tion of the Flora de Filipinas only, and then as a nomen nudum 
in the index to native names under dalandon. I have no author- 
ity for the reduction to Tectona philippinensis Benth. & Hook. 
f. other than that of Fernandez-Villar Novis. App. (1880) 158, 
and as his specimens were from Mindanao there is reason to 
believe that he had an entirely different plant. Tectona phil- 
ippinensis Benth. & Hook. f. is known at the present time only 
from the Province of Batangas, three collections, and the native 
names appearing on the two recent collections are malamolauin 
and malapangit. The species is described in Philip. Journ. Sci. 
5 (1910) Bot. 227.

TECTONA GRANDIS Linn. f.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 130; ed. 2 (1845) 
92 (Tektona) ; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 170, t. 114. 
This species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. The cul- 
tivated tree, or a descendant of it, mentioned by Blanco as oc- 
curring in Tanay, Rizal, still exists there. It is known also in 
parts of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago, but whether native 
there, or introduced. is not certain.

PREMNA NAUSEOSA Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 489 (sp. nov.) =Premna 
integrifolia Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 342; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 268, 
t. 396 (as P. leucostoma Mig.), non Linn. 
Blanco’s description is very short and imperfect, but there is 
no reason to doubt that the species is valid, and that it has 
been correctly interpreted; Blanco erred in reducing P. nauseosa 
to P. integrifolia L. Fernandez-Villar erroneously reduced it 
to Premna mucronata Roxb., a species that is not known to extend 
to the Philippines. It is commonly known as molauin aso.

Premna odorata Blanco is identical with Premna vestita 
Schauer, but Blanco’s name is the older. Premna serratifolia 
Blanco, although very briefly characterized by Blanco, is mani-
