162 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Bursaria inermis Azaola in Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 124 (sp. nov.) ; 
ed. 3, 1 (1877) 222=PITTOSPORUM PENTANDRUM (Blanco) Merr. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines, especially in thickets and in second-growth forests. It : 
is very widely known by its Tagalog name mamalis, cited by 4 
Blanco. Gagnepain, Journ de Bot. (1908) 226, considers Pittos- d 
porum brachysepalum Turcz., which I reduced to Blanco’s species, 
to represent a distinct form. I consider this species to be also 
the most likely reduction of Azaola’s species which Fernandez- 
Villar reduced to Pittosporum ferrugineum Ait., one that is not 
known to extend to the Philippines. Azaola’s description is 
very short and imperfect and, it must be confessed, does not 
apply in all characters.

ROSACEAE 
PARINARIUM Aublet 
Alamag Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 550; ed. 2 (1845) 369; ed. 3, 2 (1879) 
319=PARINARIUM CORYMBOSUM (Blume) Miq. (P. salicifotinm 
Presl, P. griffithianum Benth.). 
Pasac Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 848; ed. 2 (1845) 586; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 270= 
? PARINARIUM CORYMBOSUM (Blume) Mig. 
Blanco’s descriptions of both Alamag and Pasac are Geper tod! 
but the former manifestly applies to Parinarium corymbosum 
Miq., which is common and widely distributed in the Philippines; 
its nearly universal Tagalog name to-day is liusin, which Blanco 
gives as luyusin. The description of Pasae does not apply. so 
well, but this reduction is reasonably certain. It is perhaps 
unnecessary to record here that Blanco manifestly did not intend 
Alamag and Pasac as new genera, but simply described. the 
species under the native names, being unable to refer the plants 
to their proper genera or to their proper places in the Linnean 
system.

RUBUS Linnaeus 
RUBUS MOLUCCANUS Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 428; ed. 2 (1845) 
298; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 190, t. 393. 
The Linnean species was certainly correctly interpreted by 
Blanco. It is common and widely distributed in the Philippines 
at medium and higher altitudes, ascending to at least an altitude 
of 1,800 meters. ,
