For the very nnnierons synonyms of this |)olymorphic species, 

 which has extremely wide vertical and horizontal distribution, 1 have 

 chiefly relied on the most recent literature as regards these species, 

 which occur outside the Dutch East Indies, but have checked them 

 as far as possible by the very rich material in the National Herbaria 

 at Leiden and at Utrecht. The Dutch East-Indian synonyms are 

 chiefly based on my own examination of tlie above collections, and 

 on KooRDEKS and Valeton Bijdr. Booms. IX I.e. From various facts 

 it appears that this tree (at least the littoral form) was already 

 known to Rumtiiius, and that it has been described as separate species 

 by a large number of authors under more than 25 different specific 

 names. 



According to an unj)ublished note of Reinwardt, found by me 

 with a herbarium specimen collected on the sandy beach ofTernate, 

 this observer has the credit of having already realized, that the coast 

 and the mountain forms of the specimens of Dodonaea visco.sa from 

 Malay Archipelago belong to one and the same species.

According to the lilerature (e. g. Radlkofer) and the herbaria 

 consulted by me at Leiden and at Utrecht, Dodonaea viscom is 

 generally distributed in tropical and subtrojucal regions of the whole 

 world, and is known outside Java from sandy sea shores as well 

 as from iidand localities up to an altitude of 1400 meters. Brandis 

 [Indian Trees (1906) 187] states: "Trans Indus, Afghanistan and 

 Beluchistan. ('ommon locally, often covering extensive tracts in the 

 drier regions of North-West and Uenti-al India as well in the Deccan. 

 Also on the seacoast" (Brandis 1. c). In the National Herbarium at 

 Leiden I saw an authentic hei-barium specimen of Dodonaea arabica
