This plant is said to have formed, together with Saccharum 

 (No. 32) and Pennisetum (No. 35), a dense vegetation on the 

 hills and in the valleys. It is quite possible that here and 

 there groups of this grass were growing but it is not very 

 probable that it was one of the chief components of the 

 vegetation. 



Cyperaceae. 



38. Cyperus pennatus Lamk. (Wrongly named by Penzig 



C. digitatus Roxb.). 



39. Fimbristylis spathacea Roth. 



See for these two species p. 47, No. 5 and 6; p. !. Both 

 species were numerous on the beach of Zwarte Hoek. 



Orcliidaceae. 



40. Arundina spcciosa Bl. See p. 107. 



In the higher localities reached by Penzig this species 

 was growing in the company of Spathoglottis plicata Bl. 

 (No. 42), but was less numerous than this. Nothing is told 

 on the nature of substratum. 



41. Pha/us tankervilliae Bl. See p. 107. 



Probably this was the plant mentioned by Penzig under 

 the name of Pha/us spec. According to Penzig it occurred 

 in the company of Spathog/ottis plicata Bl., but was less 

 numerous. On p. 108 I argued already that it is highly improb- 

 able that these two species were growing on the same 

 substratum. On the nature of the habitat Penzig is silent. 



42. Spathog/ottis plicata Bl. See p. 107. 



In the higher localities reached by Penzig this species 

 was numerous. Nothing is told on the nature of the habitat. 



Casuarinaceae. 



43. Casuarina equisetifolia Forst. See p. 91, No. 6. 



Habitat and frequency unknown. 



Moraceae. 



44. Ficus toxicaria L. fil. 



Small tree, rather common in West-Java between 300 and 

 1300 m. above sea-level. It occurs in sunny or moderately
