    Ipomoea alba L.

Convolvulus muricatus Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 92; ed. 2 (1845) 68; ed.
3, 1 (1877) 127, t. 882, non Linil.= CALONICTYON ACULEATUM
(Linn.) House (C. bona-nox Boj.).
This species is J common and widely distributed in the settled
areas of the Philippines at low and medium,altitudes, is cer-
tainly an introduced plant in the Archipelago, and probably
originated in tropical America. Its nomenclature is rather com-
plicated, and it has many synonyms. The specific name adopted
by Doctor House seems to be the oldest valid one for the species.
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province Luzon
