gasinan Province, Luzon), S. cwmingii Hassk. being a synonym. 
It is widely distributed in Luzon at low and medium altitudes.

DICHAPETALACEAE 
DICHAPETALUM Thouars 
Quilesia sericea Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 177 (gen. et sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
125; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 224=DIGCHAPETALUM SERICEUM (Blanco) 
comb. nov. (Chailletia benthamiana Turcz., Dichapetalum benthamia- 
num Engl.). 
Fernandez-Villar reduced this to Chailletia griffith Hook. f., 
a species that is not known from the Philippines and one to 
which Blanco’s description does not apply. The type of Turc- 
zaninow’s species was from Ilocos Norte Province, Luzon, and 
Blanco’s material was also from the Ilocano provinces. His 
description conforms entirely with Chailletia benthamiana 
Turez., and I have not the slightest hesitation in making the 
reductions here indicated. The species is known only from 
llocos Norte and Ilocos Sur Provinces, Luzon. 
Hlustrative specimen from Burgos, Ilocos Norte Province, 
November, 1916 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 991). 
Riana ? tricapsularis Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 850 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
126; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 225=DICHAPETALUM TRICAPSULARE (Blan- 
co) Merr. Govt. Lab. (Philip.) Publ. 35 (1906) 35. 
Fernandez-Villar reduced this to Chailletia helferiana Kurz., 
a species that does not extend to the Philippines. In making 
the transfer to Dichapetalum, I redescribed the species from 
specimens collected on Mount Mariveles, Bataan Province, Luzon. 
Blanco’s material was from Angat, Bulacan Province, Luzon, 
and his description agrees fairly well with the species as I haxe 
interpreted base 
EUPHORBIACEAE 
FLUGGEA Willdenow 
Cicca pentandra Blanco FI. Filip. (1887) 701 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 486; 
ed. 3, 3 (1879) 105=FLUGGEA VIROSA (Roxb.) Baill. (F. obovata 
(Willd.) Wall., F. microcarpa Bl.). 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines at low and medium altitudes, in thickets, more or less open 
country, etc., but not in the primeval forest. 
Illustrative specimen from near Mandaloyan, Rizal Province, 
Luzon, April 18, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 242).
