superficial resemblance in the form of their leaves. So the stamens are 
very differently shaped (in the description of Aporosa campamlata 
Ic. bog. Ill, 72, a line is missing, but the delineation is very clear), 
the ovarycells in Distylium contain only one, those in Aporosa two 
ovules, and the style in the two genera is distinct. Moreover the 
inflorescence and leaves (nervation, hairiness, leafstalk etc.) are unlike 
in both plants. 
Distylium stellare 0. K. in Herb. Kds. only is represented by 2 
specimens. However I thinls, that 0. Kuntze placed the plant in the 
right family and genus. 
Aporosa campanulata. J. J. S. is a true Euphorbiacea and doubtless 
an Aporosa. (The plant probably belongs to the Philippine A. spliaeri- 
clophora Merr.). 
Distylium stellare 0. K. in Herb. Kds. is represented from the 
following places: 
“Wildhoutaanplant” near pasanggrahan Pengalengan, 1400 m. above 
sealevel, afd. Bandoeng, res. Preanger. Therefore probably not of 
spontaneous growth here. 
Forest Bentjana on G. Slamat, 1360—1500 m. above sealevel, 
afd. and res. Tegal. 
Near pasanggrahan Simpar on the northslope of G. Slamat, res. 
Tegal. 
Forest near the summit of G. Prahoe, 2200—2550 m. above 
sealevel, Dieng-plateau, res. Bagelen. On one of the sheets from this 
habitat “Dieng-kultuur” is noted. 
Forest Mantren, afd. Magelang, res. Kedoe. 
“Wildhoutkultuur” on G. Sindoro, Myriea near Kledoeng, 1405 in. 
above sealevel, res. Kedoe. 
The plant was first (1891) designated by Dr. Koorders as Flacourtia 
sp. and Flacourtia n. sp., the specimen from Pengalengan as - 
Aporosa ? Later most of the specimens were labelled Mallotus sp. 
(n. 11), while finally (in 1899) all specimens were named Aporosa ? 
aurita Baill. The sheet from Mantren bears a label, written in 1898; • 
Euphorbiaceae (?? Genus dubium Boerl. et Kds.). 
All these labels are in the handwriting of Dr. Koorders. 
Aporosa Campanulata J. J. S. is represented in Herb. Kds. from • 
Takoka, 1200 m, above sealevel, afd. Tjiandjoer, res. Preanger. 
Tjigenting, 1450 m. above sealevel, afd. Bandoeng, res. Preanger. 
Forest Grendjeng, near Bringombo, 1800 m. above sealevel, af • 
Bandjarnegara, res. Banjoemas. 
Dr. Koorders determinated the plant rightly as an Aporosa ,
