*i. c > 6 Merrill: Reliquiae Robinsonianae 271 



Perhaps an undescribed species', but the specimens present only staminate 

 flowers, and I cannot place it with certainty by the published descriptions 

 alone. It is apparently not one of the forms described by Rumphius. 



HORSFIELDIA Willdenow 



HORSFIELDIA BIVALVIS (Hook, f.) comb. nov. 



Myristica bivalvis Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 5 (1886) 107. 

 Myristica globularia Blume Rumphia 1 (1836) 190, non Lam. 

 Horsfieldia globularia Warb. in Nov. Act. Akad. Naturf. 68 (1897) 

 288, t. 21, f. 1-b. 

 Amboina, Hitoe messen, and Lateri, Rel. Robins. 1878, November, 1913, 

 in forests, altitude 75 to 250 meters. 



I consider that Myristica globularia Blume (1825) is invalidated by 

 M. globularia Lam. (1788) and have accordingly adopted Hooker's specific 

 name bivalvis for this species. 



HORSFIELDIA sp. 



Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel. Robins. 1874, November 1, 1913, in forested 

 ravines, altitude about 100 meters. The specimen is in fruit, and does not 

 appear to be any of the forms described by Rumphius. I cannot definitely 

 refer it to any described species. 



MONIMIACEAE 



KIBARA Endlicher 



KIBARA MOLUCCANA Perk, in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. 45 (1911) 425. 



Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel. Robins. 1855, 1918, October 13, 1913, in 

 forests, altitude about 200 meters. 



The species is known only from Amboina. 



LAURACEAE 



PHOEBE Nees 



PHOEBE MACROPHYLLA Blume Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. 1 (1851) 326. 

 Persea macrophylla Blume Bijdr. (1825) 568. 



Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel. Robins. 1997, October 14, 1913, in light 

 forests, altitude 175 meters, locally known as halaor batu. 



Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Java. 



LITSEA Lamarck 



LITSEA PERROTTETII (Blume) F.-Vill. Novis. App. (1880) 180. 

 Tetranthera perrottetii Blume Mus. Bot. 1 (1851) 384. 



Amboina, Wae, Rel. Robins. 1996, November 25, 1913, along roadsides 

 at low altitudes, locally known as daun titti utan. 



The specimen closely matches Litsea perrottetii F.-Vill., which is very 

 common and widely distributed in the Philippines; some of the leaves 

 average slightly larger than in Philippine material, and some of the racemes 

 are longer, but I can detect no essential differences. Previously known 

 from the Philippines, where it extends from northern Luzon to southern 

 Mindanao, and Celebes (Hose 796).
