comprehensive collections, and it manifestly belongs in the section Casparia, 
all of which are from tropical America, chiefly Mexico. 
Bauhinia subrotundifolia Cav. Ic. 5 (1799) 4, t. 1,06. “Habitat in 
Calavan [Prov. Laguna, Luzon] duodecem leucis a Manila et etiam in Aca- 
pulco [Mexico] viciniis.” This is most certainly not a Philippine species. 
The note given above under Bauhinia lunularia Cav. applies here. 
Neptunia oleracea Lour.; F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 58, as Philippine 
by citation of Cuming 2352; this specimen was from Malacca. The refer- 
ence is now hardly worthy of exclusion, as the species has very recently 
been collected in Mindanao. 
EUPHORBIACEAE 
Sebastiana chamaelea Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. 15" (1866) 1175. “In 
Philippinis (Cuming 2324).” The specimen was from Malacca. No rep- 
resentative of the genus is known from the Philippines. Unimportant is 
the reference to Cuming 21,07, under Sauropus albicans, and Cuming 21,29, 
under Euphorbia atoto Forst., by Mueller and by Boissier 1. cc. 241, 12; 
both specimens were from Malacca, not from the Philippines, but both species 
occur in the Philippines. 
SIMARUBACEAE 
Eurycoma longifolia Jack; Vidal Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (1886) 78. The 
Philippine record was based on a specimen collected by Lobb, labeled 
“Luzon.” It can safely be excluded, as no representative of the genus is 
known from the Philippines; E. dubia Elm. probably does not even belong 
in the Simarubaceae. Lobb’s specimen was probably from Singapore or 
Borneo, where the species is common. 
ANACARDIACEAE 
Mangifera lagenifera Griff.; Perk. Frag. FI. Philip. (1904) 25. “Phil- 
ippines (Cuming 2330) ;” the specimen was from Malacca, not from the 
Philippines; Merrill 610 referred here by Dr. Perkins is Buchanania arborea 
Bl. Mangifera lagenifera Griff, does not occur in the Philippines. 
AQUIFOLIACEAE 
Ilex lobbiana Rolfe in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 21 (1884) 309. This was 
based on a specimen collected by Lobb and labeled “Luzon.” The species 
has not appeared in our recent collections and in all probability Lobb’s 
specimen was not from Luzon, but from Java; this is confirmed by Loesener’s 
recent treatment of I. lobbiana, who considers it merely as a variety of the 
Javan Ilex triflora Blume. At any rate, Ilex lobbiana Rolfe can safely be 
excluded from the Philippine list. 
THEACEAE 
Archytaea vahlii Choisy = A. alternifotia (Vahl) Hochr. This was 
admitted by F.-Villar, Novis. App. (1880) 19, as Philippine, who erroneously 
reduced to it Helianthemum triflorum Blanco; Blanco’s species is Grewia 
stylocarpa Warb. Vidal [Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (1886) 58] admitted Archy- 
taea vahlii as Philippine on the basis of a specimen collected by Lobb,
