naceae by W. Ruhland ; Gramineae by C. Mez and R. Pilger; Piperaceae by

Perkins, J. Zwei neue Meliaceen. (Notizblatt Kgl. Bot. Gart. und Mus. Berlin 
(1903) pp. 78-79.) 
Aglaia harmsiama and Gipadessa warburgii are described, the descriptions 
being translated into English in Perk. Frag. FI. Philip. (1904) 30, 32. 
Perkins, J., and Gilg, E. Monemiaceae. (Das Pflanzenreich 4 (1901) pp. 1-122.) 
Thirty-one genera are recognized, but no representative of the entire 
family is cited from the Philippines. Since the publication of the work 
Kihara ellipsoidea, K. depauperata, K. grandi folia, and Matthaea chartacea 
have been described by Merrill. Kihara coriacea was previously credited to 
the Philippines by Rolfe, and Matthaea sancta by Geron. 
Pfitzer, E. Orehidaceae-Pleonandrae. (Das Pflanzenreich 12 (1903) pp. 1-132.) 
Neuwiedia veratrifolia Blume and N. zollingeri Reichb. f., are credited to 
Luzon with doubt, and Apostasia wallichii R. Br., as perhaps growing in 
Luzon; Paphiopedilum rothschildianum (Reichb. f. ) Pfitz., var. elliotianum 
(O’Brien) Pfitz., P. philippinense (Reichb. f. ) Pfitz., and the variety platy- 
taenium Desb., P. roebbelinii (Reichb. f.) Pfitz., P. haynaldianum (Reichb. f.) 
Pfitz., P. argus (Reichb. f. ) Pfitz., and P. ciliolare (Reichb. f. ) Pfitz., all 
endemic except the last one, which is also found in the Malayan Peninsula. 
Pilger, R. Taxaceae. (Das Pflanzenreich, 18 (1903) pp. 1-124.) 
Of this family the following species are credited to the Philippines : 
Dacrydium falciforme (Pari.) Presl, Borneo and Mindoro; D. elatum (Roxb.) 
Wall., Malaya, Mindoro; Podocarpus imbricatus Blume, var. cumingii (Pari.) 
Pilger, the variety endemic, the species from Burma to Malaya; D. costalis 
Presl, endemic; Phyllocladus protractus (Warb. ) Pilger, Philippines, Moluc- 
cas and New Guinea; Taxus baccata subsp. wallichiaMa (Zucc.) Pilger, 
British India to Malaya and Celebes, other forms widely distributed in 
tropical and temperate regions of the World. Since the publication of the 
monograph several additional species of Podocarpus have been found in the 
Philippines, some identical with previously described species of the Malayan 
region, others undescribed. 
Prain, D. Novieae Indicae XVIII. — The Asiatic Species of Dalbergia. (Journ. 
As. Soc. Beng. 70 (1901) part 2, pp. 39-65.) 
Seventy-four species of the genus are recognized, of which the following 
five are credited to the Philippines: Dalbergia poVyphylla Benth, endemic; 
D. tamarindifolia Roxb., Himalayan region to Malaya and Luzon; D. cande- 
natensis (Dennst.) Prain (D. torta Grah.) western India to Malaya, Poly- 
nesia and Australia; D. ferrugmea Roxb., Malaya, Philippines, New Guinea, 
and D. cumingiana Benth., endemic. 
Prain, D. A List of the Asiatic Species of Ormosia. (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 69 
(1900) part 2, pp. 175-186.) 
Twenty-two species of the genus are recognized, of which only one is found 
in the Philippines, the endemic Ormosia calavensis Blanco. A second Philip- 
pine species, Ormosia paniculata Merr., has since been described, Philip.
