Gray, Asa. Characters of New or Obscure Species of Plants of the Monopetalous 
Orders in the Collection of the United States South Pacific Exploring Expedi- 
tion under Captain Charles Wilkes, U. S. N., with Occasional Remarks, etc. 
(Proc. Am. Acad. 5 (1862.) 
On page 324 a single species from the Philippines is described, Gaultheria 
( Diplycosia ) luzonica = Diplyoosia luzonica (A. Gray) Merr. 
Harms, H. Anomopanax Harms, Eine im Herbar des Mus. Bot. Hort. Bogoriensis 
entdeckte neue Araliaceen-Gattung. {Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg II. 4 (1904) 
pp. 13-16.) 
The new araliaceous genus Anomopanax is described, with three species, 
two, A. celebicus and A. icarburgii from Celebes, the third, A. philippinensis, 
from Mindanao. 
Hasskarl, J. K. Ueber einige neue Pflanzen der Pliilippinen aus der Cumingschen 
Sammlung. (Flora, 38 (1865) pp. 401-403.) 
Three species are described: Anredera cumingii Hassle. ( = A. scandens 
Moq. ), Symphorema glabrum Hassle. (-=.$. luzonicum (Blanco) F.-Vill.) and

Hemsley, W. Botting. Revision of the Synonomy of the Species of Aleurites. 
(Keto Bull. (1906) pp. 119-121.) 
Four species of Aleurites are considered in connection with a preceding 
article on the source of Chinese wood-oil, A. oordata R. Br., Japan to Formosa 
and south China, A. fordii Hemsl., China, A. triloba Forst. (A. moluccana 
(L.) Willd.) Malaya and Polynesia and naturalized in many other tropical 
countries, and A. trisperma Blanco. The last two, are common and widely 
distributed in the Philippines, the latter being endemic. 
Laguna y Villanueva, Maximo. Apuntes sobre un nuevo roble (Q. jordanae) de 
la flora de Filipinas (1875) pp. 1-8, with plate. 
In this work, all the species of Quercus then known from the Philippines 
are enumerated, and on page 7 Quercus jordanae is described, with a plate 
showing a branch and fruit, natural size. 
Massee, George. Revision of the Genus Hemileia Berk. (Kew Bull. (1906) pp. 
35-42, with one plate.) 
Four species are recognized, of which one, H. vastatrix Berk. & Broome, the 
cause of the devastating coffee-leaf disease, is credited to the Philippines, on 
leaves of Goffea arabica L., and G. liberica Hiern. (It is abundant on the 
leaves of the former throughout the Philippines, and has practically killed 
the coffee industry in the Archipelago.) 
Maxon, William R. A New Name for Kaulfussia Blume, a Genus of Maratta- 
ceous Ferns. (Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash. 18 (1905) pp. 239-240.) 
The new generic name Ghristensenia is proposed, Kaulfussia Blume being 
invalidated by earlier use of the same name by Dennstedt and NCe.s in the 
Polygalacece and Composites. A single species is recognized, Ghristensenia 
cesculifolia (Blume) Maxon. The genus is represented in the Philippines by 
a distinct species, C. cumingiana Christ. 
Moore, Spencer le M. Alabastra Diversa, Part XII. ( Journ . Bot. 43 (1905) 
pp. 137-150.) 
Among various species described from different parts of the World are 
three from the Philippines, Aster philippinensis from northern Luzon, and 
Pogostemon philippinensis from Luzon and Panay, and Crassocephalum 
latifolium from Negros.
