SALACIA Linnaeus
Salacia ajE»i Blanco PL Filip. (1837) 26; ed. 2 (1845) 19; ed. 3, 1
(1877) 36, t. 86, non Gmel.=SALACIA PRINOiDES DC.
Comoefadia serrata Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 30 (sp. nov.) = SALACIA
PRINOIDES (Willd.) DC.
there is no doubt whatever but that the plant Blanco described
as Solatia sinensis is a Solatia, but the medicinal properties he
ascribed to it apparently being with Siphonodon celastrineus
Griff.; this may account for Blanco’s description of the plant
as an “arbcriito,” rather than as a scandent shrub which it really
is. Comocladia serrata was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to
Solatia oblonga Wall., which is correct as to the genus but cer-
tainly wrong as to the species, for Salacm oblonga Wall, is not
known to extend to the Philippines. The species is not included
in the second or in the third edition of the Flora de Filipinas.
From th^fata given by Blanco I have no hesitation in reducing
the spe($BHy| Salacia prmoides DC., as that species is currently
Illustrative^,specimen from Malampaya Bay, Palawan, May,
(Merrill Species Bhsmcoame Nb. ¿7t) .
