MERRILL AND MERRITT. 
DICHROCEPHALA DC. 
1. D. latifolia (Lam.) DC. Prodr. 5 (1836) 372. 
Upper pine region, extending to the lower limits of the mossy forest, G. M. Z. 
16178, Merrill 6583. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at medium and higher altitudes; trop- 
ical and subtropical Asia and Africa. 
2. D. chrysanthemifolia (Bl.) DC. in Wight Contrib. (1834) 11; Prodr. 5 
(1836) 372. 
Upper pine region, Merrill 6522. 
Known from the Philippines only from high altitudes in the Benguet-Lepanto 
region; about the same extra-Philippine range as the preceding species. 
MYRIACTIS Less. 
1. M. humilis Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 244. 
In the mossy forest, Merrill 6509, and at base of cliffs in the summit grass 
lands, C. M. Z. 16114. 
Higher mountains of the Benguet-Lepanto region, also on Mount Banajao, 
Province of Tayabas, Luzon; endemic. 
ASTER Linn. 
1. A. trinervius Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 61, nomen, FI. Ind. 3 (1832) 433; 
Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 3;' (1881) 252. 
In the pine region, altitude about 1,500 m, G. M. Z. 16122. 
Central and western Himalaya, Khasia Mountains, China, and Japan; not 
previously reported from the Philippines. 
The number cited above, so far as our mounted specimen goes, agrees closely 
with Roxburgh’s species as interpreted by Hooker f. ; some of the duplicates distrib- 
uted under this number may have been referable to Aster philippinensis Moore, 
a quite different endemic species. 
ERIGERON Linn. 
1. E. linifolius Willd. Sp. PI. 3 (1800) 1955. 
Common in the pine region, C. M. Z. 16108, 16119, Merrill 6515. 
Common and widely distributed in the Philippines; a native of the Mediter- 
ranean region, now widely distributed in subtropical and tropical parts of the 
world. 
CONYZA Less. 
1. C. japonica (Thunb.) Less. Syn. Comp. (1832) 204. 
Upper pine region, Merrill 651f0. 
In the Philippines known only from higher altitudes of the Benguet-Lepanto 
region; Afghanistan to Japan, southward to Malaya. 
2. C. viscidula Wall. Cat. (1828) no. 3006; DC. Prodr. 5 (1836) 383. 
In the pine region, altitude about 1,400 m, G. M. Z. 16336. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes, but not 
common; India to Java, New Caledonia, and Australia. 
BLUMEA DC. 
1. B. append iculata (Bl.) DC. Prodr. 5 (1836) 447. 
Upper pine region, G. M. Z. 18116, and in the lower mossy forest, Merrill 6511. 
Widely distributed in the Philippines at medium and higher altitudes, but not 
common ; Java.
