sylvan specimens collected in Amboina. The descriptions apply 

 to totally different plants, and I am unable to suggest the proper 

 position of Arbor violaria. 



ANNONACEAE 



UVARIA Linnaeus 

 UVARIA MUSARIA (Dunal) DC. Mem. Anon. (1832) 29 (type!). 

 Unona musaria Dunal Monogr. Anon. (1817) 100 (type!). 

 Uvaria moluccana Kostel. Allg. Med.-Pharm. Fl. 5 (1836) 1707 

 (type!). 



Funis musarius latifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 78, t. 1+2. 



Amboina, Amahoesoe and Hitoe messen, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 79, 

 September and October, 1913, in flower, growing in forests, altitude 60 to 

 200 meters; Liang, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 1+79, November 29, 1913, 

 in thickets at sea level, with nearly full-grown but immature fruits. 



Uvaria musaria (Dunal) DC. has been previously known only 

 from the Rumphian figure and description, this being the whole 

 basis of Unona musaria Dunal, Uvaria musaria DC, and Uvaria 

 moluccana Kostel. In vegetative and floral characters it closely 

 approximates Uvaria rosenhergiana Scheff., of New Guinea. 

 Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 124, followed by Lamarck, Willdenow, 

 Persoon, Poiret, and Pritzel, erroneously reduced Funis musarius 

 latifolius Rumph. to Uvaria zeylanica Linn.; Blume, Fl. Jav. 

 1 (1828) Anon. 22, equally in error, placed it under Uvaria 

 hirsuta Blume; and Wight and Arnott, Prodr. 1 (1834) 9, placed 

 it under Uvaria macrophylla Roxb. Uvaria musaria (Dunal) 

 DC. seems to be a perfectly valid species, in the alliance with 

 Uvaria rosenhergiana Scheff., U. littoralis Blume, and U. ovali- 

 folia Blume, differing radically, however, in its slightly pubescent 

 leaves and in its elongated puberulent fruits. Uvaria pilosa 

 Roxb., type from the Moluccas, should be critically compared. 



UVARIA sp. 



Funis musarius angustifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 78. 



The exact status of this form is indeterminable without ma- 

 terial from Amboina. Dunal, Monog. Anon. (1817) 99, reduced 

 it, with doubt, to Unona narum Dunal, a species typified by 

 Narum-panel Rheede, Hort. Malabar. 2: 11, t. 9. Blume, Fl. 

 Jav. 1 (1828) Anon. 24, thought that it might be Uvaria ar gen- 

 tea Blume, while Wight and Arnott, Prodr. 1 (1834) 9, placed it, 

 with doubt, under Uvaria grandiflora Roxb. 



UVARIA sp. 



Funis dentarius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 79. 



Like the preceding, this cannot be definitely placed within
