DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 
ZIZYPHUS DALANTA Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 121, ed. 3, 1 (1877) 
217; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 48; Merr. Sp. Blancoanae (1918) 
244, 
Rhamnus dalanta Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 171. 
The exact status of this species cannot be determined from Blanco’s 
very imperfect description; his specimens were from Bonbonon, southern 
Negros. The Bisayan name is given as dalanta, but this does not appear 
to be known in Bonbonan now.
