the east, alt. 1400 m., A. Henry (11906*; large climber; cf); same locality, 

 mountains to the north, alt. 1600 m., A. Henry (No. 11906*'; large climber; with

INDIA. Burma: "not unfrequent in the tropical forests of the eastern 

 slopes of the Pegu Yomah and Martaban, up to 3000 ft. elevation " (ex Kurz). 



JAVA. Without precise locality, Leschenault (type, ex Trecul). 



Henry's specimens agree with Trecul's description. The largest leaves measure 

 up to 18 cm. in length and 8.5 cm. in width; like the branchlets they bear under- 

 neath a soft yellowish pubescence, especially on the prominent rib and on the 

 equally prominent lateral veins, of which there are from 7 to 11 on each side of the 

 rib. At the base the leaves are rounded or acute, and they are more or less abruptly 

 pointed at the apex.

^ Trecul's quotation " Cudranus javanensis Rumph." is not correct, nor is 

 Willdenow's " Cudranus javensis Rumph." It should read " Cudranus Amboi- 

 nensis silvestris Burmann in Rumphius, Herb. Amb. V. 25, t. 15-16 (1747)." 



The Latin descriptions in Rumphius's book are written by Burmann, who is the 

 editor. In the explanation of the figures he gives the name cited above, while on 

 p. 22 in the text he mentions two forms, " Cudranus Bimamis sive Javanus " and 

 " Cudranus Amboinicus." 



2 According to the description Willdenow's plant is Plecospermum spinosum 

 Trecul. Willdenow cites as a synonym " Trophis spinosa Roxburgh," which 

 must be a manuscript name. Roxburgh (Fl. Ind. ed. 2, III. 762 [1832]) changed 

 Willdenow's Trophis spinosa to Batis spinosa Roxburgh, which also is Plecosper- 

 mum (except the synonym " Cudranus Rumph."), while the real Trophis spinosa 

 Roxburgh, 1. c, is Phyllochlamys spinosa Bureau, the correct name of which seems 

 to be Ph. taxoides (Heyne) Koorders.
