Phyllanthus blancoanus Mnell. Arg., was based on F. niruri Blanco, non Linn. 
=P. tetrander Blanco, non Eoxb., and being known only from Blanco’s description, 
has previously been a doubtful species. The above specimens although not agree- 
ing perfectly with Blanco’s description, are the only ones I have seen that closely 
approach the species as described by him, and accordingly are so referred.
