Blanco’s species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Ammonia
peploules Spreng.	=Rotala indieaKoehne, and this reduction I
considered as apparently correct in my previous paper on Blan-
co s species. However, Blanco’s description does not apply to
Rotate indica Koehne, but does apply to R. ramosior Koehne;
x?C18S are not uncommon in open wet places about Manila
and both are widely distributed in the Philippines. Ammannia
pent#ggps Llanos was considered by Fernandez-Villar to be the
s#^#£}	I	con-
sider it, however, to be the same as Rotala ramosior Koehne,
Rotate ramosior Koehne Was undoubtedly introduced into the
Philippines from Mexico through the medium of the Acapulco-
Mamla galleons.
