I am unable to distinguish T'urpinia gracilis Nakaï, based on Henry

The authors of the “Flore générale de l’Indo-Chine” apparently over- 
looked this genus (and family), although at least three species of Tur- 
pinia occur in Indo-China. This form has been confused with T. 
pomifera (Roxb.) DC. a species of British India with much larger 
fruits, that does not occur in southeastern Asia or in Malaysia. In my 
extensive paper on Loureiro’s species (Trans. Am. Philos. Soc. II 24(2): 
246. 1935) I merely indicated that Triceros cochinchinensis Lour. was 
a Turpinia. 1 am now convinced that Clemens 3791, a fruiting speci- 
men from reasonably near the probable type locality (Hue), represents 
Loureiro’s species, for this specimen has fruits with three short horns 
(remains of the styles) mentioned by Loureiro, and the character whence 
he derived his generic name. India to southern China, and Malaysia.
