Kyrtandra serrata Blanco, excluded from the second edition, 
is a doubtful species on account of its very short description, 
but was probably correctly reduced to Bonnaya veronicaefolia 
Spreng.—Ilysanthes antipoda (Linn.) Merr. by Fernandez- 
Villar; I know of no other species growing near Manila to which 
Blanco’s description applies, his material being from Malinta, 
a few miles north of Manila. Kyrtandra capsularis Blanco= 
Cyrtandra glaberrima Blanco is certainly identical with Ilysan- 
thes antipoda (Linn.) Merr. The species is common and widely 
distributed in the open country, old rice paddies, etc., in the 
Philippines. Blanco’s description of Kyrtandra capsularis typ- 
ifies Didymocarpus? blancoi Hassk. in Flora 47 (1864) 55.

SCOPARIA Linnaeus 
Scoparia dulcis Linn.; Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 55; ed. 2 (1845) 37; ed. 
8, 1 (1877) 69, t. 19. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. 
It is very common and widely distributed in the settled areas 
in the Philippines. Introduced from Mexico at an early date 
in colonial history. |

BIGNONIACEAE 
DOLICHANDRONE Fenzl 
Bignonia spathacea Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 499=Spathodea luzo- 
nica Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 350 (sp. nov.); ed. 3, 2 (1878) 284, 
- ¢, 242—DOLICHANDRONE SPATHACEA (Linn.) K. Sch. (D. rheedii 
Seem.). . . 
Blanco correctly interpreted the Linnean species in the first 
edition of his Flora de Filipinas, but in the second edition de- 
seribed the plant as a new species. It is found along tidal 
streams throughout the Philippines and is generally known 
as tue. .
