338 ENUMERATION OF PHILIPPINE PLANTS 1923 



Material from southern China referred to W. pubescens R. Br. seems to 

 belong here; I do not think it or the Philippine form can be referred to 

 Brown's species. To be compared with W. javanica A. DC. 



Local names: Anotong (Tag., Sbl.) ; bulak-na-talon (Klg.) ; laniisi 

 (Ibn.) ; laniti (Tag., Sbl., Tagb., P. Bis.) ; laniting-puti (Tag.) ; lanusi 

 (Ibn.); lanuti (Ilk.). 



EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Wrightia coccinea Sims; F.Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 131. 

 Wrightia javanica A. DC; F.-Vill. 1. c. 

 Wrightia tomentosa R. & S.; F.-Vill. op. cit. 130. 



Wrightia tinctoria R. Br.; Ceron Cat. PI. Herb. Manila (1892) 115. 



This reference was based on Vidal 3247 from Manila, which I have not 

 seen. The species does not occur in Manila now, cultivated or otherwise.
