FLACOURTIACEAE 275 
This species is common and widely distributed at low and 
medium altitudes in Luzon, in open places and thickets. It is 
commonly known as bitangol. 
Illustrative specimen from Balayan, Batangas Province, Lu- 
zon, August, 1914 there known as bitangol (Merrill: Species 
Blancoanae No. 99). 
CASEARIA Jacquin 
_/Anavinga fuliginosa Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 372 (sp. nov.) =CASEARIA 
FULIGINOSA Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 262 (comb. nov.) ; ed. 3, 2 
(1878) 123, t. 90. 
This is apparently a valid species and is widely distributed 
in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes. It was erro- 
neously reduced by Fernandez-Villar to the entirely different 
Casearia grewiaefolia Vent. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
March, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 860). 
Samyda trivalvis Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 374 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 263; 
ed. 8, 2 (1878) 124=CASEARIA TRIVALVIS (Blanco) comb. nov. 
[Casearia solida Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. (Philip.) 35 (1906) 46]. 
This species was erroneously reduced by Fernandez-Villar to 
Casearia fragilis Vent., a species of the Mascarene Islands, and 
one that does not extend to the Philippines. I can see no reason : 
for considering Samyda trivalvis Blanco to be other than the 
recently described Casearia solida Merr., and I accordingly here 
accept Blanco’s specific name for the form. Samyda trivalvis 
Blanco does not appear in Index Kewensis. 
Illustrative specimens from Mount Maquiling, Laguna Prov- 
ince, Luzon, March, 1915, comm. A. Villamil (Merrill: Species 
Blancoanae No. 893) ; Mount Mariveles, Bataan Province, Luzon, 
March, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 901). 
Samyda serrulata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 874, non Linn. =Samyda pubes-

CASEARIA CINEREA Turcz. 
Blanco’s species was reduced by Permandes Villard to Casearia 
tomentosa Roxb., a species that is not known from the Philip- 
pines. Casearia cinerea Turcz. has been reduced to C. grewiae- 
folia Vent. and is certainly very closely allied to that species if 
not identical with it. It is widely distributed in Luzon at low 
and medium altitudes. 
Illustrative specimen from Mount Batulao, Batangas Province, 
Luzon, February, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 821).
