296 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
UMBELLIFERAE 
CENTELLA Linnaeus 
Hydrocotyle asiatica Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) ‘212; ed. 2 (1845) 
149; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 268=CENTELLA ASIATICA (Linn.) Urban. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It 
is very widely distributed in the settled areas of the Philippines, 
but is presumably an introduced plant. It is commonly known 
as taquip cohol. 
Illustrative specimen from Taytay, Palawan, May, 1913 (Mer- 
ril: Species Blancoanae No. 574). 
FOENICULUM Linnaeus 
Anethum foeniculum Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 214; ed. 2 (1845) 
150; ed. 8, 1 (1877) 270=FOENICULUM VULGARE Gaertn. 
This reduction was made by Fernandez-Villar, and it is cer- 
tainly the correct disposition of the form that Blanco described, 
he having interpreted the Linnean species correctly. The plant 
is very rarely found in cultivation in the Philippines to-day, 
occasionally a plant here and another there. It is now com- 
monly known as anis. 
CARUM Linnaeus 
Ammi glaucifolium Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 218, non Linn.=Daucus aniso- 
dorus Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 150 (sp. nov.); ed. 8, 1 (1877) 
269=CARUM COPTICUM Benth. 
Carum copticum Benth. seems to be the correct disposition 
of the form Blanco described. The species is of very local 
occurrence in the Philippines and is found only in cultivation. 
The native names cited by Blanco are damoro and lamudio and 
are still in use for this species. 
Illustrative specimen from plants grown in Manila, the seeds 
of which were secured in Batangas Province, Luzon, June, 1917 
(Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 1027).
