MERRILL. 
NEYRAUDIA Hook. f. 
Neyraudia madagascarensis (Kunth) Hook. f. ; Men-, in Philip. Journ. Sei. 
1 (1906) Suppl. 381. 
This species was admitted on the strength of identifications made by Vidal, 
and Ceron, based on Cuming 623, and Vidal 1/011. I have examined both in the 
Kew Herbarium, and find them to be referable to Phrag mites karka (Retz. ) Trim 
-Y eyraudia madagascarensis must therefore be excluded from the Philippine flora. 
ANDROPOGON L inn. 
Andropogon leptos Steud. Syn. 1 (1855) 397; Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sc-i. 1

Garnotiella philippinensis Stapf in Hook. Ic. PI. IV 5 (1896) pi. 21/91/; Merr. 
1. c. 374. 
Here enumerated to all attention to the reduction of the monotypic genus 
Garnotiella. The type of Garnotiella philippinensis in the Kew Herbarium, is 
identical with Andropogon leptos, and is a true Andropogon. Dr. Stapf, to whose 
attention I called the matter, concurs in this reduction. To be sure of the identity 
of the Philippine plant with Andropogon leptos Steud., 1 later examined the type 
of Steudel’s species in the Berlin Herbarium, and found the determination to be 
correct. 
CYPERACEiE. 
FI M BRISTYLIS Vahl. 
Fimbristylis cymosa R. Br. ; Clarke in Philip. Journ. Sei. 2 (1907) Bot. 97. 
This species must be excluded from the Philippine flora, as the specimen in 
the Kew Herbarium, on which the record was based, bears a printed label with 
the date 1831. and is from Cuming’s first collection from the southern Pacific, 
and not from the Philippines. Cuming’s Philippine plants were distributed ten 
years later.

Islands.
