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

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.

Abstract

For the Malaysian region three species and one variety of Pterocymbium are recognized,viz. P. beccarii K. Schumann, P.tinctorium (Blanco)Merrill,with var.javanicum(R. Brown) Kostermans and P.tubulatum (Masters) Pierre. Pterocymbium parviflorum Merrill is reduced to P. tubulatum; P. eamvanulatum Pierre,P.macrocrater Warburg,and P.viridiflorum Koorders are reduced to P. tinc- torium;P. stipitatum White & Francis is reduced to P.beccarii; whereas P.javanicum R.Brown is reduced to a variety of P.tinctorium,Pterocymbium tinctorium var.java- nicum (R. Brown) Kostermans var. nov.An enumeration of the specimens examined follows upon the annotations to each of the species recognized. Pterocymbium gigantifolium Elmer is referred to Sterculia L.under the name of Sterculia membranifolia Kostermans nom. nov.

Abstract

In Ceylon 2 species of Cynometra occur, the wide spread C. iripa of the mangroves, which was enumerated as Cynometra ramiflora var. heterophylla by Thwaites and wrongly included in C. ramiflora by Knaap-van Meeuwen and the new species C. zeylanica Kosterm., formerly thought to be the Malesian C. ramiflora. The latter, as defined by Prain and based on a Rumphian plate, does not occur in Ceylon. Cultivated is the Malesian C. cauliflora with a white- and a pink-flowered forms.

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.
