The identification of the Amboina specimen has been made wholly from 
the description, and is, accordingly not certainly correct. If not Celtis 
paniculata Planch., then it represents a very closely allied form. The cymes, 
in fruit, are shorter than the petioles, and the leaves are notably dark 
colored when dry.

Amboina, Hoetoemoeri road, Rel. Robins. 1 79U, September 30, 1913, locally 
known as umian utan. 
A species known only from Amboina, considered by Lauterbach to be 
closely allied to Gironniera rhamnifolia Blume. The material I have placed 
under G. amboinensis Lauterb. rather strongly resembles Gironniera subae- 
qualis Planch.

Amboina, Amahoesoe, Rel. Robins. 1763, August 13, 1913, on limestone

Himalayan region to Formosa southward to Queensland, with varieties 
extending to Polynesia and Hawaii. 
Doubtless this was included by Rumphius in his general conception of 
Cortex piscatorium, but his description and figure do not apply to this 
common and well-known form, but to T. virgata Blume.

MALAISIA sp.? 
Amboina, Soja, Rel. Robins. 1691, October 24, 1913, in light woods, alti- 
tude about 375 meters. 
Doctor Robinson describes this as a small tree about 4 m high, but the 
specimens look as if they were from a scandent shrub. If a Malaisia, 
then the specimens certainly represent an undescribed species. Unfortun- 
ately, however, our material presents only matured infructescences, and 
in the absence of flowers its generic position cannot be determined with 
certainty. The mature receptacle, when fresh, is yellow, succulent, and 
the carpels are nearly black.
