and widely distributed species. Melochia concatenata Linn, was primarily 
based on FI. Zeyl. 247, the actual specimen being identical with Melochia 
corchorifolia Linn. 
Common and widely distributed in all tropical countries.

Originally described from Amboina and known only from this island.

Amboina, Hatalai, Rel. Robins. 2036, October 24, 1913, in light forest 
at an altitude of about 325 meters. 
The type of the species was from Amboina, and Hallier 8 also reports it 
from Celebes. Doctor Robinson has suggested on the field label that it may 
possibly be the plant described by Rumphius as Ligum muscosum, Herb. 
Amb. 3: 203, but Rumphius’s description of the inflorescence, flowers, and 
fruits certainly does not apply to Schuurmansia. The genus extends from 
Luzon to New Guinea, comprising nine species — two in Luzon; two in 
Amboina, of which one extends to Celebes; one in Ternate and Halmaheira; 
and four in New Guinea. The Bornean Schuurmansia angustifolia Hook, f., 
has been made the type of a distinct genus, Schuurmansiella, by Hallier.

Amboina, Hatiwe, Rel. Robins. 1804, September 15, 1913, in thickets, 
altitude about 250 meters, locally known as rumput bulu. 
This species was described from Amboina material, and the specimen 
cited above agrees closely with the description so far as it is comparable; 
the flowers are young, and no fruits are present. It closely resembles the 
polymorphous species known as Eurya acuminata DC., and doubtless would 
be included in that species as interpreted by Dyer in Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 
1 (1874) 285. The short-apiculate sepals are, however, characteristic, 
while the fruit is described by Blume as somewhat pubescent.
