liolfe- makes it clear that the Philippini' llora has distinct connections 

 with that of the neighboring lands, hut, at llic time he wrott', compai'a- 

 tively little was known regarding this flora or that of the regions im- 

 mediately to the north and south. In the past twenty years much work 

 lias l)een done by various authoi's: 11)0.") has seen the completion of 

 Forbes and Hemsley's work on the Hora of China,'' and in 1898 Koorders 

 ])ublishc(l his compilation of that of Celebes.^ 



Ikolfe, in 1884, knew but three species common to tlic Philippines and 

 Celebes and confined to these two regions and only about sixteen which 

 he considered to represent northei-n or continental types; therefore it 

 has been thought advisable here to enumerate some of the more striking 

 representatives both of the southi'rn connection with Celebes and of the 

 northern one with Formosa, Japan, and the Asiatic Continent, especially 

 as Usteri," publishing as recently as the year 1905, has added nothing 

 to the twenty-year-old list of Eolfe. 



The list of s|)ecies confined to Cclcl)cs and the I'hilippines and c<mi- 

 mon to both has been extended from the three mentioned in 1S84 to 

 about sixty given below, while many others extending from the IMiilij)- 

 pines through Celebes to neighl)oring islands, tunc Ueeii eiiuiiurated. 

 'Hie list, so far as (V'lebi-s is concerned, is based largely on Koorders' 

 work, cited above. Koorders" remarks that the relationship between 

 the IMiilippine and Celebes tlora is very promiiuiit. but does not discuss 

 llie coiiiiections in detail. 



Ill the following tabk' the cross (-|-) indicates that the species is 

 found ill Luzon and Celebes and. unless noted to the contrary in the 

 last column, that it is known only from the two regions. The dash ( — ) 

 indicates that the l'hilip|)ine sjiecies is represented in Celebes by a 

 closelv relateil one or a \arietv. The (|iiestion mark indicates a I'liilip- 

 pine S})ecics doubtfulh' credited to Celebes by Koorders. \\ iiere the 

 range of the s])ecics is known to extend beyond Celebes, its distribution is 

 iziveii in the last column. Specimens of most of the species enuiiierated 

 are ill the herbarium of this P>ureaii.
