the local name pubentjil. : 
This species is widely distributed in the Indo-Malayan region, 
Burman’s type apparently being a Javan specimen. It is cur- 
rently known as Leea sambucina (Linn.) Willd., but Burman’s 
name being the older should be adopted. The Linnean bino- 
mial is apparently typified by Burman’s figure and description, 
Staphylea indica Burm. f. being cited by Linnaeus as a synonym 
of his species; there is no specimen in the Linnean herbarium.
