79. CEPHALOSTACHYUM Munro 



CEPHALOSTACHYUM MINDORENSE Gamble in Philip. Journ. Sci. 5 

 (1910) Bot. 272. 



Luzon (Camarines), Mindoro, F. B. 1H21, 8619, 6213 Merritt, 10667 

 Curran, 27U2J4. Ablaza & Ramos. In thickets and forests at low altitudes, 

 locally abundant. Endemic. 



This is presumably the form reported from the Philippines by F.- 

 Villar, Novis. App. (1882) 324, as C. capitatum Munro, a species that 

 does not occur in the Archipelago. To be compared here is Vidal Jf021, 

 reported by Ceron, Cat. PI. Herb. Manila (1892) 185, as Oxytenanthera sp. 



Local names: Bagtok (Bik.); bakto (Tag.); bikal (Bik.). 



80. SCHIZOSTACHYUM Nees 



SCHIZOSTACHYUM CURRAN 1 1 Gamble in Philip. Journ. Sci. 5 (1910) 

 Bot. 277; Camus Bamb. (1913) 177. 

 Luzon (Ifugao, Benguet), F. B. 108 Jf9 Curran, 180H Merritt, B. S. 

 19778 McGregor, Merrill Phil. PI. 1217. In borders of the mossy forest, 

 altitude about 2,000 m. Endemic. 



SCHIZOSTACHYUM DIELSIANUM (Pilger) Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 

 1 Suppl. (1906) 391; Gamble in Philip. Journ. Sci. 5 (1910) Bot. 

 274, 8 (1913) Bot. 205; Camus Bamb. (1913) 174, t. 96, f. B. 

 Dinochloa dielsiana Pilger in Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 148. 

 Palawan, Merrill 711. In thickets and forests at low altitudes. En- 

 demic. 



By no means certainly distinct from S. diffusum Merr. Numerous spec- 

 imens distributed as S. dielsianum Merr. appear to be referable to S., 

 diffusum, but many intergrades occur.
