Rubus L. 

 1 Rulms tVaxiiiifolius Poir. 



Mindoro Isl., Baco River (Merrill no. 999, with trait April 1. 

 1903). 



2. Rul)us ]*[oluefaiiiis L. 



Luzon Isl., Prov.Rizal, Antipole (Merrill no. 1048, March 1903); 

 Prov. Niieva Visoaya, Caraballo 8ur, near Dupax (Merrill no. 221 

 May 28. 1902). 



Parinarium Aubl. 

 1. Pjiriiiniium Griffitliinmiiii Benth. 



North Luzon, Malunu (Warisuro no. 11581); Prov. Tayabas, 

 Sarapaloc (WARBUR(t no. 12 792); Guinayangan (Merrill no. 2002). 



This species is closely allied to Parinarium salicifolium 

 Miq. and I greatly doubt if the two should be kept separate. 

 Parinarium salicifolium is described by Presl at grcath length, 

 in Epimeliae Botanicae p. 193(1849), as a new species of a new 

 genus, Griimania (Grij)nania sali ci folia) , this genus consisting 

 of only two species, the preceding and G. polyandra (IL B. K.) 

 Presl. I have seen the authentic specimen from the Philippines, 

 CuMiN<i no. 1057. Parinarium Griffithianum Benth., on the 

 other hand, is described by Bextham, in a few lines, in Hooker's 

 Niger Flora (1849) p. 334, note. Bextham's specimen I have 

 also seen and as far as I can judge the two plants agree ab- 

 solutely. 



In the Berlin lierbarium there are specimens from the Am 

 Islands determined b}^ Warblri; and one from New Guinea 

 identified by Schumann as Paritia?'ium Griffitliianuni; this 

 indicates that the area of distribution is very great. 



In case the future monograplior unites the species, the 

 j)lant should bo called GriffiiJiiamtni as, although l)ntli species 

 were described in 1S49, Pk'p:sl did nut place his in the proper 

 genus.
