. The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco.
This enormously variable species is very generally cultivated
throughout the Philippines for ornamental purposes, a large
number of forms, both as to shape and color of the leaves being
found. None of the forms, however, is native to the Archi-
pelago, and they are never found wild. No. 1062, cited below,
is the particular form that Blanco described. Dr. Leon Ma.
Guerrero informs me that this Was the only form found in
Manila gardens up to about .the ..year 18S0-
Illustrative specimen from Manila, Luzon, January, 1915
(Merrill: Species Blancoanae Nos. 77#T 1062).
