LABIATAE 339 
is of interest as it is the type of the genus Coleus. It is generally 
known under the Tagalog name suganda, and under the Spanish 
names orégano and clavo. 
Illustrative specimen from Maragondong, Cavite Province, 
Luzon, July, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 129). 
Coleus grandifolius Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 482 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
336; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 258, t. 208, non Benth.=COLEUS BLUMEI Benth. 
This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Coleus acumi- 
natus Benth., which was based on Philippine specimens, but 
which is manifestly specifically distinct from the form Blanco 
described. The cultivated form with leaves uniformly brownish- 
purple is the one Blanco described: “Las hojas * * * son 
de color hermoso morado obscuro,” and this form is still quite 
generally found in cultivation, never wild, in the Philippines; 
it is universally known to the Tagalogs as mayanda.

COLEUS PUMILUS Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 482 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
336; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 257 (C. gaudichaudti Briq.). 
This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Coleus acwmi- 
natus Benth., but the form that Blanco described is entirely 
different from that of Bentham. Coleus gaudichaudii Briq. in 
Ann. Conserv. Jard. Bot. Genéve 2 (1898) 237, the type of which 
was from the Philippines, is the same as Blanco’s species. Coleus 
pumilus Blanco is common on ledges and boulders in thickets 
near the Barrio of Pineda, Pasig, and is also occasionally cul- 
tivated in Manila; Blanco states that this species was common 
in Pasig. This is the only species of Coleus that is spontaneous 
within many kilometers of Manila; most of the species found in 
the Philippines are from the mossy forests on the medium and 
higher mountains.

MOSCHOSMA Reichenbach 
Ocimum tenuiflorum Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 481 (Ocymum) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
335; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 255, non Linn. =MOSCHOSMA POLYSTACHYUM 
(Linn.) Benth. 
Ocimum. tenuiflorum Blanco is the same as Burman’s species 
of this name, but not of Linnaeus. The species is widely dis- 
tributed in the settled areas of the Philippines at low altitudes 
but is nowhere abundant.
