PLANTS FROM BATANES AND BABUYANES ISLANDS.

The oldest specific name is here adopted for this common and widely distributed 
species. Linnaeus 7 first cites FI. Zeyl. 53, in his description of the species, but 
adds other references, at least one of which represents a different species. Trimen 8 
however, states under Sarcocephalus cordatus Miq., “Hermann’s drawing (there 
is no specimen) is certainly this; which fixes Linnaeus’s Nauclea orientalis as 
originally the same.”
