Dunn, S. T. A Revision of tlie Genus llligera, Bliime. Journ. Linn. ,s'oo. Bot. 

 38 (1908) 290-297. 



Thirteen species are recognized, of which two are found in the Philippines, 

 /. tcniala (Bianco) Dunn ( =/. luzonensis (Presl) Merr. I , and /. platyandra 

 Dunn, the former confined to the Pliilippines and Formosa, the latter to 

 southern China, Hongkong, Indo-China, and the Philippines. In regard to the 

 former, llligera luzonensis is tlie oldest valid name, although the original 

 description and plate are both erroneous in some details. I have examined 

 the type in the Prague Herbarium.
