MERRILL. 
A species closely allied to and possibly identical with Randia densi/lora (Wall.) 
Benth., the type of the genus Stylocoryna Cav. (not Stylocoryne Wight & 
Am.). The transfer to Randia is usually credited to Maximowiez, but F.-Villar’s 
combination has priority. The type was from Cavite Province, collected by Nee 
in 1793. The same form was also collected by llaenke, a colleague of Nee, speci- 
mens of whose exist in the Prague Herbarium and in the Berlin Herbarium, 
both of which I have examined!

Randia fitzalani Elm. Leafl. Philip. Bot. 1 (1906) 31; Merr. in Philip. Journ. 
Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 130, non F.-Muell. 
This species was reported from the Philippines by Ceron, 1. c., the identifica- 
tion of Vidal’s specimen having been made by Bolfe. After an examination of the 
material representing this species in the Kew Herbarium, I can see no reason 
for distinguishing the Philippine form from the species described by Hooker f. 
The Australian Randia fitzalani F. Muell., is different, and the Philippine form 
can not be referred to it. In addition to the numerous specimens from the 
Province of Bataan, cited by myself 1. e., under Randia fitzalani, and which must 
all be referred to R. wallichii, I have examined the following specimens : 
Luzon, Province of Benguet, Baguio, Elmer 5921, 5994, March, 1904: Province 
of Ilocos Sur, For. Bur. 5664 Klemme, November, 1906: Province of Zambales, 
Subic, Hallier, January, 1904; Botolan, Merrill 2988, June, 1903: Province of 
Principe, Baler, Merrill 1103, September, 1902: Province of Batangas, For. Bur.

The type of this species is Cuming 1503, given by Haviland through error as 
no. 503. I have examined the specimens collected by Cuming and Vidal in Herb. 
Kew, and the specimen collected by Haenke, type of Nauclea canescens Bartl., 
in Herb. Prague, as well as Elmer 8262, a specimen of which is in our Herbarium, 
as is fragment of Cuming 1503. Elmer’s specimen exactly matches Cuming’s, 
except that the former is in flower and the later in fruit. Haviland states 1. c., 
that he had not seen the type of Nauclea canescens, but that judging from the 
description, it appeared to be the same as Uncaria velutina. After an examina- 
tion of Haenke’s specimen I am able to affirm the identity of the two species. 
Bartling’s specific name, although the earliest one, is untenable in Uncaria on 
account of the later use of the same name by Korthals, for a different species. 
Endemic.
