RAMOSIOR (Linn.) Koehne. 
Blenco’s species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Ammania 
peploides Spreng.—Rotala indica Koehne, and this reduction I 
considered as apparently correct in my previous paper on Blan- 
co’s species. However, Blanco’s description does not apply to 
Rotala indica Koehne, but does apply to R. ramosior Koehne; 
both species are not uncommon in open wet places about Manila 
and both are widely distributed in the Philippines. Ammannia 
pentandra Llanos was considered by Fernandez-Villar to be the 
same as A. pentandra Roxb.=Rotala leptopetala Koehne. 1 con- 
sider it, however, to be the same as Rotala ramosior Koehne. 
Rotala ramosior Koehne was undoubtedly introduced into the 
Philippines from Mexico through the medium of the Acapulco- 
Manila galleons.

I can see no reason for considering that any of the descrip- 
tions listed above apply to other than the common and widely 
distributed Ammannia baccifera Linnaeus, which is a very com- 
mon weed in low wet lands in the Philippines. The first two 
reductions follow Fernandez-Villar, but he considered Amman- 
nia octandra Llanos to represent the Linnean species.
