576 ENUMERATION OF PHILIPPINE PLANTS 



1923 



Badusa philippica (Cav.) Vidal Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (1886) 150. 

 Cinchona philippica Cav. Ic. 4 (1797) 15, t. 329. 



Exostemma philippicum R. & S. Syst. 5 (1819) 20; DC. Prodr. 4 

 (1830) 360; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 106. 



"Habitat prope Manila in Santa Cruz de la Laguna" Cavanilles 1. c. 

 This is undoubtedly an error in localization, as nothing conforming to the 

 species described and figured by Cavanilles has been found in the Phil- 

 ippines. Nee's specimen probably came from tropical America or per- 

 haps from Mulgrave Island or Vavao. 



Chomelia sp.; Usteri Beitr. Ken. Philip. Veg. (1905) 119. 

 The specimen probably represents a species of Tarenna. 



PetesIa ? hispida Bartl. ex DC. Prodr. 4 (1830) 395; F.-Vill. Novis. App. 

 (1880) 113. 

 "In ins. Luzon (v. s. in h. Haenke)" de Candolle 1. c. The very short 

 and imperfect description is insufficient to warrant even a guess at the 

 identity of this species; the other two Philippine species of Petesia de- 

 scribed by Bartling are species of Timonius. 



Stylocoryna ? macrophylla Bartl. ex DC. Prodr. 4 (1830) 377; Miq. Fl. 

 Ind. Bat. 2 (1857) 206; Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 17 (1920) 472. 

 Webera macrophylla F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 108. 



"In ins. Manila prope Sorsogon. An certe hujus generis ? "DC. 1. c. 

 The status of this form is indeterminable from the very short and im- 

 perfect original description of two and one-half lines only. 



Vangueria spinosa Roxb.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 110. 



Vangueria stellata Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 167, ed. 2 (1845) 117, ed. 3, 

 1 (1877) 210. 



It seems probale that Blanco's description was based on material orig- 

 inating from two unrelated species. It was erroneously reduced by F.- 

 Villar to Vangueria spinosa Roxb. 



CAPRIFOLIACEAE 



1. SAMBUCUS Tournefort 



SAMBUCUS JAVANICA Reinw. ex Blume Bijdr. (1825) 657; Blanco Fl. 

 Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 151, ed. 3, 1 (1877) 271; Hook. f. & Th. in 

 Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 2 (1858) 180; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 103;

 Blancoanae (1918) 370; Scheverin in Mitt. Deutsch. Dendrol. 

 Gesellsch. 18 (1909) 41. 



Luzon (Ilocos Norte to Sorsogon, in most or all provinces), Mindoro, 

 Catanduanes, Leyte, Negros, Panay, Mindanao. In primary forests, chiefly 

 at medium altitudes, ascending to 2,000 m and here in old clearings, damp 

 thickets, etc. India to China and Malaya. 



Local names: Galamat (Ig.) ; kalamat (Ig.) ; sauco (Sp.).
