Luzon, Province of Benguet, Baguio (5929 Elmer) March, 1904; (18 Topping) 
Fehruary, 1903. An interesting addition to our knowledge of the Asiatic element 
in the Philippine flora, the species having previously been known from the 
mountains of British India, Java, China, and Japan. No. 5929 Elmer has been 
examined by Schneider, who has recently monographed the genus Berheris,^- and 
who verifies the above identifieation, although stating that in the absence of 
flowers the determination can not he absolutely certain. Topping’s specimen is 
with flowers, and offers no characters hy which I am able to distinguish the 
Philijipine form from the above species.
