HIPTAGE Gaertner
f rtopteris jamaicenili Blanco Pt- Filip. (1837) 350; ed. 2 (1845) 267; ed.
; 3, 2 (1878) 133, non Linn.=HIPTAGE LOHERI Merr. hom. nov.
Blanco’s Triopteris jamaicensis was reduced by Kernandez-
Villar to Hiptage madablota Gaertn., which is certainly correct
ms to the genus, but wiong as to the species; Gaertner’s species
is unknown from the Philippines. I am convinced that I am
correct in interpreting Triopteris jamaicensis Blanco as that
species of Hiptage which is found in the vicinity of Manila.
Blanco cites specimens from Malinta, Rizal Province, Luzon, and
from Cefrijf; thei^tter doubtless the form recently described by
Mr. Elmer as Hyptage cebuensis. Hiptage loheri is very closely
allied to H. jmanica Blume, and the specimens I now refer to
H. loheri were previously reported by me as H. javanica Blume.
The following specimens from Rizal Province, Luzon, I now
riefer to H. loheri: Loher 5768, 5786, 5789, Merrill 170U, 501*6, _
For. Bur. 420, 2660 Ahern’s collector.
