VERBENACEAE 
LANTANA Linnaeus 
Lantana viburnoides Blanco FI. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 345; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 275, 
t. 216, non Vahlk=LANTANA CAMARA Linn. 
The species is now abundant locally, mostly in and about 
towns in the Philippines, but is nowhere a pest as it is in the 
Hawaiian Islands. The inference from Blanco’s statement “Ar- 
busto oriundo de China, que se cultiva en Manila” is that the 
species was introduced shortly before the year 1845. 
Illustrative specimen from Manila, Luzon, October, 1913 
(Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 565). 
LIPPIA Linnaeus 
Verbena capitata Forsk.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 19; ed. 2 (1845) 14; ed. 
3, 1 (1877) 26=LIPPIA NODIFLORA (Linn.) Rich. 
A species very common and of wide distribution in the set- 
tled areas in the Philippines, possibly originating in tropical 
America. 
Illustrative specimen from Manila, Luzon, September, 1913 
(Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 452). 
CALLICARPA., Linnaeus 
Callicarpa americana Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 517; ed. 2 (1845) 360; ed. 
3, 2 (1878) 300, t. 427 bis, non Linn. =CALLICARPA BLANCO! Rolfe. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Phil- 
ippines at low altitudes, and is abundant in the vicinity of Ma- 
nila where it is locally known as tubang dalag, one of the native 
names cited by Blanco. The name is from tuba (Croton tig- 
lium) and dalag (a mud fish), the plant being used for stu- 
pefying fish. Callicarpa blancoi Rolfe presents considerable 
variation, but the illustrative material very definitely represents | = 
the species. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, — a 
October, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 637).
