xi, c, 6 Merrill: Reliquiae Robinsonianae 309 
ERYCIBE Roxburgh 
ERYCIBE LATERIFLORA Elm. Leaf!. Philip. Bot. 5 (1913) 1767. 
Amboina, Hitoe lama, Rel. Robins. 1822, November 6, 1913, in forests at 
an altitude of about 75 meters. 
Previously known only from Palawan, Philippine Islands. 
BORAGINACEAE 
EHRETIA Linnaeus 
EHRETIA M ICROPH YLLA Lam. 111. 1 (1791-97) 425. 
Ehretia btixifolia Roxb. PI. Coromandel. 1 (1795) 42, t. 57. 
Amboina, from cultivated (?) plants in the town of Amboina, Rel. 
Robins. 1850, September 13, 1913, locally known as te. 
India to Malaya and the Marianne Islands. 
HELIOTROPIUM Linnaeus 
HELIOTROPIUM INDICUM Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 130. 
Amboina, in the town of Amboina about houses, Rel. Robins. 1851, Nov- 
ember 21, 1913. 
Widely distributed in the tropics of the Old World. 
TOURNEFORTIA Linnaeus 
TOURNEFORTIA SARMENTOSA Lam. 111. 1 (1791-97) 416. 
Amboina, Liang, Rel. Robins. 1852, November 29, 1913, climbing over 
trees at low altitudes. 
Mauritius, Java, Timor, and the Philippines. 
The Amboina plant seems to be specifically identical with the Philip- 
pines form that Gagnepain, Not. Syst. 3 (1914) 33, states is identical with 
Lamarck’s type, which was from Mauritius. 
VERBENACEAE 
GEUNSIA Blume 
GEUNSIA PENTANDRA (Roxb.) comb. nov. 
Callicarpa pentandra Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 83, nomen nudum, FI. 
Ind. ed. 2, 1 (1832) 395. 
Geunsia hookeri Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 7 (1912) Bot. 342. 
Amboina, Soja, Rel. Robins. 1860, October 24, 1913, in light forests at 
an altitude of about 300 meters; Koesoekoesoe sereh, Rel. Robins. 1861, 
October 3, 1913, in light forests at an altitude of about 275 meters. 
Callicarpa pentandra Roxb. was very inadequately described, the original 
description being as follows: “10. C. pentandra R. Shrubby, tender parts 
mealy. Leaves opposite, with an alternate one between, oblong, entire, 
cuspidate. Corymbs axillary. Flowers pentandrous. Stigma from three 
to four-lobed. A native of the Moluccas.” It has been reduced to Geunsia 
farinosa Blume, but the Amboina specimens do not agree with those from 
Java and the Malay Peninsula. I consider that the specimens cited above 
represent exactly the same species that I recently described from Philippine 
material as Geunsia hookeri, and accordingly have adopted Roxburgh’s 
specific name for it in place of the more recent Geunsia hookeri Merr. 
So far this particular species is known only from the Philippines and 
Amboina.
