134 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
familien, or in De Dalla Torre & Harms’s Genera Siphonoga- 
marum. Philippine specimens have been referred by. Vidal. to 
Champereia griffithiana Planch., but Gamble, Journ. As Soc. 
Beng. 75? (1912) 278, considers that the Malay Peninsula form 
is distinct from the Philippine one. Synonyms of Champereia 
manillana, the specific name dating from 1850, are Cansjera 
manillana Blume, Opilia cumingiana Baill., O. manillana Baill., 
and Champereia cumingiana Merr.; perhaps also Chamner eto 
grifithiana Planch. and C. griffithit Kurz.

OLACACEAE 
OLAX Linnaeus 
Fissilia psittacorum Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 28; ed. 2 (1845) 20; ed. 3, 
4 (1877) 38, t. 811, non Lam.=OLAX IMBRICATA Roxb. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the ‘Philip- 
pines at low altitudes.

January, 1914 (Mervill: Species Blancoanae No. 234). 
BALANOPHORACEAE 
BALANOPHORA Forster 
Cynomorium philippense Blanco FI. Filip. (1887) 665 (sp. nov.) ed. 2 
(1845) 464; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 722=BALANOPHORA sp. 
Blanco’s description almost certainly applies to some species 
of Balanophora, but beyond this I can suggest no reduc- 
tion of it. The description is confused, and the statement that 
it was found in salt water attached to the decaying roots of trees 
is probably erroneous. Blanco saw only dried specimens trans- 
mitted from Cebu and cited the native name capulao me | it. 
Fernandez-Villar suggested no reduction of it. 
ARISTOLOCHIACEAE 
ARISTOLOCHIA Linnaeus 
ARISTOLOCHIA SERICEA Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 283 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 
(1845) 198; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 350. 
Fernandez-Villar erroneously reduced this to Bragantia corym- 
bosa Griff., a species that does not extend to the Philippines, 
and one to which Blanco’s description does not at all apply. 
Aristolochia sericea Blanco is exactly the form described by 
Masters as Aristolochia imbricata Mast., for which Blanco’s 
name should be substituted. Cuming’s specimen, on which ‘
