I have very recently discussed this species and its .synonymy -" citing also the 

 Philippine specimens that represent the species. It is not a native of the 

 Philippines, but its original home is not definitely known, although it was 

 probably derived from tropical America. Prain says that it is not a native of 

 India, but was introduced from Madagascar. It is at once distinguished from 

 all other Philippine species by its single perfect anther. To the synonjiny I 

 have added here B. subrotundifolia of F.-Villar and of Naves (not of Cavanilles) ; 

 Naves's plate fairly well represents the species.

The type of this species was collected by Nee, the localities given by Cavanilles 

 being "Habitat in CalSvan et Acapulco viciniis," the former in the Province 

 of Laguna, Luzon, and the latter in Mexico. The species belongs in the section 

 Casparia, which is entirely American (one species now cultivated in the tropics 

 of the world). The species is undoubtedly Mexican, and should be excluded 

 from the Philippine flora.

 edition (1845) to B. purpurea ]Ann., and considered by F.-Villar (Nov. App. 

 (1880) 73), to represent the Linnean species. The identification may be correct. 

 lis Blanco's material was from a cultivated specimen. No recent collector lias 

 found //. purpurea in the Philippines.
