A species known only from the Philippines and Celebes. Premna cordata 
Blanco, non R. Br. = Premnu tomentosa Blanco, non Wilhl., although very imper- 
fectly described by Blanco, is certainly referable to Schauer’s species. Blanco’s 
short description applies well to the specimens above cited, especially his exjires- 
sion “El involucro universal de la umbela, el de la parcial y el de la florecita, dos 
hojuelas alesnadas,” by “involucro” Blanco meaning the bracts and bracteoles. 
Premna, cardiophylla Schauer, is only a new name for Blanco’s Premna, cordata, 
and is included by the former in his monograph under doubtful or not sulliciently 
I'Cnown species. T., Maguilac ; according to Blanco, Malaapi.
