DIOSCOREACE.l^ ( p. SO » . 



Dioscorea divaricata Ulaiici) cd. 1, 797; ed. 2, 550. Apparently a di.stiiic't 

 species; see ^Icnill in I'liilip. .louin. Sci. 1 (1!)0(>) Sup|)l. 35. 



LILIACE^I^: (p. 87). 



Smilax latifolia lilanco ed. 2. 548, non R. Br. = Hniilux vicaria Ktli.! 

 Apparently a distinct species; see ^lerrill in Philip. .Toiiru. Sci. 1 (190(i) 

 Siippl. 35. 



PANDANACE.^^ (p. 89). 



Pandanus gracilis Blanco ed. 1, 778; ed. 2, 530. The species recently de- 

 scribed by the author, Pandanus tchitfordii Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. 17 (1904) 

 8, may prove to be identical with Blanco's species although it does not agree in 

 habit with tlic foini described by Blanco. 



Pandanus exaltatus lilanco ed. 1, 778; ed. 2. 53(1. ^lanifestly two species 

 are included in the description. The mountain form is doubtless the one I have 

 described as Pandanus arayatensis, and 1 have identified as BUdico's species a 

 coast form from Semerara Island. 



Pandanus radicans Blanco ed. 1, 780; ed. 2, 537. This is not the same as 

 /'. dii1)iiis Spreng., but apparently' a valid species as redescribed by Elmer, Leaflets 

 IMiiJip. Bot. ( 19(l(j) 74. 



GRAMINEi^ (p. 91). 



Paspalum villosum Blanco ed. 1, 4(»: ed. 2, 28, non Thunb. 1 am ikiw of the 

 opinion that tliis is a form of Paspaiunt srrobicnlatum Linn. 



Andropogon ramosus Blanco, ed. 1, 37; ed. 2, 25, non b\)vsk. ^ Ischae mum 

 rugosimi var. distachyum (Cav. ) Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (190G) Suppl. 

 330. 



Cenchrus hexaflorus Blanco ed. 1, 30; ed. 2, 24. This was previously 

 rc<luced by nie to I'inniselum macrostachyum Brongn., but 1 am now of the 

 iipinion that it is the same as Pennisetum compressum B. Br. 



Andropogon schoenanthus Linn,, Blanco ed. 1, 39; ed 2, 27. i have con- 

 sidered (Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1900) Suppl. 339) that Blanco described the 

 Linnean species, but it is impossible to be riuite sure of this iintil flowering speci- 

 mens are received.
