MENISPEKMACEiE. 
Cissampeios discolor DC. ? var. cardiophylla A. Gray (p. 38). “Hab. small 
island in the Sooloo Sea.” Apparently only a form of Cissampeios pareira, Linn., 
common throughout the Archipelago, and the Tropics generally. 
CA PPARIDACE2E. 
Polanisia icosandra Wight & Am. (p. 68). “Hab. Luzon, near Manilla.””/-'. 
viscosa DC. A common weed throughout the Archipelago. 
Capparis aurantioides Presl (p. 70). “Hab. Philippine Islands, at Caldera, 
Mindanao, and the Sooloo Islands.” Fragmentary specimens of a species some- 
what resembling Capparis micracantha DC., possibly correctly identified with 
Presl’s species. 
Capparis sepiaria Linn. (p. 70). “Hab. small island of the Sooloo Sea.” 
The common form of the species, widely distributed in the Indo-Malayan region. 
Capparis cerasifolia sp. nov. (p. 71). “Small island of the Sooloo Sea, same 
as Cuming’s No. 1068 from the Philippine Islands.” This has been reduced by 
some authors to Capparis horrida Linn., but is apparently a distinct and valid 
species. The type is well matched by No. 658 Copeland, and Nos. 2152 and 
2200 R. S. Williams, from Mindanao. It is quite distinct from No. 1068 Cuming 
which Gray also refers here. 
Capparis odorata Blanco ? (p. 71). “Hab. vicinity of Manilla, Luzon (with- 
out flowers or fruit).” The specimen is C. niieraeantha DC., a very common 
species in the Philippines. 
CAKYQPHYLLACErE. 
Drymaria cordata Willd. (p. 123). “Hab Luzon, Philippine Islands: 
in mountains near Manilla: doubtless introduced.” Rather common in the 
Philippines. 
MALVACEAE. 
Mai vastrum tricusp idatum Gray (p. 148). “Hab Manilla, Luzon.” 
The oldest name for the species is M. coromandelinum (Willd.) Garcke. A com- 
mon weed. 
Sida rhombifolia Linn. (p. 158). “Hab Luzon, the var. with 
pointless or barely mucronate carpels.” No specimens found. A widely distrib- 
uted species. 
Sida acuta Burm. (p. 159). “Hab. . . . shores of Laguna, Banos, Luzon.” 
No specimens found; common and widely distributed. 
Sida javensis Cav. (p. 160). “Hab. near Manilla, Luzon.” Rather common 
locally in Luzon. = S. humilis Willd. 
Abutilon indicum Don ( p. 167). “Flab, near Manilla and Banos: common 
in waste places.” A very common weedy plant. 
Urena lobata Linn. var. scabriuscula (DC.) A. Gray, (p. 169). “Hab 
mountains near Banos, Luzon (Philippine Islands, Cuming No. 469).” Very 
abundant and widely distributed.
