HocHST and Steud. According to llic aüached label, this specimen 

 was collected on Dec. 8^'', 1835 by W. Schimper (the tathei- of the 

 phjtogeographer F. W. Sciiimpkr) at 4000 feet (1330 meters) above 

 sea level on the snmmit of the mountain Kara in Hedschas (Arabia). 

 According to Hooker Flora Brit. India I.e. this specimen is identical 

 with the widely <listril)ntcd Dodonaca viscosa (L.) Jacq. Hooker's 

 view is undoubtedly correct. It seems to me that the occurrence of 

 the littoral /). viscosa (\j.) Jacq. on the above-mentioned mountain 

 can easily be ex])lained, by assuming tliat the locality, where Schimper 

 collected his Dodonaea, was extremely poor in water. In 's Rijks 

 Herbarium at Leiden I also saw a specimen of JJodonaea viscosa 

 L. (det. P. Hennings) from Herb. Schlagintweit N°. 80846, which 

 was collected in the Panjab in Nortli-West India between November 

 15'"' to 28'!', 1855 at 650—850 meters above sea-level, and finally 

 a specimen from Herb. Fiehrig N°. 2501, correctly named Dodonaen 

 viscosa, which w\as collected in 1903 — 1904 in Eastern Bolivia 

 (South America) at a height of 1400 meters. As proved by a her- 

 barium specimen from British India, due to Hooker and Thomson, 

 and seen l)y me in Rijks Herb, at Leiden, Dodonaea Bnrmanniana 

 D. C. which is synonymous with 1). viscosa, grows there at a height 

 of — 600 meters above the sea. In 's Rijks Herbarium at Leiden 

 I further saw a herbarium specimen, which according to the label, 

 had been collected in 1841 by Forsten "on extensive beds of lava" 

 in Ternate (Spice Islands) ; this specimen had been determined by 

 Blume as Dodonaea Candolhi Be. var. minor Blume. In my opinion 

 there is no doubt, that this is merely a form (from an arid locality) 

 of the ordinary Dodonaea viscosa (L.) Jacq.

The following data regarding the vertical and horizontal distribution, 

 and the oecological condition, of Dodonaea viscosa (Linn.) Jacq. 

 which, in part have already been published in Koorders and V^vleton 

 I.e., can now be communicated; they are based on observations 

 made by myself in Java 1885 — 1906, and on herbarium specimens 

 collected by me. 



In Western and Central Java, as well as in Eastern Java on 

 sandy sea-shores, further in Central and in Eastern Java at 1450 m. 

 above sea-level and higher, especially above 1800 m. and still at 

 2600 m. According to Herb. Kds. it has been collected in Java in 

 the following localities: In Western Java: near Tjeniara in S. W.
