EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Dendrocalamus giganteus Munro; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1882) 324. 



Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro; F.-Vill. 1. c. ; Vidal Sinopsis Atlas 

 (1883) 42, t. 96, f. B. 



Vidal's figure was copied from Munro's plate, fide Vidal 1. c; see Gigan-

79. CEPHALOSTACHYUM Munro 



CEPHALOSTACHYUM MINDORENSE Gamble in Philip. Journ. Sci. 5 

 (1910) Bot. 272. 



Luzon (Camarines), Mindoro, F. B. 11421, 8619, 6213 Merritt, 10667 

 Curran, 27424 Ablaza & Ramos. In thickets and forests at low altitudes, 

 locally abundant. Endemic. 



This is presumably the form reported from the Philippines by F.- 

 Villar, Novis. App. (1882) 324, as C. capitatum Munro, a species that 

 does not occur in the Archipelago. To be compared here is Vidal 4021, 

 reported by Ceron, Cat. PL Herb. Manila (1892) 185, as Oxytenanthera sp. 



Local names: Bagtok (Bik.); bakto (Tag.); bikal (Bik.). 



80. SCHIZOSTACHYUM Nees 



SCHIZOSTACHYUM CURRAN 1 1 Gamble in Philip. Journ. Sci. 5 (1910) 

 Bot. 277; Camus Bamb. (1913) 177. 

 Luzon (Ifugao, Benguet), F. B. 10849 Curran, 18014 Merritt, B. S. 

 19778 McGregor, Merrill <PhU. PI. 1217. In borders of the mossy forest, 

 altitude about 2,000 m. Endemic. 



SCHIZOSTACHYUM DIELSIANUM (Pilger) Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 

 1 Suppl. (1906) 391; Gamble in Philip. Journ. Sci. 5 (1910) Bot. 

 274, 8 (1913) Bot. 205; Camus Bamb. (1913) 174, t. 96, f. B. 

 Dinochloa dielsiana Pilger in Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 148. 



Palawan, Merrill 711. In thickets and forests at low altitudes. En- 

 demic. 



By no means certainly distinct from S. diffusum Merr. Numerous spec- 

 imens distributed as S. dielsianum Merr. appear to be referable to S., 

 diffusum, but many intergrades occur.
