I have not been able to ascertain, why this extensive collection of 

 Junghuhn's plants has not been worked at daring so many decades, 

 and apparently was never in the hands of Miquel. I surmise, in 

 the first place, that it was not received from Junghuhn either 

 until the period 1855 — 1864, or until after his death, i.e. after 

 1864; the receipt of the collection is noted on the outside in an 

 unknown handwriting as "from Bandong". In the second place I 

 surmise that this unpublished collection was accidentally mislaid 

 among the mass of material in 's Rijks Herbarium at Leiden, and 

 was consequently not found again, when Miquel was Director of 

 that Institution (1862—1871). 



For had this collection been in the hands of one, with so good a 

 knowledge of the East Indian flora as that possessed by Miquel, 

 there can, in my opinion, be no doubt, that he would at once have 

 discovered the 9 species mentioned below, which at the time were 

 new to the flora of Java and were found by me undetermined in 

 1896. Nor would these 9 species have been omitted from the Javanese 

 flora in the publication ') "Plantae Junghuhnianae" of 1854 or in 

 the other publications of Miquel (e. g. Flora Ind. Bat., Ann. Mus. 

 bot. Lugd. Bat., etc.). 



As such I mention the following species : 



PI. Jungh. inedit. n. 368, 380, 381, 385 and 394 = Turpinia 

 parva Koord, et Valeton (first published in 1903) PI. Jungh. ined. 

 n. 545 = Ilex Hookeri King (has not yet been mentioned in the 

 literature as occurring in Java), Itea macrophylla Wall. var. minor 

 K. et V. (at the time not recorded in Java); PI. Jungh. ined. n. 207 

 = Aglaia heptandra Koord, et Valeton (first published in 1896); 



l ) The title of this publication is: Plantae Junghuhnianae. Enumeratio 

 planlarum qaas in insults Java et Sumatra detexit Fr. Junghuhn, Leiden 

 1854. In the Index Kewensis it is often quoted as Miquel PI. Jungh., although 

 Miquel's name does not appear in the title. Most of the phanerogams in this 

 publication were treated of by Miquel himself, some other families by others i-a. 

 by Bentham (Leguminosae), Molkenboer (Loranthaceae), W. H. de Vriese (Pri- 

 mulaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, etc.), Hasskarl (Commelynaceae, Amaranthaceae), 

 Büse (Graminae), Burgersdijk (Violaceae), and A. J. de Bruyn (Polygonaceae). 



In the catalogue of the University library at Leiden, this publication Plantae 

 Jungh. Enumeratio plant, etc. (1854) is stated to have appeared in 1851—1855. 



In the only copy in 's Rijks Herbarium I found the year 1854 given as the 

 date of publication. This bound copy ends with p. 552, where as the copy of the 

 Royal Academy of Sciences at Amsterdam is slightly more complete, ending with 

 p. 570. The publication seems to have been stopped prematurely, the less incom- 

 plete copy of the Royal Academy of Sciences ends on p. 570 in the middle of a 

 word and is therefore, evidently no more rounded off than the copy 1 found at 

 Leiden. The date of publication is given on the title page of the latter copy as 1853.
