Freycinetia luzonensis Presl Epimel. Bot. (1851)' 238. 
A sterile specimen, 10476, is on vegetative characters, the best match for 
the type of this species that has yet been collected. As some discussion has 
been caused by a previous note 1 of mine, I wish to clear up that side of the matter. 
When that was written, the material at. the New York Botanical Garden consisted 
of several recent collections, chiefly from Bataan, and a sheet of Cuming 1455, 
the type number of F. luzonensis, sent to me for identification by Prof. Wm. 
Trelease of the Missouri Botanical Garden. I decided correctly that the Bataan 
collections were not F. luzonensis Presl, but fell into the error of believing 
that they would fall under that species as interpreted by Warburg in the 
Pflanzenreich. I did not take up F. cumingiana Gaudich. because of alleged 
priority, for I consider that the absence of description invalidates its claims. 
But I did think that F. cumingiana represented the Bataan plants and therefore 
my conception of F. luzonensis Warb. ; so I attempted to publish it not for 
Presl’s species, but by referring to it Warburg’s description. There is no doubt 
at all that Warburg correctly interpreted Presl. Nomenclaturally, therefore, 
my error has in no way altered the status of either name, but the plants then 
referred to F. cumingiana were, with one exception, F. robinsonii Merr. F. luzo- 
nensis is only known from the Province of Camarines and Polillo. 
Freycinetia monocephala Elmer Leafl. Philip, Bot. 1 (1907) 218. 
Otherwise known only from Rizal and Tayabas, 104 77. 
Freycinetia montalbanica Martelli in Webbia 3 (1910) 18. 
From description and comparison with photographs of the type, it seems 
best to identify with this 9209, 10475, and 10478. The only conspicuous dif- 
ference is in the internodes, which in the Polillo plants are about 15 mm long. 
The plants were erect-scandent with falcately spreading branches, the leaves 
range in length from 18 to 40 cm, the largest syncarps are 4 cm long and 2.5 
cm in diameter. For.. Bur., 22192 Alvarez, northeastern Nueva Ecija, is iden- 
tical with the Polillo collections. Almost certainly, other material from Cama- 
rines Province is referable here. The type of the species is from Rizal Province.
