xi.c.e Merrill: Reliquiae Robinsonianae 281 



POLYGALACEAE 



EPIRIXANTHES Blume 



EPIRIXANTHES ELONGATA Blume Cat. (1825) 82. 



Ameoina, Hatiwe, Rel. Robins. 1666, September 15, 1913, altitude about 

 300 meters. 



Previously known from the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, and Java. 

 The generic name is variously spelled Epirhizanthes, Epirhizanthus, Epirhi- 

 zanthe, and finally Epirrhizanthes, the last adopted by Penzig, in Ann. 

 Jard. Bot. Buitenz. 17 (1901) 146, as the philologically correct form. 

 The original spelling, as proposed by Blume, is here retained. 



SALOMON I A Loureiro 



SALOMON I A CANTON I ENSIS Lour. Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 14. 



Amboina, Batoe mera, Rel. Robins, 1665, July 18, 1913, in rocky soil, 

 altitude 15 to 25 meters, locally known as daun alus bunga. 



Widely distributed in tropical Asia and Malaya. 



POLYGALA Linnaeus 



POLYGALA POLI FOLIA Presl Rel. Haenk. 2 (1835) 101. 



Polygala warburgii Chod. ex Warb. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. 13 (1891) 346. 



Amboina, Soja road, Rel. Robins. 152, August 1, 1913, hillsides, altitude 

 150 to 250 meters. 



Previously known only from the Philippines, Carolines, and New Guinea. 

 The type of Presl's species was from Luzon, not from Brazil as indicated 

 in Index Kewensis, and Polygala warburgii Chod. is identical with it. 



EUPHORBIACEAE 



PHYLLANTHUS Linnaeus 



PHYLLANTHUS RETICULATUS Poir. in Lam. Encycl. 5 (1804) 298. 

 Bali, Boeleleng, Rel. Robins. 2520, July 7, 1913. 

 Tropical Africa, Asia, and Malaya. 



PHYLLANTHUS sp. 



Amboina, Eri, Rel. Robins. 170U, August 30, 1913. 



An undershrub about 0.3 m high, representing a characteristic, perhaps 

 undescribed species, but unfortunately our material presents only pistillate 

 flowers. It represents a species allied to the Philippine Phyllanthus lan- 

 cifolius Merr. and P. macgregorii C. B. Rob., but is distinct from both. 



GLOCHIDION Forster 



GLOCHIDION BREYNIOIDES C. B. Rob. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) 

 Bot. 95. 



Amboina, Koesoekoesoe sereh, Rel. Robins. 1712, October 3, 1913, in light 

 woods, altitude about 225 meters. 



The Amboina specimen differs from the type of the species in its some- 

 what larger leaves and larger staminate flowers but is apparently a form
