MERRILL. 
DIOSCOREACEJE (p. 86). 
Dioscorea divaricata Blanco ed. 1, 797; ed. 2, 550. Apparently a distinct 
species; see Merrill in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 35. 
LILIACEji (p. 87). 
Smilax latifolia Blanco ed. 2, 548, non R. Br. = Smilax vicaria Kth. ! 
Apparently a distinct species; see Merrill in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) 
Suppl. 35. 
PANDANACEiE (p. 89). 
Pandanus gracilis Blanco ed. 1, 778; ed. 2, 536. The species recently de- 
scribed by the author, Pandanus whitfordii Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. 17 (1904) 
8, may prove to be identical with Blanco’s species although it does not agree in 
habit with the form described by Blanco. 
Pandanus exaltatus Blanco ed. 1, 778; ed. 2, 536. Manifestly two species 
are included in the description. The mountain form is doubtless the one I have 
described as Pandanus arayatensis, and I have identified as Blanco’s species a 
coast form from Semerara Island; 
Pandanus radicans Blanco ed. 1, 780; ed. 2, 537. This is not the same as 
P. dubius Spreng., but apparently a valid species as redescribed by Elmer, Leaflets 
Philip. Bot. (1906) 74. 
GRAMINE2E (p. 91). 
Paspalum villosum Blanco ed. 1, 40; ed. 2, 28, non Thunb. I am now of the 
opinion that this is a form of Paspalum scrobiculatum Linn. 
Andropogon ramosus Blanco, ed. 1, 37;.ed. 2, 25, non Fovsh. = Ischaemum 
rugosum var. distachyum (Cav. ) Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 
330. 
Cenchrus hexaflorus Blanco ed. 1, 36; ed. 2, 24. This was previously 
reduced by me to Pennisetum macrostacliyum Brongn., but I am now of the 
opinion that it is the same as Pennisetum compression R. Br. 
Andropogon schoenanthus Linn,, Blanco ed. 1, 39; ed 2, 27. I have con- 
sidered (Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 339) that Blanco described the 
Linnean species, but it ig impossible to be quite sure of this until flowering speci- 
mens are received.
