DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Embelia myrtillus Kurz ; Rolfe in Journ. Bot. 23 (1885) 213; Vidal Rev. 

 PL Vase. Filip. (1886) 174. 

 Myrsine myrtillus Hook. Ic. II 5 (1852) t. 825; Walp. Ann. 5 (1858) 

 473. 

 The Philippine record was based on Lobb 478, labeled as originating in 

 Luzon; in some herbaria the label appears as Java. Lobb's specimen 

 unquestionably came from the Malay Peninsula, the species being known 

 from no other region. 



Embelia ribes Burm. f.; A. DC. Prodr. 8 (1844) 85; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 

 2 (1859) 1011; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 122. 

 The Philippine record was based on Cuming 2320, which was from 

 Malacca, not from the Philippines.
