Excerpt from An Enumeration of Philippine Flowering Plants, Vol. 1 No attempt has been made to cite all the collections and numbers, as this procedure would have added enormously to the extent of the present publication and would have added very little to its value. In general, well-known and widely distributed species are merely enumerated with their synonyms, occurrence, distribution, etc., without the citation of specimens. In critical groups selected representative specimens only are cited. Generally speaking, when only one or two collections are cited under a species these represent the only collections extant. It Should be noted that in approximately cases Philippine records for individual species are based solely on Single collections, while in about 900 additional cases individual species records are based on two collections only. This will give some idea of the great amount of work still remaining to be done before we can hope to have a reasonably complete knowledge of the very rich Philippine flora. Collections cited in parentheses - for example, (warbufrg 14231) (loher 4250) indicate specimens not examined by me during the actual prep aration of this work, although most of these were seen by me in various European herbaria in 1907 and 1908.
