Daphne aquilaria Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 310 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 216; 
ed. 3, 2 (1878) 39=WIKSTROEMIA INDICA (Linn.) C. A. Mey. 
(W. viridiflora C. A. Mey., Daphne cannabina Lour.). 
Fernandez-Villar reduced Blanco’s species to Wikstroemia 
ovata C. A. Mey., with which it has little in common; Vidal, 
however, states that Wikstroemia ovata F.-Vill., non Mey., is 
W. viridiflora Mey. Blanco’s description is an excellent one 
for this coastal shrub and applies unmistakably to Wikstroemia 
viridiflora Mey., which in turn is probably the same as W. indica 
(Linn.) Mey. The type of Daphne indica Linn. was from near 
Whampoa, southern China, but Meyer seems to have interpreted 
it largely from Polynesian specimens. 
Illustrative specimen from Burgos, Ilocos Sur Province, Lu- 
zon, near the seashore, November 23, 1916 (Merrill: Species 
Blancoanae No. 990). 
Daphne indica Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 309; ed. 2 (1845) 215; ed. 3, 2 
(1878) 38, non Linn.=WIKSTROEMIA OVATA C. A. Mey. 
Daphne foetida Blanco op. cit. 308 (phaetida) ; 214; 37, non Linn.=WIKS- 
TROEMIA OVATA C. A. Mey. 
Fernandez-Villar considered that Blanco correctly interpreted 
the Linnean Daphne indica=Wikstroemia indica Mey and re- 
‘duced to it Blanco’s Daphne foetida. Both of Blanco’s species, 
however, are manifestly Wikstroemia ovata Mey., a species based 
on Philippine material. 
Illustrative specimen from Bauang, Batangas Province, Luzon, 
February, 1915, there known as salago (Merrill: Species Blan- 
coanae No. 801). ;

ELAEAGNUS Linnaeus 
Elaeagnus angustifolia Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 74; ed. 2 (1845) 53; ed. 8, 
1 (1877) 100, non Linn. =ELAEAGNUS PHILIPPENSIS Perr. Mém. 
Soc. Linn. Paris 3 (1824) 114 (E. perrottetii Schlecht., E. cumingii 
Schlecht.). 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines at low 
altitudes; reduced by some authors to E. latifolia Linn. It is 
commonly known as alingaro. -

zon, May, 1914, comm. F. C. Gates and N. Catalan (Merrill:
