DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Justicia diffusa Willd.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 155. 

 Justicia salicifolia T. Anders.; Lindau in Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 41. 

 This reference is based on Warburg 12250 from Cagayan Province, Luzon. 

 The species is an Indian one, and I suspect the identification of Warburg's 

 specimen is wrong; not seen.
