242 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
As described with “hojas simples” it is no Arytera, but I am 
convinced that the description of the leaves as simple was an 
error on Blanco’s part; another objection to my identification 
is the length of the aril. The description of the fruits, how- 
ever, is excellent for Arytera: “Dos bayas ovales, pegadas por 
la base, y despues algo divergentes, comprimidas, con semillas 
solitarias, cubiertas con un arilo carnoso hasta el tercio de su 
largo * * * se abren a lo largo por la parte exterior, y 
estan pegadas hasta su mitad en donde se hallan los dos estilos 
muy cortos.” Arytera litoralis Bl. is common and widely dis- 
tributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes.

LEPIDOPETALUM Blume 
Molinaea arborea Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 292 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 204; 
ed. 3, 2 (1878) 18=LEPIDOPETALUM PERROTTETII (Cambess.) 
Blume (Cupania ? richti A. Gray, Lachnopetalum glabrum Turcz., 
Ratonia lachnopetala Turcz.). 
Blanco’s Molinaea arborea was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to 
Hemigyrosa canescens Thw., a species that does not extend to 
the Philippines, and one to which Blanco’s description does not 
apply. In my previous consideration of Blanco’s species I er- 
roneously referred it to Guioa perrottetii Radlk., chiefly for the 
reason that the native name salab, cited by Blanco, properly 
belongs to G. perrottetit Radlk. However, Blanco’s description 
does not apply to Radlkofer’s species, but does apply to Lepidope- 
talum perrottetii Blume. Again Guioa perrottetii does not occur 
in Parafiaque, while Lepidopetalum perrottetii is abundant along 
tidal streams in Parafiaque; its young leaves are notably red, 
as indicated by Blanco. In the provinces near Manila it flowers 
in January and February, and the inflorescences are borne on the 
branches among and below the leaves. 
Illustrative specimens from Parajiaque (one of the localities a 
cited by Blanco sub. Molinaea arborea), Rizal Province, Luzon, 
December, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 650) ; Batangas 
Province, Luzon, February, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae a < 
No. 876). 
DODONAEA Linnaeus 
Dodonaea angustifolia Linn. f.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 312; ed. 2 (1845) 
_ 217; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 40=DODONAEA VISCOSA (Linn.) Jacq. _ 
The plant that Blanco described is manifestly one of the forms 
of this widely distributed species. It is widely distributed in. 
the Archipelago, especially along the seashore, but extends inland
