EXCLUDED SPECIES 



ROTTBOELLIA MYUROS Linn.; Ceron Cat. PL Herb. Manila (1892) 181. 



This record was probably based on an erroneously identified specimen 

 of Ophiurus monostachyus Presl. 



ROTTBOEXLIA MUTICA Llanos ex F.-Vill. & Naves in Blanco FL Filip. ed. 

 3, 4^ (1880) 99. 

 This is an evident misprint for Rottboellia muricata Retz., a species 

 that does not occur in the Philippines.
