STACHYTARPHETA Vahl 

 STACHVTARPHETA JAMAICENSIS (Linn.) Vahl Enum. 1 (1805) 206. 

 Verbena jamaicensis Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 19. 

 Stachytarpheta indica Vahl Enum. 1 (1805) 206. 

 Amboina, Rel, Robins. 1868, August 20, 1913, near the town of Am- 

 boina, very common, locally known as biana blau. Bali, Boeleleng, Rel. 

 Robins. 252k, July 7, 1913. 



A native of tropical America, now found in all tropical countries. 



STACHYTARPHETA MUTABILIS (Jacq.) Vahl Enum. 1 (1805) 209. 

 Verbena tnutabilis Jacq. Coll. 2 (1788) 334. 

 Amboina, Batoe batoe, Rel. Robins. 1869, August 25, 1913, along road- 

 sides. 



A native of tropical America, now found in India, Java, Queensland, 

 and tropical Africa. 



LIPPIA Linnaeus 



LIPPIA NODI FLORA (Linn.) Rich, in Michx. PI. Bor. Am. 2 (1803) 15. 

 Verbena nodiftora Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 20. 

 Amboina, Rel. Robins. 1868, September 13, 1913, in waste places about 

 the town of Amboina.

VITEX Linnaeus 



VITEX PUNCTATA Schauer in DC. Prodr. 11 (1847) 687. 



Vitex hollrungii Warb. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. 18 (1893) 208. 



Amboina, Paso, Rel. Robins. 1867, November 25, 1913, near the beach, 

 almost among the mangrove trees. 



The type of Vitex punctata Schauer was from the Moluccas, and the 

 Amboina specimen cited above agress perfectly with the description. Vitex 

 hollrungii Warb., of New Guinea, of which a fragment of the type collection 

 is before me, impresses me as being identical with the Amboina material, 

 and the species is accordingly reduced to the much older Vitex punctata 

 Schauer. 



CLERODENDRON Linnaeus 



CLERODENDRON MACROSTEGIUM Schauer in DC. Prodr. 11 (1847) 

 666. 



Amboina, Halong, Rel. Robins. 186k, September 26, 1913, in forests at 

 an altitude of about 250 meters. 



I cannot distinguish this from the common Luzon and Mindoro form, 

 and believe that it represents the same species. It has already been re- 

 ported from Ceram by Miquel in Ann. Mus. Lugd.-Bat. 3 (1867) 253.
