Candidates for neotypification of Blanco's names of Philippine plants: specimens in the U.S. National Herbarium

Summary Nicolson, D. H. & Arculus, D.: Candidates for neotypification of Blanco’s names of Philippine plants: specimens in the U.S. National Herbarium. – Taxon 50: 947–954. 2001. – ISSN 0040-0262. Evidence suggests that of the widely distributed sets of E. D. Merrill’s “illustrative specimens” for F. M. Blanco’s names of Philippine plants, the first, most complete, and best labelled extant set is the one at the U.S. National Herbarium. Workers considering neotypification of Blanco’s plant names should give special consideration to the materials at US.
