CHISOCHITON Blume 

 CHISOCHITON sp. 



Amboina, Hitoe lama, Rel. Robins, 1995, October 11, 1913, in forests, 

 altitude about 150 meters. 



The specimen presents only immature fruits, and is hence not further 

 determinable except by comparison with authentically named specimens. 

 It appears to have indehiscent fruits and to belong with that group of 

 species placed by C. DeCandolle in the genus Dasycoleum. 



AGLAIA Loureiro 



AGLAIA MULTIFOLIOLA Me'rr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 9 (1914) Bot. 534. 



Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel Robins. 1990, October 8, 1913, in forests, 

 altitude about 150 meters. 



The specimen closely matches the type of the species, which is closely 

 allied to Aglaia argentea Blume. The only other localities known for 

 Aglaia multiflora are Basilan and southwestern Mindanao, in the Phil- 

 ippines. 



AGLAIA MIQUELII nom. nov. 



Aglaiopsis glaucescens Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. 4 (1868) 59, 



non Aglaia glaucescens King. 

 Hearnia glaucescens C. DC. Monog. Phan. 1 (1878) 631. 

 Amboina, Batoe merah, Rel. Robins. 1992, August 24, 1913, in ravines, 

 altitudes about 200 meters; Amahoesoe, Rel. Robins. 1993, September 16, 

 1913, in light forest, altitude about 70 meters. 



Reported by Miquel from various parts of the Moluccas and from New 

 Guinea, but the New Guinea specimens have been referred by C. DeCandolle 

 to Aglaia novoguineensis C. DC. in Bull. Herb. Boiss. II 3 (1903) 173. 

 The specimens differ slightly from the species, as described, but I still 

 consider them referable here. Miquel's specific name glaucescens is in- 

 validated in Aglaia by Aglaia glaucescens King, hence the new one proposed 

 above. 



AGLAIA sp. 



Amboina, Hitoe lama, Rel. Robins. 1991, November 1, 1913, on limestone 

 formations in forests, altitude about 150 meters, locally known as lolan 

 puti and lansa utan. 



The specimen represents a very characteristic species with a greatly 

 reduced inflorescence, but the flowers are too young to warrant further 

 identification of the specimens at this time. 



MALPIGHIACEAE 



RYSSOPTERIS Blume 



RYSSOPTER1S TIMORIENSIS (DC.) Blume ex A. Juss. in Deless. Ic. Sel- 

 3 (1837) 21. 



Banisteria timoriensis DC. Prodr. 1 (1824) 588. 

 Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel Robins. 2007, November 1, 1913, on trees at 

 an altitude of about 150 meters. 



Definitely reported from Java and Timor.
