168 MR. S. KURZ ON A NEW GENUS OF MORACEE. 
Blume; and Sloetia Sideroxylon, T. et B. The last of these, 
Sloetia Sideroxylon, has received no further notice from Teijs- 
mann and Binnendyk, that I can find, beyond this indication of 
the name. Its history is interesting. In the first place, it is the 
Artocarpus elongatus, Miq., in the Supplement to the ‘Flora 
Indie Batave,’ p.419, a species described from specimens sent 
by Mr. Teijsmann from Sumatra. Living specimens were also 
taken by Mr. Teijsmann to the Botanic Garden, Buitenzorg, 
where they have grown to the height of 25 or 30 feet. They 
have produced flowers, from which Mr. Kurz has drawn up the 
generic description. I have found this species also at Singapore, 
in a few of the dense forests that still exist on the island; and 
specimens in flower, and immature fruit, are in the Herbarium of 
the Caleutta Botanic Garden. 
Mr. Kurz was enabled to identify the plant with Professor 
Miquel’s Artocarpus elongatus (vide supra et infra) by a set of 
Mr. Teijsmann’s Sumatran collections having been kept in the 
Herbarium of the Buitenzorg Botanic Garden, while a set, cor- 
respondingly numbered, was sent to Utrecht. The specimen of 
this species sent to Professor Miquel probably contained no 
female flowers. If ovaries had been present, they would have 
attracted his notice, and shown the generic distinctness of the 
plant from Artocarpus.
