Hernandia nymphaeifolia (C.Presl) Kubitzki

HERNANDIA Linnaeus
Htrrn'artdia sonora Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 689; ed. 2 (1845) 478; ed. 3, 3
(1879) 93, non Linn.=HERNANDIA PELTATA Meissn.
This species is commonly distributed along the seashore from
central Luzon southward, but not as yet reported from the shores
of northern Luzon. Hernandia sonora Linn, was based on both
Oriental and occidental references, but the species is typified by
the American plant, so that Blanco was in part correct in refer--
ring the Philippine form, to H. sonora Linn. . H. peltata Meissn.
is Very closely allied to the older H. ovigera Linn., and may have
to be reduced to the Linnean species.
