LEGUMINOS^ (p. 37). 



Cylista piscatoria Blanco, ed. 1, 589; Galactia ? terminiflora Blanco ed. 2, 

 411, previouslj' considered by the author to be a distinct species of Millcttia. 

 M. piscatoria (Blanco) Merr. is certainly identical with Derris elliptica (Wall.) 

 Henth., a species widely distributed from Martaban to the Malayan Peninsuln 

 and Archipelago. (See Merrill in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 66.) 



Cytisus quinquepetalus Blanco ed. 1, 598; ed. 2, 581. Following F.-ViUar 

 this was considered to be the same as Desmodium cephalotes Wall., but on securing 

 specimens it was found to be quite distinct from Wallich's sj^ecies and to represent 

 a distinct species of Desmodium, D. quinqnepetalum (Blanco) Merr. in Govt. 

 Lab. Publ. 35 (1905) 20. 



Negretia mitis Blanco ed. 1, 588; ed. 2, 410, non Beauv., has been considered 

 by the author as Mucima lyonii Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 

 197. However the validity of the latter species seems doubtful, and it may prove 

 only a form of Mucuna nivea DC, to which Blanco's species was reduced by 

 F.-Villar. 



Mimosa membranulacea Blaiico ed. 1, 739; Reichardia pentapetala Blanco, 

 ed. 2, 23.S. This was considered to be the same as Pterolobium indicvm A. Rich., 

 after F.-Yillar, but was later considered by the author to represent a distinct 

 species. Pterolobium memhranulaceum (Blanco) Merr., in Govt. Lab. Publ. 35 

 (1905) 22, where the species is redescribed. 



Bauhinia grandiflora Blanco, ed. 1, 332; ed. 2, 231, non Juss. This i^ 

 apparently identical with Bauhinia acuminata Linn., and not at all B. variecjata 

 Linn., to which F.-Villar reduced it. B. acumiiiala Linn., seems to be widely 

 distributed in Luzon but is nowhere abundant. 



MYRTACE.E (p. 45). 



Metrosideros pictapetala Blanco, ed. 2, 295. This species was described by 

 Blanco in tlie first edition under the name Legnotis lanceolata, p. 445, as pointed 

 out to me by Dr. €. B. Rohinson in lit. F.-Villar failed to connect Legnotis of 

 the first edition with Metrosideros of the second edition, and made no attempt 

 to reduce the former. I have as yet not succeeded in connecting Blanco's species 

 with any known one. 



Eugenia lobas Blanco ed. 1, 857; Eugenia cauliflora Blanco ed. 2, 291. 

 Considered by the author to represent a distinct species and redescribed under the 

 former name in Govt. Lab. Publ. 35 (1905) 48. 



ONAGRACE.E (p. 48). 



Ballngayum is excluded from this family and referred to Valoyyne ((loode- 

 niacecc) which see (p. 434). 



ARALIACE^E (p. 51). 



Nauclea digitata Blanco, ed. 2, \02^ t-ichefflera blancoi Merr. in Philip. Journ. 

 Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 109.
