DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 



Zizyphus dalanta Blanco PI. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 121, ed. 3, 1 (1877) 

 217; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 48; Merr. Sp. Blancoanae (1918) 

 244. 

 Rhamnus dalanta Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 171. 

 The exact status of this species cannot be determined from Blanco's 

 very imperfect description; his specimens were from Bonbonon, southern 

 Negros. The Bisayan name is given as dalanta, but this does not appear 

 to be known in Bonbonan now.
