(3771 Merrill) January. In forests at 800 ni. This imperfectly known species 
is apparently valid, and not at all closely related to Hmilax macrophylla Roxli., 
to which Blanco’s species was reduced by Naves. The specimen cited above, though 
imperfect, certainly represents Blanco’s species. No. 1877 Ahern’s collector, Prov- 
ince of Rizal, Luzon, is a much better specimen, while No. 1713 Merrill from the 
same province represents the species in fruit. T., Sipit olang.
