A set of 400 plants said (by Colmeiro) to have been collected by Blanco and Llanos is at [[Collection MA|MA]], some duplicates are probably at [[Collection G|G]]. Merrill distributed newly collected representative specimens as *Species Blancoanae*. IH lists Blanco specimens in [[Collection FI|FI]]. *Ref*.: IH 1 (ed. 6): 356, 2: 78. - Candolle, Phytographie 397. 1880. #### Bibliography and biography Barnhart 1: 198; BL 1: 122; BM 1: 172, 6: 97; Bossert p. 41; IF p. 681; Kew 1: 265; MW p. 44. - Ivan, Rev. bot.

(Fernandez-Villar is responsible for text p. 1-212 and from *Fimbristylis subbispicata* on p. 307 to 375; Naves is the author p. 213-307, ending with *Fimbristylis nutans*). Covers are missing in the MO copy from fascicle 14A onwards; data on later fascicles from Merrill, Philip. J. Sci. 12: 13-16. 1917.). Only text of the deluxe edition (500 copies printed on better paper) have been seen, even though two copies of the volumes of plates from the economy edition have been reviewed (HU, US). The collation of the text above is from the MO copy which has most of the original fascicle covers bound in place, the only such copy we have seen. Comparison of this copy with the one described by Merrill, which also had covers, reveals two inexplicable differences. In volume two, Merrill reports a double fascicle numbered "6-7" but the MO copy omits fascicles six to eight altogether, without any break in pagination. Similarly, in the fourth volume, Merrill records a double fascicle "9A-10A" but the MO copy has fascicles "10A-11A" issued together in one cover. **Plates present** MO: ("edición de lujo," "Gran edición") 1, 3-15, 17-43, \*43-61, 63-64, 66, 68-73, 73-76, 78-86, 86-91, 93-94, 94-100, 100, 102, 104-106, 108-131, 131-138, 138-167, 167-168, 170-176, 176-185, 187-210, 210-226, 226-255, 257-326, 328-403, 403-414, 414-415, 415-426, 426-427, 427-428, 428-429, 429-468.

See Merrill, E. D. Philip J. Sci. 12: 113-116. 1917, for analysis of this copy (destroyed during World War II?). \* Duplicated numbers indicate two plates, depicting two different species, with same plate-number. The plates cause special problems because each of the sets we have seen differs in the plates present. The non-color printing was all done in Manila and the printed illustrations for the deluxe edition shipped to Barcelona for the application of color, or perhaps the plates themselves were sent there so that the color illustrations in the deluxe edition were done entirely in Spain. Besides lacking color, the plates of the economy edition have the plate numbers printed on each plate; the color plates in the deluxe edition are not numbered, although each of the copies we have seen has plate numbers added in pencil from a list in volume four of the species arranged by families. Some errors may have occurred in this number-transfer, but confusion is profound even if every number was faithfully copied onto its plate. The plates in the economy edition for the most part (random checking only) duplicate the colored ones but even this is not uniform, and in at least one instance the two versions differ by some obvious but unimportant details in the parts depicted. The US set of plates is the most complete one seen. *Ref*.: BM 1: 172; GF p. 50; Kew 1: 182; MW p. 44; NI 170; PR 828; SK p. clxxi; SO 845c-e; IDC 5850. - Hasskarl, Flora 47: 16-29, 49-59. 1864. - Merrill, A review of the identifications of the species described in Blanco's Flora de Filipinas. 1905.
