POLYGALACEAE 
POLYGALA Linnaeus 
Polygala monspeliaca Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 557, ed. 2 (1845) 388 (mons- 
pelica); ed. 3, 2 (1879) 350, non Linn.=POLYGALA CHINENSIS © 
Linn. var. LINEARIFOLIA (Willd.) Chod. 
This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Polygala 
telephioides Willd., but is manifestly the form described by 
Willdenow from Pillinsiie material as Polygala linearifolia, 
and which Chodat has reduced to Polygala chinensis Linn. as 
a variety. It is the only species of the genus found near Manila, 
Blanco’s specimens being from Mandaloyan which is practically 
a suburb of Manila. Not common, but widely distributed in 
the Philippines at low and medium altitudes. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
October, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 473). 
SALOMONIA Loureiro 
Amorpha pedalis Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 553 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 387; 
ed. 8, 2 (1879) 348=SALOMONIA CILIATA (L.) DC. (S. oblongifolia 
DC.!, S..ramosissima Turez.!). 
Trimen (FI. Ceyl. 1: 83) calls attention to the fact that Poly- 
gala ciliata Linn., the type of which he has examined in Her- 
mann’s herbarium, is the form that was later described by de 
Candolle as Salomonia oblongifolia DC. The Linnean species is 
based on a single reference, Fl. Zeyl. no. 268, which in turn is 
based only on Hermann’s specimen. 
Illustrative specimen from Angat, Bulacan Province, ee, 
September, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 332).
