ALABASTRA BORNEENSIA. 237" 



Fagraea speciosa, Blume, Rumphia 2 (1836) 35, t. 81. 



Cyrtophyllum speciosum, Blurne, Bijdr. (1826) 1022. 



British North Borneo, Sandakan, Villamil 202, 251 

 bis, January and November, 191 G, with flowers and fruits. 



The specimens here referred to Blume's species differ 

 from the typical form in some slight characters, but I believe 

 belong here. Java to the Moluccas. 



Fagraea spicata, Baker in Kew Bull. (1896) 25. 



British North Borneo, Sandakan, Villamil 293, Janu- 

 ary, 1917, in brush-land at low altitudes; Mrs. Clemens 9Jf53, 

 October, 1915, with narrower leaves than the typical form. 



This endemic species, allied to Fagraea racemosa, Jack, is 

 well characterized, by its condensed spicate inflorescences. 



Fagraea cuspidata, Blume, Mus. Bot. 1 (1850) 170. 



Sarawak, Native collector 1669, 1812, 19h0, 2787 (Bur. 

 Sci.) ; British North Borneo, Tenom, Villamil, 331, April 

 8, 1917. 



The type of Fagraea cuspidata, Blume, was from Borneo, 

 while that of F. crassipes, Benth., was from Labuan. Boerlage 

 has reduced Benthanrs species to Blume's as a synonym, and 

 after an . attentive comparison of the descriptions with each 

 other and with the Bornean specimens cited above, I consider 

 that he is correct. Boerlage also places Fagraea robusta, 

 Blume, here, and, with doubt, F. appendiculata, Blume. King, 

 however, has referred the first to F. racemosa', Jack. Typical 

 Fagraea racemosa, Jack, is not represented in our Bornean col- 

 lections, although it unquestionably occurs in the Island.'
