1197, but the actual type, on which the description was based 

 and from which the Linnean species must be interpreted, was 

 a specimen collected near Canton, China, by Osbeck. This speci- 

 men is the same as Rubus triphyllus Thunb., Fl. Jap. (1784) 

 215, the name that Focke has adopted for the species. However, 

 Focke is manifestly in error in the selection of this name as 

 the valid one for the species is Rubus parvifolius Linn. (1753) 

 [not R. parviflorus Linn, as cited by Focke, Bibl. Bot. 17 2 (1911) 

 187]. Rubus fraxinifolius Poir. was described from Javan 

 specimens collected by Commerson and is widely distributed in 

 the Sunda Islands, especially in Java and Sumatra. The sub- 

 species celebicus Focke is widely distributed in the Philippines 

 and in the Moluccas, extending to New Guinea.

Atunus of Rumphius has not been previously referred to its 

 proper place in our present system of classification, although 

 Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 22, suggested that it was a 

 Parinarium. It manifestly is Parinarium, and the species very 

 generally known as Parinarium scabrum Hassk., of which 

 numerous synonyms are given above. In citing the above syn- 

 onyms I have in part followed Koorders and Valeton, Bijdr.

 named specimens of most of the species I have here reduced.
