43. 1 ric/iosanthes bracteata Voigt. 



Shrub, high climbing with the aid of tendrils, with bright 

 red many seeded fruits which possess a fleshy yellow 

 mesocarp and a dark green, slimy endocarp. It is spread 

 throughout Java from the plains up to 1500 m. above sea- 

 level, as well in regions where the east-monsoon is rather 

 strong as where it is feeble- It grows in thickets, on forest- 

 borders and in light woods, generally in scattered specimens. 

 The reproduction is effected by seeds, about the mode of 

 spreading of which nothing is known.

From a comparison of this list with that of the finds of Penzig 

 (Cf- pp. 111 seq.) it appears that Penzig and his companions found 

 in 1897 at Zwarte Hoek 47 Phanerogams and higher Cryptogams 18 

 of which were littoral or halophilous species, whilst Valeton col- 

 lected there 18 plants among which were 6 littoral or halophilous 

 species or, assuming for the moment that all plants of unknown habit- 

 at were found at Zwarte Hoek, 39 species of which 12 littoral or 

 halophilous ones. It would be absurd to conclude from this fact 

 that in the 8 years passed between the two excursions the vegeta- 

 tion of the locality had grown much poorer. This appears at once 

 from the following survey :
