PLANTS (JOLT.ECTIOD I'.Y WILKES EXTEDLTlON. 8S 



MYRTA(;.EyE. 



Barringtonia speciosa Linn. f. (p. 508). "Hab. . : . Mangsi Islands." A 

 tre« connnon along tlic soasliore throughout the Philippines. No specimen found. 



Eugenia benthamii A. Gray (p. 520). "Hab. Mangsi Lslands in the Sooloo 

 Arcliipelago." Very fragmentary, but unque.stionably identical with the specimen 

 from Tobie Island, tiyzygium nitiduni Benth., which I have examined at Kew, 

 and wliich is really the type of the species. It is matched by Nos. 2185 and 

 2237 Merrill, Mindoro, and is apparently a valid species. 



Sonneratia acida Linn. f. (p. 550). "Hab. Luzon, in the vicinity of Manilla 

 (in fruit) ." = >S'. caticolaris Engl., a species not uncommon in the Piiilippines. 



Eucalyptus multiflora Rich sp. nov. (p. 554). "Hab. near Caldera, Mindanao, 

 one of the Philippine Islands." One of the few species of Eucalyptus found 

 outside of Australia, and not as yet rediscovered. It has been reduced by Maiden 

 to Knciilyiitu.s tKnidiiiiiina F. Miill. (PI. 2.) 



MELASTOMATACE.5^. 



Memecylon calderense A. Gray sp. nov. (p. 574, Tab. 71). "Hab. near 

 Caldera, Mindanao, (.nw of the Philippine Islands." Reduced by Cogniaux to 

 M. paniculatum, but it may prove to be a distinct species, the branches and 

 branchlets terete. 



Dissochaeta cumingii Naudin ? (p. GOO). "Hab. Luzon; in the mountains 

 near Banos." Leaf specimens only, but certainly Aslronia meyeri Merr. 



Melastoma fasciculare Naudin ? (p. 002). "Hab. Liizon, Philippine Islands, 

 near Manilla." The specimen agrees with a cotype of Naudin's species in herb. 

 Kew,and is to me the same as Melastoma polyanthum Blume, although Cogniaux 

 reduces it with doubt to Melastoma imhricatum Wall. I have seen no specimens 

 of the latter species from the Philippines. 



LYTHRACE^. 



Pemphls acidula Forst. (p. 605). "Hab. Sooloo Islands . . . . " Common 

 along the seashore throughout the Philippines. 



COMBRETACE^E. 



Terminal ia catappa Linn. (p. G15). "Hab. Mangsi Islands, in the Sooloo 

 Sea . . . . " The specimen in the United States National Herbarium marked 

 "Mangsi" is exactly identical with a sheet in the Herbarium of Columbia 

 University marked "Tongatabu," both specimens undoubtedly having come from 

 the same tree, the specimen at Washington probably being wrongly labeled. 

 Neither sheet represents TermimiUa catappa L., but the Polynesian Terminalia 

 littoraUs Seem., a species not found in the Indo-Malayan region. 



ONAGRACE.E. 



Ludwlgia jussiaeoides Lam. (p. 619). "Hab. Caldera, Mindanao, one of the 

 Philippine Islands." The specimen is apparently Ludwiyia prostrata Roxb.
