WHOLLY DOUBTFUL GENUS 



Baranda ANGATENSIS Llanos in Mem. Acad. Cienc. Madr. Ill 2 (1857) 502; 



F.-Vill. & Naves in Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 3, 4 1 (1880) 102; Merr. 



Sp. Blancoanae (1918) 382. 

 This was reduced to Barringtonia macrostachya Kurz by F.-Villar, but 

 there is little evidence that a lecythidaceous plant was intended. Llanos's 

 description of the genus and species is wholly inadequate.
