350 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Illustrative specimen from Malabon, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
September, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 514). 
RADERMACHERA Hasskarl 
Millingtonia pinnata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 501 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 
351; ed. 38, 2 (1878) 285—=RADERMACHERA PINNATA (Blanco) 
Seem. 
Millingtonia quadripinnata Blanco op. cit. 501 (sp. nov) ; 351; 286, t. 252= 
RADERMACHERA PINNATA (Blanco) Seem. (Radermachera qua- 
dripinnata Seem.). 
Fernandez-Villar and others have retained Blanco’s two species 
as distinct, under Stercospermum pinnatum and S. quadripin- 
natum. In 1908 I reduced the latter to the former which has 
merely page priority in the original place of publication; I can 
see no reason for any change from the conclusions previously 
reached, Philip. Journ. Sci. 3 (1908) Bot. 336-338. Blanco’s 
Millingtonia pinnata was certainly based on imperfect, probably 
fragmentary, specimens. It is perhaps well to note again that 
the species never has pinnate or quadripinnate leaves, but either 
bi- or tripinnate ones. Its universal Tagalog name is banat- 
banat. It is widely distributed in Luzon and Mindoro at low 
and medium altitudes.

1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 834). 
OROXYLUM Ventenat 
Bignonia quadripinnata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 499 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 
(1845) 349; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 283, t. 219=OROXYLUM INDICUM 
(Linn.) Vent. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Phil- 
ippines at low and medium altitudes. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
November, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 125). 
CRESCENTIA Linnaeus 
Crescentia trifolia Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 489 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 343; 
ed. 3, 2 (1878) 271, t. 327=CRESCENTIA ALATA HBK. 
This Mexican species was introduced into Guam and into 
the Philippines by the Spaniards and still persists in cultiva- 
tion in both, although now very rare in the Philippines. The 
Philippine species deseribed by Blume, from. leaf specimens, = 
as Otophora ? paradoxa Bl. Rumphia 3 (1847) 146 is Crescentia 
alata HBK.
