Blume's description is too incomplete, and specimens of a totally different 

 Javan plant in Herb. Kew attributed to Blume are labelled nervosum. Blume 

 gives the native name as Ki Kechapi. Miquel, however, describes the plant 

 (S. radiatum King) as Blume's nervosum. The oldest name and first adequate 

 description is Melia Koetjape Burman. There can be no doubt that Blume 

 intended the well-known Kechapi fruit by his nervosum.
