To sum up, I consider it probable, thai in lliis case of Casuarina 

 equisetifolia var. longiflora Miq. an error of Blüme's is Hie cause 

 of the reputed indigenous occurrence of this plant in Java, an 

 error similar in kind to that which was formerly demonstrated ') 

 in the case of another tree cultivated in Hortus of Buitenzorg; it 

 appears, that this variety must be deleted from the flora of Java.

It is evident from the above bibliography, that according to the 

 latest rules of nomenclature this species should not be named 

 C. montana Miq., as in Koord, and Val. I.e., nor C. montana 

 Leschkn., as in the Index Kewensis, but C. montana Jungh. 



§§ 1. Geographical distribution outside Java: Bangka 

 (Teijsmann n. 7650); Timor (Zipp.; Teijsm.; Forbes n. 3512 ; Molucc. 

 (Reinw. n. J 504). — On the authentic specimen of Zippel (in H. L. B.) 



I found on young branches of flowering shoots 10 — 11 vaginal teeth 

 and generally 11 teeth ; internodes 1 — V/ z mm. thick and about 

 1 cm. long. 



Two fruiting specimens from Timor, named by MlQUEL himself 

 as C. montana have 11 — 12 teeth, like the var. validior Miq., but 

 with thin internodes, corresponding to the var. tenuior Miq. - The 

 fruiting specimen of Reinwardt from the Moluccas (without further 

 indication of locality) had ten vaginal teeth throughout and corresponds, 

 also as regards the diameter of the internodes, to the var. tenuior. — 

 The fruiting specimen from Bangka bears in Schefper's handwriting 

 the manuscript name C. equisetifolia Forst. var. bancana ; it has 

 consistently 9 vaginal teeth, fruit cones with about l<s longitudinal 

 rows, cylindrical internodes, ' , */ 4 nun. thick about 1 cm. long, 

 and not deeply grooved. This specimen from Bangka cannot in my 

 opinion be separated from some specimens of the Javanese C. montana
