This" species is common and widely distributed in the Philip-
pines at low altitudes, and Blanco’s description of both C. nemo-
rosa and C. linearis apply fairly closely to the Philippine form
so interpreted. In a note following the description of Capparis
nemorosa he unmistakably describes the true C. micracantha DC.,
which is commonly known to the Tagalogs as halobagat, and
which is common and widely distributed in the Philippines at low1
altitudes. Fernandez-Villar reduced Capparis linearis Blanco
to C. viminea Hook. f. & Th., a species that does not extend
to the Philippines. Although Blanco’s description is very short,.,
incomplete, and entirely unsatisfactory, I have no doubt but
thathe hadmerely a'form oî Ç+ horrida Linn.	.
