VITACEAE 



LEE A Royen 



LEEA INDICA (Burm. f.) comb. nov.

Asahan, Boenoet, Bartlett & La Rue If8, May 17, 1918, with 

 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.
