The foliage of this species greatly resembles that of Sympl. Hen- 

 schelii Brand [in Engler Monogr. Symploc. Pflanzenw. IV. 242. 

 (1901) 89], but the floral structure is different, as is evident from 

 the above diagnosis. 



In the system of the Symplocacae of Brand I.e. this species will 

 have to be placed in the subgenus Hopea (L. f.) Clarke, and in the 

 section Bobua (DC.) Brand., and probably in the subsection Palura 

 (Buch.-Hamilt.) Bent, et Hook., immediately near to Symplocos vibes 

 Jungh. et De Vriese [in De Vriese, PL nov. Ind. bat. (1845) 11 ; 

 Brand I.e. 39.] Through the extra-ordinarily large number (100) of 

 stamens Symplocos Junghuhnii seems to me to differ from S. vibes, 

 and from the other more or less closely related Javanese species, 

 S. aluminosa Blume Brand I.e., S. odovatissima (Bl.) Choisy and 

 S. sessilifolia (Bl.) Gürke. 



S. polyandra, Brand. 1. c. 36 of the Philippines, which is also 

 related and also has about 100 stamens, is distinguished from the 

 Javanese plant since it has panicles instead of simple racemes.
