Farn. 73. VITACEtâ 



648. Vitis barbata Lawson, in Hook, f., Fl. Brit. Ind. I, p. 651 (1875); 

 var. trilobata King, Mat. Fl. Malay Penins. p. 674, ex Journ. Asiat. Soc. 

 Bengal, 1893. — Kedah, 1881 (King's collector, n. 1768). — Folia triloba, 

 pubescentia rufa. 



In Sir G. King's list, the locality is given as «Perak», though evidently the 

 more limited district of Kedah is intended. 



« This species is really an excellent one; but it has been misunderstood 

 « owing, I believe, mainly to a mistake of Wallich, its author, who issued, 

 « under the name of V. barbata, spécimens which bore the same number 

 « (5994) as his species V. rugosa, and which really belong to V. rugosa! » 

 (King). This variety is founded on two sheets of spécimens in Herb. Kew., 

 collected at Anhin in Battambong (Schomburgk, n. 257) in 1859; and 

 remaining unnamed until Sir G. King matched them with his spécimens from 

 Kedah, the most southern district in Peninsular Siam. On account of the 

 mixture of spécimens on Wallich's sheets, it is necessary to quote Lawson as 

 the authority for the species itself. 



649. Vitis hastata Miq. — Kedah (Curtis, n. 2606). 



As in the case of the preceding, Wallich has hopelessly mixed up two 

 species both under the name and under the number (5991) of the spécimens 

 distributed by him. They were gathered partly in Penang and partly in 

 Singapore. These separate gatherings, to which he gave the collective name of 

 « Vitis glaberrima », are not even distinguished by letters, as Wallich often 

 does in similar cases. The name is therefore untenable. 



« On two of the four sheets of n. 5991, which are now présent in the
