‘ Oryza sativa quinanda Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 274 (var.-nov.); ed. 2 
(1845) 191; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 340, t. 102, right hand figure=ORYZA 
SATIVA Linn. eet 
This is merely one of the numerous cultural forms of the 
common rice plant; the natives of Batangas distinguish two 
forms under the name quinanda, quinanda puti (i. e. white) and 
quinanda pula (i. e. red). 
Illustrative specimens from Batangas Province, Luzon, Octo- 
ber 21, 1916 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 1015, quinanda 
puti; No. 1017, quinanda pula). 
Oryza sativa glutinosa Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 273 (var. nov.); ed. 2 
(1845) 190; ed. 8, 1 (1877) 339, t. 102, middle figure=ORYZA SA- 
TIVA Linn. 
A form with glutinous grains, when cooked. 
Illustrative specimen from Batangas Province, Luzon, October 
21, 1916 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 1037) locally known 
as malagkit. 
Oryza aristata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1887) 274 (var. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
190; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 8389=ORYZA SATIVA Linn. 
This is perhaps the most characteristic of all the varieties 
of the rice plant described by Blanco; it is distinguished by 
its long awns. It is commonly cultivated by the Ilocanos in 
northern Luzon. 
Illustrative specimen from Bauang, Union Province, Luzon, 
there known as saigurot, October 23, 1916 (Merrill: Species Blan- 
coanae No. 992). 
The remaining forms of rice, characterized and named by 
Blanco, are all cultural forms or varieties of Oryza sativa Linn. 
and should be reduced here. F.-Villar has attempted to inter- 
pret them some as forms of Oryza sativa Linn., others as repre- 
senting Oryza latifolia Desv., O. praecox Lour., and O. glutinosa 
Lour. The last two, as described by Loureiro, are certainly 
nothing but forms of Oryza sativa Linn., while Oryza latifolia 
Desv. is a species of tropical America, ‘totally different from 
any of the Indo-Malayan forms of Oryza. The forms indicated 
by Blanco, other than those listed above, are are: ous 
Oryza sativa binamban Blanco (var. hv.) Fl. Filip. (1837) 273; ed. 2 
(1845) 189 (binambang) ; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 388, t. 102, left hand ‘figure.

Oryza sativa violacea Blanco op. cit. 275 (var. nov.); 191; 343.
