Remijia odorata Blanco ed. 2, 115. I am now of the opinion that F.-Villar 
was correct in referring this species to the widely distributed Randia densiflora 
(Wall.) Benth. 
Serissa pinnata Blanco, ed. 1, 163; Remijia oscura Blanco, ed. 2, 116 Pre- 
viously referred by me to Gardenia as a distinct species, G. pinnata (Blanco) 
Merr. The species is, however, identical with Hypobatherum glomeratum (Bartl.) 
K. Schum. as pointed out by K. Schumann in Engl, und Prantl Nat. Pflanzenfam. 
IV. 4 (1891) 156, the synonomy being as follows: Hypobatherum glomeratum 
(Bartl.) K. Sch. in Engl, und Prantl Nat. Pflanzenfam. IV. 4 (1891) 156; Elmer 
Leaflets Philip. Bot. 1 (1906) 8. Platymerium glomeratum Bartl. in DC. Prodr.

Pavetta membrenacea Blanco ed. 1, 59; Pavetta sambucina Blanco, ed. 2, 
41, non DC. Erroneously reduced by F.-Villar to Pavetta angustifolia R. et S. 
A distinct species represented by No. 1584 Merrill; Nos. B. S. 996, 1834 Ramos; 
Nos. 1862, 3309 Ahern’s collector. Pavetta manillensis Walp. (1843) is a 
synonym. Blanco’s name P. membrenacea .(1837) being the first published for 
the species. 
Coffea volubilis Blanco, ed. 1, 157; ed. 2, 111 = Morinda volubilis (Blanco)

Balingayum decumbens Blanco ed. 1, 187; ed. 2, 132 = Calogyne pilosa R. Br., 
or a closely related species, see Merrill Govt. Lab. Publ. 35 (1906) pp. 66-68, for 
a discussion of this previously doubtful genus, which was considered by Bentham 
and Hooker as belonging in the Olacacece and by F.-Villar as belonging in the 
Onagracece. 
SAPOTACE2E (p. 57). 
Sideroxylon duclitan Blanco ed. 1, 129; ed. 2, 92. Sideroxylon ramiflorum 
Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. 17 (1904) 43, should be reduced to Blanco’s species. 
OLEACE.E (p. 57). 
Mogorium aculeatum Blanco ed. 1, 9; ed. 2, 7= Jasminum aculeatum 
(Blanco). Walp. in. Linnaea 16 Litt.-Bericht 3, 12, Hassk. in Flora 47 (1864) 
50; Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. 35 (1905) 76. The transfer of the specific name to 
Jasminum was first made by Walpers fide Hasslcarl. The combination is not given 
in Index Kewensis. A full description of the species with synonomy is given by 
Merrill 1. c.
