Robins. 1885, October 18, 1913, in forests, altitude 20 to 250 meters, locally 

 known as kahunar. 



Amboina, Celebes, Bum, Ceram, and New Guinea. 



RUTACEAE 



TRIPHASIA Loureiro 



TRIPHASIA TRI FOLIA (Burm. f.) P. Wils. in Torreya 9 (1909) 33. 



Limonia trifolia Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 103. 



Limonia trifoliata Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 237. 



Triphasia trifoliata DC. 1 (1824) 536. 



Triphasia aurantiola Lour. Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 153. 

 Amboina, near the town of Amboina and at Ayer putri, Rel. Robins. 1767, 

 July 29 and 30, 1913, in light woods at low altitudes. 



The probabilities are that this species has been introduced into Amboina 

 since Rumphius's time. It is now of very wide distribution in the Indo- 

 Malayan region, but is, I believe, very generally an introduced plant, 

 although now spontaneous, and in some regions even dominant. 



SIMARUBACEAE 



QUASSIA Linnaeus 



QUASSIA AMARA Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1762) 553. 



Amboina, Rel. Robins. 1765, from cultivated plants in the town of Am- 

 boina, said to have been introduced from Timor. A native of tropical 

 America, now widely cultivated in the tropics. 



BURSERACEAE 



CANARIUM Linnaeus 

 CANARIUM sp. 



Amboina, Wae, Rel. Robins. 18J.6, November 26, 1913, in light forests, 

 altitude about 20 meters, locally known as nanari laki laki. 



The specimen presents only staminate flowers, and in the absence of 

 pistillate flowers and fruits I am unable to place it in its proper section; 

 it may even prove to be referable to Santiria.
