num marianum DC., but is apparently distinct. It is widely 
distributed in the Philippines at low altitudes. 
Illustrative specimen from Umingan, Pangasinan Province, 
Luzon, May, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 87). 
Nyctanthes sambac Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 9; ed. 2 (1845) 6; ed. 
3, 1 (1877) 12, t 6=JASMINUM SAMBAC (Linn.) Ait. 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines in culti- 
vation and is universally known in the Archipelago as sampa- 
guita. Not naturalized and certainly a purposely introduced 
species. Blanco’s description typifies Jasminum blancoi Hassk.

SALVADORACEAE 
AZIMA Lamarck 
) Azima nova Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 68; ed. 2 (1845) 49; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 
91, non Gmel.=AZIMA SARMENTOSA Benth. 
This may prove to be identical with the older Azima tetra- 
cantha Lam., a point that I am unable to determine at present. 
The species is locally abundant in dry thickets near tidal streams 
in the vicinity of Manila, and when fresh the crushed plant has 
a peculiar, offensive odor suggestive of that of the civet cat.

LOGANIACEAE 
-GENIOSTOMA Forster 
Tayotum nigrescens Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 105 (gen. et sp. nov.) ; ed. 
2 (1845) 76; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 141=GENIOSTOMA NIGRESCENS 
(Blanco) comb. nov. (G. philippinense Merr.). 
This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Norrisia 
malaccensis Gardn. of the Malay Peninsula and Borneo, to which 
Blanco’s description does not at all apply. There is no doubt, 
however, that Tayotum is identical with Geniostoma, and that 
Tayotum nigrescens Blanco is the species described by me as 
Geniostoma philippinense. The illustrative material distributed 
herewith, while apparently a form of Geniostoma philippinense 
Merr., differs from the type and from Blanco’s description in 
having its leaves nearly or quite glabrous.
