To this species I reduce more or less varying forms found spontaneous 

 growing in the teai< forests of Rembang (Randublatung), Bondowoso and 

 Kediri. A form particular by the large calyx and the triangular petals, but 

 otherwise similar was sent from Bondowoso as "Temu ladi", (cult. Heyne 

 700). AU those names are very local and uncertain. The following num- 

 bers of the HEYNE-culture garden, all of teakforests, belong here.

H. 688 "Temu giring"? Randublatung. ^ 



H. 682 Kediri, flowered.
