GENTIANACEAE 
ENICOSTEMA Blume 
ENICOSTEMA VERTICILLATUM (Linn.) Engl. Pflanzenw. Ost-Afr. C 
(1895) 313; Engl. & Prantl Nat. Pflanzenfam. 4 2 (1895) 67, /. 31. 
Gentiana verticillata Linn. Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 952;, Burm. f. FI. Ind. 
(1768) 73. “Coromandeli.” 
Enicostema littorale Blume Bijdr. (1826) 848. 
Burman’s species is clearly the same as the Linnean one of the 
same name, and perhaps he did not intend to describe it as a 
new one. It is commonly known as E. littorale Blume. 
APOCYNACEAE 
CARISSA Linnaeus 
CARISSA CARANDAS Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 52. 
Capparis carandas Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 118, 119. 
Echites spinosa Burm. f. op. cit. 69. 
Burman’s Capparis carandas is clearly based on Carandas 
Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 57, t. 25, and is a synonym of Carissa 
carandas Linn. The same binomial appears twice in Burman’s 
work, in both cases based on the same Rumphian synonym. 
Echites spinosa Burm. f. seems also to be clearly referable to 
Carissa carandas Linn. 
TABERNAEMONTANA Linnaeus 
TABERNAEMONTANA DIVAR1CATA (Linn.) R. Br. ex Roem. & Schultes 
Syst. 4 (1819) 427. 
Nerium divaricatum Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 209. 
Neriurn coronarium Jacq. Coll. 1 (1786) 138. 
Nyctanthes acuminata Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 5. “In Java, Mala- 
bara, Zeylona indigena, translate a Portugallis ex Manilhis in 
Amboinam.” 
Tabernaemontana coronaria Willd. Enum. Hort. Berol. (1809) 275. 
This is clearly Tabernaemontana divaricata (Linn.) R. Br., 
a species now pantropic in cultivation and more commonly known 
as T. coronaria Willd. It occurs in Manila only as an introduced 
and rarely cultivated plant and is not a native of the Philippines. 
STROPHANTHUS de Candolle 
STROPHANTHUS CAUDATUS (Burm. f.) Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 
46 2 (1877) 257. 
Echites caudata Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 68, t. 26. “Habitat in Javae 
locis altioribus.” 
Strophanthus dichotomies DC. in Bull. Soc. Philom. 3 (1802) 123.
