Abstract

The genus Durio comprises, as far as known, 27 species. The centre of distribution is Borneo with 19 species, followed by Malaya with 11 species and Sumatra with 7 species. It is likely, when Sumatra will be better explored, that this island will prove to have many more species. An exclave of the area of distribution is found in Burma, where one endemic species occurs. The common Durio zibethinus Murr. probably originated in Borneo or in Sumatra. It is now widely cultivated outside of its former area and in many places it has become spontaneous. The genus Durio is subdivided into two subgenera: Durio and Boschia Kosterm. & Soegeng, according to the way of dehiscence of the anthers (with a longitudinal slit in the former, with an apical pore in the latter). A key to the species is proposed. A map is added, to show distribution and endemism. Each species is amply described and provided with a drawing . Economic and ecological data are given.

Abstract

Cullenia excelsa Wight in Pearson & Brown, Commerc. Timb. India 1: 141, t. 51 1932; Foxworthy in Philipp. J. Sci. Bot. 4: 500. 1909; Trotter, Common Comm. Timb. India 65. 1901. Foxworthy in Philip. J. Sci. Bot. 4: 500. 1909. Fruit collected in January 1958 from the tree cultivated in the Bogor. Botanical Garden (no. XVI H. 13) enables me to correct and emendate the description published in "Communication of the Forest Research Institute, Bogor" no. 51 (1956) and in Reinwardtia 4 : 69.1956. The ripe fruit are dirty green outside, they open on the branches and the seed falls out immediately. Each fruit contains from one to 5 seeds, the common number, however, is one, the others do not develop; the fruit becomes pseudo-unilocular. The chestnut brown seeds are completely enveloped by a lightbrown, somewhat glassy, slightly juicy and hardly sweet, furrowed aril of 2-4 mm thickness; the apical part of the aril is more or less fimbriate. Figs. 38, 39.

Abstract

The following is an account and description of new species of Asiatic and one Fijian species of Parinari Aublet, originally intended to be included into a forthcoming monographic treatment of the Asiatic Parinari species Dr.Yan Prance (New York Botanical Garden) has informed me, that his revision and new classification of genera of the Chrysobalanoideae will be published soon and consequently I have deferred the publication of my monograph to a later date.The species here are treated in a conservative way and described as belonging to the genus Parinari sensu lato; between brackets I have added the section to which the species belongs.

Abstract

Dr. Airy Shaw (Van Steenis, Fl. Males. Ser. I, 6(1): 48. 1960),referred Hornera Jungh.(Tijdschr. natuurl. Geschied. & Physiol. 7: 314. 1840) ten-tatively to Lauraceae.Hornera was described in an article with the misleading title: Nova genera et species plantarum Javanicum, as the species numbered 22 to 27 are from Japan. Under no. 22 there is a remark: "siccatam e regius japonico accepi".Flora Malesiana gives no clue where this Japanese collection came from; no collecting localities and no collectors are mentioned by Junghuhn).According to Maximowicz (in Bentham & Hooker f., Gen. PI. 3: 188-189. 1880) the genus should not be Japanese; this wrong statement is apparently due to the fact, that Maximowicz could not attribute the genus in its circumscription to any Japanese plant.

Abstract

THE OLDEST SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR THE CINNAMON TREE Cinnamomum zeylanicum BL, 1826, has been currently considered to be the proper name for the common cinnamon tree.This name was already in use during the pre-Linnean period (cf. Kostermans, Bibliogr. Laur. 364.1964).The oldest valid name, however, is Cinnamomum verum J.S. Presl,1825, This is not a pharmaceutical name, as is evident from the references cited by Presl and by the treatment of other species. For complete references cf. Kostermans, Bibl. Laur. 360, 1964.
