Hitherto this species had only been mentioned in the literature for 
Java (comp. Koord. & Valeton Bijdr. Booms. Java Y. (1900) p. 30; 
Warburg and Engler & Prantl Natiirl. Pflanzenfam. HI. 6 a. p. 45). 
I have now, however, also found in ’s Rijks Herbarium at Leiden 
specimens from Sumatra, which are beyond any doubt identical with 
the Javanese Bennettia leprosipes. These specimens are : 
Sumatra, Padangsche Bovenlanden, on the Singalan (Beccari ! nr. 51 
and 324, anno 1878), Sumatra, Hochangkola, Batak countries, in the 
woods at 300—1000 metres above sea-level (Jcnghuhn! — anno 
1839? = Herb. Lugd. Bat. n. 127 (898/260)). 
The Javanese specimens of Bennettia leprosipes in ’s Rijks 
Herbarium at Leiden are the following: Java, withour further indi¬ 
cation of locality (Hobseiei.d. — ex. Herb. Utrecht). Java, without 
further locality (Graf von Hofpmannseg ex Herb. Hasskarl). Western 
Java, Preanger (Plantae Junghuhn. ! ineditae n. 546, 547, 548 and 
549). Central-Java, G. Oengaran (Junghuhn !). I did not observe 
in s Rijks Herbarium any specimen from Eastern Java, although this 
species was also found by me in that part of Java in very large 
numbers, e.g. in the woods of the Rahoen-Idjen-mountains at 1000- 
1500 metres above sea level; it was also collected by me. (comp. 
Koord. & Valeton I. c. 30). The species is frequent in the whole of 
Java below 1600 metres above sea level, in heterogeneous, evergreen 
woods. 
It is my pleasant duty to record here my thanks to Prof. D. G. J. M. 
oi®, °f ^ aris ’ f° r Ms kindness in sending me the authentic specimens 
of Xylosma fragrans Decaisne and of Xylosma leprosipes Clos.
