 A species apparently common along the sea shore, at least in the south- 

 ern Philippines, extending from Bengal to Australia, Polynesia, and the 

 Sandwich Islands. Burias Island (1733 Clark). Luzon, Province of Cama- 

 rines Sur (84 Ahern). Mindanao, District of Davao (230 DeVore and 

 Hoover ) ( 620 Copeland ) . 



EXCLUDED SPECIES. 



Cordia paniculata Roth. This species is credited to the Philippines by 

 F.-Villar.^ It is a synonym of Cordia myxa Linn., a species not known 

 from the Philippines, and the material cited by F.-Villar was undoubtedly 

 a form of Cordia blancoi Vidal. An accurate identification of the plant 

 F.-Villar had in mind when he credited this species to the Philippines is 

 quite impossible at the present time, as his herbarium has been destroyed. 

 The species should be excluded, or could be quite safely referred to Cordia 

 blancoi Vidal. F.-Villar's specimens were from Negros, the native name 

 Agut-ut being cited. This name appears on specimens of Cordia subcordata 

 Lam., in our herbarium.
