The specimen has young buds, but they are sufficiently 

 mature to present the characteristic petals and stamens of the 

 above species, while in vegetative characters the specimen 

 agrees perfectly with the excellent series of specimens available 

 for comparison from the Malay Peninsula. The species has 

 previously been credited to Borneo by Pierre.

This species has previously been reported from Borneo by 

 King (in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 60 2 (1891) 134), who, how- 

 ever, confused Elaeocarpus littoralis, T. & B., with E. robustus, 

 Blume. Koorders, (Exkursions flora von Java 2 (1912) 570), 

 distinguishes Elaeocarpus littoralis, T. & B., from E. obtusus, 

 Blume, stating that the former is not wild in Java, but is 

 rarely cultivated in parks; the type of Elaeocarpus obtusus, 

 Blume, was from Mount Salak, Java. Both . Elaeocarpus 

 littoralis, T. & B., and E. obtusus, Blume, judging from the 



H. A. Soc, No. 77, 1917.
