196 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
in Panay, and which Hallier f. has transferred to the genus — 
Sarcotheca, as Sarcotheca philippica Hallier f. Fernandez- 
Villar’s species is apparently a true Connaropsis (Sarcotheca), 
although I have as yet seen no Philippine representative of this 
genus; Blanco’s synonym is wrongly placed by him and must 
be excluded. 
Illustrative specimen from Umingan, Pangasinan Province, 
Luzon, May, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 406). 
ZYGOPHYLLACEAE 
TRIBULUS Linnaeus 
Tribulus lanuginosus Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 350; ed. 2 (1845) 245; ed. 
3, 2 (1878) 91, non Linn.=TRIBULUS CISTOIDES Linn. 
Blanco referred his specimen to Tribulus lanuginosus Linn. 
with doubt. The species is of very local occurrence in the Phil- 
ippines, growing in waste places in towns. It is the only 
representative of the family Zygophyllaceae known from the 
Philippines. Certainly an introduced weed in the Archipelago. 
Illustrative specimen from Parafiaque, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
October, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 64). 
RUTACEAE wis 
FAGARA Linnaeus 
Fagara piperita Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 64; ed. 2 (1845) 47; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 
87, non Linn. =? FAGARA RHETSA Roxb. 
This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Zanthoxylum 
oxyphyllum Edgw., a species that does not extend to the Phil- 
ippines. Blanco’s description is very imperfect, but the speci- 
mens distributed herewith undoubtedly illustrate the form he 
intended, although I am not at all sure that they are Fagara 
rhetsa Roxb. It is of wide distribution in the Philippines at 
low and medium altitudes. The native names cited by Blanco 
are of little value in making specific identifications in this case, — , 
as cayutana is a Tagalog name used in a generic sense for most 
species of Fagara (Zanthoxylum). 3 
- Tllustrative specimens from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, _ 
March, June, 1915, there known as cayutana (Merrill: Species 
Blancoanae Nos. 872, 961). 
Fagara pterota Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 66; ed. 2 (1845) 47; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 
88, non Linn.=FAGARA AVICENNAE Lam. 
Blanco’s description is very imperfect, and he gives no data 
by which his Fagara pterota can be distinguished from his F. | 
piperita. I suspect, however, that he intended as Fagara pterota
