 Ardisia negroensis Mez in Fedde Repert. 16 (1920) 411. 

 Northern Luzon to Palawan and Mindanao in most or all islands and 

 provinces. Common in primary forests at low and medium altitudes, as- 

 cending to 1,000 m, incl. Elmer 15882, 18203, 17494- as A. sorsogonensis 

 Elm.; represented by more than 150 collections, chiefly identified as A. 

 boissieri A. DC. Endemic? 



This is a tree rather than a shrub and is not certainly specifically dis- 

 tinct from Ardisia obovata Blume. It appears to be neither the same as 

 A. humilis Vahl to which Mez referred Presl's species, nor A. littoralis 

 Andr. Fragments from the original collection of A. squamulosa Presl and 

 A. boissieri and a cotype of A. negroensis Mez are before me and they 

 certainly represent the same species.
