same species, is of interest: ““This is sent named as Elytraria 
squamosa (Jacq.) Lindau in Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. 38. An 
error is involved both as to the plant and as to the name. Ver- 
bena squamosa Jacq. Hort. Schoenb. 1: 3, t. 5 has lanceolate- 
linear bracts and is Elytraria caulescens Nees in DC. Prodr. 
11: 63. Mangubat’s specimen has the bracts 3-toothed, very 
_ strongly so.”

THUNBERGIA Linnaeus f. 
Thunbergia subsagittata Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 518 (sp. nov.) =THUN- 
BERGIA FRAGRANS Roxb.; Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 360; ed. 3, 
2 (1878) 301. 
The species that Blanco described as new, Thunbergia subsag- 
ittata, in the first edition of his Flora de Filipinas, he correctly 
reduced in the second edition to the widely distributed and vari- 
able Thunbergia fragrans Roxb. It is common and widely dis- 
tributed in the settled areas of the Philippines at low and medium 
altitudes.

ROXBURGHII C. B. Clarke. 
This species is common in open grasslands, especially in 
fallow rice paddies in the vicinity of Manila, and is apparently — 
widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium alti- 
tudes. It was erroneously reduced by Fernandez-Villar to — 
Hygrophila undulata Blume. ue

This species is widely distributed in the Philippines at low — ie 
altitudes and presents considerable variation. Blanco’s de 
scription does not agree entirely with the illustrative material - - 
distributed herewith as the leaves are described by him as
