species, which is fully described and excellently figured, to Fagraea elliptica 

 Roxb. The Amboina specimens certainly represent Roxburgh's species, 

 which was originally described from Moluccan material, probably from 

 Amboina specimens. The description, which is wholly inadequate, follows: 

 "Leaves opposite, short-petioled, broad-elliptic, smooth, and firm. Corymbs 

 terminal, more than super-decompound. Tube of the corol cylindric. A 

 native of the Moluccas." 

 Java and Amboina.

Amboina, Silali, Rel. Robins. 2038, September 22, 1913, on coral rocks, 

 altitude about 40 meters. 



The form is the one designated by Hochreutiner as Cynoctonum mi- 

 treola (Linn.) Britt. var. orthocarpa Hochr. in Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 6 

 (1910) 284, i. e. strictly Mitreola oldenlandioides Wall. The species is 

 exceedingly variable, and is widely distributed in the tropics of both 

 hemispheres. 



GENIOSTOMA Forster 

 GENIOSTOMA sp. 



Amboina, Hatiwe, Rel. Robins. 20SU, September 15, 1913, a small tree, 

 about 5 m high, in light forests, altitude about 250 meters, locally known 

 as fcayu tai. 



Probably an undescribed species, but the specimen presents no flowers, 

 only very old fruits. The only species of the genus previously reported 

 from Amboina is Geniostoma moluccanum Valeton in Bull. Inst. Bot. 

 Buitenz. 12 (1902) 19, which, from the description, is a species entirely 

 different from the one represented by the specimen cited above.
