Table sltovnny fioristic n:/.atioiisJilp hdween tlie Philippines and Celebes — Continued. 



Notes on the above table. — Dioscorea sp. nov. is tlie species enumerated by 

 Koorders as D. glabra Roxb., but wiiicli is a distinct undescribed one according 

 to Dr. Prain in lit. and which has also been foinid in the Philippines. Gle- 

 ditschia rolfei y id.; G. celebica Koord., is a synonym. Pterocarpus echinatus Pers. 

 (P. vidalianus Rolfe) is also known from Salajar Island, south of Celebes." 

 Wallaceodendron celebicum Koord., a monotypic genus, first found in Celebes and 

 later discovered in the central Philippines. Reinicardtiodendron merriUii Perk., 

 a genus of two species, one Celebes and one Pliilippine. Koordersiodendron 

 jnnnatuni (Blanco) Merr., a monotypic genus known from the Philippines, Celebes, 

 and New Guinea. Ciibiliu blancoi Blume, a monotypic genus known from Luzon, 

 Celebes, Boeroe, and Ceram, Cubilia rumphii Blume being a synonym. Anom- 

 panax philippinensis Harms., a genus comprising two species, one Celebes and 

 one Philippine. Vaccinium microphylhnn Blume, see page 221. 



Whereas the Celebes connections are very strikingly shown in the above 

 tal)le. the semi-temperate or continental element in the highlands of 

 northern Lnzon is nearly as prominent, as is shown Ijy the following one. 

 The latter undoubtedly is far from complete and therefore, when more 

 extensive collections are made and our present material has more 

 tlioroughly l)een worked over with reference to Asiatic tyjies and com- 

 pared with tliem, the numl)er of species will undoubtedly be greatly 

 enlarged. 



Tlie northern element in tlie Philippine flora. — In the following table, 

 as in the preceding, the cross (-(-) indicates that the species is found in 

 Luzon and in the region for which the sign is entered, whereas the 

 dash ( — ) means that the Philippine species is represented by a closely 

 related form in the region indicated, or, in the last coluiun, tliat the 

 general generic distril)ution is nortliern and not ^lalayan. Tbe majority
