FRUTICOSA (Linn.) Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. (1917) 137 (Con-
vallaria fruticosa Linn.).
ihe Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco, but
the specific name fruticosa, is older. It occurs in the Philippines
only as a cultivated plant. It was probably of prehistoric in-
troduction in the Philippines, but was possibly not introduced
until after the Spanish occupation of the Archipelago. It occurs
throughout the Archipelago in the settled areas, but is nowhere
wild.
