362 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Blume does not extend to the Philippines. Blanco’s description 
applies in all essentials to the species described by Haviland as 
Nauclea media—Neonauclea media (Havil.) Merr., which is 
widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium alti- 
tudes. The time of flowering and native name agree with Blan- 
co’s data. 
Illustrative specimen from Batangas Province, Luzon, August, 
1914, there known as balod or valod (Merrill: Species Blancoanae 
No. 542). 
Sie NAUCLEA Linnaeus 
(Sarcocephalus Afzelius) 
Nauclea lutea Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 141 (sp. nov.) =Nauclea glaberrima 
Bartl.; Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 100; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 184, @ 15= 
NAUCLEA ORIENTALIS Linn. (Sarcocephalus cordatus Miq., S. gla- 
berrimus Migq., S. orientalis Merr.). 
The species Blanco described as Nauclea lutea in the first 
_ edition of his Flora de Filipinas he reduced to Nauclea glaber- 
rima Bartl., in the second edition, but if a distinct species is 
represented, then Blanco’s name has priority. Haviland has 
retained Sarcocephalus glaberrimus (Bartl.) Miq., as a species 
distinct from S. cordatus Miq.—Nauclea orientalis Linn. It is 
evident, from the examination of the literature bearing on the 
subject that Nauclea must be retained for those species now re- 
ferred to Sarcocephalus, while those species now classified as 
Nauclea must be called Neonauclea.* It is common:and widely 
distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes, the 
wood yellow; generally known in the Archipelago as banedl. 
Illustrative specimen from Umingan, Pangasinan Province, Lu- 
zon, May, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 408). 
MUSSAENDA Linnaeus 
Mussaenda frondosa Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 167 (fondosa) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
118; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 211, t. 58, non Linn. =MUSSAENDA PHILIPPICA 
Rich. (M. grandiflora Rolfe, non Benth.). 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines at low altitudes; perhaps identical with Mussaenda glabra 
Vahl. 
Illustrative specimen from Camarines Province, Luzon, Decem- 
ber, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 413).

Stigmanthus cymosus Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 117; ed. 3, 1 (1877)
