Blanco identified his Philippine material with the West Indian 
Rubus jamaicensis Linn. in the first edition of his Flora de 
Filipinas, but in the second edition he described the same form 
as a new species, Rubus comintanus. The species is manifestly 
Rubus rosaefolius Sm., which is widely distributed in the Phil- 
ippines, extending from near sea level in some localities to an 
altitude of at least 1,800 meters.

Fernandez-Villar reduced this to Prunus triflora Roxb., which 
may or may not be the proper disposition of it, although it is 
certainly a Prunus. It was described from specimens cultivated 
in a garden in Manila, with the further statement that it was 
also cultivated in Cagayan Province, Luzon; Blanco supposed 
that it had been introduced from China.

in Luzon, extending southward to Leyte. Synonyms are Rourea 
multiflora Planch., Omphalobium obliquum Presl, Connarus obli- 
quus Walp., Connarus paniculatus F.-Vill. non Roxb., and C. 
monocarpus F.-Vill., non Linn. Cnestis erecta Blanco was er- 
roneously reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Connarus monocarpus 
Linn., and C. glabra to Connarus paniculatus Roxb.; neither 
Connaris monocarpus Linn., nor * paniculatus Roxb." occurs 1 gd 
the Philippines.
