ULMACEAE 121 
Prodr: 16? (1864) 97 is merely a new name for Quercus glabra 
Blanco, non Thunb., and is hence a synonym of Quercus ovalis 
Blanco; Quercus ovalis Blanco of the second edition of the Flora 
de Filipinas is merely a new name for Q. giabra of the first. 
Illustrative specimen (a topotype) from Angat, Bulacan Prov- 
ince, Luzon, December, there known as macabingao (Merrill: 
Species Blancoanae No. 704). 
Quercus molucca Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 726, non Linn.= Quercus concen- 
trica Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 502; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 129, t. 441 (as 
Q. costata, non Blume) non Lour.=QUERCUS SOLERIANA Vid. Rev. 
Pl. Vase. Filip. (1886) 261. 
This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Quercus 
lianosii A. DC., but Blanco’s description applies better to the 
form described by Vidal as Quercus soleriana, the most common 
and most widely distributed species of the genus in the 
Philippines. 
Illustrative specimen from near Antipolo, Rizal Province, 
Luzon, October, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 538). 
QUERCUS COOPERTA Blanco FI. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 503 (sp. nov.); ed 
3, 3 (1879) 130. 
Fernandez-Villar reduced this to Castanopsis costata A. DC., 
where it certainly does not belong. I strongly suspect that 
Quercus fernandezii Vid. is identical with Q. cooperta Blanco, 
but its exact status is still somewhat doubtful owing to lack of 
good material representing it. I can see no reason for substitut- 
ing Vidal’s later name, fernandezii, for Blanco’s much earlier 
one, cooperta. Castanea cooperta Oerst., based wholly on Blan- 
co’s species, is a Synonym.

This was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Castanopsis javanica: 
A. DC., for which there is not the slightest justification. Blanco 
gave only a very short and imperfect description of a single 
fruit, from which it is quite impossible to determine what species 
he may have had before him. The reference of Philippine mate- 
rial to a Mediterranean species is a good illustration of Blanco’s 
lack of knowledge of the principles of geographic distribution 
of plants.
