Rendle, A. B. New Philippine Plants. (Jour n. Bot. 34 (1896) pp. 355-358.) 
A short paper based on collections made by John Whitehead in the high- 
lands on northern Luzon and in Mindoro, Mount “Dulangau” (correctly

Hook, f., Burmannia longifolia Becc., Platyclvnis latifolia Hemsl., Litsaea 
villosa Blume, Gaultheria borneensis Stapf, Rhododendron cuneifolium Stapf

for the first time, and Vaccinium mindorense, Rhododendron lussoniense, R. 
whiteheadi, R. subsessile, Microstylis mindorensis and Zeuxine whiteheadi 
are described as new. Of the above Cephalotaxus mannii Hook, f., can be 
excluded, the identification having been made from sterile material, and Mr. 
Rendle informs us that he now considers the plant to be Taxus baccatus subsp. 
wallichicma (Zuec. ) Pilger.
