368 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Pavetta filiformis Lianos Frag. Pl. Filip. (1851) 48 (sp. nov.); F.-Vill. 
& Naves in Blanco FI. Filip. ed. 3, 4* (1880) 35=IXORA sp. 
A species of wholly doubtful status, reduced by Fernandez- 
Villar to Ixora pendula Jack, a species that does not extend to 
the Philippines. The description is very indefinite, and if really 
an Izora, the species might be either of the very distinct I. philip- 
pinensis Merr., I. cumingiana Vid., or I. macrophylla Bartl. 
There is one objection to Jzora as the proper genus for Llanos’s 
species, in that he describes the plant as scandent, this applying 
to no Philippine species of Izora. Mr. C. de Candolle informs 
me that the species is not represented among the Llanos speci- 
mens in the de Candolle herbarium. 
GRUMILEA Gaertner 
Paederia tacpo Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 160 (sp. nov.); ed. 2 (1845) 113; 
ed. 8, 1 (1877) 202, t. 55=GRUMILEA LUGONIENSIS (C. & S.) Merr. 
(Psychotria luzoniensis F.-Vill. Coffea lugoniensis Cham. and Schlecht. 
Psychotria tacpo Rolfe, P. malayana F.-Vill., non Jack). 
This species is very common and widely distributed at low 
altitudes in the Philippines and is especially abundant in the 
provinces contiguous to Manila from which Blanco received ~ 
most of his material. 
Illustrative specimens from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
October, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 597); Manila, 
Luzon, December, 1914, here known as tacpo (Merrill: Species 
Blancoanae No. 560). 
PAEDERIA Linnaeus 
Paederia foetida Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 159; ed. 2 (1845) 112; ed. 3, 1 
(1877) 201, t. 54, non ? Linn.=PAEDERIA TOMENTOSA Blume. 
This species is common and widely distributed at low altitudes 
in the Philippines. It is a characteristic species of the settled 
areas. It is very closely allied to Paederia foetida Linn., and 
Blume’s species is perhaps not specifically distinct. When fresh, 
the crushed plant is decidedly foetid. 
Illustrative specimen from Pasig, Rizal Province, Luzon, No- _ 
vember, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 750). 
MORINDA Linnaeus 
Morinda litoralis Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 109 (sp. nov.); ed. 3, 1 
(1877) 197, t. 52=MORINDA CITRIFOLIA Linn. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines, but much less abundant than is Morinda bracteata Rosh. 
It is commonly known as bancudo. ee
