CRYPTERONIA Blume 
Quilamum tuteum Blanco Fi. Filip. (1837) 851 (gen. et sp. nov.); ed. 2 
(1845) 186; ed. 8, 1 (1877) 245=CRYPTERONIA PANICULATA 
Blume (C. lutea Blume). 
This species is widely distributed in Luzon at low and medium 
altitudes. Blanco’s type was manifestly the pistillate form of 
the species, “filam. del largo del caliz.”” The form distributed 
under number 330, below, is the staminate one.

PUNICA Linnaeus 
PUNICA GRANATUM Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 422; ed. 2 (1845) 
295; ed. 8, 2 (1878) 184, t¢. 211. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It 
-is generally cultivated on a small scale and will probably be found 
- in most towns in the Philippines. It is universally known by 
its Spanish name, granada, and was certainly introduced by 
the Spaniards. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Evowines, Luzon, 
January, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 783). 
LECYTHIDACEAE 
BARRINGTONIA Linnaeus 
> Barringtonia speciosa Forst.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 533; ed. 2 (1845) 
a ed. 3, 2 (1879) 325, t. 305=BARRINGTONIA ASIATICA (Linn.) 
urz. 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines along 
the seashore, but does not occur inland. The type of Mammea 
asiatica Linn. Sp. Pl. (1753) 512 was a Javan specimen, collected 
by Osbeck, and the original description certainly applies to the 
plant usually called Barringtonia speciosa Forst. It is commonly 
known as botong. 
Illustrative specimen from the seashore, Pasay, Rizal Prov- 
ince, Luzon, January, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No.
