Abstract

Barchewitz reached the islet of Leti,in the southwestern Moluccas,on September 2, 1714;he returned to Europe in September 1720, having represented the East India Company on Leti for six years.Like so many of his contemporaries he wrote a book on his life's adventures.This work appeared in 1730 and proved a success. A second, slightly enlarged, edition followed in 1751,entitled "Neu-vermehrte Ost-Indianische Reise- Beschreibung."Barchewitz is the earliest author on the natural history of Leti and -he paid attention to a number of plants.The present note is mainly a survey of the botany contained in his book.Ernst Christoph Barchewitz was born at the close of the 17th century at Grosz-Sommerda near Erfurt.He was bound apprentice to a tawer at Erfurt but soon preferred to travel ("Wanderschaft") with his brother to Holland.He visited the larger towns,learned at the Hague the art of dressing and the barber's craft,and became the valet de chambre of the Imperial Ambassador,Baron von Heems,whom he accompanied to Austria and the southern Netherlands.He ended his service at Delft Where he enlisted with the East India Company.As a soldier he embarked at Hellevoetsluis on the "Voorburg," sailing April 1, 1711.The treatment on board he judged to be fair; his only objection was that he had to drink water whereas wine would have seemed very suitable.After a stay at Batavia (December 20,1711 till January 29, 1712),he was garrisoned on Banda, where he remained till August 15, 1714. He left when he was appointed Corporal of Leti.The following pertains to the second edition of Barchewitz's book, the pages referred to are cited between brackets.All quotations have been translated.

Abstract

1. The present paper is the author's second revision of the genus Archidendron.The validity of the genus is briefly discussed.2. The genus has its centre of speciation in New Guinea. The number of speciestreated is 31, not counting a few insufficiently known species. A key is given to thespecies and varieties, which are described.3. The following are new species or varieties: Archidendron affine De Wit,A. calliandrum De Wit, A. dies-Christi De Wit, A. nervosum De Wit, A. parviflorumvar. longipes De Wit, and A. trifoliolatum De Wit.4. New combinations are: Archidendron gogolense (K. Schum. & Laut.) De Wit(basonym: Hansemannia gogolense K. Schum. & Laut.) and A.lucyi var. schleohterii(Harms) De Wit (basonym: Archidendron schlechterii Harms). .

Abstract

This revision deals with the tribus Bauhinieae(Caesalpiniaceae)as occurring in Malaysia.The tribe includes the genera Bauhinia L. s.str., Bracteolanthus de Wit gen. nov., Gigasiphon Drake del Cast.,Lasiobema (Korth.) Miq., Lysiphyllum (Benth.)de Wit gen. & stat. nov., Phanera Lour.,and Piliostigma Hochst. Bauhinia is reduced to the original Lin-nean delimitation; 9 species are treated (inclusive of a number of varieties) ; 2 species are reduced to the rank of varieties and 3 new varieties are described, accounting for 3 new varietal combinations and 3 new varietal names.Bracteolanthus contains a single species for which a new combination is proposed. Gigasiphon is represented by 3 species; 3 new specific combinations are made.Lasiobema is represented by 5 species; in this ge- nus 1 new species is described, 4 new combinations and 1 new varietal combination are proposed,and a new but insufficiently represented species is recorded.Some new combinations for extra-Malaysian species are also proposed.Of Lysiphyllum 2 species are treated; 2 new combinations and some new combinations for extra-Malaysian species were necessary.Pha-nera is by far the largest genus:44 species,many of which are divided into subspecies and/or varieties.The genus is subdivided into three sub-genera, Phanera,Biporina de Wit, and Austrocercis de Wit.Of these,subgenus Phanera, in its turn, contains 3 sections, all new, viz Pha.nero-siphon, Meganthera, and Micranthera.Subgenus Biporina comprises the 3 new sections Bifoliola, Palmatifolia,and Cinnamomifolia. Subgenus Austrocercis consists of a single species.The recognition of Phanera as a genus, as well as the description of new taxa and the revaluation of some previously described ones made necessary a large number of new names and new combinations.
