3, 3 (1879) 109, t. 206.
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It
was first introduced into the Philippines, according to Blanco,
by Father Sedeño in the year 1593, and again in 1780 by Father
M. Galiana. The species is widely distributed in towns through-
out the Archipelago, but apparently has become naturalized only
in northern Luzon, Cagayan Province, etc. It is locally known
under its Spanish name morera.
