PLANTS FROM BATANES AND BABUYANES ISLANDS. 437 



The oldest specific name is here ado[)ted for this common and widely distributed 

 species. Linnaeus ^ first cites Fl. Zeyl. 5.3, in liis description of the species, but 

 adds other references, at least one of which represents a different species. Trinien * 

 however, states under Sarcocephaltts cordatus Miq., "Hermann's drawing (there 

 is no specimen) is certainly this; which fixes Linnaeus's Nauclca orientalis as 

 originally the same."
