DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Vitis cumingiana Turcz. in Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. 31 * (1858) 416; F.-Vill. 



Novis. App. (1880) 50; Planch, in DC. Monog. Phan. 5 (1887) 624; 



Vidal Phan. Cuming. Philip. (1885) 104, Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (1886) 



93. 

 Cuming 1173 is a Vitex; Planchon erroneously cites it as 1113; Turcza- 

 ninow's description, however, apparently applies to Columella. 



Vitis erioclada W. & A.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 49. 



Vitis indica Linn.; F.-Vill. 1. c. 



Vitis latifolia Roxb.; F.-Vill. 1. c. 



Vitis lanceolaria Roxb.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 50; Vidal Rev. PI. 

 Vase. Filip. (1886) 93; Usteri. Beitr. Ken. Philip. Veg. (1905) 114. 



Both records are undoubtedly based on some erroneously identified spe- 

 cies of Tetrastigma. 



Vitis capriolata Don; F-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 50. 



Vitis teysmannii Miq.; Usteri Beitr. Ken. Philip. Veg. (1905) 114 (teys- 

 manniana). 



Usteri's specimens from Cebu and Negros were probably not correctly 

 identified; not seen. 



Vitis vinifera Linn. Sp. .PI. (1753) 202; Planch, in DC. Monog. Phan. 5 

 (1887) 355; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 49; Ceron Cat. PI. Herb. 

 Manila (1892) 50; Usteri Beitr. Ken. Philip. Veg. (1905) 114.
