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

In the genus Actinodaphtie Nees one new combination and one new species ace presented; in LAndera Thunb. one new combination, 4 new species and one new forma; in lAtsea Lam. one species has been reduced to synonymy, one nomen novum is presented, 5 new species are described and of 6 species new cecords are given; one species has been reinstated. The obscure Mackilus sericea Bl. is a3sumed to be conspecific with Persea bombyeina (King ex Hook, f.) Kosterm. In the genus Persea Mill. one nomen novnm, two new combinations and one new species are created and proposed. In the genus Phoebe Nees one new combination and two new species are presented

Abstract

An attempt has been made at a classification of the Lauraceae, into taxa down to the rank of subgenus. The characters and their taxonomic value are discussed amply. A system of the family and keys are given. Two subfamilies, viz Lauroideae and Cassythoideae, are recognized; several new tribes, subtribes and subgenera have been described. The accepted genera, 31 in number, are surveyed, with synonyms, typification, description, and particulars. Additional notes to "The genera of Lauraceae", which appeared in 1952, are given.
THE GENUS CULLENIA Wight * (Bombacaceae) A. J. G. H. KOSTERMANS

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.
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

 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.
