SCROPHULARIACEAE 847 
Legazpia triptera Blanco Fl. Filip, ed. 2 (1845) 339 (gen. et sp. nov.) ; ed. 
3, 2 (1878) 264=TORENIA POLYGONOIDES Benth. 
A species of wide distribution in the Philippines, generally 
found in forests at medium altitudes. The correctness of the 
reduction of Blanco’s genus and species, the type of which was 
from Laguna Province, Luzon, cannot be doubted. 
Illustrative specimen from Los Banos, Mount Maquiling, La- 
guna Province, Luzon, November, 1912 (Merrill: Species Blan- 
coanae No, 126). 
Mimulus violaceus Azaola ex Blanco F]. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 357 (sp. nov.) ; 
ed. 8, 2 (1878) 296=TORENIA PEDUNCULARIS Benth. 
The description is short and imperfect, but there is every 
reason to believe that Fernandez-Villar was correct in reducing 
it to the common and widely distributed Torenia peduncularis 
Benth. The species was described by Azaola, not by Blanco. 
LINDERNIA Allioni 
(Vandellia Linnaeus) 
Torenia paniculata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 486 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
339 (Toremia); ed. 3, 2 (1878) 265=LINDERNIA CRUSTACEA 
(Linn.) F. Muell. 
Fernandez-Villar retained Torenia paniculata Blanco as a valid 
species, probably following Bentham (DC. Prodr. 10: 411). 
While in certain particulars Blanco’s description does not fit 
Lindernia crustacea F.-Muell., I am convinced that this is the 
form that he intended by his description. The phrase, regard- 
ing the calyx, “con cerdas pequefias terminadas con globos,” 
should probably be translated as minute glandular-capitate hairs. 
This does not apply to Vandellia crustacea Benth. nor, so far 
as I know, to any other Philippine representative of this or 
allied genera, and the mistake is probably due to an error of 
observation or possibly to a mixture of specimens on the part of 
Blanco. Lindernia crustacea F.-Muell. is common and widely 
distributed throughout the settled areas of the Philippines. 
Illustrative specimen from Manila, Luzon, October, 1913 (Mer- 
rill: Species Blancoanae No. 563). |
