HYPO ESTES R. Brown	.
Justicia viridis Blanco PI. Filip. (1837) 15; ed. 2 (1845) 11; ed. 3, 1 (1877)
21, non Forsk., nee Gill. = HYPO ESTES CINEREA C. B. Clarke.
Blanco’s conception of justicia viridis was reduced by
Fernandez-Villar to Hypoestes laxiftora Nees, a Philippine spe-
cies, but one that does not grow in the region from which Blanco
secured his specimens (Malinta, near Manila). In my previous
consideration of Blanco’s species it was reduced to Hypoestes
malaccensis Wight, as H. totalaemims Wight, after
so identified by Lindau in Perkins Frag. FI. Philip. (1
However, the specimens so named by Lindau are identical
H. cinerea C. B. Clarke. This is the only species of the
that grows near Manila, and Blanco’s description agrees
the specimens. Blanco’s description typifies Dicliptera
Hassk. in Flora 47 (1864) 54.
Illustrative specimen from Masambong (near Manila)
Province, Luzon, December, 1914 (Merrill: Species
No. 722).
