species, which is fully described and excellently figured, to Fagraea elliptica 
Roxb. The Amboina specimens certainly represent Roxburgh’s species, 
which was originally described from Moluccan material, probably from 
Amboina specimens. The description, which is wholly inadequate, follows: 
“Leaves opposite, short-petioled, broad-elliptic, smooth, and firm. Corymbs 
terminal, more than super-decompound. Tube of the corol cylindric. A 
native of the Moluccas.” 
Java and Amboina.

The form is the one designated by Hochreutiner as Cynoctonum mi- 
treola (Linn.) Britt, var. orthocarpa Hochr. in Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 6 
(1910) 284, i. e. strictly Mitreola oldenlandioides Wall. The species is 
exceedingly variable, and is widely distributed in the tropics of both 
hemispheres.

Amboina, Hatiwe, Rel. Robins. 203 U, September 15, 1913, a small tree, 
about 5 m high, in light forests, altitude about 250 meters, locally known 
as kayu tai. 
Probably an undescribed species, but the specimen presents no flowers, 
only very old fruits. The only species of the genus previously reported 
from Amboina is Geniostoma moluccanum Valeton in Bull. Inst. Bot. 
Buitenz. 12 (1902) 19, which, from the description, is a species entirely 
different from the one represented by the specimen cited above.
