, 1914, there known as culiat (Merrill: Species Blan- 
coanae No. 249).

I have followed Graebner in the interpretation of this common, . 
low altitude Philippine form, but I also suspect that it is Typha : 
orientalis Pres], the type of which was Philippine, Cuming
