CAPRIFOLIACEiE. 
LON I CERA Linn. 
1. L. rehderi Mefr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. (Philip.) 29 (1905) 49.

SAMBUCUS Linn. 
1. S. javanica Bl. Bijdr. (1825) 657.

VIBURNUM Linn. 
1. V. luzonicum Rolfe in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 21 (1884) 310. 
In the lower mossy forest, and in ravines in the pine region, G. M. Z. 18164, 
Merrill 6534- 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at higher altitudes, very common in the 
Benguet-Lepanto region. An endemic species, but apparently closely allied to, and 
possibly not distinct from V. erosum Thunb. of Japan, China, and Formosa. 
2. V. odoratissimum Iver in Bot. Reg. 6 (1820) t. 456. 
Extending from an altitude of 1,300 m, in ravines in the pine region, to the

Common throughout the Benguet-Lepanto region, and occurring also on moun-

and Japan. Reported, with doubt, also from Celebes.
