Melochia supina Linn, was correctly interpreted by BlcUico,
but it is a synonym of M. concatenata Linn., which has page
priority over both M. corchorifolia Linn, and M. supina Linn.
The same form ..was otherwise describe«} by Blanco as a new
species, Geruma subtriloba Blanco, which was correctly reduced
by Fernandez-Villar. It is very common and widely distributed
in the settled areas of the Philippines at low rand medium
altitudes.
