EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Aristida laxa Cav. Ic. 5 (1799) 44, t, 470, /. 1; Kunth Enum. 1 (1833) 

 192; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 3 (1857) 381; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1882) 

 319. 

 ''Habitat props Montevideo, et in insulis Philippicis." This is probably 

 a Mexican species, certainly not Philippine, the latter record being based 

 on a wrongly localized specimen of Nee's collection. 



Aristida luzoniensis Cav. Ic. 5 (1799) 45, t. 470, f. 2; Spreng. Syst. 1 

 (1825) 266; Kunth Enum. 1 (1833) 192; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 3 (1857) 

 381; F.-Vill. & Naves in Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 3, 4' (1880) 99; 

 Novis. App. (1882) 319. 

 Chaetaria luzoniensis Beauv. Agrost. (1812) 30. 

 "Habitat in insula Luzon altera ex Philippicis." Certainly not a Phil- 

 ippine species, but American or Australian. 



Aristida murina Cav. Ic. 5 (1799) 44, t. 469, /. 1; Kunth Enum. 1 (1833) 

 192; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1882) 319. 

 "Habitat in Mindanao insula prope Samboangan [= Zamboanga]." 

 Undoubtedly a wrongly localized species, and Australian or American 

 rather than Philippine. 



Aristida rigida Cav. Ic. 5 (1799) 44, t. 469, f. 2; Kunth Enum. 1 (1833) 

 192; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 3 (1857) 381; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1882) 

 319. 

 "Habitat in insulis Philippicis." Unquestionably an erroneously lo- 

 calized species, and Australian or American rather than Philippine.
