Palau-! Caroline-! and Marianne-isL, Hawaii [Hillebrand, 

 cultiv.). 



Var. ,5 glabrum H. J. Lam, nov. var. — folia adulta 

 utrinque glabra vel subglabra. 



Distribution (see Halliec, I.e.): Lombok! (all, except 

 Elbert nos. 591, 676 and 2095), Sumbawa! (only Elbert 

 no. 3982), Wetar!, Banda! 



Distribution of the species : Malay Arhipelago!, Bismarck- 

 Archipelago!, W.-Micronesia! and -Melanesia! 



This species is rather variable in most features, but we are 

 — in our opinion — not justified in retaining C. fallax in the 

 specific rank.
