 which may not have been from the Philippines.

 Celosia glauca Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 135, ed. 3, 1 (1877) 242, 

 non Rottl. 



Fernandez-Villar referred this to Celosia philippica Steud., but Blanco's 

 description presents nothing in common with that of the latter species. 

 The form described by Blanco was certainly no amaranthaceous plant, and 

 may possibly have been a species of Ammannia of the Lythraceae; I can- 

 not determine its status from the imperfect description.
