Miquel describes his species, S. palembanica, from leaves and 
calyx only, but from an examination of the material at Utrecht, 
Leiden, and the British Museum, it seems practically certain that 
his plant and Gile’s 8. Pélgeriana, are identical. 
S. palembanica, which may be regarded as the Sumatran form of 
the “ avillaris” group, may be distinguished from the Javanese 
form, S. Horsfieldiana, by its larger ovate-elliptie leaves which are 
rotund-cuneate at the base.

Java.  Patjitan, Horfield in Herb. Kew (m), Herb. Mus. 
Brit., Herb, Lugd. Bat. et Herb. Acad. Rheno-Traj.; without 
nerves, on the under 
resent, and the stem 
vis hairs. The flowers are borne in delicate, axillary, few- 
owered cymes and agree closely with those of S, axillaris and 
8. palembanica, : 
Owing to the differences in the foliage between the Javan and 
Sumatran specimens, it Seems best to retain both S. Horsfieldiana 
and S. palembanica as species, and to refer the Javan specimens to 
the former, and the Sumatran to the latter species. 
trychnos monosperma, M7g. in Flor, Ned. Ind. ii., p- 381, from 
so island of Noesa Kambangan on the south side of Java, may be 
only S. Horsjfieldiana or a closely allied species, but no specimens 
haye been seen,
