MR. G. D. HAVILAND: REVISION OF THE NAUCLEER. 61 
Java (De Vriese). 
This may be but a variety of N.evcelsa. In the Leiden Herbarium 
none of the specimens are in flower; inthe Kew Herbarium is a flowering 
specimen with smaller leaves, in which the peduncles are shorter than in 
N. excelsa and the lateral ones are more diverging.

I have united Blume's two species N. obtusa and N. cordata; the 
latter name in any case could not stand, for N. cordata of Roxburgh is 
older. Korthals's description of N. obtusa clearly applies to var. (b) major, 
but some specimens of var. (a) minor collected by Blume himself are 
labelled N. obtusa, Miquel in Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. iv. 181 corrects 
his previous statements in his Fl. Ind. Bat., and describes the larger 
form as N. cordata and the smaller form as N. obtusa. Blume gives no 
measurements, and his descriptions are too brief.
