MALVACEAE 251 
Illustrative specimen from Mount Maquiling, Laguna Province, 
Luzon, March, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 864). 
GREWIA SERRATA Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 444 (sp. nov.) =Columbia 
serratifolia Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 427; ed. 3, 2 (1879) 412, non 
DC. (Grewia ovata Merr.!). 
The form that Blanco described as Grewia serrata is unques- 
tionably identical with the one described by me in the year 1912 as 
Grewia ovata, and Blanco’s name should be retained for it. He 
erroneously reduced his species to Columbia serratifolia DC. in 
the second edition of his Flora de Filipinas, but it has nothing to 
do with the latter. His material was from Tala, Bulacan Prov- 
ince, Luzon, and his description conforms exactly with the char- 
- acters of Grewia ovata Merr. Fernandez-Villar erroneously 
reduced it to Grewia columnaris Sm., a species not known from 
the Philippines, while I previously thought that it might be the 
same as G. multiflora Juss. 
COLUMBIA Persoon 
Columbia anilao Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 654 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 426; 
ed. 8, 2 (1879) 412, t. 272=COLUMBIA SERRATIFOLIA (Cav.) DC. 
(C. americana Pers., Colona serratifolia Cav.). 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines and is commonly known as anilao, a name which is also 
applied to other species of the genus and to some species of 
Grewia. 
Illustrative specimen from Angat, Bulacan Province, Sep- 
tember, 1913 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 566). 
TRIUMFETTA Linnaeus 
Triumfetta semitriloba Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 406; ed. 2 (1845) 283; ed. 
3, 2 (1878) 161, non Linn.=TRIUMFETTA BARTRAMIA Linn. (T. 
rhomboidea Jacq.). 
This species is common and widely distributed at low altitudes 
in the Philippines, as an introduced weed. Blanco’s description 
manifestly applies to this species, which is much more abundant 
in the Philippines than is true Triumfetta semitriloba Linn. 
Illustrative specimen from Manila, Luzon, December, 1913 
(Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 271).
