MYRTACE2E. 
Barrington ia speciosa Linn. f. (p. 508). “Hab. . . . Mangsi Islands.” A 
tree common along the seashore throughout the Philippines. No specimen found. 
Eugenia benthamii A. Gray (p. 520). “Hab. Mangsi Islands in the Sooloo 
Archipelago.” Very fragmentary, but unquestionably identical with the specimen 
from Tobie Island, Syzygium nitidum Benth., which I have examined at Kew, 
and which is really the type of the species. It is matched by Nos. 2185 and 
2237 Merrill, Mindoro, and is apparently a valid species. 
Sonneratia acida Linn. f. (p. 550). “Hab. Luzon, in the vicinity of Manilla 
(in fruit),” — 8. caseolaris Engl., a species not uncommon in the Philippines. 
Eucalyptus multiflora Rich sp. nov. (p. 554). “Hab. near Caldera, Mindanao, 
one of the Philippine Islands.” One of the few species of Eucalyptus found 
outside of Australia, and not as yet rediscovered. It has been reduced by Maiden 
to Eucalyptus naudiniana F. Mull. (PI. 2.) 
MELASTOMATACExE. 
Memecylon calderense A. Gray sp. nov. (p. 574, Tab. 71). “Hab. near 
Caldera, Mindanao, one of the Philippine Islands.” Reduced by Cogniaux to 
M. paniculatum , but it may prove to be a distinct species, the branches and 
branchlets terete. 
Dissochaeta cumingii Naudin ? ( p. 000). “Hab. Luzon; in the mountains 
near Banos.” Leaf specimens only, but certainly Astronia meyeri Merr. 
Melastoma fasciculare Naudin ? (p. 602). “Hab. Luzon, Philippine Islands, 
near Manilla.” The specimen agrees with a cotype of Naudin’s species in herb. 
Kew, and is to me the same as Melastoma polyanthum Blume, although Cogniaux 
reduces it with doubt to Melastoma imbricatum Wall. I have seen no specimens 
of the latter species from the Philippines. 
LYTII RAOE2E. 
Pemphis acidula Forst. (p. 605). “Hab. Sooloo Islands . . . . ” Common 
along the seashore throughout the Philippines. 
OOMBRETACE2E. 
Terminalia catappa Linn. (p. 615). “Hab. Mangsi Islands, in the Sooloo 
Sea . ” The specimen in the United States National Herbarium marked 
“Mangsi” is exactly identical with a sheet in the Herbarium of Columbia 
University marked “Tongatabu,” both specimens undoubtedly having come from 
the same tree, the specimen at Washington probably being wrongly labeled. 
Neither sheet represents Terminalia catappa L., but the Polynesian Terminalia 
littoralis Seem., a species not found in the Indo-Malayan region. 
ONAGRACE.E. 
Ludwig ia jussiaeoides Lam. ( p. 619). “Hab. Caldera, Mindanao, one of the 
Philippine Islands.” The specimen is apparently Ludwigia prostrata Roxb.
