ROBINSON. 
14. Legnotis lanceolata ed. 1 445. 
Metrosideros pictipetala. ed. 2 295. 
If this is any species represented by recent collections, it is most probably 
Decaspermum paniculatum . 
15. Melaleuca grandiflora ed. 1 615. 
Bombax ceiba ed. 2 372. 
The second identification is correct. 
The following were credited to the Philippines by Fernandez- Villar in the 
Novissima Appendix, but have not been exactly matched in recent collections. 
Baeckea frutescens Linn. Sp. PL (1753) 358. 
This was credited on the authority of previous authors, who did so by wrongly 
localizing Cuming 2269, the type of B. oumingiana Schauer. Villar says that he 
had not seen it: Cuming 2269 came from Malacca. To be excluded. 
Melaleuca leucadendron Linn. Mant. (1767) 105. 
Reported as cultivated in Manila: by others its range has been extended to 
the Philippines, through another wrong localization, Cuming 2212, the type of 
M. cumingiana, generally reduced to M. leucadendron, being also from Malacca. 
Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Voy. 1 (1799) 153, pi. 13. 
Credited as cultivated: none of the eucalypti at present in cultivation here 
seem to be this species. 
Metrosideros vera Lindl. Collec. Bot. (1821) pi. 18. 
Credited merely as the identification of M. pictipetala (see above), Villar 
saying that he had not seen it. It is possible that some of our sterile material 
may be of this species, but the probabilities are otherwise. 
Rhodamnia trinervia Bluine Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 1 (1851) 79. 
A third case where others had credited a Cuming plant from Malacca to the 
Philippines: Villar, again, had not seen it. 
Decaspermum rubrum Baill. Hist. PI. 6: 341. 
Nelitris rubra Blume Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 1 (1851) 73. 
A wrong identification of Myrtus communis Blanco ( Decaspermum blancoi 
Vidal).
