 true, also known from: Malacca (V. Clark., holoph.) and Sumatra 

 (V. subspic). In this case the distribution should be: 



Malacca!, Sumatra!, Banka!, Borneo!, Celebes!, Molucca's! (Amboya, 

 Buru), New-Guinea! 



The synonymy still seems somewhat doubtful as regards V. subspicata and 

 V, holophylla. Especially the former species has leaves which do not exactly conform 

 with those of V. Ho/lr., being more gradually acuminate. It seems, however, rather pro- 

 bable that all these forms belong to a single species with a large extension; it may be 

 that it is rather polymorphous, but in the materials extant at present, we could not 

 separate any distinctly distinguishable forms, the extremes (as e.g. V. subspicata and the 

 type of V. Hollrungii) being joined by a uninterrupted series of transition-forms.
