MERRILL. 
fourteen of the Philippine species considered by Gray, were not to be 
found in the United States National Herbarium, and but four of this 
number were found elsewhere, one, llemigyrosa perroitetii Bl., being 
represented in the Gray Herbarium, and three, Derris uliginosa Benth., 
Sophora tomentosa Linn., and Bums rugosus Sm., in the Columbia 
University Herbarium. Many of the species mentioned by Pickering, 
such as Gahnia, Cnicus, etc., were not found, but more careful search 
may reveal them in some one of the above institutions, although it seems 
evident that a considerable number of the Wilkes Expedition plants are 
no longer extant. Only ninety-six species of Wilkes Expedition Philip- 
pine flowering plants were found in tire United States National Museum 
that were not considered by Gray, and most of these represent common 
and widely distributed species. 
All Philippine plants collected by the Wilkes Expedition that are 
mentioned by Gray in his one published volume on the botany of the 
Wilkes Expedition are enumerated in the list given below. Where no 
doubt exists as to the correctness of his identification no comment is 
made. No attempt has been made to discuss the ferns in the present 
paper, and it has not been thought worth while to enumerate the species 
represented in the United States National Herbarium that were not 
considered by Gray. The present paper will serve to clear up a number 
of points in regard to the synonomy of Philippine species, and an 
examination of the authentic specimens in the light of our present 
knowledge of Philippine botany has enabled me to correct several errors 
in identification on the part of Dr. Gray. 
The photographs of the four types here reproduced were supplied me 
by Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator of the United States National Her- 
barium, and are here published with the consent of the Secretary of the 
Smithsonian Institution. 
ANONAOE/E. 
Guatteria pallida Blume ? (p. 27). “Halt. Banos, near Manilla, Luzon, a 
poor specimen, with young fruit, destitute of flowers, which I can only doubtfully 
refer to Blume’s G. pallida, with the figure of which it pretty well accords.” 
The specimen is Goniothalmnus ehneri Merr., a common endemic species. 
Anaxagorea luzonensis sp. nov. (p. 27). “Hab. mountains near Banos in the 
Island of Luzon. (Also in Cuming’s Philippine collection, No. 831).” A very 
common and widely distributed species. 
M YKI STICACE2E. 
Myristica cinerea Poir. ? (p. 35). “Hab. Caldera, Mindanao, Philippine Is- 
lands.” Leaf specimens only, identical with Myristica mindanaensis Warb., an 
endemic species, known only from Mindanao.
