the Philippine distribution; the specimen was from Malacca. The genus has 
no known representative in the Philippines. 
Anplectrum divaricatum Triana; C. B. Clarke, 1. c. 546, as “Philippines;” 
a case similar to the preceding. The specimen in the Kew herbarium is 
Cuming 2259, from Malacca, not from the Philippines. The species does 
not extend to the Philippines. 
Kibessia simplex Korth. ; C. B. Clarke 1. c. 552, as “Philippines,” but 
like the two preceding cases, the Cuming specimen, so labeled, was from 
Malacca, not from the Philippines. The genus has no known representative 
in the Philippines. 
Memecylon manillanum Naud. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Ill 18 (1852) 276. 
This was based on Cuming 2322, under the assumption that this specimen 
was from the Philippines, and apparently from some point near Manila. The 
specimen, however, was from Malacca, not from the Philippines. It is a 
synonym of M. caeruleum Jack, and here must also be reduced M. diversifo- 
lium Presl. [See Merrill in Philip. Journ. Sci. 8 (1913) Bot. 227.] 
Pternandra caerulascens Jack; Triana in Trans. Linn. Soc. 28 (1871) 
153. “Cuming 2316,” but the specimen was from Malacca, not from the 
Philippines. The genus has no representative in the Philippines. 
Allomorphia exigua Blume; Triana 1. c. 74. “Cuming 2295;” the speci- 
men was from Malacca, not from the Philippines. No representative of the 
genus is known from the Philippines. 
Dissochaeta pepericarpa Naud. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Ill 15 (1851) 71, based 
on Cuming 2259 as the type, from the Philippines. The specimen was from 
Malacca, not from the Philippines. The species does not extend to the 
Philippines. 
Sonerila HETEROSTEMON Naud. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Ill 15 (1851) 326, based 
on Cuming 2349 from “Luzon” == Sonerila obliqua Korth.; Triana in Trans. 
Linn. Soc. 28 (1871) 77, with the citation of the same locality and number. 
Cuming 2349 was from Malacca, not from the Philippines; the species does 
not occur in the Philippines. 
MYRSINACEAE 
i 
Embelia myrtillus Kurz; Rolfe in Journ. Bot. 23 (1885) 213. This 
Philippine record was based on a specimen collected by Lobb and labeled 
“Luzon;” it has not appeared in our collections and can safely be eliminated 
from the Philippine flora. Lobb’s specimen was probably from Singapore 
or Borneo. 
Embelia ribes Burm.; A. DC. in DC. Prodr. 8 (1844) 85. “in Philippinis 
(Cuming! 2320).” The specimen was from Malacca; the species is quite 
unknown as Philippine. 
Maesa ramentacea Wall.; A. DC. 1. c. 77. “Philippinis (Cuming! 2286)." 
The specimen was from Malacca; the species does not occur in the Phil- 
ippines. 
LOGANIACEAE 
Fagraea ligustrina Blume; Vidal Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (1886) 191. The 
Philippine record was based on a specimen collected by Lobb and labeled 
“Luzon;” the species is otherwise unknown as Philippine and can safely be 
excluded. Lobb’s specimen was probably from Java.
