Pianta J UNGHUNIANÆ. ÆEnumeratio Plantarum, quas, in insulis Java 
et Sumatra, detexit F. Juncuun. 8vo. Fasc. I. Leyden, 1850. 
M. Junghun appears to have made a very extensive collection of 
plants in the Dutch Islands of Java and Sumatra, and is known to 
science by his writings in the scientific journals of his country, and by 
his excellent memoir on Balanophoreæ in the ‘Nova Acta Academiæ 
Curiosorum,’ &c. 
The collection of this gentleman is about to be published in the work 
now mentioned, of which the first fasciculus of 106 pages has just 
appeared. It begins with Conifere, by Dr. Miquel. One true Pine is 
shown to be a native of Sumatra, Pinus Merkusii, Jungh. et De Vriese, 
Pl. Ind. Or. fasc. i. tab. 1 :—“ probably the P. Finlaysoniana” of Dr. 
Wallich, Cat. n. 6062, from Cochin-China. Cupulifere, by Miquel, has 
four new Oaks ; and a new genus, Callæocarpus, Miq., allied to Castanea. 
Piperacee (Miquel) has three new species. Urticeæ (Miquel), besides 
several new species, includes three new genera, Dendrocnide, Leucocnide, 
and Oreocnide, In Moree (Miquel) is one new species. In Artocarpee 
(by Miquel), Conocephalus, Blume, has a new species, C. gratus, Miq., 
and a new genus, Stenochasma, Mig. The Ficee embrace many new 
species, especially Ficus proper, and Urostigma. -Parasponia, Miq., is 
a new genus in Celtidee. Ranunculacee, by De Vriese, has only one 
new species—in Anemone, A. Sumatrana, De Vriese ; but many obser- 
vations are given on little-known species. Dipterocarpee, by De Vriese, 
contains a full botanical history of Dryobalanops Camphora, and he adds, 
“ Qua de camphoræ sede et colligendi ratione sunt ad hune usque diem _ 
relata, ea plerumque erronea esse, aliis locis demonstrabimus, utpote 
minus hujus loci existimanda."* Leucopogon Javanicus (in Epacrideæ), 
Anacyclodon pungens, Jungh. in Nat. en Gen. Archief voor Nederl. 
Indië. Batav. 1845, II. Jaarg. bl. 49-51, is fully described. Primu- 
lacee, by De Vriese, affords a new genus in the splendid Primula im- 
perialis, Jongh. MSS. and in Tijdschrift voor Nat. Gesch. en Phys. - 
vol. vii. p. 298, and was also last year fully described by De Vriese, 
with an excellent plate, in ‘ Jaarb. der Koninkl. Nederl. Maatsch. van |
