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

The monotypic genus Cullenia was established by Wight (Icones PI. Ind. or. 5 (1) : pi. 1761-62 & text, 1851), who differentiated it from Durio Adans. mainly by the lack of a corolla and the position and shape of the anthers.The only species, originally described as Durio ceylanicus by Gardner, was cited by Wight as Cullenia excelsa Wight. K. Schumann corrected the specific epithet rather casually and atributed it (wrongly)to Wight. Bentham (in Benth. & Hook.,Gen. pi. 1: 212. 1867); Baillon (Hist. pi. 4: 159. 1872), Masters (in Hook, f., Fl. Br. Ind. 1: 350. 1874) and Beccari (Malesia 3: 219. 1889) accepted the genus.Bakhuizen van den Brink (in Bull. Jard. bot. Buitenzorg III, 6: 228.1924) incorporated the genus in Durio.In my opinion Cullenia represents a "good" genus by its lack of corolla.Alston, although accepting Bakhuizen's reduction, informed me personally, that he, too, is inclined to consider Cullenia different from Durio.The pollen were described as being naked and pedicellate by Gardner; this wrong statement was corrected by Wight; the anthers are pedicellate and one-celled.In this paper a new Cullenia species is described, which strengthens the position of the genus; both species are restricted to the rain forest region of Ceylon and the Southern Indian Peninsula.

Abstract

In 1966 an expedition worked in W. Irian to find the sources of vegetal medicaments for practising contraception. Dr. W. Soegeng Reksodihardjo and myself were assigned to locate the plants and to bring the material together. The field testing (vaginal smears of injected white mice) was carried out by Dr. R. C. Barnett, whereas the Office of General Hartono of the Indonesian Army provided transportation.

Abstract

 1. A new monotypic genus, Kalappia Kostermans, is established for a tree of commercial importance from Celebes, K. celebica Kostermans. The genus is assigned to Caesalpiniaceae (Tribus Cassiae).2. The Papilionaceous genus Desmofischera Holth.(only species: D.monosperma Holth.) is reduced to a synonym of Monarthrocarpus Merr.[only species: M. securiformis (Benth.) Merr.]. Additional collections, from Morotai, are cited.
THE GENUS DURIO Adans. (Bombac.) A. J. G. H. KOSTERMANS

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.
THE IDENTITY OF HORNERA Jungh. (Thymeleaceae) A. J. G. H. KOSTERMANS

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 history of the genus and the arguments for merging it with Aglaia,,areexpounded.The section Lansium of Aglaia is characterized by simple hairs and contains 15 species.Aglaia kinabaluensis, A. intricatoreticulata, A. membrartacea and A. chartacea are new to science.New combinations: Aglaia anamallayana, aquea, breviracemosa, dubia, koster- mansii, pedicellata, sepalina. New names: A. steenisii (base: L. pedicellatum Kosterm.), A. pseudolansium (base: L.cinereum Hiern).The genus Reinwardtiodendron Koorders is merged with Aglaia (sect Lansium);new name: A. reinwardtiana (base R. celebicum Kds.).Excluded are: Lansium decandrum Roxb. and L. hum.ile Hassk., which are referred to Aphanamixis (A. decandra and A. humile, comb, nov.).

Abstract

Kayea Wallich, PI. As. rar. 3: 5. 1832 and Mesua L., Spec. PI. 515.1753 are very closely related.Bentham and Hooker (Gen. PI. 1: 176. 1862) distinguished both generain this way, that Kayea has a one-celled ovarium with one seed and a4-fid style, whereas Mesua has a 2-celled ovary and 4 ovules, the stigmabeing peltate.
