Melastomataceae. 



69 (9). Me/astoma malabathricum L. See p. 150, No. 33. 



According to the English text: prevailing on naked moun- 

 tain-slopes, no real forest-plant"; according to the Dutch 

 text: ,,mostly on slopes bearing but a scanty vegetation, no 

 ,,forest-plant". It is hardly to be believed that this Melastoma 

 was really a prevailing, i. e. a predominant and not a scattered 

 plant on naked slopes. Perhaps the translator has not rightly 

 understood the Dutch text. 



Solanaceae. 



6/ (23). Solanum blumei Nees. Determination doubtful. 



Rather robust herb, spread throughout the moister parts of 

 West-Java in rain-forests between 1000 and 2500 m. above 

 sea-level, usually in scattered specimens. The reproduction 

 is effected by seeds. 



According to the Dutch text collected at an altitude of 

 700 m., according to the English text at an altitude of 2000 

 feet ( 600 m). 



Bignoniaceae. 



62 (1). Radermachera glandu/osa Miq. See 5 herebefore. 



According to the Dutch text ,,scattered in the ravines 

 ,,between 30 and 500 m. above sea-level. Considerable-sized 

 ,,trees". According to the English text occurring between 150 

 and 1500 feet, i.e. between 45 and 450 m. 



Gesneriaceae. 



63 (7). Trichosporum pulchrum EL 



Epiphyte or less often a chasmophyte, spread throughout 

 the moister regions of Java between 50 and 1750 m. above 

 sea-level. It grows in shadowed localities, mostly in forests 

 either primary or secondary, not rarely also on trees 

 planted in native villages or along road-sides, less often 

 on rocks. The reproduction is effected by the small seeds, 

 which bear on both ends a long hair serving as a kind 

 of sail to the seed, which is easily carried along by the 

 wind. 



Found at an altitude of 400 m. Epiphytic.
