THE FLORA OF MOUNT PULOG. 
337 
celled, about l inm long; style 3 mm long, the arms 3, less than 0.4 mm 
in length. 
Submerged in seepage pools af .shallow water, about 40 cm in depth, in the 
open grass’ lands of the summit, altitude about 2,800' m, Merrill 6590; also in 
shallow water of the small pond on the summit of Mount Data, altitude about 
2,250 m, Merrill 45.20, November, 1905. A specimen collected by Loher, also on 
Mount Data ( 1586 in Herb. Kew. ) is probably the same. 
A species apparently as closely allied to E. minutum Hook. f. of British India 
as to any other described species, but quite distinct from that so far as can be 
determined from the description.

LUZULA DC. 
1. L. effusa Buchenau Krit. Verz. June. (1880) 53, 88, Engl. Pflanzenreich 25 
(1906) 61. > 
In the upper mossy forest and about ledges in lower border of the summit 
grass lands, altitude about 2,750 m, Merrill 6490. 
Eastern Himalayan region and Szechuen, China. 
Not previously reported from the Philippines, and a very interesting discovery, 
augmenting our knowledge of the Himalayan element in the Philippine flora. 
The only species of the genus previously reported from the Archipelago is 
L. campestris (L.) DC. recorded by F.-Villar, Nov. App. (1882) 273. This 
record was almost certainly based on erroneously identified material, as F.-Villar 
mentions the plant he observed as having heads 2.4 to 4 cm in diameter. It is 
interesting to note here, however, that Lusula campestris (L. ) DC., has recently 
been discovered in Luzon, Province of Benguet, Pauai, Bur. Sci. 8426 McGregor, 
June, 1909, growing in pine forests, altitude about 2,000 m. The specimen seems 
to be most closely allied to the-var. capitata Miq., of Japan. 
LILIACEiE. 
DIANELLA Lam. 
1. D. ensifolia (L.) Red. Lil. (1802) t. 1. 
Common in the mossy forest, and along its lower borders, Merrill 6585, Mc- 
Gregor 8873, G. M. Z. 16199, 18073. 
Widely distributed at higher altitudes in the Philippines; India to China and 
Formosa through • Malaya to Australia and the Mascarene Islands. 
2. D. caerulea Sims Bot. Mag. t. 505. 
Stream depressions in the pine region, altitude about 1,500 m, C. M. Z. 16194, 
Merrill 6512lis. ^ 
Widely distributed on the higher mountains of the Philippines; New Guinea 
and Australia. 
LI LI U M Linn. 
1. L. philippinense Baker in Gard. Chron. (1873) 1141. 
In the pine region, open slopes, and in stream depressions, ascending to 2,000 m, 
G. M. Z. 18115, Merrill 6513. Locally known as suyasoy. 
In the Philippines confined to the Benguet-Lepanto region; also found in 
Formosa. ■
