The Amboina specimen certainly represents the same species as the 
common and widely distributed Philippine form. The species is rather 
variable in vegetative characters, and I have specimens of what I take to 
be exactly the same form from Formosa and Indo-China. Gamble 8 expresses 
some doubt as to whether or not the plant that occurs in Burma, the Malay 
Peninsula, and Sumatra is identical with the Philippine form, and retains 
the specimens from those regions under the name Champereia griffithiana 
Planch. Philippine material referred to Planchon’s species by various 
authors is certainly Champereia manillana (Blume) Merr. The genus, 
at least, has not previously been reported from the Moluccas.

I do not agree with Moquin in regard to the synonymy of this species, 
as between the two forms indicated by him as Pupalia atropurpurea and 
Pupalia lappacea. I interpret the type of the Linnean species as FI. Zeyl. 
103, and Hermann’s specimen is Pupalia atropurpurea Moq.; see Trimen 
FI. Ceyl. 3 (1895) 399. 
Widely distributed in tropical Africa, Asia, and Malaya.
