RUTACEAE 
TR I PH ASIA Loureiro 
TR 1 PH ASIA TRI FOLIA (Burm. f.) P. Wils. in Torreya 9 (1909) 33. 
Limonia trifolia Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 103. 
Limonia trifoliata Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 237. 
Triphasia trifoliata DC. 1 (1824) 536.

Amboina, near the town of Amboina and at Ayer putri, Rel. Robins. 1 767, 
July 29 and 30, 1913, in light woods at low altitudes. 
The probabilities are that this species has been introduced into Amboina 
since Rumphius’s time. It is now of very wide distribution in the Indo- 
Malayan region, but is, I believe, very generally an introduced plant, 
although now spontaneous, and in some regions even dominant. 
SIMARUBACEAE 
QUASSIA Linnaeus 
QUASSIA AMARA Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1762) 553. 
Amboina, Rel. Robins. 1765, from cultivated plants in the town of Am- 
boina, said to have been introduced from Timor. A native of tropical 
America, now widely cultivated in the tropics.

CANARIUM sp. 
Amboina, Wae, Rel. Robins. 1816, November 26, 1913, in light forests, 
altitude about 20 meters, locally known as nanari laki laid. 
The specimen presents only staminate flowers, and in the absence of 
pistillate flowers and fruits I am unable to place it in its proper section; 
it may even prove to be referable to Santiria.
