Merrill Phil. PI. 881 is the type collection of Ilex merrillii Briq. It is 

 identical with Ilex gracilipes Merr., which Loesener identifies as Ilex as- 

 prella Champ. After examining a large series of Philippine, Formosan, 

 and Chinese specimens I can see no valid reason for distinguishing the 

 Philippine form by name.
