THE FLORA OF MANILA. 
243 
A species well distinguished from other Philippine forms by its sub- 
globose fruits, but in other characters rather closely similating forms of 
Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir. It is probably most closely allied to 
T. sphaerocarpa Bl., but differs from that species in its smaller flowers and 
leaves. 
ASCLEPIADACEAE. 
TELOSMA Coville {Pergularia Auct., non L.) 
The genus Pergularia L. has been misinterpreted by most later authors. 
It is the same as the genus Daemia {Doemia) R. Br. The new name 
Telosma was proposed by Coville,” for Pergularia Auct., non L., with the 
transfer of a single species, Telosma odoratissima (Lour.) Coville. Later 
Mr. N. E. Brown ” proposed the new name Prageluria, but without the 
transfer of any of the species. Prageluria N. E. Br. is an exact synonym 
of Telosma Coville.

A widely distributed endemic species found at low altitudes. The oldest 
specific name is here adopted for there can be no doubt but that Pergularia 
filipes Schltr., described in 1904, is identical with Pergularia procumbens 
Blanco, described in 1837, and well figured by Naves in the third edition of 
the “Flora de Filipinas.” The species is not uncommon in thickets in the 
vicinity of Manila. 
TELOSMA ANGUSTILOBA (Warb.) comb. nov.

Blume. 
The type of this species is Cuming 133i, in the Berlin Herbarium, and 
the specimen was collected in Cagayan Province, Luzon, according to 
Cuming’s own list of localities. In the original description the type is 
cited as “(Cuming) Warburg no. 1334)”; this is an error as the number 
refers to Cuming’s specimen, not to Warburg’s. I could find no specimen 
of this species in the Berlin Herbarium collected by Warburg.
