candelaria DC., under the name R. mangle, and not R. mucro- 
nata Lam., as evidenced by the expression “‘Flores en ntiimero de 
dos, sobre un pediinculo comun.” The species occurs throughout 
the Philippines along muddy shores and tidal streams especially 
on the outside of the mangrove, and is locally known as bacao or 
bacauan. 
Tilustrative specimen from Taytay, Palawan, May, 1913 (Mer-

CARALLIA Roxburgh 
Bruguiera nemorosa Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 275 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 3 
2 (1878) 147=CARALLIA INTEGERRIMA DC. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Phil- 
ippines, but is considered by King, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 66? 
(1877) 319, to be a synonym of the older Carallia lucida Roxb.

BRUGUIERA Lamarck 
Rhizophora tinctoria Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 394 (sp. nov.) =Rhizophora 
gymnorhiza Linn.; Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 276; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 
149=BRUGUIERA CONJUGATA (Linn.) Merr. in Philip. Journ. 
Sci. 9 (1914) Bot. 118 (Bruguiera gymnorhiza Lam.). 
The Linnean Rhizophora conjugata is the species usually 
called Bruguiera gymnorhiza (L.) Lam., but R. conjugata has 
priority ; see Merrill, 1. c., for a discussion of the synonymy. The 
species is found along tidal streams and muddy shores through- 
out the Philippines, and the present reduction of Blanco’s Rhizo- 
phora tinctoria is in agreement with Fernandez-Villar’s treat- 
ment and of Blanco’s own treatment of it in the second edition 
of his work. | 
Illustrative specimen from Lamao, Bataan Province, Luzon, 
March, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 899). 
Rhizophora polyandra Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 396 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
277; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 150, t. 415 bis—BRUGUIERA SEXANGULA 
(Lour.) Poir. (B. eriopetala W. & A.). 
Rhizophora plicata Blanco op. cit. 398 (sp. nov.) ; 279; AbR= BRUGHIERA 
SEXANGULA (Lour.) Poir. ( B. eriopetala W. & A.). 
Bruguiera sexangula (Lour.) Poir. is interpreted from the is 
description as being identical with B. eriopetala W. & A., but 
is the older name. The species is widely distributed in the 
Philippines along muddy seashores, tidal streams, etc., and is _ 
one of the constituent species of the mangrove swamps. It is 
not always readily distinguished from Bruguiera conjugata 
Merr. Blanco’s descriptions of both species cited above are short
