EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Aloe umbellata DC; Naves Novis. App. (1880) 266. 



5. ALLIUM Tournefort ' 



No species of this genus occurs naturally in the Philippines, although 

 several are cultivated. These include the onion, Allium cepa Linn., 

 locally known as cebollas or sibuyas, lasond (Ilk.); the garlic, A Ilium 

 sativum Linn., locally known as djos and bduang; and A. tuberosum Roxb., 

 a form locally known as cuchdi or ganda. The last is the form de- 

 scribed by Blanco as Allium tricoccum (non Ait.) and by Loureiro as Allium 

 angulosum (non Linn.). Other species credited to the Philippines by 

 Naves Novis. App. (1880) 267 are Allium fistulosum Linn.,, A. jacquemontii 

 Kunth, A. ascalonicum Linn., and A. uliginosum Don = A. tuberosum Roxb.; 

 I have seen no Philippine specimens of the first three, and it is probable 

 that they do not occur in the Philippines even in cultivation.
