Abstract

1. Seven species of the genus Diplodiscus are described, of which three (D. microlepis, D. parviflorus and D. decumbens) are new to science, and one (D. hookerianus) was formerly described as Pentace (for the description of D. decumbens cf. p. 264). 2. The area of distribution of the genus covers the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and the Philippines. 3. The affinities of the genus are discussed. 4. A key to the species is presented.

Abstract

1. The present notes on Teijsmanniodendron are based on a study of the specimens from Herbarium Bogoriense and the Herbarium of the Singapore Botanic Garden. 2. The taxonomic value of the principal characters and their variation are discussed. Each of the species recognized is annotated. 3. A delimitation and subdivision of the genus in two sections, 'Plurifoliolatae Kosterm.' and 'Unifoliolatae Kosterm.,' is proposed. 4. A key to the 12 species and 1 variety distinguished, is included. 5. One new species is provisionally described (but not named), and one new variety, Teijsmanniodendron pteropodum var. auriculatum Kosterm., is published. 6. The following new combinations are made: Teijsmanniodendron coriaceum B. Clarke) Kosterm., T. hollrungii (Warb.) Kosterm., T. holophyllum (Bak.) Kosterm., T.novoguineense (Kan. & Hatus.) Kosterm., T. sarawakanum (H. H. W. Pears.)Kosterm., T. smilacifolium (H. H. W. Pears.) Kosterm., and T. subspieatum (Hallier f.) Kosterm. 7.. The genus Xerocarpa H. 3. Lam (non Spach) is rejected; its only species,X. avicenniaefoliola H. J. Lam, is referred to Teijsmanniodendron ahernianum (Merr.)Bakh. In addition, the following reductions are made: Teijsmanniodendron monophyllum Kurata = T. hollrungii (Warb.) Kosterm.; Vitex bankae H. J. Lam = T.ahernianum (Merr.) Bakh., V. bogoriensis H. J. Lam = T. ahernianum (Merr.) Bakh.;V. koordersii H. J. Lam t= T. pteropodum (Miq.) Bakh.; V. tetragona Hallier f. =T. sarawakanum (H. H. W. Pears.) Kosterm.; V. venosa H. J. Lam = T. coriaceum (C. B. Clarke) Kosterm. Possible identity of T. longifolium (Merr.) Merr. and T.bogoriense is suggested: the identity of T. simplicifolium Merr. and T. smilacifolium(H. H-, W. Pears.) Kosterm. is indicated as probable. 8. Vitex subspicata Hallier f. and V. holophylla Bak., included by Lam in Vitae hollrungii Warb., are reinstated as distinct species of Teijsmanniodendron.

Abstract

During the exploration of the Momi-Ransiki region, about 80 km south of Manokwari on the west coast of the Geelvink Bay in Netherlands New Guinea in 1948,our party collected several specimens of a rather common,although scattered Annonaceous tree,which was locally called mies (pronounce: meece).I was lucky to find one tree in flower in the neighbourhood of the Warnapi (war = river), north of Ransiki.After examination the species appeared to belong to the genus Saccopetalum Benn.,hitherto unknown from New Guinea.In honour of Dr. J.Kools,'at that time in charge of the Division of Planning (nowadays Professor at the State Agricultural University of Wageningen, The Netherlands), who took a lively interest in the exploration of this area, this species is called
