Carmona heterophylla Cav.; Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 209 (Carmonea) ; 
ed. 2 (1845) 147; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 265, t. 72=EHRETIA MICRO- 
PHYLLA Lam. (E. buwifolia Roxb.). 
Carmona heterophylla Cav. is the type of the genus Carmona 
and was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It is, however, an 
exact synonym of Ehretia microphylla Lam. It is common and 
widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium al- 
titudes in the settled areas. 
Iilustrative specimen from Guinayangan, Tayabas Province,

Ehretia virgata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 127; ed. 2 (1845) 90; ed. 3, 1 
(1877) 165, non Sw.=EHRETIA ACUMINATA R. Br. (E. polyantha 
A. DC., E. onava A. DC.). 
Blanco’s Ehretia virgata is the same as Ehretia acuminata 
R. Br., sensu latiore, although the Philippine specimens differ 
distinctly from Australian material. It is absolutely the same 
as Ehretia polyantha A. DC., the type of which was from Luzon, 
while Ehretia onava A. DC. is based solely on Blanco’s descrip- 
tion and is merely a new name for Ehretia virgata Blanco, 
non Sw.
