Vol-3 PLANTAGINACEAE 491 



"? In Philippinis (Cuming ! n 1403) ex parte in h. Bentham." Nees. 

 This number in most herbaria is a Jasminum, Nees had only a frag- 

 mentary specimen, and his description is very short and imperfect. En- 

 demic? 



EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Adhatoda vasica Nees; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 156. 



EXCLUDED GENERA 



Andrographis paniculata Nees; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 155. 



Cardanthera uliginosa Ham.; F.-Vill. op. cit. 153. 



Crossandra, infundibuliformis Nees; F.-Vill. op. cit. 154. 



Ecbolium sp.; F.-Vill. op. cit. 156. 



Jacobinia coccinea Benth. ; F.-Vill. 1. c. 



Nelsonia tomentosa Willd. F.-Vill. op. cit. 152. 



Phaylopsis parviflora Willd.; Usteri Veg. Beitr. Ken. Philip. (1905) 123. 

 Usteri's specimen is almost certainly misidentified both to the genus and 

 species. I suspect that it may prove to be Blechtim brownei Juss. 



Physic-glottis radicosa Usteri Beitr. Ken. Philip. Veg. (1905) 123. 



This is a misprint for Ptyssiglottis radicosa T. Anders., a species known 

 only from Ceylon; I suspect that Usteri's specimen will prove to be a 

 Hallieraca/ntha.
