IMPERATA Cyrilli
Saccharum koenigii Retz.; Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 44; ed. 2 (1845) 30; ed,
3, 1 (1877) 56=IMPERATA CYLINDRICA Beauv. var. KOENIGII
Benth.
In my previous paper on Blanco’s species I erroneously con-
sidered Blanco’s description of Saccharum koenigii to apply to
Saccharum spontaneum Linn. It occurs throughout thè settled
areas of the Philippines, where the forests have been destroyed,
practically occupying exclusively immense areas which are
locally known as cogonales, from the almost universal Filipino
name of the grass, cogon. Blanco’s description in part, “de la
altura de un hombre,” applies to Imperata exaitata Brongn.
Illustrative specimen from Taytay, Palawan, May, 1913 (Mer-
rill: Species Blancoanae No. 381).
