TARENNA BURUENSIS (Miq.) comb. nov. 
Stylocoryna buruensis Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 4 (1868) 129. 
Buru. 
By no means all of the species described under Stylocoryna 
can be referred to Tarenna, but in numerous cases type or 
authentic material must be studied before the various species can 
be disposed of, due to imperfect or incomplete original descrip- 
tions. .A number of forms characterized by Miquel may or may 
not be referable to Tarenna; unfortunately he does not indicate 
for several species whether the cells are one- or many-ovulate. 
Stylocoryna densiflora Miq. is certainly a Randia, probably a syn- 
onym of Randia racemosa (Cav.) F.-Vill.; S. albituba Mig. and 
S. lucida Mig. are apparently forms of Tarenna fragrans Koord. 
& Val. If Miquel included only pluriovulate species under Sty- 
locoryna, then perhaps the following species will eventually have 
to be transferred to Tarenna: S. celebica Miq., S. forsteniana 
Miq., S. orophila Miq. 
PAVETTA Linnaeus 
In the Philippines various species have been described under 
Webera, some one-ovulate, some several-ovulate. The several- 
ovulate species I have here placed under Tarenna, and after 
considerable study of the available material, I have concluded 
that the one-ovulate species are better treated as Pavetta; other- 
wise the only alternative would be the proposal of a new generic 
name for those forms placed by Hooker f. under the section 
Pseudixora (non Pseudixora Miq.). So far as our Philippine 
forms are concerned, they closely approximate typical Pavetta, 
differing in only trivial and unimportant characters; in aspect, 
color when dry, stipules, inflorescences, indumentum (when 
present), and flowers such forms as Webera pubescens Vid. and 
Webera meyeri Merr. are Pavetta-like in all respects; they differ 
from typical Pavetta in having 5-merous flowers, and the styles 
slightly grooved and, while prominently exserted, not so greatly 
elongated. The difference in the number of floral parts is un- 
important as in several species of typical Pavetta 4- and 5- 
merous flowers are found on the same specimen. Not having 
seen specimens of many of the Indian specimens of Webera 
placed by Hooker f. in the section Pseudixora, I am not prepared 
to state that they should be transferred to Pavetta, but merely 
suspect that this is the proper disposition of them; it is cer- 
tainly the proper disposition of the Philippine species having 
Pseudixora characters.
