wild in Java, fno riii'llicr s]K'('ics as "doiihiriil and iiicoin|»lelely 

 known"; the latter were iiu'lndcd on the anthority of liuMK Mus. 

 Lugd. Bat. I, 294 — 304; we were nnable at the time at Buitenzorg 

 to refer to the authentic specimens of these. 



As I have now been able to examine the authentic specimens of 

 Blume in 's Rijks Herbarium at Leiden, I append my observations 

 regarding these species. 



1. Quercus Pinanga Bi,ümk Mus. Lugd. Bat. I (1850) 303. 



I completely agree with the view of KjN(i, (pioted in Kooru. and 

 Valeton I. c. 65. The remark, published by Blume ]. c, that tlie 

 above-mentioned species occurs "in Java in the mountain forest" 

 must therefore be regarded as not wholly accurate because Blum e 

 evidently prepared his diagnosis from a few leaves of Querais 

 (jlahni Thunb. (from Japan) an old tree of which was observed by 

 me in a cultivated state in Hort. Bogor. as late as 1903. 



Q. Pinanga Blume should therefore be erased from the Flora of 

 Java and be considered synonymous with Q. glabra Thunh. 



2. Quercus UtoralU Blume 1. c. 303. 



On the authentic herbarium label there was \\v\{{qu [.n.: "Quercas 

 UtteraVis Bl., Java, leg. Blume, Pasang-laut (Sund)". 



Since the native name is Sundanese, this species cannot come from 

 Eastei'u Java, as Blume I.e. incorrectly i-emarks, but must come fiom 

 Western Java, probably from the Preanger oi- Banten, whei-e most 

 of the specimens, collected by P)Lume, were obtained. 



The authentic specimen I i-egard as beyond doubt synonymous 

 with Quercus s pica la Sm. var. gracUipes Kin(j (comp. Kooru. and 

 Valeton 1 c. 42). This species of Blume's must also therefore be 

 deleted. 



3. Quercus glutinosa Blume I.e. 304. 



According to the authentic herbarium label of Reinwarut this 

 S[)ecies was named by Reinwardt in manuscri[)t Quercus inicans 

 Reinw., and w^as afterwards renamed by \\\.vyiv. Q)Lercus glutinosa]ih. 

 moreover, it was not collected "in the mountain forests of Western 

 Java" but found by Relnwardt near Tondano in N.E. Celebes, in 

 the year 1821. This species can therefore also be deleted from the 

 flora of Java. It is not, as Miquel incon-cctly thought, identical 

 with Quercus iiuluta Bl., to which it shows a superticial resemblance; 

 the si)ccies is specifically distinct from Q. Induta Bl., as was indeed 

 already correctly surmised by De Candot-le and by King (comp. 

 KooRD. and Valeton I.e. 65). 



4. Quercus sphacelata Blume I.e. 304. 



The authentic specimen of this species consists of a branch with
