TAGETES Linnaeus 
o4 TAGETES PATULA Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 682; ed. 2 (1845) 440; 
ed. 3, 3 (1879) 28, ¢. "104 bis (as T. erecta Linn.). 
The Linnean species seems to have been correctly interpreted 
by Blanco. It is cultivated throughout the Archipelago for orna- 
mental purposes and is thoroughly naturalized in valleys in some 
parts of Benguet Subprovince above an altitude of 600 meters. 
Its common name is amarillo. 
Illustrative specimen from Manila, Luzon, October, 1914 (Mer- 
rill: Species Blancoanae No. 69). 
CHRYSANTHEMUM Linnaeus 
Matricaria chamomilla Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 631; ed. 2 (1845) 440; ed. 
3, 3 (1879) 22, t. 290, non Linn.=CHRYSANTHEMUM INDICUM 
Linn. 
This species is commonly found in cultivation in the settled 
areas of the Philippines but is not spontaneous. It is univer- 
sally known as manzanilla. It was probably introduced by the 
Spaniards. 
Illustrative specimen from Camarines Province, Luzon, De- 
cember, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 307). 
Pyrethrum sinense DC.; Llanos Frag. Pl. Filip. (1851) 92; F.-Vill. & Naves 
in Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 3, 4% (1880) 70=CHRYSANTHEMUM SI- 
NENSE Sabine. 
This form, briefly mentioned by Llanos, is the one occasionally 
found in cultivation in the Philippines, the flowers white to 
purplish. A very depauperate form of the commonly cultivated 
Chrysanthemum sinense Sabine. 
ARTEMISIA Linnaeus 
ARTEMISIA VULGARIS Linn.; Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 625; ed. 2 (1845) 
435; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 14, t. 329. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It 
is not upcommon in cultivation in and about towns at low alti- 
tudes and is frequently found growing spontaneously at medium 
altitudes. It is quite generally known as damong maria and was 
undoubtedly introduced into the Philippines by the Spaniards. 
Hlustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
January, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 800).
