Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
January, 1914, there known as cadling parang, and occasionally 
still called taling-harap, the native name cited by Blanco (Merrill: 
Species Blancoanae No. 612).

This reduction follows Fernandez-Villar who, however, de- 
finitely referred it to R. Brown’s species. Blanco described it 
from specimens observed near the Guadalupe convent, near Ma- 
nila, where it appeared immediately following a fair, or a large 
gathering of the Chinese. A casual plant, probably of Chinese 
origin, now, however, not to be found in any region near Manila, 
and one that has so far been collected in the Archipelago only 
by Cuming. 
MENTHA Linnaeus

(1878) 246, non Linn. =MENTHA ARVENSIS Linn. 
This European mint, apparently introduced into the Philip- 
pines at an early date in colonial history, is found only in culti- 
vation in the Archipelago and rarely produces flowers here. 
It is universally known in the Philippines under its Spanish 
name, yerba buena.

This species yields patchouli of commerce as shown by Sir 
D. Prain, Kew Bull. (1908) 78. Synonyms are P. patchouly 
Pellet. (1845), P. suavis Ten. (1847), and P. patchouli Hook. 
(1849). It is commonly found in cultivation in the Philip- 
pines, but is never grown on a commercial seale; it frequently 
produces flowers in the Archipelago, but in other countries an- 
thesis is apparently decidedly rare. It has been found several 
times thoroughly established at considerable distances from set- 
tled areas, but there is little doubt that the species has been intro- 
duced into the Archipelago and is not a true native; see Merrill 
in Philip. Journ. Sci. 7 (1912) Bot. 345.
