LUMNITZERA Willdenow 
LUMNITZERA LITTOREA (Jack.) Voigt Hort. Suburb. Cale. (1846) 39; 
Safford 312. 
Pyrrhanthus littoreus Jack Malay Miscel. 2 (1822) 57. 
Laguncularia purpurea Gaudich. Bot. Freyc. Voy. (1826) 481, t. 104. 
Lumnitzera pedicellata Pres] Rel. Haenk. 2 (1830) 23. 
McGregor 467, Mrs. Clemens s. n., G. E. S. 888, locally known as nafia. 
The species is very widely distributed along tropical shores from India 
to Polynesia. 
The types of both Lumnitzera pedicellata Pres] and Laguncularia pur- 
purea Gaudich. were from Guam, and I can see no reason whatever for 
maintaining Presl’s species as a distinct one. The material cited agrees 
with his description, and also agrees with our ample material of Lumnitzera 
littorea (Jack) Voigt, from Malaya and from the Philippines. 
LECYTHIDACEAE 
BARRINGTONIA Forster 
BARRINGTONIA ASIATICA (Linn.) Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 45° 
(1876) 70. 
Mammea asiatica Linn. Sp. Pl. (1753) 781. 
Barringtonia speciosa Forst. Char. Gen. (1776) 76, t. $8; Safford 196, 
pl. 38. 
McGregor 560, G. E. S. 838, locally known as puting. 
Along the seashore from Ceylon to Polynesia. 
The Guam material is referable to the species described by Linnaeus as 
Mammea asiatica; that it is identical with Forster’s Barringtonia speciosa 
admits of very little doubt in spite of Miers’ conclusions to the contrary. 
BARRINGTONIA RACEMOSA (Linn.) Roxb. Fl. Ind. 2 (1832) 684; 
Safford 196. 
Eugenia racemosa Linn. Sp. Pl. (1758) 471. 
G. E. S. 187, 224, 297, locally known as langat, langasat, and langaasag. 
Near the sea from India to Malaya and Polynesia.

Nelitris paniculata Lindl. Collect. Bot. (1821) 16. 
McGregor 411, hills back of Piti. 
Bengal to Formosa southward to Malaya and Australia, eastward to 
the Marianne and Caroline Islands; very closely allied to the Polynesian 
Decaspermum fruticosum Forst. 
EUGENIA Linnaeus 
EUGENIA JAVANICA Lam. Encycl. 3 (1789) 200.
