Amboina, Amahoesoe, Rel. Robins. 1811, August 30, 1913, in light woods 

 at an altitude of about 2 meters, locally known as sayor garing. 



The Amboina specimen certainly represents the same species as the 

 common and widely distributed Philippine form. The species is rather 

 variable in vegetative characters, and I have specimens of what I take to 

 be exactly the same form from Formosa and Indo-China. Gamble ' expresses 

 some doubt as to whether or not the plant that occurs in Burma, the Malay 

 Peninsula, and Sumatra is identical with the Philippine form, and retains 

 the specimens from those regions under the name Champereia griffithiana 

 Planch. Philippine material referred to Planchon's species by various 

 authors is certainly Champereia manillana (Blume) Merr. The genus, 

 at least, has not previously been reported from the Moluccas.

I do not agree with Moquin in regard to the synonymy of this species, 

 as between the two forms indicated by him as Pupalia atropurpurea and 

 Pupalia lappacea. I interpret the type of the Linnean species as Fl. Zeyl. 

 103, and Hermann's specimen is Pupalia atropurpurea Moq.; see Trimen 

 Fl. Ceyl. 3 (1895) 399. 



Widely distributed in tropical Africa, Asia, and Malaya.
