Perhaps an undescribed species, but the specimens present only staminate 
flowers, and I cannot place it with certainty by the published descriptions 
alone. It is apparently not one of the forms described by Rumphius.

in forests, altitude 75 to 250 meters. 
I consider that Myristica globularia Blume (1825) is invalidated by 
M. globularia Lam. (1788) and have accordingly adopted Hooker’s specific 
name bivalvis for this species. 
HORSFIELDIA sp. 
Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel. Robins. 1874, November 1, 1913, in forested 
ravines, altitude about 100 meters. The specimen is in fruit, and does not 
appear to be any of the forms described by Rumphius. I cannot definitely 
refer it to any described species.

Amboina, Wae, Rel. Robins. 1996, November 25, 1913, along roadsides 
at low altitudes, locally known as daun titti utan. 
The specimen closely matches Litsea perrottetii F.-Vill., which is very 
common and widely distributed in the Philippines; some of the leaves 
average slightly larger than in Philippine material, and some of the racemes 
are longer, but I can detect no essential differences. Previously known 
from the Philippines, where it extends from northern Luzon to southern 
Mindanao, and Celebes ( Hose 796).
