 out locality. August, 1893. Perak, Kamuning (Machado)." 



In my herbarium there is a duplicate of Elmer's 7572 from 

 Luzon which Dr. R. Schlechter referred to B. adenopetalum 

 Lindl. Reichenbach f. cited B. adenopetalum as a near ally of the 

 Philippine B. braccatum. 



For the present it seems best to await more complete informa- 

 tion before abandoning the name B. adenopetalum for the Phil- 

 ippine species represented by Cuming 2076 and Merrill 3853.
