 authentic material representing P. dichotomum Blume, the type being 

 from Java; Wallich's type was from Singapore. Steward, Contr. Gray 

 Herb. 5(88): 91. 1830, placed both P. dichotomum Blume and P. 

 pcdunculare Wall, as synonyms of P. strigosum R. Br. var. pedimculare 

 (Wall.) Steward. As a binomial Blume's name has priority.
