The Ljnnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It
was introduced from Mexico by the Spaniards at an early date
in colonial history either as an ornamental plant or for its medic-
inal properties. It is now widely distributed in the Philippines,
growing especially about buildings and in vacant lots in towns,
in waste places, etc.
