Apparently allied to M. cornuta Muell. Arg. which however 
has the horns of the fruit as long as the body of it, and also allied 
to M. Hosei Hook. fil. but the leaves are trilobed. The fruits 
are much larger than those of J. triloba Muell. Arg. | 
caranga robiginosa Rid]. nov. nom. This common lowland 
tree in the Malay peninsula was originally called “ Rottlera 
montana Heyne, in Sched,” by Baillon, Etudes Gén. Euphorb. 
230 (1858), but Heyne’s Rottlera montana in Sched. Wallich’s 
Catalogue 7833, is not this plant at all but a Nepal species allied 
to Mallotus philippinensis. The specimen of the Malay peninsula 
plant in Wallich’s herbarium is numbered 7835, and the ticket 
merely says Penang. Mueller Arg.in DC. Prod. xv. 2,1005 followed 
Baillon and called it M. javanica var. montana Hook. In the Flora 
of British India v. 451, it is called WZ. javanica from which species 
it differs entirely in the large toothed bracts, which are smaller and 
entire in M. javanica. Pax, Pflanzenreich, iv, 147, vii, 321 
(1914) calls it Macaranga montana (Heyne) Pax and Hoffman, 
but it is not Heyne’s plant at all. Moreover, Macaranga montana 
Pax is anticipated by Macaranga montana Merrill a Philippine 
plant, Phil. Journ. vii. 394 (1912), for which Pax has substituted 
the name M. Merrilliana (Pflanzenreich Le. 334). This latter 
name must be relegated to a synonym (M. montana Merrill being 
older than M. montana Pax), and as Hooker’s acaranga javanica 
var. montana has no name, | propeee * : hn oy . in
