Phylianthus niruri Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 690, non Linn.=Phyllanthus 
tetrander Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 480; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 95, non 
Roxb.=PHYLLANTHUS BLANCOANUS Muell.-Arg. 
Phyllanthus blancoanus Muell.-Arg. was based only on Blanco’s 
description and must be typified by Blanco’s Phyllanthus nirure. 
For a discussion and redescription of the species see C. B. 
Robinson in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) Bot. 83. Phyllanthus 
blancoanus is known only from a few localities in central Luzon. 
Illustrative specimen from Bosoboso, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
November, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 160).

Kirganelia triandra Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 711 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
492; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 115=GLOCHIDION TRIANDRUM (Blanco) C. B. 
Rob. (Phyllanthus triandrus Muell.-Arg.; Glochidion eleutherostylum 
Muell.-Arg.). 
This species is widely distributed in the northern and central 
Philippines at low and medium altitudes. 
Illustrative specimen from Camarines Province, Luzon, De- 
cember, 1913 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 309). 
Kirganelia alba Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 713 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 494; 
ed. 3, 3 (1879) 117=GLOCHIDION ALBUM (Blanco) Boerl. 
Zarcoa philippica Llanos in Bot. Zeit. 15 (1857) 423 (gen. et sp. nov.) ; 
F.-Vill. & Naves in Blanco FI. Filip. ed. 3, 4* (1880) 102=GLOCHI- 
DION ALBUM (Blanco) Boerl. 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines and pre- 
sents considerable variation, especially in its pubescence. Blan- 
co’s description is the whole basis for Phyllanthus albus Muell.- 
Arg. Zarcoa philippica Llanos was reduced by Fernandez-Villar 
to Phyllanthus (Glochidion) philippinensis Muell.-Arg. var. glab- 
er Muell.-Arg. (=Glochidion philippicum C. B. Rob.). However, 
Llanos’s description does not at all apply to Glochidion philip- 
picum (Cav.) C. B. Rob., but does manifestly apply to Glochidion 
album (Blanco) Boerl. See Robinson in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 
(1909) Bot. 99. 
Illustrative specimen from Los Banos, Laguna Province, 
Luzon, comm. F. C. Gates, March, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blan- 
coanae No. 646).

It is locally abundant.
