EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Rottboellia myuros Linn.; Ceron Cat. PI. Herb. Manila (1892) 181. 



This record was probably based on an erroneously identified specimen 

 of Ophiurus monostachyns Presl. 



Rottboellia mutica Llanos ex F.-Vill. & Naves in Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 

 3, 4 1 (1880) 99. 

 This is an evident misprint for Rottboellia muricata Retz., a species 

 that does not occur in the Philippines.
