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

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

Cullenia excelsa Wight in Pearson & Brown, Commerc. Timb. India 1: 141, t. 51 1932; Foxworthy in Philipp. J. Sci. Bot. 4: 500. 1909; Trotter, Common Comm. Timb. India 65. 1901. Foxworthy in Philip. J. Sci. Bot. 4: 500. 1909. Fruit collected in January 1958 from the tree cultivated in the Bogor. Botanical Garden (no. XVI H. 13) enables me to correct and emendate the description published in "Communication of the Forest Research Institute, Bogor" no. 51 (1956) and in Reinwardtia 4 : 69.1956. The ripe fruit are dirty green outside, they open on the branches and the seed falls out immediately. Each fruit contains from one to 5 seeds, the common number, however, is one, the others do not develop; the fruit becomes pseudo-unilocular. The chestnut brown seeds are completely enveloped by a lightbrown, somewhat glassy, slightly juicy and hardly sweet, furrowed aril of 2-4 mm thickness; the apical part of the aril is more or less fimbriate. Figs. 38, 39.

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.

Abstract

1. The genera Heritiera Ait., Argyrodendron F.v.M. and Tarrietia Bl. are united.2. The genus comprises 29 species ranging from India, Malaysia, New Guinea and the Pacific region to tropical Australia (2 species, of which one extends to Celebes) and 2 species in tropical Africa.3. The following ten species are described here for the first time: Heritiera arafurensis Kosterm., H. aurea Kosterm., H. burmensis Kosterm., H. catappa Kosterm,H. cordata Kosterm., H. globosa Kosterm., H. macroptera Kosterm., H. novoguineensis Kosterm, H. percoriacea Kosterm., and H. pterospermoides Kosterm.4. The following ten new combinations are created: Heritiera actinophylla (Bailey) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia actinophylla Bailey), H. albiflora (Ridley) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia albiflora Ridley), H. borneensis (Merr.) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia borneensis Merr.), H. densiflora (Pellegrin) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia densiflora (Pellegrin) Aubreville et Normand), H. jaranica (Bl.) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia javanica Bl.), H. kiinstleri (King) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia kunstleri King), H. peralata (Domin) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia peralata Domin), H. simplicifolia (Mast.) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia simplicifolia Mast.), H. sumatrana (Miq.) Kosterm. (basionym: Tarrietia sumatrana Miq.), and H. trifoliolata (F.v. M.) Kosterm. (basionym: Argyrodendron trifoliolatum F. v. M.).5. The following fifteen species are reduced to synonymy: Argyrodendron amboinensis Haberlandt; Heritiera acuminata Wall, ex Kurz, H. annamensis Lecomte,H. minor Lam. H. tothila (Gaertn.) Kurz, H. vespertilio Kurz; Tarrietia actinodendron Guilfoyle, T. amboinensis Hochr, T. Argyrodendron Benth., T. carroni Moore, T. curtisii King, T. perakensis King, T. riedeliana Oliv., T. rubiginosa Kosterm. and T. - unifoliolata Ridley. 6. The following seven species are excluded from the genus: Heritiera attenuata Wall., H. grandis Fisch. ex Steud., H. spectabilis Baill., H. tinctoria Blanco; Tarrietia barteri (Mast.) Hochr., T. erythrosiphon (Baill.) Hochr. and T. perrieri Hochr,
