A REVISION OF THE MOSS GENUS, HYMENOSTYLIELLA, 


WITH DESCRIPTION OF SPOROPHYTE 


Harold Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 


Hymenostyliella is among those Pottiaceous genera having 
broadly lanceolate leaves with incurved margins and circinnate 
points when dry, similar vegetatively to Timmiella and Hyophila. 
The leaf cells bulging adaxially in a single layer and with 
greatly thickened corners prompted Bartram (1939) to establish a 
new genus even without fruiting material. 

Until the present, the genus has been known only from Luzon 

Island in the Philippines, but a series of specimens has recently 
been obtained from around a sulfur spring in the Kumaon District 
of northern Uttar Pradesh, India. This material bears sporo- 
phytes which are lateral from small axillary perichaetia. 
Slight peculiarities of the upper surface of the costa recall a 
brazilian species, Timmiella alata Herz., and I also place that 
species in Hymenostyliella. The following descriptions and key 
are intended to help in further understanding the genus. 


Hymenostyliella Bartram, Philippine Journ. Sci. 68: 108. 1939. 


Stems densely foliate, erect, with central strand. Leaves 
oblong lanceolate, strongly incurved when dry with inrolled 
margins, widely spreading when moist; costa percurrent or 
excurrent in short micro, in section with two stereid bands, 
adaxial surface with row ridges or distinct wings; upper leaf 
cells isodiametric, unistratose, flat abaxially, highly convex 
adaxially; basal cells oblong, more lax. Perichaetia in lateral 
buds. Setae elongate, smooth; urn erect, smooth; peristome 
lacking; operculum very long rostrate, longer than urn; calyptra 
not seen. 


Key to the species of Hymenostyliella 


1. Adaxial surface of costa with only low serrulate ridges 
H. llanosii 
1. Adaxial surface of costa with 2 large wings H. alata 


The following synonymy and descriptions have been compiled 
from the literature and from the collections of H. llanosii 
from India.

Rather robust plants with stems 2-3 cm‘high, stems sparsely 
branching, rather densely tufted, densely foliate with leaves 
often in interrupted tufts, radiculose throughout. Leaves 
narrowly linear elliptical, sharply acute, 4-5 mm long, 0.5 mm 
wide, canaliculate-concave, margins inflexed and slightly repand 
in upper half, erect and entire below; base not or scarcely 
narrower; costa stout, to 120 y» wide at base, percurrent; adaxial 
cells of upper costa usually in 3 rather prominent rows, short 
with distal ends projecting, rows viewed from side as very low 
serrulate ridge; upper cells of lamina rather large, 10-12 y, 
wide, 10-15 y long, lumens angular with prominent thickened 
corners, abaxial surface flattened with a very thick wall, 
adaxial surface strongly mamillose with very fine striations on 
surface; basal cells colorless, not enlarged, quadrate to short 
rectangular, 10-12 » wide, 8-20 y long with rather irregularly 
thickened walls, a few cells at the margin very narrow. 
Dioicous. Perigonal numerous on male plants in axils of leaves, 
minute, to 0.5-0.6 mm long; bracts broadly ovate with short 
sharp acumination; costa slender, 20-25 y wide; cells smooth, 
median and basal thin walled. Perichaetia ca. 2.0 mm long; 
inner leaves with colorless bases to 0.5 mm long, slender green 
tips 0.2 mm wide, costa to 50 y wide at base; upper cells except 
marginal rather mamillose adaxially, with thickened angles. 
Sporophyte reddish-brown; setae ca. 4 mm long, urn 1.0 x 0.5 m, 
smooth and shining castaneous, few stomates at the base, exo- 
thecial cells mostly ca. 25 wy wide, 25-50 y long, near mouth 
3-4 rows quadrate 10-15 x15 yw; operculum erect, dark throughout, 
to 1.5 mm long. Spores 10-12 » in diam., very minutely 
papillose.

The new collections represent a 3000 mile extension of the 


1971 Robinson, Revision of Hymenostyliella 3 


known range of the species. The species may be more common than 
the collections indicate, but it mst fruit rarely. 

The fact that Brotherus validated Miiller's epithet seems to 
have been overlooked by later authors. The simple descriptive 
statement in german by Brotherus (1902) was sufficient for 
validation at that time. 


Hymenostyliella alata (Herz.) H.Robinson, comb. nov. 
Timmiella alata Herz., Arch. Bot. Est. S. Paulo 1(2): 61. 
1925. 


Stems to 1.5 cm high, sparsely branched, rigid, densely 
foliate. Leaves narrowly oblong-lanceolate, acute, 2.5 mm long, 
0.3 mm wide, canaliculate-concave, cucullate, sometimes mucro- ’ 
nate, all but basal margins broadly involute; base scarcely 
broader than blade, short elliptical; nerve percurrent, bearing 
2 prominent wings adaxially; wings ca. 12 cells high, i cell 
thick; cells of upper lamina small, mamillose adaxially; basal 
cells rectangular, yellowish, subpellucid. Dioicous? Sporophyte 
unknown. 

Brazil. without definite locality, liitzelburg s.n. 


Material has not been seen, but the combination of leaf 
characters and especially the adaxial surface of the costa 
indicates close relationship to Hymenostyliella llanosii (Broth. ) 
H.Robinson. Chen (1941) mentioned Herzog's species in his 
discussion of Hymenostyliella but apparently did not notice the 
slight ridging on the costa of H. llanosii. Additional material 
of H. alata should be sought and examined to confirm the 
postion of the perichaetia.

A NEW SPECIES OF CYCLODICTYON FROM COSTA RICA 


Harold Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 


The rain forests of Central Costa Rica have been noted for 
many distinctive and apparently endemic species. To these may 
now be added the following previously undescribed species of 


Cyclodictyon. 


Cyclodictyon jamesii H.Robinson, sp. nov. (Fig. 1-3) 

Planta dioica?, robustiuscula, pallide virens, fragilis, in 
cortice putrido repens. Caules prostrati elongati, irregulariter 
dense ramosi. Folia laxe imbricata, ad 2.0 mm longa, 0.8 mm 
lata, oblonga vel late ovata, integra, in partibus superioribus 
constricta, apice distincte anguste apiculata; nervis binis 
divergentibus, prope constrictionem evanescentibus; cellulis 
nervorum uniseriatis; cellulis laminarum magnis laevibus, prope 
basin oblongis, 30 » latis, ad 80 » longis, superioribus 
rotundatis, ad 40 » diam., in superficiebus abaxialibus saepe 
valde convexis, marginalibus in seriebus unicis elongatis. 

Cetera ignota. 

Costa Rica. Puntarenas: Near Monteverde, forests, 4,300 ft. 

W. James 1969-44 (US, holotype; HERB. REED, isotype). 


The species shows an unusually laxly leaved appearance for 
the genus, but the best distinguishing feature is the flat rather 
expanded apical part of the leaves. The leaf apices are rather 
fragile and undoubtedly serve as propagules. The single row of 
narrower marginal cells is most evident near the apex. The 
protruding cells on the back of the leaf are not always very 
noticeable.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (COMPOSITAE). XXXIII. 


THE GENUS GYPTIS 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


Gyptis of Cassini is the oldest name for a group of plants 
which have often mistakenly been placed in the genus Conocliniun. 
These plants which occur in Brazil and adjacent areas have flat 
receptacles, 4-26 flowers per head, thick densely setose achenes, 
very prominent papillae on the inside and outside surface of the 
corolla lobes and many hairs on the outside surface of the 
corolla lobes. The plants with their rather long scapose inflor- 
escences, compact clusters of heads and often bluish or lavender 
flowers do resemble Conoclinium (King & Robinson, 1970) and the 
related Brazilian genus, Barrosoa (King & Robinson, 197la). 
These three genera along with Lourteigia (1971b) of the northern 
Andes, share papillose outer surfaces of the corolla and highly 
ornamented walls of the anther collar cells. There is every 
reason to place them together in a group which we would refer to 
as Gyptoid. Only striking differences in pappus structure and 
slight differences in carpopodium structure separate the related 
group which we refer to as Ageratoid. 

One feature of the achene of Gyptis may be more the result 
of its shape than of relationship. The achenes are very broad 
and the minute punctations on the lateral surfaces are usually 
arranged in prominent transverse rows. Similar rows of puncta- 
tions have been observed in other groups such as Disynaphia 
which are not considered closely related. 

In G. artemisifolia, we have seen a few papillae on the 
base of the style which might suggest some relationship to the 
Eupatorioids. Distinctions between the groups are clear, 
however. One species often associated with Gyptis, Eupatorium 
oblongifolium Sch.-Bip. ex Baker is definitely a Stomatanthes 
(Robinson, 1970) in the Eupatorioid series having non-papillose 
corolla lobes and occasional stomates. 


Gyptis (Cassini) Cassini, Dict. Sci. Nat. 16: 10. 1820. 


Perennial herbs usually with tuberous tap roots. Stems 
erect, sparingly branched. Leaves opposite often becoming 
alternate above, ovate to bipinnatifid, serrulate to deeply 
cleft. Inflorescence usually densely corymbose or cymose. 
Involucre of 16-25 lanceolate to linear truncate scales in 2-3 
series; receptacle flat, glabrous. Head with 4-26 flowers, 
corollas narrowly funnelform, strongly papillose on both sur- 
faces of lobes, hairs and often glands on outer surface of lobes, 

22 


1971 King & Robinson, The genus Gyptis 23 


cells of tube narrow with sinuous walls; anther collar with 
mostly quadrate or short rectangular cells below, walls with 
transverse or oblique thickened bands. Anther appendages 
elongate with rather large cells; style base not enlarged, style 
appendages with distinct usually pointed papillae, appendages 
sometimes slightly enlarged; achenes prismatic, 5-costate, costae 
and lateral surfaces densely setiferous, minute punctations in 
rather regular transverse bands. Carpopodia very short, of very 
quadrate rather thin-walled cells. Pappus of many setae, apical 
cells of setae usually subacute or pointed. 

Type species: Gyptis pinnatifida Cassini 

Chromosome number not determined. 


Key to species of Gyptis 


1. Style branches with rather broad short-papillose appendages 
G. commersonii 
1. Style branches slender with pointed long papillae. 
2. Leaves pinnately-bipinnately dissected. 
3. Plants with few or no branches above the base, inflores- 
cence usually of one or a few rather dense corymbs or 


cymes G. pinnatifida 
3. Plants with many axillary branches, inflorescence rather 
diffuse G. artemisifolia 
2. Leaves ovate with crenate or serrate margins. 
4. Phyllaries with unmodified tips G. inornata 
4. Phyllaries with densely pubescent and often much broadened 
tips. 
5. Leaves nearly glabrous, with some short hairs near the 
margin G. alternifolia 


. Leaves densely pubescent. 

6. Leaves with short pubescence, blades elliptical- 
lanceolate G. vernoniopsis 

6. Leaves coarsely long-pubescent, blades often rhomboid- 
ovate G. lanigera 


Our studies indicate that the genus contains the following 
seven species.

The simple narrowly acute involucral bracts are very distinct 
from all the other species of the genus. In other characters, 
the species is very close to the forms of G. lanigera having 
narrowly oblong ovate leaf blades and rather spreading violet 
colored cymose to corymbose infloresences.

A NEW GENUS, BARROSOA 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 


Among the species that can be roughly sorted into the Gyptoid 
group in Brazil, there are two very distinctive groups. One, hav- 
ing very broad achenes with many setae and indistinct carpopodia 
and highly papillose style branches,is true Gyptis. The other 
group, having more slender achenes with few or no setae, very 
distinct carpopodia of large cells and rather smooth style 
branches, is here named as the new genus Barrosoa. The complex 
has been related to Conoclinium of North America. Barrosoa does 
have conical receptacles such as are found in Conoclinium, but 
Gyptis has only flat receptacles. 

Barrosoa differs from Conoclinium by the acute tips on its 
pappus setae, the very prominent carpopodia with large cells, 
the hairs on the outside of the corolla lobes and the nearly 
smooth style branches. 

The genus is also related to Lourteigia of the northern 
Andes and one species B. morichalana (Aristeguieta) R.M.King & 
H.Robinson occurs in both Venezeula and Colombia. This is, how 
ever, a plant of low elevations, occuring in llanos in the 
Orinoco region. Lourteigia is a genus of strictly higher elev- 
ations. Lourteigia also differs in the smaller cells of its 
carpopodium, the less differentiated cells on the inner surface 
of its corolla lobes and its always flat receptacles. 

We take great pleasure in naming this new genus in honor of 
Dr. Graziela Maciel Barroso, the leading authority on Brazilian 
Compositae.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (COMPOSITAE). XXXV. 


A NEW GENUS, LOURTEIGIA. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


Six species from the northern Andes are here recognized as 
a new genus related to Gyptis (King & Robinson, 197la), Cono- 
clinium (King & Robinson, 1970b), Barrosoa (King & Robinson, 
1971b) , and showing some microscopic resemblance to Fleischmannia 
(King & Robinson, 1970a). Some of the species have been referred 
to the section Conoclinium but they lack the conical receptacle 
of that group. The most distinctive features of the genus 
Lourteigia are the rather consistent presence of 20 flowers per 
head, the distinct carpopodium of small firm-walled cells and 
the extreme constriction of the achene under the pappus. In this 
latter feature, the achene is narrowed to a third or less of its 
normal width and the pappus which is easily broken off, has a 
flat or even concave undersurface. 

Some resemblance has been noted between Lourteigia and 
Fleischmannia. Actual close relationship is doubted. The cells 
on the inner surface of the corolla lobes of Lourteigia do not 
have the projecting upper ends that are so distinctive in 
Fleischmannia. In fact, the corolla lobes can hardly be called 
papillose on the inside though they have recessed walls between 
the cells. The cells on the insides of the corolla lobes are 
not markedly distinct from those of the corolla tube as they are 
in the genus Barrosoa. The cells at the base of the anther 
collars in Lourteigia are obviously short and some have oblique- 
ly or vertically oriented thickenings. The anther collars of 
Fleischmannia have only transverse thickenings and any short 
cells are not obvious. 


Lourteigia R.M.King & H.Robinson, genus novum Compositarum

Chromosome number determined as n = 10 (Powell & King, 1969). 


It is with great pleasure that we name this new genus in 
honor of Dr. Alicia Lourteig of the Laboratoire de Phanérogamie, 
Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. Her work has 
contributed greatly to the taxonomy of South American plants. 


Our studies indicate that the genus contains the following

Recent collectors describe this plant as a low woody herb, for- 
ming spreading mats, the roots large, and the calyx green, tipped 
purple. Barclay & Juajibioy 8216 is said to have had the corollas 
"lavender to almost white, deeper color in throat of tube, with 
hairs". The plant has been found growing in dry desery climates, 
in sandy soil, on rocky hillsides and dry slopes, in open deserts 
and open grassy paramos, along disturbed roadsides, and among 
sparse grasses and low plants in dry open flat areas with some sand 
dunes, at altitudes of 1200--3700 meters, flowering and fruiting 
in March, April, July, September, and November. 

Material has been misidentified and distributed in herbaria as 
Verbena microphylla H.B.K.

CALLICARPA CANDICANS (Burm. f.) Hochr. 

Prain (1903) tells us that this species is "often cultivated; 
occasionally naturalised in C[entral] Bengal. A large shrub; 
native of the Malay peninsula", called "arusha" in Bengal. Uphof 
(1968) reports that in Hindu medicine a decoction is made of the 
roots, leaves, and bark and that this is used in the treatment of 
skin diseases, parts of the plant are employed as an arrow-poison, 
and in the Philippines a decoction of the leaves is used as a 
fish-poison. 

Vidal y Soler (1885) cites Cuming 1283 from the Philippine Is- 
lands, while Chang (1951) cites C. I. Lei 731, as well as nos. 


and/or herbaria whose names, unfortunately, he gives only in 
Chinese characters. For some reason unknown to me, Chang in- 
cludes C. americana Lour. in the synonymy of what is now known as 
C. kochiana Mak., but most authorities, including myself, regard 
it as conspecific with C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. 

The H. H. Bartlett 1711 and Kjellberg 96, distributed and in 
the case of the latter also cited by me as C. candicans, are actu- 
ally C. bicolor A. L. Juss., H. H. Bartlett 1698a and Quezon 1 
(Herb. Philip. Forest. Bur. 30258] are C. erioclona Schau., and 
B. C. Stone 3931 is C. erioclona var. paucinervia (Merr.) Moldenke.

Sayers describes this plant as an erect shrub, found in regrowth 
at the sites of old village gardens in New Guinea, producing 
deep-mauve fruit. The corollas are described as "lavender" on H. 
H. Bartlett 13211 and as "pale-mauve" on Sayers N.G.F.21)99. The 
E. D. Merrill 1 "7115", cited in Phytologia 15: 20 (1967), is an 
error in transcription for E. D. Merrill 8117. The Mearns & 
Hutchinson s.n. [May 1906], “distributed as c. caudata, is | is actual-

Chang (1951) cites the K. Koch reference in the literature of 
this species as "2: 336" and he regards C. taquetii Lévl. as a 
synonym of C. dichotoma, whereas I classify it as C. japonica var. 
taquetii (Léveillé) Nakai. 

Sykes describes the corollas of C. dichotoma as "mauve" and 
the fruit as “purple, globose, shining", questioning whether his 
no. 202/66 is the "?same plant as no, 156063". Santamour (1967) 
gives its chromosome number as n = 18, 

Tatnall (1947) notes that the species was "escaped and well 
established in a swampy thicket along Lee's River, Wilmington. 
Locality long since destroyed". Radford, Ahles, & Bell (196) 
aver that it is "rare in bogs" in Henderson County, North Caroli- 
na, flowering there from July to frost and fruiting from Septem- 
ber to frost. Additional vernacular names for the plant are 
"ko-shikibu" and "purple pearl", the former recorded from Japan, 
the latter from Hongkong. Ohwi (1965) gives its distribution as 
"Honshiu, Shikoku, Hyushu, Korea, Ryukyus, Formosa". 

Thornberry (1966) implies that the following fungi are known 
to (or may) attack this species: Atractilina callicarpae Dearn.

Cke., Coniothyrium callicarpae Cke., Meliola cookeana Soeg., Nec-

Quezon describes this plant as attaining a height of ) Mey 
growing in open cultivated areas, and used as a fish-poison in 
Mindanao. Gibbs (1917) states that it is common at the edges of 
forests and in clearings, flowering and fruiting in January. He 
cites Gibbs 6205 and Lesson s.n. from New Guinea and Teijsmann 
s.n. from Mansinama Island. He says "This plant is distinguish- 
ed from C. cana L. by the large, more lanceolate, irregularly 
serrate leaves, with very white pubescence underneath, and white 
flowers with longer exserted stamens. C. repanda K. Sch. & Warb. 
is possibly a synonym of this plant."

it seems to me that under the present edition of the Internati-

mains the same as was originally designated by Ptei, viz., W. Y. 
Chun 5828. Chang (1951) gives the following eeaied and ampli-_

A very interesting letter from my friend and colleagues, Dr. 
E. H. Walker, dated July 26, 1968, contains a paragraph which is 
well worth quoting in full here: "In 1966 you verified Field & 
Lowe 6m as Callicarpa glabra Koidz. and in 1952 Walker & Tawada 
6507 07 as the same. Both are cited in Phytol. lj: 236. 1967. In 
general they match your description. Field & Lowe &m has flowers. 
You describe the corollas as 'resinous pun punctate on the outside! 
the anthers 'resinous punctate on both sides'. I do not find 
such glands on the corolla, only on the anthers. In this speci- 
men the calyx has a single row of relatively large distinctive 
peltate scales just below the rim. The other specimen, 6507, is 
in fruit. The calyx lacks the distinctive scales, the fruits 
are glandular, the leaves distinctly narrower, and the branchlets 
gray, probably simply having matured beyond the early 'dark 
purplish or black' condition described. Perhaps these discrepan- 
cies are not significant. I have adjusted my description, 
based in part on yours (since you have seen more specimens than 
I have), to the variations in these two specimens, except for 
the peltate scales, which are ignored."

It is worth mentioning here that Masamune (1955) regards the 
"C. japonica Thunb." of Maximowicz (1886), Matsumura (1899 & 1912, 
insofar as Ryukyu specimens are concerned), Kuroiwa [1900, "p.p. 
(sic mollis)"], Kawagoe (1915), Simada (1917), Wilson (1920), 
Sakaguchi (192), and Makino & Nemoto (1936, insofar as Ryukyu 
specimens are concerned) as applying to C. japonica var. luxurians 
Rehd. That of Tasiro (189) he thinks may actually refer to C. 
mollis Sieb. & Zucc. Sykes refers to his two collections cited 
below as having had "mauve" corollas, the fruit "becoming mauve", 
and fruiting in March. Recent collectors describe the plant as a 
deciduous shrub, to 1.5 m. tall. They have found it growing in 


2 PELY T,0 L0G, Ek Vol. 21, now 1 


littoral scrub on Ishigaki Island, while on Miyako Island it is 
said to be "occasional in Pandanus scrub on limestone", forming a 
low bush 0.6 m. tall. The corollas on F. R. Fosberg 38312 are 
said to have been "lilac". Hyland (1969) describes the fruit as 
"purplish". Lawrence (1967) points out that the "deep purple" 
fruits, which he erroneously refers to as "berries", begin to 
color in August and drop off by October in the southern United 
States. Santamour records the chromosome count as n= 18. An 
additional vernacular variant recorded for the species ig the 
Japanese "“ohmurasaki-shikibu", Hirata (1966) records the powdery 
mildew fungus, Microsphaera alni, as attacking this plant. Ohwi 


(1965) describes the plant as common and variable on the islands 
of Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. He includes C. japoni- 
ca f. angustifolia Miq. in its synonymy, but I regard Miquel's 
name as a synonym of C. japonica var. angustata Rehd. 

Ohwi (1965) keys out the Japanese forms of the genus as recog- 
nized by him as follows [with the nomenclature brought up to 
date]: 

1. Plants glabrous or thinly pubescent; calyx glabrous, with 
very short teeth. 
2. Leaf-blades caudate, glandular-dotted on both surfaces...... 
C. japonica var. luxurians 
2a. Leaf-blades acuminate to acute at the apex, glandular- 
dotted on the underside only. 
3. Cymes supra-axillary; anthers broadly ellipsoidal......... 
C. dichotoma 
3a. Cymes axillary. A

5. Leaves 5--10 cm. long, rounded to obtuse at the base;

1 mm. long; calyx-lobes lanceolate; flowers 4—-5 mn. long, 
about 10 in a cyme; anthers 1.5-—-2 mm. long......C. mollis 
Sa. Leaves 15--30 cm. long, gradually narrowed at the base; 
branches and petioles with pinnately branched hairs 1.5--3 
mm. long; calyx-lobes linear; flowers about 1.5 mm. long, 
very many in a cyme; anthers about 0.7 mm. long.C. kochiana 

Chang (1951) regards C. longifolia var. subglabrata Schau. as, 
in part, a synonym of C. japonica, but I feel that this trinomial 
belongs only in the synonymy of typical C. longifolia Lam. He 
cites A. N. Steward 57 and nos. 1631, 2617, 3303, & 1005) of col- 
lectors and/or herbaria whose names he gives only in Chinese 
characters.

In his 1949 work, Hatusima regards the name, C. japonica var. 
kotoensis (Hayata) Masam., as the correct designation for the 
taxon here being discussed, but Rehder's varietal epithet was 
validly published 2) years earlier! 

Masamune (1955), Ohwi (1965), and Chang (1951) regard C. aus- 
tralis Koidz. as a synonym of C. japonica var. luxurians and in 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa ks 


this opinion they may well be correct. Masamune regards the "'C. 
japonica Thunb." of Maximowicz (1886), Matsumura (1899 & 1912, 
insofar as Ryukyu specimens are concerned), Kuroiwa [1900 "p.p. 
(sic mollis)"], Kawagoe (1915), Simada (1917), Wilson (1920), 
Sakaguchi (192), and Makino & Nemoto (1936, insofar as Ryukyu 
specimens are concerned) as actually referring to this same var- 
iety. Kanehira (1936) and Chang (1951) regard C. kotoensis Hay- 
ata as a valid species, with C. antaoensis Hayata as a synonym. 
I regard C. antaoensis as a synonym of C. longifolia Lam. 

Matsumura (1955) cites the Maximowicz Zz work (1886) as "1887" 
and Hara's 198 work as "199". 

Recent collectors describe C. japonica var. luxurians as a 
shrub to 15 feet tall, growing among other shrubs on open slopes, 
in hedges along roadsides (on Okinawa), and common in secondary 
thickets (on Yonakuni Island), at 100--150 m. altitude, flowering 
in September, and fruiting in August (in addition to the months 
previously reported). The corollas on E. H. Walker 8452 are de- 
scribed as having been "pale lavender" and the anthers yellow. 
Additional vernacular names and variant orthographies recorded 
for the plant are "omurasakisikibu", "tosamurasaki", "tosa- 
murasaki", "yakushima-ko-murasaki", "yakusima-komurasaki", and 
"yakusima-ko-murasaki". 

Ohwi (1965) says "July—Sept. Warmer districts; Shikoku, 
Kyushu" for what he regards as C. shikokiana Mak. and "July— 
Aug. Lowlands near the sea; Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu; rather 
common" for what he regards as the true C. japonica van luxurians. 
For the latter Masamune (1955) gives the - overall distribution as 
"Yakusima, Shikoku, Kyushu, Itukusima, Syodosima", but other 
authors record it also from Tanegasima, Kutinoerabu, Takesima, 
Nakanosima, Suwanose, Takarazima, Amani-osima, Okati, Iheyazima, 
Okinawa, hiinami-daitozima, Miyako, Isigaki, Iriomote, Sirahama, 
and Komi. 

The P. C. Hutchinson s.n. (Herb. Univ. Calif. Acc. 38.533-Si], 
cited below, was cultivated in California from seeds collected 
in Poland, while the U. S. Dept. Pl. Invent. 235498 was cultiva- 
ted in eed from the seeds of J. L. Creech 508 collected in 
Japan. 

The Hatusima 201) and Nakamine 275, distributed as C. japoni- 
ca var. luxurians, are actually merely vigorous specimens of typ- 
ical C. japonica Thunb.

Ohwi (1951) keys out the Japanese species of this genus known 
to him and his key (modified to bring the nomenclature up-to-date) 
is reproduced on page 2 of the present installment of notes. 

Chang (1951), for some reason unknown to me, places C. america- 
na Lour. in the synonymy of C. kochiana, but it seems to me that 
previous authors are correct in placing Loureiro's name in the 


25392, 25807, 31600, 32434, 40488, 41202, 50049, 60088, 60383, & 
86212 of collectors and/or herbaria whose names, unfortunately, he 
gives only in Chinese characters. He describes his var. laxiflora 
as follows: "A typo recedit foliis angustioribus oblong-lanceola- 
tis 11—-15 cm longis, 3.5--4..5 cm latis, nervis paucioribus, utrin- 
secus 6--8, cymis laxis paulo diffusis, pedunculis brevioribus 5 
mm longis, pedicellis longioribus 2 mm longis". The variety ap- 
pears to be based on H. Fung 2010) from Hainan Island, collected 
in 1932, and deposited in the herbarium of the Botanical Insti- 
tute of Sunyatsen University, Canton, China.

Because of the extreme rarity of this journal in libraries, 
Chang's original (1951) description of this taxon is repeated 
herewith: "Frutex 3 m altus. Ramuli teretes hornotini dense ful- 

vo-tomentosi; annotini glabrescentes cinereo-nigrescentes lenti- 
cellati. Folia oblonga vel elliptica 15--20 cm longa, 5.5--8 cm 
lata, apice acuminata, basi rotundata vel obtusa simul paulo ob- 
liqua, margine supra medium remorissime denticulata, supra costis 
nervisque exceptis glabra in sicco nigrescentia, subtus tomentoso- 
incana; costa supra plana subtus elevata, nervis lateralibus u- 
trinsecus 13--16 supra conspicuis subtus elevatis; petioli crassi 
1.5--2.5 cm longi tomentosi. Cymae diffusae sexies dichotomae 6— 
9 cm latae tomentosae, pedunculis 3--5 cm longis; bracteae folia- 
ceae lanceolatae 3--l; cm longae, 8—12 mm latae, pilis atque iis 
foliorum similiter obtectae, nervis utrinsecus 8-10, stipitibus 
8--10 mm longis suffultae; bracteolae subulatae; calycis stellato- 
pubescentis vel puberulis, tubus 1.5 mm longus, lobi l-dentati, 
dentibus subulatis 1 mm longis; corollae stellato-pubescentes, 
tubus 1.5 mm longus, lobi 0.5 mm longi; stamina exserta, fila- 
mentis --S mm longis, antheris 0.5 mm longis longitudinaliter 
dehiscentibus; ovarium glabrum, stylo 6—-7 mm longo, stigmatibus 
dilatatis. Fructus 1.5 mm diametro." 

The type and apparently only known collection of this species 
is W. Y. Chun 5121, collected in Hongkong in 1926 and deposited 
in the herbarium of the Botanical Institute of Sunyatsen Univer—- 
sity, Canton, China. The author compares it (in Chinese) with C. 
kochiana Mak, C. lobo-apiculata Metc., and C. macrophylla Vahl.

the outer surface, scarcely pubescent, its limb l-parted, the 
lobes erect or incurved, oblong-lingulate, rounded at the apex, 
usually somewhat granulose on the outer surface; stamens , in- 
serted at the very base of the corolla-tube, exserted, pink or

This extremely variable and much misunderstood species occurs, 
in its typical form from eastern Pakistan and India through trop- 
ical southeast Asia, north to southern China and Hainan Island, 
and east to Indochina, Malaya, the Philippines, the Moluccas, New 
Guinea, New Ireland, and Queensland. It is widely cultivated and 
has been introduced in Peru and Madagascar. The type was collec-— 
ted by Pierre Sonnerat in the vicinity of Malacca before 1783 and 
is deposited in the Lamarck Herbarium at the Muséum National d!' 
Histoire Naturelle at Paris. Because of the abundant confusion 
and misinterpretation of this taxon, Lamarck's original descrip— 
tion is worth repeating here: "Callicarpe a feuilles longues. 
Callicarpa longifolia. Callicarpa foliis longis lanceolatis sub- 
dentatis, utrinque viridibus, corymbis parvis axillaribus. N. 
Crest une espéce bien remarquable par la forme de ses feuilles, &

esse. Elles ont sept a huit pouces de longueur, sue une largeur 
d'un pouce & demi. Les fleurs sont petites, disposées comme dans 
les précédentes; elles ont un calice court, presque tronqué ou 4 
quatre dents peu sensibles; une corolle infundibuliforme & quadri- 
fide; quatre étamines une fois plus longues que le corolle; & un 
ovaire supérieur, dont le style aussi long que les étamines, est 
terminé par un stigmate en tte tronquée. Cette plante croft 
dans les environs de Malac, & mous a été communiquée par M. Son- 
nerat." In his 1791 work he says of it "C. foliis longis lanceo- 
latis subdentatis utrinque viridibus, cymis axillaribus laxiuscu- 
lis. Circa urbem Malacam. h Fol. 8-pollicaria. Pl. distinctiss. 
a Callic. japonica Thunbergii." 

The species has been found growing in forests, high forests, 
and rainforests, dense or evergreen forests, fairly wet open tall 
secondary or virgin forests, clearings, secondgrowth, rainforest 
regrowth, secondary scrub, small openings in rainforests, and open 
slightly shaded spots in primary forests, on level land or river 
gravel, hills and grassy hillsides, and slopes, along lanes and 
streams, and at abandoned campsites and scrub-edge, from sealevel 
to 2000 meters altitude, flowering and fruiting in every month of 
the year. 

Lei describes it as "abundant scattered shrubs in sandy soil on 
dry level land along roadsides" on Hainan Island. Ridley (1909) 
avers that it is "Common in the low country" of Malaya. Hoogland 
reports it as "fairly common in low regrowth" in Papua, while Brass 
says that it is "plentiful in rainforest regrowths" and "common in 
rainforests" in the same land. Kanehira & Hatusima found it to be 
"fairly common at the edge of rainforests" in neighboring New Gui- 
nea and give its general distribution as "India through Malaya to 
New Guinea, northward to Formosa", In Thailand it is said by 
Smitinand to be "common along paths in evergreen jungle", Thaworn 
says "common in lowland evergreen forests", and Boonchuai, Bunnak, 
and Suvarnakoses all refer to it as "scattered in evergreen 
jungles". Lau tells us that on Hainan it is "fairly common in 
moist level land and clay soil of meadows". Panigrahi & Joseph 
(1966) says that the species is scarce in Nefa and cites his no. 
1497). Matthew (1966) records it from West Bengal. Deb. Gupta, & 
Malick (1968) tell us that in Bhutan it is found on the "outskirts 
of forests". 

Watt (1889) says of it "A shrub of the Malaya Peninsula, Penang, 
and Nicobar Islands"; Ridley (1923) says "Tropical Asia", Bakhuizen 
van den Brink (192) "southeast Asia and tropical Australia", and 
Domin "from Malacca through Malaya to northeast Queensland". Hooker 
& Mueller (1870) regarded it as native and "widely spread over the 
Indian Archipelago, extending into India to Khasia and East Bengal". 
Ptei (1947) records it from Szechuan, China, while Prain (1903) re- 
cords: it from "C[entral] Bengal; Tippera; Chittagong". Several 
authors record it from "Prince of Wales Island", but it is not cer- 
tain if they are referring to the island of this name in Penang or 
the one in Torres Strait near Australia. 


Some Types and Range Extensions in Hybanthus (Violaceae) 


C. V. Morton 


In 1944, I published a paper "The Genus Hybanthus in Continental 
North America" (Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 29: 74-82. 1944). Since that 
time two significant papers have been published on Hybanthus, one by 
L. B. Smith and A. Fernandez-Perez, on the Colombian species (Caldasia 
6: 124-136. 1954) and one, by Standley and Williams, on the Guatemalan 
species (Fieldiana, Bot. 24 (7, no. 1): 72-76. 1961). At the time of 
my publication I had not seen some of the essential types. Since then 
I have studied the specimens in various European herbaria, especially 
those in London and Paris. These studies did not reveal any mis- 
interpretations in the paper, but two of the dubious species can now 
be placed, leaving only two still dubious--Ionidium lasiocarpum Presl 
and I. lobelioides Schlecht. My notes on types and some range ex- 
tensions are here brought together, with comments also on three new 
species recently described from Central America by others. 


HYBANTHUS ATTENUATUS (Humb. & Bonpl.) G. K. Schulze, Notizbl. Bot 
Gart. Berlin 12; 114. 1934. 

Ionidium attenuatum Humb. &Bonpl. ex Roem. & Schult. in L. Syst. Veg. 
ed. nov. 5: 402. 1819. TYPE: Cited merely as "in America 
meridionali'; the subsequent publication of the nomenclaturally 
synonymous name Ionidium riparium H. B. K. gave the type 
locality as Angostura de Carare, on the banks of the Rio 
Magdalena, Colombia, Humboldt and Bonpland. The holotype is 
presumably in the Willdenow Herbarium, Berlin. 

Ionidium riparium H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5: 378. 1823. This is 
a superfluous change of name of I. attenuatum, which is cited 
as a synonym. The description is much amplified from the brief 
one given by Roemer and Schultes, and a definite locality is 
cited. The specimen that served for the description is in the 
Humboldt Herbarium, Paris (no. 1643, from Angostura, Rio 
Magdalena, Colombia); there is a duplicate from the Bonpland 
Herbarium in the general herbarium in Paris. In my 1944 paper 
I did not cite any type from H. attenuatus. The Paris specimens 
show that the species was correctly interpreted. 

Ionidium calceolarium Ging. in DC. Prodr. 1: 311. 1824. TYPE: 
Mexico, Sessé & Mocifio. Gingins saw only a drawing. I have 
now seen a Sessé and Mocifio specimen at Kew named Viola 
calceolaria which agrees with Gingins'description and with 
Sessé and Mocifio's own later published description of their 
Viola calceolaria. This Kew specimen is here designated 
lectotype. It is a synonym of Hybanthus attenuatus, and has 
nothing at all to do with Viola calceolaria L.

Viola calceolaria Sessé & Mocifo, Plant. Nov. Hisp. ed. 2, 141. 
1893, non L., 1763. Described from a garden in Mazatlan, 
Mexico. To be lectotypified as above by a specimen so named 
at Kew. The name was presumably published in the first 
edition which I have not seen. 

Ionidium botterii Turcz. Bull. Soc. Nat. Moscou 36(1): 556. 

1863. TYPE: Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico, Botteri s.n. This 
species has never been placed. I have not seen the type, but 
a collection of Botteri 319 in the British Museum is from 
Orizaba and agrees fairly well with the original description, 
except that the upper flowers are not subsessile. It is 
likely that this does represent I. botterii, which is then 
identical with H. attenuatus, which is well known from 
Orizaba and adjoining regions. 

Calceolaria mocinoana Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 1: 41. 1891. A new 
name for Ionidium calceolarium Ging. 


HYBANTHUS BREVIS (Dowell) Standl. in Standl. & Calderon, List. Prel. 
Pl. Salvador 152. 1925. 
Calceolaria brevis Dowell, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 33: 552. 1906. 
TYPE: Volc4n Jumaytepeque, Santa Rosa, Guatemala, Heyde & Lux 
3943! (us). 

This species, which I reduced to H. elatus in my revision, 
appears sufficiently distinct in foliage characters. The leaves 
are small, not more than 8 cm. long, and merely acute whereas 
those of H. elatus are generally 13--15 cm. long, and long-attenuate 
at tip; the midribs and veins beneath are minutely but obviously 
puberulous in H. brevis and glabrous in H. elatus. The range is 
Chiapas (Sumidero of Yochib, Koltol Te', Breedlove 6231; Moel Ch'en, 
above Tenejapa, Breedlove 10902) and Guatemala (Coban, Alta Verapaz, 
Tuerckheim II 1354; Volca4n Jumaytepeque, Santa Rosa, Heyde & Lux 
4435; Rio Frio, between Tactic and Santa Cruz, Alta Verapaz, Molina & 
Molina 12248; Cerro Pixpix, Huehuetenango, Steyermark 50590). As 
may be noted, the departments of Guatemala in which H. brevis occurs 
are all different from those where H. elatus has been found, which 
may indicate some ecological preferences. 


HYBANTHUS CALCEOLARIA (L.) G. K. Schulze, Notizbl. Bot. Gart. 
Berlin 12; 114. 1934. 

In 1944 I knew this distinctive species in North America from 
only a single collection from British Honduras, and suspected that 
it might be an introduction. This is evidently not true, for the 
species is now known from several collections from British Honduras 
and also from Veracruz and Oaxaca, Mexico, viz.: Mexico: East of 
Alvarado, Veracruz, Miranda 8513; northeast of Minatitlan, Veracruz, 
King 1051; northwest of Zanatepec, Oaxaca, King 483; east of

HYBANTHUS CHIAPENSIS Lundell, Wrightia 4: 36. 1968. 

TYPE: Carelas, Chiapas, Mexico, Matuda 5514. 

I have seen no material. This is the fifth shrubby species known 
from Mexico. It can be distinguished from the others by its 
solitary flowers, small, congested leaves, and large capsules ca. 

1 cm. long. 


HYBANTHUS ELATUS (Turcz.) Morton, Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 29: 80. 
1944, 

In my revision I placed Hybanthus brevis (Dowell) Standl. as a 
synonym, but a reexamination of the type and other material indi- 
cates that it can stand as distinct. The true H. elatus is repre- 
sented by specimens from Veracruz (Botteri 895, L. C. Smith 1840), 
Mexico (Tequezquinahuac, Cerro de Azompan, Matuda 31181, US), 
Ghiesbreght 47 (perhaps from Chiapas ?), and Guatemala (Finca 
Vergei, San Marcos, Standley 68921; Aldea Fraternidad, San Marcos, 
Williams et al. 26024; VolcA4n Fuego, Chimaltenango, Steyermark 
52056; Volc4n Santa Clara, Suchitepéquez, Steyermark 46627; between 
Finca Pirineos and Patzulin, Quezaltenango, Standley 87076; between 
Santa Maria de Jesus and Palin, Escuintla, Standley 61293. The 
specimen that I cited from Oaxaca (Conzatti & Cancino 2432) proves 
on further study to represent H. verbenaceus (H. B. K.) Loesen. 

I still have not seen the type of H. elatus,which is presumably 


—_——_——_ 
in Leningrad, and so it is placed from the description only. 


HYBANTHUS GALEOTTII (Turcz.) Morton ex Williams, Fieldiana Bot. 
29 35500) L9G: 

Ionidium galeottii Turcz. Bull. Soc. Nat. Moscou 27(2): 339. 
1854. TYPE: Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, Galeotti 7085. 
Hybanthus occultus (Polak.) Standl. Field Mus. Publ. Bot. 18: 

ise 19387e 

In 1944, I adopted the name H. occultus and regarded Ionidium 
galeottii as a dubious species. However, I have now seen a photo- 
graph (Field Museum no. 24006) of an isotype of I. galeottii from 
the herbarium in Geneva, and this shows that the species is 
identical with Purpus 13012, from Zacuapan, Veracruz, Mexico, the 
type of Hybanthus purpusii Standl., which I consider the same as 
the Costa Rican H. occultus (Polak.) Standl. Since Ionidium 
galeottii (1854) has priority over I. occultum Polak. (1877), 
the new combination H. galeottii was necessary. 

Although I treated this plant among the herbaceous species of 
the genus, it is actually usually a shrub. According to the data 
on Skutch 2413, it is: "A shrub 2 m. high, with slender, wiry stems; 
flowers white, with a yellow spot at base of the large petal." 
According to Austin-Smith H796: "Open diffuse shrub with stems 


1971 Morton, Hybanthus 59 


over 1m. long; bark pale brown; leaves thin, faintly scabrous; 
lower lip petal large, pure white." Steyermark 49639 says 
"Shrub 3 feet tall; petals lilac-white; leaves membranous, 

rich green above, pale green beneath.'"' These quotations show 
that there may be some variability in the flower color.

HYBANTHUS OPPOSITIFOLIUS (L.) Taubert, in Engl. & Prantl, Nat.

Ionidium longifolium Sessé & Mocifio ex Ging. in DC. Prodr. 1: 31l. 
1824. TYPE: Mexico, Sessé & Mocifio. Gingins saw no specimens. 
There is a Sessé and Mocifio specimen in the British Museum 
determined as Viola longifolia from "N, E.," i.e. Nueva 
Espana (=Mexico). This agrees with Gingins' description 


60 PH YT, 0.440 GBA Vol. 21, no. 1 


and is surely authentic. It is here designated lectotype. 
My 1944 disposition of the species as a synonym of H. 
oppositifolius was correct. Mounted on the same sheet 
is another Sessé and Mocifio specimen from Mexico with the 
name "Viola linearifolia,'' unpublished name; this is also 
a poor specimen of H. oppositifolius.

The species I. parietariifolium was originally divided into two 
varieties @ houstonii and 8 berterii. It is evident that var. @ 
is to be considered as the typical variety. It was based ona 
collection from Veracruz in the Banks Herbarium (British Museum) 
and on a specimen in the Lambert Herbarium from Peru collected by 
Ruiz and Pavon. I designate the specimen in the British Museum as 
lectotype; it bears the notation "Viola americana annua erecta 
parietariaefolio flore oblongo" and was evidently from the Miller 
Herbarium and collected by Houston. It represents typical Hybanthus 
attenuatus (Humb. & Bonpl.) G. K. Schulze. The var. berterii was 
described from "in Sanctae Marthae", evidently the Santa Marta 
Mountains, Colombia, collected by Bertero. I have seen an isotype 
in Paris labelled "Ins. S. Marthe, de M. Balbis cuilli par M. 
Bertero, no. 35."" The "Ins.,"' i.e. "insula" is evidently an error 
for "in,'' since Santa Marta is not an island. This specimen 
probably represents H. attenuatus also, but it is dwarf and atypical. 
Although a perennial, H. oppositifolius sometimes flowers the first 
year from seed and therefore appears annual. Annual plants can be 
distinguished from the strictly annual H. attenuatus by the 
essentially glabrous stems, those of H. attenuatus being strongly 
pilose in broad lines. This may now be reported also from British 
Honduras (Mountain Pine Ridge, El Cayo District, Lundell 6661; 
Augustine, El Cayo District, Hunt 117) and Honduras (El Zamorano, 
Morazan, Standley 19009). 


HYBANTHUS PROCTORI Lundell, Wrightia 4: 37. 1968. 
TYPE: Between Pulay and San Juan Cotzal, El Quiché, Guatemala, 
Proctor 25009. 

I have not seen the type, but there is a paratype in the National 
Herbarium: Nebaj, El Quiché, Contreras 5032. This is an herbaceous 
species that will run to H. verbenaceus in my key, to which it is 
not perhaps closely allied. It has much larger, differently shaped 
leaves, and elongate pedicels.

Viola prunifolia Humb. & Bonpl. ex Roem. & Schult. in L. Syst. 
Veg. ed. nov. 5: 391. 1819. TYPE: Presumably in the Willdenow 
Herbarium, Berlin, collected by Humboldt and Bonpland. No 
locality other than "America meridionalis" was cited, but 


1971 Morton, Hybanthus 61 


the specific locality was given by H. B. K. under nomen- 
claturally the synonymous Ionidium anomalum as "in sylvis 
(Bosque del Zapote) juxta Turbaco, 190 hex. Regno Novo- 
Granatensi," [i.e., near Turbaco, Department of Bolivar, 
Colombia]. 

Ionidium anomalum H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5: 381, t. 500. 1823. 
A superfluous change of epithet for Viola prunifolia Humb. & 
Bonpl., cited as a synonym. The description is much amplified 
from that given by Roemer and Schultes. I have seen the 
isotype in the Humboldt Herbarium, Paris, and another in the 
general Herbarium, Paris, no. 1454 from the Bonpland Herbarium, 
noted as from Turbaco. 


HYBANTHUS SERRULATUS Standl. Journ. Washington Acad. Sci. 17: 312. 
1927. 

In 1944 this species was known only from the type from Michoac4n 
or Guerrero, Langlassé 558. Mr. George Hinton turned up three 
additional collections in his extensive explorations of western 
Mexico: Ocatitlan, State of Mexico, Hinton 8587; Puerto Zarzamora, 
Michoacd4n, Hinton 12716, and Vallecitos, Guerrero, Hinton 11654. 


HYBANTHUS SYLVICOLA Standl. & Steyerm. Field Mus. Publ. Bot. 23: 
176. 1944, 
TYPE: Finca Los Alpes, Pila-pec, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, 
Wilson 329. 

I have not seen the type. A specimen identified by Lundell as 
probably this is Seamay, Petén, Guatemala, Contreras 6656, and from 
the description it does appear to be the same. This is the sixth 
shrubby species known from Central America. It does not appear to 
be closely allied to the others, differing in its large, glabrous, 
lanceolate, entire leaves, and its small, fasciculate flowers on 
slender pedicels. 


HYBANTHUS THIEMEI (Donn. Smith) Morton, Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 29: 
81. 1944. 

This species has been previously known in Mexico only from Campeche. 
It may now be reported also from Yucatan, Gaumer in 1895, no. 855 
(BM), without specific locality (originally distributed as Ionidium 
brevicaule Mart.). It may also be reported from Costa Rica for the 
first time: Vicinity of El General, Prov. San José, Skutch 3960, 

3975 (both US). 


HYBANTHUS VERBENACEUS (H. B. K.) Loesen. Bull. Herb. Boiss. II, 3: 
wi5i 1903. 

Ionidium verbenaceum H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5: 379, t. 497. 1823. 
In my 1944 paper I did not cite a type for this species. It was 
described from "in Horto Mexicano," i.e. in a Mexican garden. Since 
this species is by no means ornamental and has no known uses, it may 

be assumed that the original plant was naturally occurring in the 
garden rather than cultivated. I have now seen the holotype in the 


62 PB OY. 30-L/0sG toh Vol. 21, no. 1 


Humboldt Herbarium in Paris (no. 4024, marked "Hort. Mexican." 

It shows that the species was correctly interpreted in my paper. 
The type is a small perennial, with the acute leaves cuneate at 
base, ca. 2 cm. long and 1.5 cm. broad, bluntly toothed, with 
about eight teeth on either side; the calyx lobes are slender 
and pubescent and the labellum not villous; there are no capsules 
present. It is similar to a specimen in Paris collected by 
Brother Nicolas (s.n.), at Guadelupe, Puebla, Mexico, June 15, 
TOLO: 


HYBANTHUS VERTICILLATUS (Ortega) Baill. Hist. Pl. 4: 345. 1873 
Ionidium lineare Torr. Ann. Lyc. New York 2: 168. 1828. TYPE: 
Red River, Ark., James. 

Hybanthus linearis (Torr.) Shinners, Field & Lab. 19: 126. 1951. 
Shinners has adopted the name H. linearis for the common Texas 
form of this species, which has most of the leaves alternate rather 
than opposite or verticillate. However, the position of the leaves 
appears to be variable and perhaps not significant. Plants with 
alternate leaves are also commonly found in Mexico, and one such 
is Ionidium gracile Sessé & Mocifio ex Ging. in DC. Prodr. 1: 309. 
1824. If plants with alternate leaves are to be segregated then 

the epithet gracile has priority over linearis. 


BOOK REVIEWS 


Alma L. Moldenke 


"THE BOLETI OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH AMERICA" by Walter H. Snell & 
Esther A. Dick, xii & 115 pp., 87 plates. J. Cramer, Lehre, 
Germany, or Stechert-IIafner Agency, Darien, Connecticut 
06826. 1970. DM 200, £29, 18s, or $55.00. 


Such a beautiful, valuable work that it will be desired by 
many! Such an expensive book that it may have to be bypassed by 
many lovers of fungi generally and mushrooms specifically, of col- 
lections of artistic plates, and of exotically attractive books! 
For those who can garner the marks, pounds, or dollars there is 
a wonderful treat in store. Basically following Singer's classi- 
fication, 138 species and subspecies in 15 genera of the Strobilo- 
mycetaceae and the Boletaceae are effectively keyed, described 
and given both geographic and ecologic distribution. Their edi- 
bility is considered. There are 16 plates with outline drawings 
of spores, cystidia (mostly cheilocystidia) and basidia. There is 
a good bibliography and index. Then there are those 72 truly mag- 
nificent, natural size, natural color plates with over 00 paint- 
ings by the senior author on them. 

This work represents the only modern publication in this area 
and a professional lifetime of skilled effort. It is regretted 
that the still commonly used scientific synonyms and common names 
are not included since this book will surely appeal to many more 
than the professional and student mycologists. It is a must for 
colleges, universities, botanical and related institutions and 
all better libraries both public and private.

level for majors and non-majors who have had a preliminary semes- 
ter of training in the physical sciences. Actually the material 
is carefully enough explained not to be dependent upon that course. 

As part of the trend of this day the content is primarily bio- 
chemistry and human neural physiology. Of course, much of value 
can be learned from this orientation, but there is almost nothing 
of a holistic approach to the world of living plants and animals 
until the next to the last chapter which is devoted to ecology. 
There is no mention of any part of biosystematics. The book is 
modestly illustrated. Page 1 shows three good black/white 
photographs of the stele of root, stem and leaf but with no iden- 
tification of the plant(s) involved; many texts tend to be careless 
in this way. Questions at the ends of the chapters are often in- 
telligent. The realistically short bibliographies there are also 
good, but references to several common important works were 
missed, such as to Ehrlich's work in the ecology chapter. 

The "Teacler's Guide!! should be particularly helpful to begin- 
ning instructors. 

The "Laboratory Supplement" is well organized and suggests 
some interesting activities. It supplements the text well.

Compiled under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture and

language - Italian - than the 6-language "Horticultural Diction- 
ary" of 1961 - and now out of print - from the Dutch State Publish- 
ing Company. There are }2),;0 numbered entries with English as the 
lead language followed by separate listings of each of the other 
languages. Continued use of the same numbers throughout all nine 
lists provides for handy cross-referencing. There is a 0 percent 
increase of terms in this dictionary edition. 

Of the terms selected for listing the editor and collaborators 
claim "all those in any way concerned with [general] ha ticulture 
on an international basis will find this publication an indis= 
pensable tool." True, indeed!

MISCELLANEOUS ADDITIONS AND REVISIONS TO THE FLOWERING PLANTS 
OF JAMATCA IT 
C. D. Adams 


ANTHURIUM (ARACEAE) 


ANTHURIUM MANCUNIENSE C. D. Adams, sp. nov.

Type Collection: Wm. Harris 8833 (holotype UCWI), growing in 
crevices of precipitous honey-combed rocks, near Troy, Trelawny 
Parish, Jamaica, elev. ca. 2000 feet, 6 December 1904. 


Paratypes: G. R. Proctor 9952 (IJ unicate), on partly shaded 
limestone ledge, Tyre District, 2 miles north of Troy, Trelawmy 
Parish, Jamaica, elev. ca. 1750 feet, 1; March 1955; C. D. Adams 
6095 (UCWI unicate), on limestone cliff in forest, Oxford Caves to 
Balaclava junction, Manchester Parish, Jamaica, elev. 700 feet, 7 


Jamary 1960; G. R. Proctor 22975 (IJ), shaded limestone cliff, 
vicinity of Auchtemb e, Manchester Parish, Jamaica, elev. ca, 
1750 feet, 1 December 1962; C. D. Adams 12443 (UCWI), on steep 
cliff, Cockpit, ca. 5 miles north-west of Troy, Trelawny Parish, 
Jamaica, elev. 1750 feet, 4 April 1963. 


Specimens of this species were earlier determined as A. 
grandifolium (Jacq.) Kunth and later as A. venosm Griseb.; it 


65 


66 PHYTOL OG LA Vol. 21, no. 2 


differs from both these in the rigid erect boat-shaped spathe 
which is about as long as the spadix. It is restricted in its 
present known distribution to a small area near where the bound- 
aries of the parishes Trelawny, Manchester and St. Elizabeth meet. 


DENDROPANAX (ARALIACEAE) 
DENDROPANAX OVALIFOLIUS (Fawcett & Rendle) C. D, Adams, comb. nov. 


Gilibertia ovalifolia Fawcett & Rendle in Journ. Bot. 64: 
158. 1926. TYPE: Harris 9188, Lapland, near Catadupa, 
St. James, Jamaica. 


This new combination is the result of re-appraisal of the 
value of the character of the articulation of the peduncle. When 
given greater weight this feature relates D. elongatus Britton and 
D. ovalifolius closely to D. pendulus (Swe) Decne. & Planch. The 
mumber of flowers in an umbel is regarded as a feature greatly 
affected by the age of the plant so that D. elongatus goes into 
the synonymy of D. pendulus while D. ovalifolius can be separated 
on the basis of leaf-shape. 


DENDROPANAX NUTANS (Sw.) Decne. & Planch. var. OBTUSIFOLIA C. D. 
Adems, var. NOve 


Folia apice plerumque obtusa vel rotundata vel raro subacuta. 


Type Collection: C. D. Adams 10693 (holotype UCWI; isotype 
EM), Blue Mountain Peak, St. Thomas Parish, Jamaica, elev. 
feet, 18 February 1962; "Tree 20 feet with crooked thick twigs." 


Although the type specimen of this variety was made from a 
gnarled tree with clustered rather small leaves and short inflor- 
escences, the fact that the obtuse-leafed variant occurs also in 
company with var. mutans in several parts of the range suggests 
that it is not merely an ecad of exposed situations. There is 
some purpose in establishing a name for this variety, but in view 
of the lack of knowledge of causes of variation in the genus and 
the close affinities of most of the Jamaican species, it might be 
misleading to cite paratype and other specimens. 


FIMBRISTYLIS (CYPERACEAE) 
FIMBRISTYLIS HARRISII (Britton) C. D. Adams, comb. nov. 


Stenophyllus harrisii Britton, Torreya 20: 83. 1920. 
TYPE: Harris 12890, Old Ingland Falls, Blue Mountains, 
Portland, Jamaica. 


This rare and local plant is characterized by its dense 
tufted growth consisting mainly of numerous slender scapes subt- 
ended by reduced leaves. Inflorescences are small of few spike- 
lets and nearly alweys viviparovs. Besides the type locality, it 
is knorn from exposed hillsides on serpentine in the area of Arn- 
tully, St. Thomas parish (Adems 1222), EM, Mo, UCWI) in associat- 
ion with a number of other very rare plants in Jamaica including 


1971 Adams, Flowering plants of Jamaica 67 


Rhynchospora lindeniana Griseb., Phoradendron anceps (Spreng. ) Krug 
& Urb. and Polystichum tridens (Moore) Fee. There are many species 
in common with Cuba and Hispaniola in this local flora and Fimbri- 
stylis harrisii may not be different from Bulbostylis subefimbriata 
Kikenth. Williem Harris collected further specimens of this species 
from the type locality on 3 March 1919; some of the duplicates of 
this gathering which were distributed to other herbaria were 
numbered 12098; the specimen in herb, UCTI is numbered 12908 and 
this is likely to be correct assuming chronological mumbering as 

the type (12890) was collected on 4 September 1918. 


LOBELIA (CAMPANULACEAE) 
LOBELIA CALEDONIANA C. D. Adams, sp. nov. 


L. assurgentis L. affinis sed foliorum marginibus proximalibus 
integris distalibus crenatis, capsulis non mutantibus; aL. fawe- 
ettii Urb. corolla pubescenti differt. 


Frutex caule flexili usque ad 1.5m altus; latex copiosus 
albus erubescens. Folia oblanceolata basi anguste cuneata integra- 
que apice acuminata crenataque membranacea tenuiter pubescentia 
usque ad 28 cm longa et 7.5 cm lata, distincte petiolata. Inflores- 
centia subterminalis subscaposa unilateralis pubescens scapo 5-7 cm 
longo pedicellis mumerosis ca. 18 mm longis rectis, bracteis linear- 
ibus ca 1 cm longis, bracteolis linearibus ca. 5-7 mm longis. 
Ovarium turbinatum 6-7 mm longum. Sepala linearia minute remoteque 
dentata ca. 13 mm longa. Corolla initio curvata longe secedens 
4—i.5 cm longa pallide viridis. Staminum filamenta et tubus ca, 28 
mm longa albido-viridia, antherae inaequales curvatae barbatae 8-11 
mm longae. Stylus staminibus longior. Capsula cyathiformis dia- 
phragmate apicali dehiscenti ca. 7-9 mm lata. Semina pallida pyri- 
formia 0.7-0.8 mm longa. 


aye Collection: C,. D. Adams 12547 (holotype UCWI; isotypes 
EM, GH), on limestone rocks in montane woodland, Mount Caledonia, 


Na Parish, Jamaica, elev. 4600 feet, 19 May 1963 (plant in 
flower). 


Paratypes: C. D. Adams 11629 (UCWI unicate), type locality as 
above, 5 September 1962 (plant in fruit); W. R. Anderson & D. C. 
Sternbe (DUKE, UCWI), type locality as above, 26 July 1966 

plant in fruit). 


This new species falls close to L. assurgens L. from which it 
differs in having the proximal margins of the leaves entire rather 
than furnished with filiform appendages; the stem is not winged by 
decurrent leaf-bases; the pedicels are not recurved in fruit. It 
also resembles L. fawcettii Urb. but the corolle is pubescent.

5-6 mm longus latusque in sicco bilobatus. 


Type Collection: J. Wiles (holotype EM). 


Paratypes: Wm. Harris 5203 (BM, UCWI), Claverty Cottage 
Portland Parish, Jamaica, Teter 1894; Wm. Harris 5180 (UCWI), 
Whitfield Hall, St. Thomas Parish, Jamaica, 2 June 1894; Wm. Harris 
6312 (EM, UCWI}, Whitfield Hall, St. Thomas Parish, Jamaica, elev. 
2000 feet, 20 May 1896; W. R. Maxon 8678 (BM), on rocky forest 
slope, Flemstead, St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, elev. 1000-1100 m, 31 
May 1926; G. L, Webster & K. A, Wilson 5139 (EM, IJ), John Crow Mts. 
Portlend Parish, Jamaica, elev. 1000-1500 feet, 6 August 1954; 

C. D. Adams 7475 (EM, DUKE, UCWI), in woodland, Greenwich Bridle 
road, St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, elev. 3700 feet, 6 July 1960; also 


C. D. Adams 7486 (M, UCWI), 7910 (M, UCWL), 9383 (UCWI), 11926 (EM, 
UcWwI), 1 se CUNT); M. Paste 32h, icery: Je K. New (UCWI); 


G. R. Proctor 8076 (IJ), 23278 (IJ). 


This species is rather common in submontane woodlands on shale 
or limestone in eastern Jamaica. Palicourea pulchra Griseb., also 
endemic, is its vicariant in central and western parishes. The 
affinity of both these species is with the the widespread P. crocea 
(Sw. ) Schult. from which they differ in having larger corollas never 
orange or red. P. crocea is almost always quite markedly hairy in 
Jamaica although towards the southern part of its range it becomes 
glabrous; S. Moore in Fawcett & Rendle, Flora of Jamaica, Vol. 7 
referred the plant now being described as P. wilesii to P. riparia 
Benth. but that is generally regarded as representing the southerly 
variants of P. crocea. 

The collector, James Wiles, accompanied Capt. Bligh on his 
second trip to the Pacific as a gardener. On returning to the West 
Indies Wiles was charged with the duty of establishing the bread- 
fruit plants first in St. Vincent and then in Jamaica which he did 
successfully.

PSYCHOTRIA (RUBIACEAE) 
PSYCHOTRIA DOMATTATA C. D. Adams, sp. nov. 


P. corymbosae Sw. aliquantum simile sed foliis ellipticis basi

Type Collection: C. D. Adams 9375 (holotype UCWI, unicate), 
in wet forest on limestone, Ecclesdown, Portland Parish, Jamaica, 
elev. 1750 feet, 29 March 1961 (plant in flower). 


Paratypes: H. A. Osmaston 5175 (HM, UCWI), in dense mossy 
thicket, uppermost part of Big River, above Spring Valley Estate, 


Portland Parish, Jamaica, elev. 3000 feet, 6 August 1967 (plant in 


flower); also R, A, Howard, G. R. Proctor & Wm. T. Stearn 14757 
and G. R. Proctor 


This new species resembles Psychotria corymbosa Sw. but has 
elliptical leaf-blades broadly cuneate at the base. Although the 
inflorescence sometimes is tinged reddish, it does not have the

RANDIA (RUBIACEAE) 


RANDIA ACULEATA L. var. JAMAICENSIS (Spreng.) C. D. Adams, comb. et

Randia jamaicensis (Spreng. ) Krug & Urb. in Urb., Symb. Ant. 
1s 42 ° 996 


Randia aculeata in Jamaica is extremely variable in leaf=size, 
hairiness and the presence of spines. This taxon accommodates 
those variants which have the young vegetative parts and corollas 
hairy; they do not seem to differ in any other way and thus do not 
warrant more than varietal rank.

Vahl described Rhynchospora micrantha with Schoems rariflorus

the time, R. micrantha Vahl refers to a distinct taxon next descr- 
ibed by Richard as Scleria minutiflora. I am grateful toMr. J. E.

Type Collection: C. D,. Adams 12139 (holotype UCWI; isotypes 


1971 Adams, Flowering plants of Jamaica pak 


EM, DUKE), on serpentine rocks, Amtully, St. Thomas Parish, 
Jamaica, elev. 2900-3000 feet, 24 Jamary 1963 (plent in flower 
and fruit). 


Paratypes: C. D,. Adams 13236 (EM, UCWI), type locality as 
os 16 July 1970 (plant in flower); also G. R. Proctor 23304 
IJ). 


This new species resembles Rondeletia hirta Sw. but is dist- 
inguished by the leaves being smaller, sessile or subsessile and 
cordate at the base. Like many of the Jamaican species of 
Rondeletia, this plant has a strong temlency to develop crimson 
coloration in the vegetative parts, especially on the petioles and 
the undersurfaces of the leaves. The habit of branching is much 
affected by the physical situation; in the open coppice regrowth 
develops erect shoots with large leaves; in the shade the branches 
are straggly and the leaves smaller with often relatively longer 
petioles. 


RYTIDOPHYLIUM (GESNERTACEAE) 


RYTIDOPHYLIUM GRANDE (Sw.) Mart. ex G. Don var. LABVIGATUM C. D. 
Adams, var. nov. 


Folionm superficies laevigata. 


Type Collection: C. D. Adams 6786 (holotype UCWI; isotype 
EM), collected on open rocks, near Burnt Hill, Trelawny Parish, 


Jemaica, elev. 1300 feet, 8 April 1960; "Shrubby to 8 feet; leaves 
mostly distal, lemon-scented; buds sticky; corolla yellow.” 


Paratype: M. duQuesnay 17 (UCWI), collected in thicket, south 
of Ramgoat Cave, Trelawny Parish, Jamaica, elev. 1500 feet, 10 
December 1968; "Slender tree 11 feet; leaves dark; stems reddish; 
flowers lemon yellow." 


This variety is distinguished from var. grande by the smooth 
leaves and the usually somewhat less branched inflorescence, Other 
specimens, e.g. G. R. Proctor 16645, R. A, Howard & G R. Proctor 
U418 and R, A, Howard, G R. Proctor & Wm. T. Stearn 14656 in 
herbaria BM, GH and IJ exist but are not available to the author at 
this time; they originated from the same locality and also extend 
the range into the parish of St. James. 


SCAEVOLA KILAUEAE VAR. POWERSII Deg. & Dege 


Otto & Isa Degener, Volcano, Hawaii 


Degener Nose 21,762 and 21,763, collected at "Keauohana Forest 
Reserve, near Pahoa, Hawaii. Among scrub; spreading 2 ft. high 
bush. Febe 2, 1952.", comprised such a curious taxon “with robust 
leaves," that the collector suspected it to be a new variety of 
Scaevola kilaueae Deg. Yet fearing the specimens might, after all, 
‘simply represent plants of the species SeSe, especially robust be- 
cause growing under conditions of exceptional rainfall and rich 
soil, he left the many sheets lying fallow for nearly twenty years 
in the herbarium of the "Museum botanicum Berolinense" in Danleme 


Interest in the above was revived when Dr. Howard A. Powers, 
geologist stationed on the brink of Kilauea Crater, Island of Ha- 
waii and a keen amateur botanist, drew the attention of the writers 
to a curious naupaka he had discovered. A few twigs were collected 
and labeled as follows: "Degener & Degener Noe 32,441. X Scaevola 
kilaueae X 5. chamissoniana var. bracteosa Hillebre Old look out at 
Pauahi Crater, Hawe Volc. Nat. Park, Hawaii. In scrub at 3,200 
feet within 1 meter of S. k. (D. & D. 32,442) & 1 km. of S. ce bd. 
on Puu Huluhulu. Discovered by Dr. Howard Powers. (Collected by 
Degeners) July 22, 1970." 


Because of the resemblance between Nos. 21,762, 21,763 and 
32,441, we believe the former two plants represent not a simple 
hybrid like probably No. 32,441, but rather a more or less con- 
stant variety of early hybrid origin. We surmise a plant like Noe 
32,441 with its limited gene pool, if isolated for a hundred gener- 
ations or so by surrounding veneers of lava in a kipuka (lava 
oasis), would de novo evolve into a taxon resembling the new var- 
jiety described below: 


SCAEVOLA KILAUEAE var. POWERSII Deg. & Deg. Frutex 7 dm. altus, 
ramis ramulisque | divaricatus. Folia rigida coriacea, 50 - 85 mm. 
longa, 12 - 20 mm. lata, margine 6 6 - 10 serrato-dentata. Corolla 
flava. This variety, represented by the type De Deg. & Deg & Dege Noe 

211: 21,763 mentioned above and returned to Berlin for deposit, is in- 
termediate between S. chamissoniana var. bracteosa Hillebr., and Se 
kilaueae Dege, with features of the latter predominating. For in- 
stance, it is a shorter, more spreading shrub than the former taxone 
Its leaf size is almost of the former, yet the texture is leathery, 
with only midrib showing on both surfaces and ribs showing faintly 
on lower surface. The few serrate-dentate teeth end almost columnar 
as does the apex of the leaf itself. S. c. var. bracteosa, on the 
contrary, has subcoriaceous leaves in which ribs and veins are 
prominent on both surfaces, and the teeth are more numerous and 

more extensively distributed. The inflorescence in length approach- 
es that of the former; though the flowers are less in number, about 
25 mme long, narrow-lobed, and dull yellowishe

NOTES ON BROMELIACEAE, XXXII 


Lyman B. Smith 


KEY TO GUZMANIA AND SIMULATORS 


This revision follows the same plan as that of Tillandsia in 
my Notes on Bromeliaceae, XXXI, in Phytologia 20: 121. 1970. It 
completes preliminary revisions of the major genera of the Til- 
landsioideae for my monograph, Vriesea having appeared in XXIII 
in Phytologia 13: 84. 1966, and Catopsis in XXVII in Phytologia 
16: 64. 1968. Mezobromelia and Glomeropitcairnia with 2 species 
each are too small to need preliminary treatment, but there is 4 
strong probability that good corolla material will show the 
necessity of transferring species now in Guzmania to Mezobromelia 

Several species of Tillandsia and Vriesea and both of Mezobro- 
melia have the flowers polystichous or in more than 2 ranks and 
can not be distinguished from Guzmania with certainty without 
good corollas. They are included in this key on the same basis 
as that of the simulators in the revision of Tillandsia. 

Guzmania has groups of species that at first glance appear to 
be distinct but there are too many intermediates to permit any 
satisfactory division into subgenera.

my omitted in Key to Tillandsia, Phytologia 20: 174. 1970. 

Because of its filiform-attenuate tomentose-lepidote leaves 
Tillandsia atroviridipetala belongs in the synonymy of T. plumosa 
and not in that of T. mauryana (cf. Phytologia 7: 173. 1960) 
which has stouter leaf-blades with broad scales.

Reexamination of the type of Tillandsia nana discloses that 
the spikes are distichous-flowered and that the species is in no 
way different from the later T. calocephala. In my key to the 
genus in Phytologia 20: 121. 1970, T. nana should be deleted on 
page 146 and should replace T. calocephala on page 125.

NATURAL HISTORY: OF THE BONIN ISLANDS 


Otto & Isa Degener 


The two volume work quaintly entitled "The Nature of the Bonin 
Islands" and “Compiled by Takasi Tuyama and Shigeo Asami" arrived 
as a Christmas gift from Dr. Tuyama Professor of Botany, Ochano- 
mizu University, Tokyoe Dr. Tuyama, and Dre Charles Lamoureux of 
the University of Hawaii, had visited at our home on the north 
shore of Oahu some months before with a package of Bonin herbari- 
um specimens for comparison with Hawaiian taxa. A chain=-smoker, 
after our study in the wind-free house, we entertained our for- 
eign guest out of doors, enthralled by his description of his plant 
exploration in his chosen archipelago, known to the Japanese as 
Ogasawara-jima. Due to our bombarding the group in August 1943, we 
may remember that the fifteen or so “larger” islands with a total 
area of forty square miles, are of volcanic origin and part of 
Micronesia. They are not low, coral atolls with a monotonous biotae 


We have prepared the present review for our peers as neither we, 
nor you (we surmise) are versed in the Japanese language. The vol- 
umes are in board covers, about 7 1/2 inches wide and 10 1/2 inches 
high, and have an excellent quality of filled paper. The number of 
pages, shown in Arabic, for Volume I comes to 271; but about a 
score more unnumbered pages occur with maps showing often on grids 
elevations, soils, rainfall, etc. The frontispiece is a colored 
plate of a beautiful aerial scene of the rugged coastline, while 
following it is a Pacific blue and leaf green two-page spread of 
the entire archipelago in relief. Nearer the middle of the book 
and beyond are four colored plates, one depicting nine gaudy ma- 
rine organisms, such as bryozoons and sea urchins, and the remain- 
der displaying an assortment of 56 typical marine mollusks. Be- 
side a good sprinkling of black and white half-tones of geologic 
and other diagrams, of photos of plants (some not too clear), of 
prints of birds, this volume contains 32 full-page additional 
plates in black and white. These are a mélange of scenes showing 
the typical vegetation from an understory of Marattia to a shore 
predominantly of Pandanus; from close-ups of the most interesting 
Flowering Plants to "land shells," insects, crustaceans and dia- 
grams of the commoner sea birds in flight; and human interest, 
such as showing Drs. Tuyama and Asami with student assistants, of 
village scenes, of outrigger canoes, of some World War II ship and 
"plane wreckage and, at the very end a monument in good taste fly- 
ing the Japanese and American flags side by side to the tragic 
victims of a conflict stimulated by population pressureée 


For us, specializing in the Hawaiian flora, Volume I is useful 
as the scientific names of the Ferns and Flowering Plants (as are 
those of the animals as well) are given in English, though the des- 
criptions in Japanese are beyond our understanding. We can thus see 
how closely the two floras approach each other. This hardly per- 
tains to species, excepting for some ferns and some ocean dissemi- 
nated halophytes like Colubrina asiatica; but certainly to generae

For the non-specialist, for those unacquainted with the Japanese 
language, and for those for whom the Bonin Islands are little more 
than a name, we do not recommend investing in this booke 


Volume II is decidedly a "horse of another color." It is truly 
outstanding’ There is no text at all; instead, there are 228 mag- 
nificently executed colored plates comprising about 475 separate 
photographs. Among the first are important views of Chichi-jima, 
Futami Bay, andesite and marine cliffs, green olivine sand called 
uguisizuma, agate, Tertiary rocks, semi-fossil snail shells, "Oni- 
iwa, an ogreish stack," northernmost Haha-jima, pinnacled islets of 
Harino-iwa, etc. All this is the groundwork for understanding the 
environment for the Bonin Island biotae Then follow plates 43 to 
130 comprising 213 exquisite color photographs of mostly native 
plants, many so easy to recognize as they or their relatives are 
likewise found in the better-known Hawaiian Islands. Some of the 
identical species, for example, appear to be Ipomoea pes-caprae vare 
emarginata, Cassytha filiformis, Calophyllum inophyllum, Psilotum 
nudum and Neottopteris nidus. Personally prejudiced in noting the 
occurrence of the same, uninteresting, horribly beautiful ornamen- 
tals of gardens the world around threatening a fascinating native 
flora, we regret Drs. Tuyama and Asami’s wasted film on the south- 
east Asian Melia azedarach, the American Leucaena "glauca" now 
found to be actually leucocephala, the American Psidium java, 
the American Cassia (or as we "splitters" prefer, Ditremexa oc- 
cidentalis, the African Thunbergia alata and its Indian relative 
T. laurifolia, the American Schinus terebinthifolius, the American 
Nicotiana tabacum beloved by Dr. Tuyama, an atypical African Hi- 
biscus schizopetalus with Asiatic admixture, the more southern | 
Codiaeum variegatum hort.e, the American Allamanda cathartica, the 
American Poinsettia pulcherrima horte, the East ? Indian Bryophyl- 
lum pinnatum, the American Agave americana and a variety of the 
American Passiflora foetidae We should have so much preferred en= 
demics or even natives instead. But that, of course, is a matter 
of taste as the old lady maintained when she kissed the cowWe 


Plates 131 - 134 show magnificently black fruit bats, not un- 
like the larger brown flying foxes sampled broiled in Fiji by one 
of the reviewers; the diminutive deer Cervus mariannus (note double 
“n"), fleeing feral goats; and an example ple of erosion described as 
"Patches of grassland, result of cattle-bite." The nine plates fol- 
lowing of birds will delight the viewer whether he be ornithologist 
or note Another plate shows the toad Bufo marianus (note single 
"n"), not to be confused with the Cuban toad B, marinus naturaliz- 
ed in the Hawaiian Isiands. Four plates are devoted to colorful 
insects; about 25 to intricate corals, overlapping somewhat with 
about as many plates devoted to fishes and marine invertebrates. 
The last dozen or so are of human interest: scenes of a model vil= 
lage, a meteorological station, a Christian (!) church, a schoo}, 
shipping of specimens and ships, a scene of the Metropolitan Gover= 
nor giving an address, and very appropriately at the very last a 
solemn "Monument of the war dead, Iso-jimae" One question, however, 
bothers use Where are the native Micronesians? Did all fall victims 
to the horrors of war, or were they evacuated never to return?

Pictures are well nigh a universal language; and Volume II con- 
sists only of these, each with captions in Japanese and English. 
This book we highly recommend to the geologist, to the profession- 
al botanist specializing in plants of the Pacific, to the general 
botanist interested in the plant world as a whole, to zoologists 
of various disciplines, to the armchair traveler, and to the Veter- 
ans of World War II who now can show their families and friends 
the type of islands they defended with devastation and how Nature 
in about thirty years healed the scars of human conflicte 


From the Japanese blurb we cannot tell the price of the work, 
nor whether sets can be broken. Due to the excellence of Volume II, 
we hope the Hirokawa Publishing Company, 27 - 14, Hongo = 3, 
Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, will soon publish an English translation 
of Volume I for the sake of reaching a wider reading public. 


BOOK REVIEW 


Otto Degener 


A Russian book in the field of Taxonomy is now available to us 
English readers through the authorized translation by C. Jeffrey, 
Senior Scientific Officer, Kew, England, of a work by Armen Takhta- 
jan, Botanical Institute of the Academy of Sciences, Leningrad. 


Dr. Takhtajan's "Flowering Plants, Origin and Dispersal" was 
published by Oliver & Boyd, Edinburgh, in 1969, and sells for 4 
2.50. It comprises 310 pages of which 31 are devoted to the Biblio- 
graphy ("Scottsberg" should read "Skottsberg™) and 26 to the Indexe 
Though this leaves but 253 pages for text, this is packed with in- 
formation illustrated with 13 plates and 32 figures. 


Chapter 3 begins with long established convictions held by many 
of us that "The identity of the ancestors of the flowering plants 
is a most difficult problem - - -e", and that "In spite of their 
great diversity, all seed plants have so much in common that their 
origin from more than one ancestral group seems unlikely.” Takhta- 
jan then coneludes, in agreement with many other workers, that the 
angiosperms arose from some very ancient group of gymnosperms hav- 
ing primitive secondary xylem of scalariform tracheids and primi- 
tive bisexual strobili. These last must have been large; terminal; 
and with an elongate axis bearing spirally arranged leafy bracts 
and leaf-like, pinnate sporophylls. The microsporangia and ovules 
were numerous; the microsporangia free and the ovules without a 
micropyle. The strobili in most cases were cross-pollinated by in- 
sects such as beetles. The carpel may have evolved as an organ of 
great survival value, protecting the large ovule from being eaten 
and in general enabling it to become reduced in sizee

The mysterious absence of fossil remains of the earliest flower- 
ing plants is explained as probably due to such groups having e- 
volved rapidly in montane regions where conditions for fossiliza- 
tion were far less favorable than in the lowlands where sediments 
tended to accumulate. 


Chapter 6, the longest, builds the first flowering plants via a 
hypothetical reconstruction. Then follow "Living Fossils." These, 
according to the author, are the Magnoliales, comprising the Win- 
teraceae, Magnoliaceae, Degeneriaceae, Himantandraceae, Eupomati- 
aceae, Annonaceae, Canellaceae and Myristicaceae Next are charac- 
terized various families, somewhat reminiscent to us English read-= 
ers of Arthur J. Eames" “Morphology of the Angiosperms," published 
seven years after Takhatajan's "Origin of Angiospermous Plants" 
and the same year as the latter's second editiono 


Authentic angiosperm fossils are found only from the Harly Cre- 
taceous onward. Their center of distribution was somewhere between 
Eastern India and “Polynesia,” perhaps more accurately expressed as 
"Melanesia." After discussing the differentiation of floras, he 
deals with the evolution of the Tertiary flora of the Northern 
Hemisphere. The Appendix. explains his ideas regarding the classi- 
fication of the flowering plants; figure 31, a dendrogram of his 
94 accepted, living orders, gives a bird's eye views 


Prof. Takhtajan's "Flowering Plants, Origin and Dispersal” is a 
quicker book to read and to absorb than is the almost contemporary 
text book by Prof. Eames. Both books are especially suited for the 
professional botanist and for the more advanced college studente

very narrow-leaved form. 

Sprengel, in his 1825 work, regards C. lanceolaria Roxb. as a 
distinct species and places Ce japonica - Thunb. in the synonymy of 
C. longifolia, but in his 1828 work correctly regards Thunberg's 
plant as a distinct and valid species. Beissner, Schelle, & Za- 
bel (1903), on the other hand, place Ce. longifolia in synonymy 
under C. japonica! Schauer (18,7) reduced C. japonica to synonymy 
under C. longifolia. Li (1963) gives a "C. pilocalyx Clark" as a 
synonym of C. longifolia, but by this he unquestionably means C. 
psilocalyx C. B. Clarke, which is a distinct and valid species. 
The Callicarpa acuminata Roxb. cited as a synonym of C. longifolia 
by Schauer (1847) is actually C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn., while the 
C. adenanthera R. Br., also cited by him, is C. candicans (Burn. 
f.) Hochr. 

Kanehira & Hatusima (192) feel that C. formosana Rolfe "does 
not seem to be distinct from this polymorphous and widely distrib- 
uted species [C. longifolia]", but with this concept I cannot agree. 
Dop (1932) regards C. dentata Wall. and C. virens Reinw., each only 
"in part", as synonyms BL a Pilg Cc. longifolia. Bean (1951) regards Ce. 
longifolia as a synonym of C C. japonica var. angustata Rehd., but it 
is only in "sensu Hemsl." that this is true. The Callicarpus ob- 
longifolia ®@ acuminatissima Hassk. is C. pedunculata R. Br.

Li (1963) reduces C. kotoensis Hayata and C. japonica var. 
kotoensis (Hayata) Masamune to synonymy under Cc. longifolia, say- 
ing “Hayata says of his C. kotoensis as 'near C. pilocalyx Clark 
and C. longifolia Lamk., but differs from both by the larger 


flowers and less hairy leaves' When compared with large series 
of C. longifolia specimens from all over tropical Asia, the Lanyu 
plant cannot be specifically separated". I regard both names as 
synonymous with C. japonica var. luxurians Rehd. Kanehira (1936) 
regards C, antaoensis Hayata as a synonym of what he calls C. 
kotoensis.

form of C. longifolia Lam. by various previous authors (including 
myself), are now regarded by me as representing f. floccosa Schau.,

It should be noted here that the C. americana accredited to 
Blanco and referred to in the synonymy of C. longifolia is actual- 
ly a synonym of C. formosana Rolfe, that accredited to Lamarck, 
to Roxburgh, and to Willdenow pelotes in the synonymy of C. aneri-

Similarly, the C. purpurea ascribed to "Hort. ex Moldenke" and

also to C, candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. 

It is worth noting here that Lamarck's original description of 
C. longifolia (1785) is often incorrectly dated "1783". 

Because of the great importance of Schauer's treatment of this 
taxon and the various interpretations which have been accorded it 
since that time, it is worthwhile to repeat his discussion here:

Miquel's original description of his C. lanata ® uberior 
(1856) is "foliis e basi cuneata elliptico-oblongis, acumine haud 
abrupte terminatis, semi pedalibus......Sumatra." 

Merrill (1912) comments that the Cuming 1330 collection from 
the Philippines, cited by Schauer in the above quotation, certain- 
ly does not agree well with the original description of C. longi- 
folia and "to me does not appear to be closely allied to Lamarck's 
species", He therefore makes it the type collection of C. doli- 
chophylla Merr., and with this disposition I fully agree. 

When Schauer's two named forms were regarded as separate from 
the typical form of the species, the following key was proposed 
and used in the annotation of a considerable number of herbarium 
specimens in many widespread herbaria: 

1. Leaf-blades glabrous beneath or practically so, no stellate 
hairs on the lamina of the lower surface; hairs, if present, 
simple, or stellate only on the midrib........C. longifolia. 

la. Leaf-blades more or less stellate-floccose beneath. 

2. Leaf-blades very sparsely stellate on the lower surface, 
chiefly on the midrib and larger venation.......es.ceccree 
C. longifolia f. subglabrata. 
2a. Leaf-blades more densely stellate on the lower surface, on 
the lamina as well as on the venation............s2ceeecee 
C. longifolia f, floccosa. 

This separation, however, has not proved to be practical and I 

now regard Schauer's f. subglabrata to be equivalent to the typi- 

cal form of the species, as, indeed, it was originally proposed 
by him. His f. floccosa, then, is the only one of his two forms 
now accepted as worthy of being maintained. It was Hochreutiner 

(193) who first pointed out that Schaver's form "subglabrata" 

was actually "Varietas typica speciei" and not a separate taxon. 

The Hainan material cited below has, in general, the leaf- 
blades completely glabrous. Other material is merely subglab- 
rous on the lower surface, with no stellate hairs on the actual 
lamina, the hairs (when present) being mostly simple, or the 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 105 


stellate hairs are confined to the midrib. 

Callicarpa longifolia is employed as a hedge plant in parts of 
India, and is also used as a fish-poison. Its bark is used by the 
Japanese on the Johnstone River, in Queensland, as a substitute 
for the betel leaf when chewing the Areca nuts with lime. Lam 
(192h) reports that it is also used to check dysmenorrhea. Heyne 
(1917) has this to say: "Rumphius geeft den naam sanka....opvoor 
zijn Mamanira alba....., welke nog niet met zekerheid is geiden- 
tificeerd en beschrijft dien als een struik, nist boven een man 
hoog, wassende op magere velden, in het kreupelbosch en in verla-

loop. De bladeren dienen als kraamzuiverend middel en, fijnge- 
wreven met rijst en wat djinten in azijn gekookt, ter bevochtig- 
ing van omslagen voor - of tot het verdrijven van - harde ge- 
zwellen. Het gebruik van de bladeren van C. longifolia, dat mij 
te Buitenzorg werd opgegeven, komt hiermede overeen: zij zouden 
m. 1. de medicijn wezen voor wonden en zwellingen, die maar niet 
beter willen worden. Ook de toepassing door Ridley....vermeld,

Rumphius terug in het gebruik van de wortels. 

"Nog twee mijner aanteekeningen maken melding van inwendig ge- 
bruik als geneesmiddel (een van een afkooksel en een van een koud 
aftreksel van de gewreven bladeren), zoodat het verwondering 
baart, dat deze plant zoo giftig is voor visschen als volgen moet 
uit Indische Vergiftrapporten No. 201, indien temminste de opge- 
geven wetenschappelijke naam juist is. Men leest daar, dat op 
Siaoe de bladeren van den tama worden gebizigd om de visschen te 
dooden, die bij eb in het rif zijn achtergebleven. Daartoe worden 
de bladeren of fijngestampt in het water geworpen, of aan de 
steenen van het rif gekneusd, zoodat het sap zich met het zeewa- 
ter vermengt. De visschen zouden onmiddellijk bedwelmd geraken 
en zich gemakkelijk laten vangen. Hetzelfde geval doet zich ech- 
ter voor bij een andere (nog niey herkende) Callicarpasoort, door 
Rumphius (IV, bl. 12) onder den naam van Frutex ceramicus be- 
schreven als een heester, op Ambon onbekend, doc doch op Banda als 
kajoe ceram in de hoven eeplant als vischbedwelmend middel. Hij 
zegt, dat men de bladeren stampt in een korfje doet en afgedekt 
een nacht laat staan. Man gaat daarmede naar plaatsen, waar bij 
afloopend getij water is blijven staan en strooit het, al wrij- 
vend totdat het schuimt, op het water; de visschen komen daardoor 
dood boven drijven. Yoor de menschen en overige wezens is echter, 
zegt Rumphius, deze plant onschadelijk, want de wortel wordt als 
medicijn inwendig gebruikt, de bladeren worden door bokken en 
schapen afgegraasd en spreeuwen en andere vogels eten de vruchten! 

Pammel, on the authority of Greshoff, also records this species 
as a fish-poison. Uphof (1968) says that it is "Used for poultic- 
ing in fever and colic among the Malays". 

It should be noted here that the type collection of C. javanica 
is Zippelius s.n. from Java and that of C. attenuifolia is ; Elmer —

ted below, and collected in 1822 on Penang Island, is a cotype of 
C. attenuata Wall., the other cotypes being an Ahern and a Jack 
collection not seen by me. The basis of C. tomentosa Thunb. is 
the Thunberg s.n. specimen cited below and deposited in the her- 
barium of the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum in Stockholm, while that 
of C. longifolia var. acuminatissima is Ploem s.n. from Java de- 
posited in the Buitenzorg herbarium. 

Kuntze (1891) says of his C. longifolia var. pubinervis: "Fo- 
lia subtus in nervis pubescentia ceterum glabra, sed glandulis 
punctiformibus munita. Java, verbreitet. Der Beschreibung nach 
gehort auch var. lanceolaria Clarke hierher, aber lanceolaria 
Roxb. wird leaves very hoary underneath beschrieben. Unter var. 
subglabrata verstand Schauer noch var. japonica OK. (Thbg. 178), 
foliis glaberrimis." I am designating Kuntze 5166 in the Britton 
Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden as lectotype of this 
variety because this is the only one of the five specimens in 
Kuntze's herbarium labeled as this variety by him which has the 
Latin description placed by him after the name; it was collected 
at Ngalindung, Java, at an altitude of 3000 feet, on June 23, 
1875. 

Lindley & Paxton (1853) also comment on the error made by 
Schauer (1847) in uniting C. japonica Thunb. with C. longifolia, 
and point out some of the obvious differences between the two 
taxa, stating that in C. longifolia the cymes are smaller, the 
calyx is firm and fleshy, and the calyx-teeth more conspicuous, 
and that it is "a southern plant, much more tender" than C. ja- 
ponica. 

Chopra, Badhwar, & Ghosh (1965) report C. longifolia from the 
Nicobar Islands. They claim that var. lanceolaria (Roxb.) C. B. 
Clarke differs only in having the leaves narrower and thinner, 
"elabrate and densely minutely gland—dotted beneath when mature"! 
This, however, is a misinterpretation of that taxon, for, as 
Kuntze pointed out, Roxburgh's original description calls for 
the leaf-blades to be "very hoary underneath". In my opinion, 
it belongs in the synonymy of f. floccosa Schau. The "var. 
lanceolaria" in the interpretation of Chopra, Badhwar, & Ghosh 
is said by them to occur plentifully in central Bengal and in 
the Khasi Hills up to an altitude of about 3000 feet and that 
"it likely possesses fish-poison properties". These same 
authors describe the mature leaves of C. longifolia as "beneath 
so closely fulvous stellate-villous that few of the glands are 
visible", but obviously this applies not to the typical form of 
the species but to f. floccosa only. It would seem, therefore, 
that what they regard as typical C. longifolia is really f. floc- 
cosa, while what they regard as var. lanceolaria is actually the 
typical C. longifolia. They refer to the fruit as a "berry", 
but it is actually a drupe. 

Maheshwari (1963) reports that at Delhi the species blooms 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 107 


from September to November and fruits from January to March. He 
cites Maheshwari 663, taken from cultivated material growing in 
the Talkatora Gardens of Delhi. 

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) describes C. longifolia as "A 
slender shrub, branchlets, cymes and petioles almost glabrescent; 
leaves lanceolate, minutely denticulate-serrulate to almost en- 
tire, upper side glabrous when aldult, lower side almost glabrous, 
except on the nerves; cymes slender, lax, rather long petioled; 
calyx scarcely hairy or glabrous; corolla rose or whitish, 
scarcely pubescent outside; ovary densely glandular, not hairy." 
He comments about the f. subglabrata and f. floccosa: "It is not 
possible to distinguish distinctly the numerous varieties, which 
exist between the above-mentioned two extreme :‘forms." 

Domin (1928) describes, but does not name, a "forma inflores- 
centia valde laxa, divaricata, iteratim dichotoma excellens" from 
Queensland, based on his unnumbered collection from "bei Yarraba 
in den die Bachufer begleitenden Regenwilder bis 550 m empor- 
steigend", collected in January, 1910. A note by C. T. White on 
Brass 3969 from Papua says “almost the same as much Queensland 
material under C. longifolia". Koorders (1912) tells us that C. 
longifolia is found over "Ganz Java: Von 0--1700 m. ii. M. im 
lichten Regemwald gemein aber zerstreut". 

Junell (1934) notes that "Auch bei C. longifolia habe ich 
einigemale beobachtet, dass die Teilung des Zentralkerns von 
Bildung einer Querwand begleitet ist". Dop (1932), in speaking 
of C. bracteata Dop, says: "Cette espéce est voisine du C. longi- 
folia Lam. Elle s'en distingue aisément par les pédoncules des des 
cymes beaucoup plus longs, les bractées foliacées. La longueur 
du pédoncules la rapprocherait du C. longipes Dunn de Chine et 
de Hongkong 5 mais les feuilles longuement attenuées, la calice a 
dents trés petites, d* elolgnent nettement du C. longipes a feuil- 
les arrondies ou cordées 4 la base et 4 calice divisé jusqu'au 
milieu." 

A wood sample accompanies R. S. Williams 2116. The Teijsmann 
s.n. (Boeroe Kajeli] specimen, , cited below, is is interesting be- 
cause it consists only of complete Lant-aioiatacaet The R. Fer- 
reyra 076 collection from Lima, Peru, is doubtfully placed here 
since the collector avers that its feutie were red and that it 
grew in a stony habitat, with no hint that it represents culti- 
vated material. 

Vidal y Soler (1885) cites Cuming 1330 from the Philippine Is- 
lands, but this number is the type c collection of C. dolichophylla 
Merr., as has been pointed out previously. 

Domin (1928) cites Domin s.n. [Harvey's Creek, XII.1909] & s. 
n. (Yarraba, I.1910] from Queensland. Bentham & Mueller (1870) _ 
cite only a Dallachy s.n. [Rockingham Bay] from Queensland. Ap- 
parently this was the only Australian specimen of this species 
known to them. They describe it as "leaves.....green and nearly 
glabrous or sprinkled with very short hairs above, more copiously 


108 PHYTO b.0G dh Vol. 21, no. 2 


tomentose and glandular underneath but usually green or very 
slightly rusty or whitish." This description definitely points 
to f. floccosa Schau. rather than to the typical form of the spe- 
cies. 

Koorders (1912) cites Pulle 3119 from Java. Bakhuizen van den 


Brink (192) cites Atasrip p Lh, Lam Lam 20h9, and Thomsen 664 from New

tentatively. Some specimens of these eathiant! dm are also cited 
under C. longifolia f. floccosa. These specimens were mostly an- 
notated by me a considerable number of years ago, before my pres- 
ent concepts of the delimitations of these taxa had crystallized. 


The specimens need to be re-examined.

previously Sorecarded i by me me as S representing typical C C. longifolia, 
and so annotated by me in some herbaria, seem actually to repre— 
sent f. floccosa instead. 

The Elmer 20102 & 2002 collections, cited below, actually 
show some of the lower leaf-surfaces more or less sparsely stel- 
late, but this is usually only on the youngest leaves; the adult 
leaves are glabrate beneath, so I am retaining these two collec- 
tions here under the typical form of the species. The Elmer 
15336 and Lei 114 also seem to exhibit intermediate characters. 

In all, 38) herbarium specimens, including type material of 
several of the names involved, and 5 mounted photographs have 
been examined by me.

This form differs from the typical form of the species in hav- 
ing the branches and branchlets more or less densely flacescent-— 
or canescent-tomentose or canescent-—furfuraceous with branched 
hairs, the petioles densely tomentose or furfuraceous, the ieaf- 
blades more or less densely stellate-furfuraceous or hoary be- 
neath, the peduncles and pedicels densely canescent-furfuraceous 
or flavescent-tomentose, the bractlets pubescent, the calyx more 
or less densely pubescent or granulose-puberulent, the ovary 
densely granular-pulverulent, and the fruiting-calyx varying 
from densely puberulent to lightly pulverulent. 

Schauer's original (1847) description of this taxon is as fol- 
lows: "@ . floccosa, ramulis cum inflorescentiae ramis calyce 
foliorumque reti floccoso-tomentosis, foliis adultis super& pa- 
gin glabratis infer& vero floccis stellaribus sparsis nunc rari-

The C. acuminata Roxb., which Schauer includes in the synonymy 
of this form, is actually a synonym of C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn., 
while the C. adenanthera R. Br., which he also includes here, is 
a synonym of C. candicans (Burn. f.) Hochr. His Australian record 
must therefore be discounted and the R. Brown collection removed 
from the list of cotype collections which typify the trinomial. 

Recent collectors describe the plant as a bush, subshrub, or 
small to tall shrub, 1--5 m. tall, or rarely a small tree, 6--15 
m. tall, the trunk usually only about 2 cm. in diameter, but some- 
times attaining a girth of 12.8 cm., the leaves dark-green above, 
pale-green beneath, the flowers pubescent, buds green, anthers 
yellow, and the fruit green when young, white when mature [or 
"purple" on Wang 36335, probably an error in transcription]. It 
hzs been found in forests, dense or open forests, primary or sec- 
ondary forests, evergreen forests or light woods, forests near 
boulder creeks, secondgrowth jungles, thickets, open thickets, etc.

flowered inflorescences, and flowers with linear-lanceate sepals 
(3 X 0.6-0.8 mm) and non-inflated ventral appendages on the 
stamens; E. pullei has 5-nerved leaf blades with rounded bases, 
well-developed panicles, and oblong-subulate calyx lobes; and E. 
blackii (ex char.) has flowers in foliose panicles, connectives 
long-produced in the large stamens, and styles glandular-pilose. 
All three suggested relatives share with E. confertiflora the 
feature of glabrous 3-celled ovaries; the other two species of 
Ernestia having this ovarial feature, E. glandulosa Gleason and 
E. cordifolia Berg ex Triana, are more distantly related. 


TIBOUCHINA RIGIDULA (Naud.) Wurdack, comb. nov. 

Lasiandra rigidula Naud., Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot. 13: 
150. 1850. 

Cogniaux evidently followed Triana's lead in synonymizing 
Naudin's species under T. aemula (pe. ) Cogn.; the latter is 
quite a different species vegetatively and in floral structure. 
Naudin's remarks about the affinities with Lasiandra fontanesiana 
(Bonpl.) DC. are quite true. ‘The species may be characterized by 
the finely strigulose upper leaf surfaces (not at all bullate), 
roughened erect hairs on the lower leaf surfaces, slightly 
roughened hypanthial hairs, moderately villose-lanate (the hairs 
caducously gland-tipped) filaments, and the nearly glabrous 
style; probably the best placement in Cogniaux' monograph would 
be (ex char.) near T. formosa Cogn. The type locality for T. 
rigidula, "Villa Principe", is equivalent to present-day Serro 
in Minas Gerais between Itabira and Diamantina; a recent collec- 
tion from the same region is Irwin, Maxwell, & Wasshausen 20331 
(Serra do Cipé, km 132 ca. 153 km north of Belo Horizonte). 
Macbride photograph 36149 is of the holotype of Lasiandra 
rigidula, the collection without number; a duplicate (P) has the 
St. Hilaire number Bl 996. 

Incidentally, I am exceedingly skeptical that T. aemula, 
T. valtheri Cogn., and T. adamantinensis Brade can be distin- 
guished from one another; indeed, one Vauthier collection cited 
by Cogniaux as T. aemula (Vauthier s.n., P) comes from the type 
locality, Marianna (M. Gerais) of T. valtheri; at Paris I noted 
that Mexia 5703 and 5788 are good matches for the type collectim 
of T. valtheri. Unfortunately no detailed notes were taken at 
Munich on the holotype (Macbride photograph 6347) of T. aemula. 


TIBOUCHINA VIMINEA (D. Don) Cogn. 

The only Don-annotated material seen is a specimen in the 
Fielding Herbarium at Oxford, also annotated by Joseph Hooker; 
the locality data are "Brazil" and "Liverpool"(?), with no 
collector indicated. At Munich are two sheets of cultivated 
material (Presl Herb. s.n. and Hort. Monac. s.n.), both showing 
somewhat more robust plants than the Oxford collection. A wild 
collection which is an excellent match for the Fielding Hertrium 
specimen is L. B. Smith 1532 (Soberbo-Guapy, Organ Mountains, 
Rio de Janeiro).

Paratypes (all topotypical): Gonzalo Aguirre-S. 601 (US, 
COL); Gustavo Lozano-C. 997 (US, COL); W. Seifriz 102 (US). 

Monochaetum meridense shows stamen dimorphism similar to 
that in M. magdalenense, but has smooth trichomes, 5-plinerved 
leaves, and sparsely strigulose hypanthia. Monochaetum 
laxifolium has barbellate pubescence, but much smaller leaf 
blades, sparsely strigulose hypanthia, eciliate sepals, and 
Subisomorphic stamens which are all fertile. Monochaetum 
uberrimm Sandwith, the holotype of which (K) has been examined, 
differs from M. dalenense in the smooth hairs, smaller 5- 
plinerved leaves (out perhaps immature on the holotype), sparsely 
strigulose hypanthia, relatively longer appendages on the large 
stamen connectives, and at least semifertile small stamens. 


118 PHYTOL? Gres Vol. 21, no. 2 


Directly involved with M. wbereuum are two recent Magdalena 
collections (Romero Castaneda oot from San Sebastian de Rabago; 
Cuatrecasas & Romero Castaneda 24706, from Cancurua), with 
smooth pubescence, large leaves, glabrous hypanthia, and semi- 
sterile anthers in the smaller stamens; further study seems 
stymied until topotypical collections of M. uberrimum appear. 
For the present, the strongly roughened pubescence of M. 
magdalenense distinguishes it from all other taxa with deciduous 
sepals treated by Gleason (and also M. gleasonianum Wurdack) 
except M. laxifolium (Am. Jour. Bot. 16: 519-522. 1929).

Graffenrieda tamana has leaf blades which are basally 
nerved and not decurrent on the petioles, as well as pedicellate 
flowers; the other close relative, G. emarginata (R. & P.) 
Triana has basally cordulate leaf blades and defined granulose- 
pinoid pubescence. From both species, G. uribei differs in the 
sparse simple pubescence on the lower leaf surfaces. Arcabuco 
evidently is a pocket of species endemicity (see also Monochaetun

uribei subsp. arcabucense Wurdack) which Padre Uribe is sampling 
admirably. 


MICONIA AMACURENSIS Wurdack 

Wachenheim 100 (P), from Crique Jacques, French Guiana, 
agrees with Venezuelan and Brazilian collections of M. amacurensis 
in all essential features, differing only in the shallowly and 
distantly undulate-denticulate leaf margins. This collection 
gives M. amacurensis a more continuous known distribution along 
the aretapear th coast of South America (Phytologia 18: 150. 
1969). 


MICONIA INAEQUALIFOLIA Triana 

The holotype (K) is comparable with several recent Colombian 
(Schultes & Cabrera 16685 and 19825, both from Jinogojée, Rfo 
Apaporis, Amazonas-Vaupes, fruiting) and Brazilian (Krukoff 8936 
from Sao Paulo de Olivenga, Amazonas, in bud) collections. The 
Brazilian material was mentioned by Gleason in the original 
description of M. filamentosa Gleason and indeed that species 
may well be only a minor variant of M. inaequalifolia with leaf 
blades 3-nerved and tapering to a narrowly rotund base. WNo 
floral differences are evident between the species, the ovaries 
of both being predominantly 3-celled despite Gleason's descrip- 
tion (Bull. Torrey Club 65: 579. 1938). The Colombian collec- 
tions of M. inaequalifolia had earlier been cited by me under 
M. filamentosa (Rhodora 65: 19. 1963). Another variant in this 
complex (with slightly larger flowers, more prominent external 
calyx teeth, and slightly different connective appendages on 
the large stamens, but foliage as in M. filamentosa) has twice 
been collected in subandean Colombia (Rfo Ortequaza, Caqueta, 
Cuatrecasas & Soderstrom 27146; Solano, Putumayo, Little & Little 
g7he) and should perhaps also be compared (ex char.) with 
M. sprucei Triana.

Strangely enough, both sheets (US, VEN) examined of Pittier 
13020 had been correctly determined by Pittier in Miconia, the 
description in Clidemia thus an apparent lapsus; the Caracas 
specimen shows young lateral growth overtopping the morpho- 
logically truly terminal inflorescence. As is to be noted in 
detail elsewhere, the Bonpland holotype of M. ibaguensis was 
actually collected in Hio. Sucre, Venezuela, rather than 
Colombia.

Type Collection: Sidney McDaniel 10833 (holotype 
US 2562681), collected in non-inundated river bank forest at 
Intuto, Rfo Tigre, Depto. Loreto, Peru, elev. 160m, 9 Aug. 
1968. "Shrub to 5 m; corolla white." 

Paratype (topotypical): McDaniel 10780 (fruiting), 

k Aug. 1968. 

Miconia decipiens, endemic to Colombia (Antioquia), has 
5-plinerved leaf blades with short (ca. 1 cm long) petioles, as 
well as glabrous ovary apices. The general vegetative aspect 
and stamens of M. macdanielii are rather like those in M. 
stelligera Cogn. sens. lat., which has rather smaller leaf 
blades with sparser lower surface pubescence, a somewhat 
different inflorescence pattern, petals moderately stellulate- 
puberulous outside, and moderately stellulate-puberulous ovary 
apices; also there is a different size distribution of vegeta- 
tive pubescence, even considering the variants earlier discussed 
by me (Phytologia 9: 417. 1964). Vegetatively, especially in 
leaf venulation (but not in reproductive features), M. dispar 
Benth. (with however denser foliar pubescence) resembles M. 
macdanielii. In the Flora of Peru, M. macdanielii would 
perhaps key to near M. zubenetana Macbride, which really is not 
closely related, having leaf blades essentially glabrous except 
for the very fine stellulate hairs on the primary veins beneath, 
smaller flowers, and basally prolonged anther connectives. The 
taxonomic impprtance of the glandular inflorescence hairs is 
perhaps minimal, such hairs being almost completely absent in 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 121 


the fruiting paratype. 


MICONIA SHATTUCKII Standley 

Long considered endemic to Barro Colorado Island, Panama 
(a recent topotype being Ebinger 198), M. shattuckii is now 
recorded for Colombia (Haught 4927, from Turbo, Antioquia, elev. 
200 m). ‘The recent collections have provided floral details: 
hypanthium 2-2.3 mm long, sparsely puberulous with pinoid hairs 
0.1-0.2 mm long; calyx tube 0.5 mm long, the broadly ovate 
interior lobes 0.2 mm high, the minute external teeth infra- 
marginal; torus within sparsely glandular-puberulous; petals 
4,2-4.3 X 2.3 mm, obovate-oblong with rounded apex, glabrous; 
stamens isomorphic, glabrous; filaments 3 mm long; thecae 1.9- 
2 X 0.6 X 0.5 m, oblong, with a minute dorsally tipped pore; 
connective neither prolonged nor appendaged; stigma truncate, 
not expanded; style 5.3 X 0.4 m, sparsely glandular-puberulous 
(the hairs ca. 0.2 mm long) at the base; ovary 5-celled, 3/4 
inferior, with a sparsely glandular-puberulous apex. The 
flexuous cauline hairs are sparsely barbellate and very minutely 
and caducously gland-tipped. Obviously M. shattuckii should be 
Placed in Sect. Amblyarrhena and in Cogniaux'’ Monograph would 
key to ca. species 361-363, differing from all these in vegeta- 
tive and floral details. 


MICONIA OBSCURA (Bonpl.) Dc. . 

Miconia trichrona Macbride, Field Mus. Publ. Bot. 4: 183. 
1929. 
The type (Bonpland ex herb. Adrien Jussieu, P) and isotype 
(P) of M. obscura, not annotated by Naudin, Triana, or Cogniaux, 
have been compared with an isot (US) of M. trichrona. 
Weberbauer 6309 (Cajamarca, Peru) and Maguire & Maguire 44360 
(Zamora, Ecuador) match the isotype of M. obscura. The species 
is very closely related to M. capitellata Cogn., which has 
sparsely barbellate (rather than essentially smooth) cauline 
pubescence, obtusely based plinerved (rather than rounded and 
basally nerved) leaf blades with somewhat finer pubescence on 
the upper surfaces, and larger flowers (anthers 2.1-2.3 mm long, 
dry, rather than 1.2-1.5[-1.7] mm; petals 2-2.1 mm wide rather 
than 1.5-1.8 mm; stigma 1 mm diam., rather than 0.5-0.7 mm). A 
ood match for the type of M. capitellata (P) is Jameson s. n. 
(us). In both species, the style is loose-strigulose, the fila- 
ments glabrous or very sparsely glandular-puberulous on the 
adaxial side, and the ovary apex moderately setulose. The 
hierarchal resolutions of other parts of this complex, including 
M. aggregata Gleason and M. hamata Cogn., are still pending. 

The species problem had been discussed in Mem. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 
16(1): 20-21. 1967.

Wms., Fieldiana Bot. 29: 556. 1963. 


122 PoluY cf 04h. 0.G.1.4 Vol. 21, no. 2 


After considerable meandering through the large specimen 
welter in this complex, supplemented by examination of Bonpland's 
(P) and Don's (MA, OXF) type collections, I cannot see any real 
differences in the two taxa. As mentioned by Williams, C. 
neglecta is intermediate between C. capitellata and C. dependens 
Don, but his key characters of inflorescence branching and 
underleaf pubescence do not obtain for the type collections. 

For C. capitellata in the Flora de Venezuela, only the typical 
variety, var. dependens (Don) Macbride, and var. leyelii Wurdack 
will be recognized. Among modern collections, the best matches 
(all US) for the types are: C. capitellata var. capitellata, 
Uribe 3727, from Guaduas (old trail to Honda, the type locality} 
Cundinamarca, Colombia; C. neglecta, Buchtien 1149, Mapiri 
region, Bolivia; C. dependens, Tonduz L561, Boruca, Costa Rica 
and Prance, Rodrigues, Ramos, & Farias 8857, Mutumparand, 
Rondonia, Brazil. Some collections from over a wide geographic 
range have smaller flowers in very well branched inflorescences 
and perhaps will require further infraspecific recognition. 

For the present, Naudin's comments (Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot. 
17: 317. 1852) are echoable: "quod tamen posteris solvendum 
relinquimus." 

The location of the Pavon holotypes of the melastomes 
described by David Don remains problematic. At both the British 
Museum (Natural History) and Oxford (Fielding Herbarium) are 
specimens annotated with Don's binomials and "D. Don in Wern. 
Trans."; the minute handwriting is not that of David Don and has 
not been immediately identifiable (personal correspondence) by 
Mrs. Hortense Miller from her research on the Lambert Herbarium 
(Taxon 19: 489-553. 1970). ‘Thus the current references to Don's 
type collections are to presumed isotypes. Don's personal 
herbarium went to the Linnean Society in London but subsequently 
was purchased by von Martius (Lot 254, Catal. Nat. Hist. Colls. 
sold by the Linnean Society through J. C. Stevens) on Nov. 10, 
1863. However, none of the critical melastome specimens were 
found at either Brussels or Munich during my European trip in 
1969-70, so perhaps Don did not incorporate such materials into 
his personal collection from his tenure as curator of the 
Lambert Herbarium. On one of the two Fielding Herbarium iso- 
types of Clidemia neglecta was penciled (by Mrs. Clokie?) 

"Herb. Prescott"; Mrs. Miller is inclined to believe (because 
of the date of Prescott's death) that this sheet probably did 
not come originally from Don or Lambert. Investigation into 
the melastome facet of the Lambert-Don history is being 
continued by Mrs. Miller. 


CLIDEMIA STRIGILLOSA (Sw.) DC. 

Clidemia umbonata DC., Prodr. 3: 158. 1828. 

From the pubescence, well-developed interior calyx lobes 
and external teeth, non-prolonged anther connectives, and 
glandular-setulose ovary apices, the Martius type (m) of C. 
umbonata seems to represent a form of C. strigillosa with lax 
fruiting inflorescences. The type collection is from Nogueira, 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 123 


the Macbride photograph (6439) being of another gathering. 
Some of the central Brazilian material cited by Cogniaux as 

C. wmbonata really represents a dodecandrous relative of 

C. bullosa DC. (sensu Wurdack); a phytogeographic aberrancy of 
this undescribed taxon has also been collected in Venezuela (El 
Paito, Carabobo, B. Trujillo 4835-Herb. Maracay). Because of 
complications with C. biserrata DC. (the current Brazilian 
specimens, including collections cited by Cogniaux, showing 
stamen numbers of 10-15 and ovary apices sparsely glandular- 
setulose as well as stellulate-puberulous) and C. bullosa 
(pleiostemonous, with ovary apices lacking glandular setulae), 
this taxon (including Braga 1048 from Parana, Pohl 1172 from 


Minas Gerais, and Macedo 1449 from Goias in Brazil; Rojas 3649 


and (Es Cristobal, & Ahumada 14257 from Paraguay; 
Trujillo 35, vide supra) has not been further evaluated. 


CLIDEMIA URCEOLATA DIC. 

As already indicated, C. neglecta D. Don is part of the 
C. capitellata complex. However, the species treated by 
Cogniaux as C. "neglecta" is distinct and well typified by the 
Martius collection (M) of C. urceolata from Rio de Janeiro, 
Brazil. The Raddi collections (FI) cited (Mem. Mod. 20: 161. 
1829) as Leandra strigillosa (Sw.) Raddi are actually C. 
urceolata, rather than (as cited by Cogniaux in synonymy) 
C. umbonata DC. In typical form, the species is known from 
Honduras (Molina 328, 10096, 14133; Williams & Molina 23255; 
Meyer 9920), British Honduras (Bartlett 11300; Lundell 6870; 
Hunt 210), Panama (Ebinger 424), Cuba, Venezuela (Carabobo, 
Nueva Esparta, Bolfvar), Trinidad, Colombia, and most of 
southeastern Brazil. Upland Guayana Highland (Venezuela) and 
Santander (Colombia) collections are aberrant (and probably 
infraspecifically distinct), having upper leaf surfaces 
moderately stellulate-puberulous and very sparsely glandular- 
setulose, lower leaf surfaces and hypanthia very densely 
stellate-puberulous, and ovary apices very inconspicuously 
glandular-setulose. The species is distinguishable from the 
forms of C. capitellata with much-branched inflorescences by 
the inconspicuous subulate to narrowly oblong inflorescence 
bracteoles and denser glandular pubescence. 


CLIDEMIA PUSTULATA DC. 

For the Flora de Venezuela, Cogniaux' interpretation of 
Cc. tulata is being followed, although I have seen no recent 
Brazilian (or other) collections exactly comparable to the 
holotype (M); Martius’ specimen shows hypanthia very densely 
glandular-setulose (ca. 1 mm), external calyx teeth projecting 
ca. 1 m, corolla sparsely glandular-setulose (0.2-0.3 mm) 
externally, stamens (perhaps malformed in the one flower 
examined) with connective barely (0.2-0.3 mm) prolonged, and 
S-celled ovary 2/3 inferior and moderately glandular-setulose 
(0.5-0.6 mm) apically. ‘The Cogniaux concept encompasses 
material from Costa Rica (Skutch 4094; Pittier 10561, 12001), 


12) P HE EQ LO, Geb aht Vol. 21, near 


Panama ( Qliver, & rtson 1330; Allen 2509), Colombia 
(Uribe Ko6L), Venezuela (Boltrar), Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana, 
and Brazil (Roraima). Probably C. pustulata sensu Cogniaux is 
only varietally distinct from C. urceolata, differing in the 
short even cauline and foliar pubescence and slightly smaller 
flowers with short external calyx teeth; decisive naming of 
specimens between the two taxa is often difficult. Both C. 
urceolata and C. tulata have a yellow pigment (from the 
glandular hair tips?) often staining newsprint and herbarium 
sheets, a feature not seen in related species. 


CLIDEMIA NOVEMNERVIA (DC.) Triana var. AFFINIS (Naud.) Wurdack, 
comb. nov. 

Staphidium affine Naud., Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot. 17: 
313. 1852. 

Clidemia affinis (DC.) Cogn., Mart. Fl. Bras. 14(4): 493, 
iil 10h, Plime 1888. 

Gleason (Brittonia 1: 167. 1932) treated both C. 
novemnervia and C. affinis as synonyms of C. umbonata (vide 
supra sub C. strigillosa); however both taxa are characterized 
by the stamen connectives prolonged 0.7-1.2 mm (but not append- 
aged) and the ovary apices stellulate-puberulous but without 
prominent glandular setulae, thus differing from both C. 
strigillosa (Sw.) DC. and C. urceolata DC.-C. pustulata IC. 
The holotype of C. novemnervia (P) was collected by Ferreira 
in Brazil and is well matched by Schultes & Cabrera 12714 
(Soratama, Rfo Apaporis, Amazonas-Vaupes, Colombia). The 
typical variety is characterized by the essentially sessile 
flowers with the hypanthium ca. 3 mm long, the interior calyx 
lobes 1.2-2 mm long and the external teeth projecting 1.3-2 mm, 
the ovary apex with an abrupt densely stellulate-puberulous 
collar 0.4-0.5 mm long; var. affinis has the flowers usually on 
evident slender pedicels, the hypanthium ca. 2.5 mm long, the 
interior calyx lobes 0.4-0.7 mm long and the external teeth 
projecting 0.3-0.8 mm, the conic ovary apex with a scarcely 
differentiated sparsely stellulate-puberulous collar 0.3 mm 
high. Some intermediates exist between the varieties, which 
however are generally well-marked. Cogniaux' C. affinis var. 
angustifolia does not merit recognition. The typical variety 
of C. novemnervia has a disjunct range: British Honduras, 
Colombia (Santander, Vaupés, Amazonas), Venezuela (Amazonas, 
Bolfvar), Brazil (Roraima, Amazonas, Rondénia). ‘The Central 
American population (C. reticulata Gleason, Brittonia 3: 110. 
1939) (also including Nicaragua fide Williams, the Standley 
collection not seen by me) was treated in the Flora of 
Guatemala (see also Fieldiana Bot. 29: 560. 1963) as a synonym 
of C. strigillosa; the latter is known to me from much of 
Central America (Guatemala, British Honduras, Honduras, 
Nicaragua, Panama). 


CLIDEMIA EPIBATERIUM DC. 
The original description cited obtuse petals and auricled 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 125 


anther bases; examination of the holotype (M) and the Geneva 
fragments (G-DC, with separate open flower) shows, however: 
petals oblong-lanceate, rounded at the apex, 2.5 X 0.6 m, 
externally sparsely setulose on the carina, with an external 
infra-apical setulose mucro O.7-1 mm long; anther connectives 
not ac ig 7 not or barely (0.1 mm) prolonged. Recent 


Venezuelan parmek 75362, Bernardi 2662, Steyermark 90258 
all Edo. Bolfvar), Colombian (McDaniel 11420 Depto. Amazonas 


and Peruvian (Killip & Smith 2 Loreto) collections agree 
with the Martius collection from ' o dos Miranhas, Rio Negro 


in regione Japurensi." Cogniaux thought that C. epibaterium Ic. 
var. parvifolia Cogn. might prove to be a distinct species 
rather than a foliar variant; however an isotype (Spruce 2239, 
NY) shows flowers exactly like those of Steyermark 75362. 
Placement of this species in Clidemia is perhaps problematic 
and Ossaea duckeana Hoehne is probably synonymous; similar 
petals also are found in Ossaea boliyiensis (Cogn.) Gleason, 
as well as Leandra aristigera (Naud.) Cogn. Certainly Maguire 
23228, distributed as O. duckeana, is conspecific with C. 
epibaterium, the US sheet of this Kaieteur Plateau collection 
however having larger leaves and inflorescences than usual.

1942. 

As previously alluded (Phytologia 19: 194. 1969), the 
correct synonymy for the two Costa Rican species of Clidemia 
requires adjustment. I have since seen the holotypes of both 
Cogniaux' and Suessenguth's species (Pittier 207-BR and Kupper 
Tl2-M, respectively) and have confirmed that the reshuffling 
above cited is correct and not that suggested earlier (Fieldiana 
Bot. 29: 556. 1963). Also examined for C. globuliflora were 
two specimens of Pittier 3 (G-BOISS), which have the same 
locality and collection date as Pittier 207 and are probably 
the same gathering (see DC. Mon. Phan. 7: 1192. 1891; Macbride

as C. naeyula (Naud.) Triana sensu Cogniaux and Gleason 
(Brittonia 1: 165. 1932), having a dense cauline pubescence of 
only gland-tipped hairs less than 1 mm long. One syntype 
(Ferreira 8. n., P, Macbride photograph 36347, cited by Naudin 
as collected by Bonpland) conforms to the Cogniaux-Gleason 
criteria for C. naevula; however, another syntype, Schomburgk 
41/72 (P), showing a Naudin dissection sketch, has the longer 
eglandular hairs characteristic of typical C. japurensis. I é 
doubt that typical C. japurensis was collected on the Rio Japura, 
the Martius specimen (despite the holotype label) probably 
being from the lowermost Amazon. The typical variety is known 
by many collections only from eastern Venezuela and Brazil 
(Para), var. heterobasis from Amazonian Colombia and Peru to 
British Guiana (also in Nicaragua and Costa Rica). A note on 
these complexities was published earlier in Mem. N. Y. Bot. 
Gard. 10(5): 182. 1964.

Examination of the holotype (Gay s. n., P; Macbride photo- 
graph 36318) has shown lance-oblong petals with a rounded apex 
and a single infra-apical setula 0.5 mm long. In both vegeta- 
tive and reproductive features, the relations are with C. 
bernardii Wurdack and its allies (Phytologia 19: 196-197. 
1969). Of these relatives, the closest seems to be C. 
piperifolia Gleason, the Peruvian species differing in the 
bulla setulae of the upper leaf surfaces 0.8-1 mm long (rather 
than 0.2 mm), the cauline and petiolar hairs ca. 1.8 m long 
(rather than 0.6-1 mm), and the ovary apex glabrous (rather than 
moderately fine-setulose). As in Leandra aristigera (Naud.) 
Cogn., Gay*s specimen surely did not come from "environs de 
Lima", but probably Depto. Cuzco. 


HENRIETTELLA SEEMANNIIT Naudin 

H. hispidula Cogn., Bot. Jahrb. 8: 30. 1887. 

Examination of the holotype (P) and isosyntypes (US) of 
both species revealed no differences, the slight leaf shape gap 
easily bridged in recent Central American collections. The 
typical element of the species ranges from Costa Rica and 
Panama to Colombia (Antioquia, El Valle, Cauca), collections 
from elsewhere in Colombia and Ecuador being at least sub- 
specifically distinct. Henriettella goudotiana Naud. is closely 
related to H. seemannii but differs in the more obvious stellate 
bases of the foliar hairs, shorter (averaging 0.4-0.6 mm rather 
than ca. 1.3 mm) simple tips of the stellate-based hypanthial 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Mélastomataceis 127 


hairs, and shorter (ca. 2 mm long dry, rather than ca. 2.5 m) 
anthers with broader (equalling the anther width) pores; the 
petals of both species are puberulent externally. Recent 
collections of H. goudotiana comparable with the holotype (P) 
and isotype (r1) are Garcia-Barriga 11704 (Cundinamarca) and 
Little 7313 (Huile).

None of Ule's criteria for distinction are applicable, as 
may be seen in the ample series from both north and south of 
the Amazon (the latter chiefly collected by Irwin and his 
colleagues). Gleason had already published the synonymization 
of H. micrantha (Mem. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 8: 143. 1953). The 
species ranges from eastern Colombia (Meta, Vichada) and 
Venezuela (Bolfvar, Amazonas) to Brazil (Roraima, Para, 
Maranhao, Goias, and Mato Grosso). It is closely related to 
H. patrisiana (DC.) Naud. (which has calyx lobes strigulose 
within, shorter hypanthial pubescence, and rostrate anthers ) 
and H. seemannii Naud. (with 3-nerved rather than 5-nerved leaf 
blades, generally less appressed cauline pubescence, and rather 
persistent foliar hairs).

Qssaea angustifolia, endemic to southeastern Brazil, has 
eglandular pubescence, narrower 3-plinerved leaf blades, 
interior calyx lobes 0.3 mm long, and 4-celled ovaries. Cer- 
tainly O. mavacana is an anomalous species, disparate within a 
heterogenous "genus" and with no obvious close relative. The 
glandular tips on the trichomes are tiny and inconspicuous, 
much smaller than those in Clidemia involucrata DC. (which 
somewhat resembles 0. mavacana in vegetative aspect, but not in 
floral structure).

The holotype of Melastoma quinqueneryia (BM; Bailey 
Hortorium photograph 5192) is quite compatible with more recent 
collections of 0. diversifolia, a good match (except for the 
somewhat larger leaves) being H. H. Smith 4 (Santa Marta, 
Colombia). The Miller type shows upper leaf surface hairs 
rather sparse and ca. 1.5 mm long, hypanthia furfuraceous but 
not setulose, and calyx lobes with a few setulae. ‘The commonly 
applied binomial for this species, Q. diversifolia, is thus a 
synonym. From some herbarium notes of E. P. Killip, it seems 
perhaps doubtful that Clidemia cyanocarpa Benth. should be 
included in the synonymy of O. nervia and that comparison 
is needed with C. purpurea D. Don (and probably C. haughtii 
Wurdack) ; however, the Barclay type has not been examined by me. 


BLAKEA QUADRANGULARIS Triana 

B. sphaerica Gleason, Phytologia 3: 358. 1950. 

The holotype (Triana 4110, BM) from Antioquia represents a 
young sharply quadrate branchlet with intact peduncle; the 
separate young fruit in the packet show the large bracts (outer 
22 X 22 mm; inner 23 X 10 mm) and nearly truncate (the sepalar 
apiculums to 2 mm long) calyx limb. Most recent material does 
not show elongated internodes, the very young branchlets being 
quadrate but becoming indistinctly quadrangular with age. 
Evidently Lehmann 7223 (Macbride photograph 17297), distributed 
under an unpublished Cogniaux name, is also B. quadrangularis; 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 129 


also there are several additional recent collections from 
Antioquia. 

Blakea guadrangularis was one of Triana's "lost" species, 
known to Cogniaux and Gleason only from the original descrip- 
tion. ‘Triana's personal herbarium of 8,000 specimens was sold 
by his widow to the British Museum (Natural History), the 
purchase for 240 pounds being authorized on Feb. 26, 1891; thus 
Cogniaux apparently never saw this collection. Through the 
courtesy of Mr. Marshall and Mr. Cannon, a xerox copy of the 
melastomes entered in Triana's herbarium book was obtained. 
Triana evidently did not give field numbers to his specimens, 
put later arranged them in Endlicher-genus order and then 
assigned collection numbers; thus the Melastomataceae are in 
Endlicher genera 6169-6261, the specimens numbered 3847-4114 
(with 4099-4114 a postscript miscellany). Triana's notes also 
include the species name, locality and elevation of collection, 
and number of duplicates. Unfortunately the Endlicher numbers 
alone are often cited as Triana's collection numbers. Triana 
also numbered his collections within each genus, starting with 
1; thus the collection number of Topobea subscaberula could be 
cited as 4084 or 6261.5; Cuatrecasas has done such citation 
from the Bogota set of Triana specimens. For the Melastomata- 
ceae, the London specimens of Triana's collections have been 
regarded by me as the holotypes for those species described by 
Triana from his own gatherings (but not necessarily for Triana 
species based on material of other collectors); many specimens 
not found in other herbaria (COL, K, P, W) are in this set.

Narifo, Colombia, elev. 1250 m, 17 Oct. 1969, "Scandent shrub 
to 10 m, cauliflorous; petals 6, white.” 

Of the described species of Topobea, T. brenesii Standl., 
T. cordata Gleason, and T. elliptica Gleason (all from Central 
America) have sessile leaves ,» but differ otherwise widely. 
Certainly T. mortoniana is not closely related to 7. sessilifolia 
Triana, the holotype (BM) of which has sharply quadrangular 
branches, lance-oblong leaves 4-6 cm wide with secondary nerves 
only 1 mm apart, and solitary (fide Triana) flowers on peduncles 
4-6 cm long with capitellate stigmas. Topobea setosa Triana 
has leaf blades of about the same shape as those of IT. 
mortoniana, with secondary veins wide-spaced, but shows well- 
developed petioles, leaf blades discolorous-puberulous beneath, 
and much larger solitary or few-fasciculate flowers with stout- 
setose bracts and calyx lobes. C. V. Morton for a decade has 
amiably monitored and adjusted my descriptions, nomenclature, 
and bibliographic problems in neotropical research; two 
generations of tropical students have benefited from his own 
extensive publications and anonymous courtesy. Thus it is 
appropriate that a current botanist follow Standley's 1938 
example (Clidemia mortoniana) in the Melastomataceae.

sance to the Twentieth Century by Alice M. Coats, 00 pp.,

In the foreword Miss Coats describes the "average" horticul- 
tural collector as one well schooled and skilled in botany, 
gardening and some other sciences such as medicine, surveying, 
etc. "He had to be adaptable and able to get on with natives, 
and his life often depended on his being a good shot and fisher- 
man. He had also to have great tenacity and endurance, the con- 
ditions of travel being often such that only curiosity, the 
greatest human motive-power next to love and hunger, could enable 
him to support them. It follows that the successful collectors 
were very remarkable men, and their lives and characters well 
worth recording." And they are recorded well! 

This fascinating book describes these collectors, their col- 
lections and their itineraries in chronological order in each of 
different areas of the globe in the order in which they were ex- 
plored — the Mediterranean and Near East, northern Europe, Asia, 
the Antipodes, Africa, North America and finally South America. 

It is almost unfair to single out a few of these hunters for 
special mention, as, for instance, Forsyth who went disguised as an 
Oriental in China, Wilson who did not do so but always had a sedan 
chair toted as an essential for prestige even if dismantled, and 
Hove who found himself being presented to an Indian rajah following 
a night during which rats with no tonsorial skill chewed off much 
of his pomaded hair. 

There are other assets in this book such as neat print except 
for two letter inversions on p. 155, several fine photographs of 
explorers and maps, a carefully prepared bibliography, a list of 
the illustrations, indices of collectors and of almost a thousand 
plants mentioned, and an epilogue evaluating the future of plant 
collecting,

ding the printed introductory pages, the book is produced by a 
photo-offset process which permits more prompt publication. Even 
an useful index is included, although with the "F" references out 
of place. All the papers are in English which is often expressed 
awkwardly and too often misspelled, as, for instance, indepen- 
dence on p. xii, aging on p. 27, apparent on p. 147, attended on 
p. 289, etc. A careful proof-reading was obviously not done. 
Some diagrams are far from helpful; several electron micrographs 
in different articles are quite well reproduced and valuable as 
new material. 

Besides an introduction and a concluding remarks paper by 
Brachet there are 16 papers that deal with the nucleo-cytoplasmic 
relationships in growth and differentiation, biochemistry, ultra- 
structures, circadian clocks, light and radiation effects, photo- 
synthesis,and autonomy of mitochondria and of chloroplasts as 
carried on by the fascinating umbrella-shaped giant chlorophyte 
growing in shallow warm coastal waters. 

This work will surely have appeal to almost all biologists, 
biology students and biology teachers on all levels. 


"A MANUAL OF PLANT NAMES" by C. Chicheley Plowden, 260 pp., il- 
lus, Philosophical Library, New York, N. Y. 10016. 1970. 
$10.00. 


This book succeeds in its well known horticulturist-writer's 
aim of collating in handbook size a treasure-house of informa- 
tion for gardeners, horticulturists, botanists and plantsmen. 

After an introduction to the history of the naming of plants 
and to the nature of the Botanical Code, there are introductory 
explanations to each of the following: generic and specific 
names with translations from the Latin, common names of horticul- 
tural and other economic plants with botanical equivalents, bo- 
tanical terms defined, illustrated flower and leaf gross struc- 
ture, and the "plant system" with notes on families and genera of 
special importance or interest. At the end there is an index of 
botanical and common family names. 

On p. 247 the Verbenaceae is limited to 65 genera and 750 spe- 
cies, when actually in its most restricted sense it contains 7) 
genera and about 331 valid species and scientifically named sub- 
specific taxa. Tectona, a genus of considerable economic impor- 
tance, is not mentioned. Clerodendrum is correctly spelled on 
this page, but not so on p. hl.

This is the best textbook in this field that I have perused: 
best because of its careful and readily comprehensible explana- 
tions of scientific principles involved in all of the host- 
parasite or pathogenic plant-environment situations, best bevause 
of many illustrations of high educational value. 


1971 Moldenke, Book reviews 133 


The author's preface describes well the contents of this text: 
"The first part of the book deals with general considerations of 
disease, the disease cycle, parasitism and pathogenicity, and the 
variability in pathogens. This is followed by a presentation of 
the mechanisms by which pathogens cause disease and the mechan- 
isms by which plants resist disease. Considerable space is devo- 
ted to a biochemical discussion of the effects of pathogen- 
produced enzymes, toxins, growth regulators, and polysaccharides 
on.the structural organization and on the basic physiological 
processes of photosynthesis, translocation, and respiration, as 
well as to a biochemical discussion of the defense mechanisms of 
the plant. Finally, discussions are included on the genetics of 
host-parasite interaction, effects of environment on disease de- 
velopment and control. 

"The second part of the book deals with the infectious diseases 
caused by fungi, bacteria, parasitic higher plants, viruses, and 
nematodes and with the noninfectious diseases caused by environ- 
mental factors. The diseases caused by each type of pathogen are 
discussed comprehensively as a group and are subsequently discussed 
individually in detail. Diagrams of cycles for each disease are 
included to help the student create visual images for the better 
and longer-lasting understanding of the disease." 

Perhaps many interested readers, students, teachers and 
scholars from the broader fields of botany and biology are not a- 
ware of how common a phenomenon parasitism of cultivated crops is. 
"In North America, for example, some 8,000 species of fungi cause 
approximately 80,000 diseases, and at least 180 species of bac- 
teria, more than 500 different viruses, and over 500 species of 
nematodes attack crops." 

The print makes reading facile even though the letters in 
"haustorium" are jumbled on p. 591 but correctly given in the text 
and index. 

Selected bibliographies accompany the chapters. 

Glossary definitions should have been limited to such terms 
"as used in this text" because terms like "spicule", "ostiole", 
etc. have additional bidlogical meanings.

valuable papers are presented by recognized research workers from

Most of the papers are in English; summaries are given in an- 
other language. Each author provides a bibliography, but lamen- 
tably there is no general index. 

The modern work on the nature of the chemo-electro-physiologi- 
wal and behavioral mechanisms used by phytophagous insects to 
recognize secondary substances and the nutrients in their host 
plants is particularly well developed and needed. 

This book will be important not only for entomologists, but al- 
so for ecologists, botanists, certain ethologists, certain physio- 
logists and biology students. 

The print is clear and easily readable. On p. 735 the specific 
epithet Sativus is misspelled.

poration, New York, N. Y. 10003. 1969. $27.50. 


This book has been and remains an important influential "land 
mark" in the development of botany. Therefore it is good, in- 
deed, to have it available again for school, university and per- 
sonal libraries, even if at a fantastically high price. [It is an 
abbreviation of the important "Grundziige der wissenschaftlichen 
Botanik". 

The work is definitely enhanced by an analytical introduction 
by Dr. Jacob Lorch of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He gives 
biographic material concerning this brilliant and often offensively 
egotistical author, as well as appraisals of the famous flower 
embryo studies, of the botanical end of the cell theory, and of 
the epoch-making "Grundzitige" made so by "the novel emphasis, as 
well as the fluent and very readable language which exuded a tru- 
ly contaminating enthusiasm for the scientia amabilis.....His 
profound influence on botanical research as well as on the teach- 
ing of botany is felt to this day, when studies of the cell enjoy 
a new peak of interest which was inaugurated by Schleiden, with 
rare insight, more than 120 years ago." 

Unlike texts of today, the same illustrations are repeated 
for different illustrative needs.

What a beautiful, interesting and valuable book! It is par- 
ticularly pertinent because of today's growing interest in the 
nature and préservation of our ecosphere. It is the work of two 
"seasoned" biologist—naturalists who have written often and well. 
It is embellished by 208 exquisite illustrations, 82 in full 
color, the work of many well known nature photographers including 


1971 Moldenke, Book reviews 135 


the authors themselves. 

After a description of our dynamic earth, its evolution and of 
its mobile diversified life, the authors give living portraits of 
the main biogeographical areas searching for historical patterns 
that have been building for at least 300 million years. So much 
material is presented about so many different living creatures 
without producing the feeling of cramming but needing the not 
quite complete index of plants and animals with over 1600 entries. 
The last chapter entitled "The Spread of the Cultured Primate" is 
an impressive appraisal of man's effect upon his environment. 

There is no bibliography,yprobably because the book is directed 
to general readership and because if complete it would have to be 
immense. 

The Chanticleer Press is to be congratulated upon producing 
this excellent work. Even so a few tiny errors slipped through, 
as, for instance, the misspelling of Epidendrum on p. 79 and the 
use of "most unique" on p. 167.

The intention of the editor to offer enrichment, more detailed

with about only a half of the selections. lany are just "text 
book" or insignificant. The excerpts from the following authors 
particularly pleased this reviewer: Darwin, Percival, Iltis, 
Beadle, Dobzhansky, Becker, Hardin, and Hamburgh. 

Several words were carelessly misspelled in the text, as lu- 
ciferin on p. 51, average on p. 69, photosynthesis on p. 87, 
known on p. 143, schistosomiasis on p. 210, experimental on p. 
291, and Cretaceous on p. 36. 

Many different journals and books were used as source mater- 
jal.

This is a very attractive and valuable start to what is hoped 
will become a complete survey of the island. Herein 72 genera in 
2 families have their cultivated species described with common 
names, etymology, geographic distribution, literature references 
and propagation notes added. On the facing page for each species 
there are beautiful and accurate drawings executed by the talented 
wife of the author. 

What is called Citharexylum quadrangulare is better identified 


as C. spinosun.

ver, edited by Harry E. Ahles, xxviii & 132 pp., University 
of Massachusetts Press, Amherst, Mass. 01003. 1968. $6.50. 


Nantucket island, off the Rhode Island coast, was to the 
author a vacation and a botanical paradise isle which he visited 
19 times, collecting a herbarium there of 1,089 specimens with 
610 species and subspecific units in 100 families, with 1) of 
them native and 196 introduced, and with several as new records. 

The editor in his foreword writes: "With much research, he 
([MacKeever] also brought together the material presented by pre- 
vious workers, correlating their nomenclature with that of the 
present day. At the time of his death, he had all but completed 
his work......1t is my hope that this catalogue, which represents 
a significant contribution to botanical science, may also prove a 
fitting memorial to a fine botanist." Through the efforts of 
both the author and the editor it certainly is! 

This catalogue is enriched with interesting comments, copious 
cross references and a full index. 


“AN INTRODUCTION TO PLANT DISEASES" by B. E. J. Wheeler, ix & 37h 
pp., illus., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., London, Sydney, Toron- 


This very carefully prepared text is planned for a beginning 
course in plant pathology by an author-teacher of considerable re- 
nown, especially in the British Isles. The chapters cover the 
following topics: concepts of plant pathology, damping-off and 
seedling blights, root and foot rots, wilts, downy and powdery 
mildews, rusts, smuts, blight, anthracnose, leaf spots and curl, 
witches' broom and club-root, galls, cankers and scab, mosaics 
and yellows, postharvest diseases, disease assessment, and 
disease control methods. The work is well illustrated, well ex- 
plained and well documented with literature references. 

This book will inevitably be compared with the new Agrios' 
text (and vice versa) produced in the United States. Each is 
highly meritorious, with the Agrios' text having greater empha- 
sis on biological principles and having more attractive format 
and reading style.

A LIST OF JAMAICAN SPECI#&S OF CYNANCHUM (ASCLE?IADACEAE) 
William T. 3tearn British Museum (Natural History) 


3ince its establishment by Linnaeus in the Species 
2lantarum 1:212 1753, Genera Plantarum, 5th ed. 101. 
1754, the genus Cynanchum has been variously defined. 
Linnaeus included within it five species, of which two, 
i.e. C. acutum and the apparently conspecific C. monspel- 
iacum, have been retained in Cynanchum by all subsequent 
authors; two, i.e. C. suberosum and C. hirtum, have been 
transferred to Gonolobus and one, i.e. C. erectum, to 
Marsdenia. Cynanchum acutum, a European species, can 
thus be reasonably accepted as the lectotype and was so 
designated by Britton and Brown, Illustr. Fl. N.U.S. 

2nd ed, 3:36. 1913 and by Hitchcock and Green in Nom. 
Prop. Brit. Bot. 136. 1929. In 1941, when surveying 

the North American genera of Asclepiadaceae, Woodson in 
Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 28: 208-215. 191 redefined 
Cynanchum so as to include in it many groups which on 
mostly rather subtle differences had hitherto been 
maintained as separate genera, among them Ampelamus, 
Decastelma, Mellichampia, Metalepis, Rouliniella, 
Tainionema and Tylodontia. ‘The last general survey of 
the West Indian species of this group was by Schlechter 
in Urban's Symbolae Antillanae 1: 236-290. 1899. 
Woodson's view of generic delimitation here being 

now generally accepted, it seems desirable to publish a 
list of the Jamaican species to be included in volume 6 
of Fawcett and Rendle's Flora of Jamaica.

RUMEX OF HAWAIT 


Otto & Isa Degener 


In 1811 appeared the second edition of William Townsend Aiton's 
"Hortus Kewensis; or, A Catalogue of The Plants Cultivated in The 
Royal Botanic Garden at Kew." Aiton, as the title page mentions, 
was "GARDENER TO HIS MAJESTY." On page 323 he describes, as new, 
Rumex giganteus, calling it "Tall Dock," He adds that it was na- 
tive “of the Sandwich Islands. Mr. David Nelson.” Furthermore, 
the next line states that it had been introduced in "1796, by Ar- 
chibald Menzies, Esqe" 


David Nelson was Captain James Cook's botanist, while Archi- 
bald Menzies was Captain George Vancouver's. Automatically, with- 
out much thought, we would have considered a Nelson sheet deposited 
at the British Museum (Natural History) as the lectotype for the 
species SeSe We maintain, however, that the lectotype should be a 
sheet at Kew labelled "R. giganteus Ait. H. Kew. Rumex 40 feet 
highe Climber, Sandwich Isles, AeM., C68." The initials evidently 
refer to Archibald Menzies. As Aiton was listing and describing 
the plants growing in the gardens of Kew, he evidently grew the 
giant Rumex from seed introduced by Menzies about fifteen years 
before the catalogue went to preSSe 


According to Skottsberg in Acta Horti Gotob,2:225. 1926, speci- 
men C68 "has leaves with margin and veins pilose, and so is the 
stem o” 


In conclusion, after receiving bibliographic and herbarium aid 
from Messrs, Peter Green, Edgar Milne-Redhead, John F. Reed, Georg 
M. Schultze and William T. Stearn, we believe at least two main 
taxa of Rumex giganteus grew (and still survive) in the rainforest 
mauka of the Kealakekua area, Island of Hawaii, a rainforest that 
has retreated inland during the past 200 years’ attack by Caucasian 
and Oriental animal and plant invaders: 

1. Re. giganteus Ait. var. giganteus. A somewhat pilose plant. Type: 
C68 in herb. British Museum. Though the endemic flora is being rap= 
idly exterminated, we are gratified to haye found a liana approach- 
ing the type. It is Degeners & L.W. Bryan 32,457. Kahuamoa, South 
Konae Hawaii. Rainforest at 3,250 feet. May 29, 1969- 

2. Re giganteus Ait. var. nelsonii Deg. & Dege, vars nove Planta 
glabra. Unlike the previous variety, this one is glabrous. The 

type we consider to be the specimen deposited in the British Muse- 
um under the legend "Rumex giganteus, ‘Sandwich Islands, Dav. Nel- 
sone'™ During the past two years we have collected this variety, 
the less rare of the two, in the rainforest from Kulani around the 
southwestern slope of Mauna Loa to Hualalai. If the historical Nel- 
son plant for any reason cannot be the type, the lectotype would be

"Degeners & Piccos 32,456. Mauna Loa Boys’ School, Hawaii. Sprawl- 
ing tangle in clearing at 5,700 feet. Aug. 10, 1968." A rooted 
sheet of this liana (renumbered 32,443 and harvested July 26, 1970-) 


was planted in the writers’ garden at Volcano, Hawaii, next to Re 
skottsbergii, as described below. Degeners & Piccos 32,458 collect= 
ed Auge 15, 1970 “at 2,500 feet, Punaluu mauka, Kau, Hawaii”, is 
not particularly outstanding because it has a faint tendency to be- 
ing glabrate; but because it completely fills with its scrambling, 
overlapping branches, to the exclusion of other plants, a small 
gulch. Cranwell, Selling & Skottsberg 3,108 is an Island of Hawaii 
specimen with typical’inflorescence, but otherwise a bit strange. 
It is from the ancient, deeply eroded and somewhat isolated "Ko- 
hala Mts., Upper Hamakua ditch trail. 9/17/38." 


It is disconcerting, as Skottsberg has indicated for the local 
taxa of the genus on pages 223-228 and elsewhere, that our species 
are not clear-cut Linnean onese Depending on the limited informa- 
tion available to us, we recognize also:

Rumex Skottsbergii sp. nove Frutex erectus, 7 - 10 dm. altus; folia 
ampla elliptica; inflorescentia flavo-viridis. (We believe an il- 
lustration is more an "international language" than Latin and should 
he permitted to substitute for > ™-+in diagnosis.) 


Erect 7 - 10 dm. tall entirely glabrous shrub with many stiffly 
erect slightly zigzag twiggy longitudinally grooved stems arising from 
compact rootstalk bearing thick yellowish taproots. Leaves pale 
green fading yellow: most blades 10 X 4.5 cme, oval with acute apex 
but toward inflorescence gradually smaller and more ovate= to ob- 
ovate-elliptic with somewhat cuspidate apex, thick, entire or near= 
ly so and never crisped, with acute to acuminate base; petioles 
slender, somewhat shorter than lower blades and often longer than 
upper blades; ocrea thin, castaneouse Flowers extremely numerous, 
yellowish green, imperfectly dioecious with staminate and pistil- 
late flowers at times in same fascicle, subtended by minute per-=- 
sistent scarious ocreae: pedicels 3 - 5 mm. long, filiform except 
for thickened top, persistent in fruit; inflorescence stiffly e- 
rect, compact, enlarging in fruit to become usually broad-conical 
and 10 - 20 cme wide. Pistillate flower: outer sepals concave, oval- 
cuneate to obovate, with obtuse apex, faintly nerved, almost 1.5 mme 
long, spreading at anthesis; inner sepals longitudinally recurved 
to facilitate lateral extrusion of the longer stigmatic branches, 
ovate with subtruncate base and usually retuse apex, 3 mm. long and 
almost 2 mm. wide, erect at anthesis, with veins and especially 
midrib prominent. Ovary 1 mm. long, ellipsoid-trigonous with sharp 
angles, short-stipitate; styles filiform, each acutely widening in- 
to white-translucent broadly fan-shaped stigma irregularly twice 
and thrice fringed to form about 40 ultimate flat branches. Stam- 
inate flower: sepals concave, obovate with obtuse apex, faintly 
nerved, grading from about 1 mme long for outermost to 2 mm. long 
for innermost, suberect; filaments filiform; anthers pale yellow, 
exserted, obovoid, 1.5 mme long, emarginate at base and deeply nar- 
rowly cordate at apex; aborted ovary 0-5 mm. long, with spreading 
flat truncate stigmas each half as longe Fruit yellowish green rip- 
ening castaneous; outer sepals reflexed, marcescent, not enlarged; 
inner sepals erect to closely invest nutlet, 4 - 6 mm. long, un- 
dulate to somewhat erose-dentate, obtuse to retuse at apex, broadly 
cordate at base, conspicuously net-veined except for open margin, 
with midrib prominent without but sulcate withins nutlet shiny, ob-= 
ovoid, deeply trigonous, 2.5 mme long, obtuse to a minute truncate 
stalk at base, somewhat beaked. 

Type Locality: D,geners & Piccos 32,453. On 1907 Lava Flow, Kau,

types widely distributed. 

Local Ranges At present we know this species complex is native to 
Hawaii, where it is common on the ash and aa flows from about Kilau- 
ea and Kilauea Iki Craters through the aalii, ohia lehua and ukiuki 
pahoehoe flows of the Kau Desert up the Southwest Rift Zone of Mauna 
Loa and thence northward into Kona until stopped by forests. It 
grows from about 2,000 to 7,000 feet elevation. It is strictly a 


1971 Degener, Rumex of Hawaii 143 


pioneer, springing up like a weed in bulldozed aa lava. The roots of 
the seedling apparently rush during the rainy season to reach moist 


depths for the plant's establishment before advent of the dry sea- 
son. This common erect xerophyte has been mistaken for the gigantic 


liana R. giganteus with loose, brilliantly red inflorescence first 
collected by Nelson, presumably mauka of Kealakekua in the rain- 


forest. After growing the erect shrub (like Degeners & Piccos 

32,453) and the liana (Deg. & Dege 32,443, Degeners & Piccos 32 456) 
next to each other for several years at 3,800 feet elevation in our 
Volcano, Hawaii, garden and noting that both taxa retained their spe- 
cific characters over several years, we confidently consider R. 
skottsbergii specifically distinct. In addition to the Island of 
Hawaii, we suspect this species in several inferior taxa, to be on 
Maui and Nihoa as explained belowe 


"Rumex of Hawaii™ concentrates on the genus as it occurs on the 
"Big Island." We here add some of our observations of, and surmises 
about, Rumex on the smaller islands as wello 


Few readers realize that the Hawaiian Archipelago is close to 
2,000 miles long, extending from the northwestern Kure and Midway 
Tslands via such reefs, shoals and islets as Hermes, Laysan and 
Necker to massive Maui and Hawaii. The northwestern islands, first 
formed, were once of considerable size and elevation, and have since 
been mostly peneplaned to ocean levele When the island primordia be- 
gan forming on the ocean floor is debatablee But an indication of 
how old such islands may be is shown by the find of fossils of Mio- 
cene Age = roughly 25,000,000 years ago = in core samples from Mid= 
waye These islands were certainly covered with jungle vegetation - 
now gone = when high enough to form and intercept raincloudse The 
southeastern islands are generally younger, still of considerable 
sige and elevation, and clothed with endemics until present inter- 
ference by mano 


As the crow flies, the Island of Hawaii is less than thirty 
miles distant from the Island of Maui, separated by the 6,000 foot 
deep Alenuihaha Channele The possibility that these two islands have 
ever been connected by a land bridge is extremely unlikely. Yet we 
find that on Maui occur at least two taxa resembling the R. gigante- 
us and R. skottsbergii complexeseThe former is more or less repre- 
sented by two sheets, namely le) Forbes 1050M, "Keaenae [Keanaé} Gap, 
Halehaku. Crater of Haleakala," East Maui, Auge 3, 1919. It bears a 
typical diffuse inflorescence. The area, as we know personally, is a 
dense, rainy jungle. 2.) GeRo Ewart III & G.C. Munro 63. "W. Maui, 
Honokowai valley, Amalu branch, valley bottom, alte 2500 fte Dece 21, 
1928." This bears a typical diffuse inflorescenceo 


On the other hand, the members of the Ro skottsbergii complex are 
le) CoN. Forbes 1067M. Crater of Haleakala, Maui. Aug. 6, 1919. It 
bears a compact, erect inflorescence. 2.) James Henrickson 3878. 
Haleakala Crater. In cindery s0il, base of sliding sands. July 15, 
1969. It has a compact inflorescence: but the plant is said to be a

seven foot high shrub, which is several feet taller than typical Re 
skottsbergii as we know it in and about Kilauea on the Island of Ha-= 
waiie It appears to have red flowers a feature, if true, being more 


typical of R. giganteuse 


Even without special adaptaions for flotation or for transport by 
animals, these native species of Rumex evidently traversed Alenuihaha 


Channel separating Hawaii and Maui, if they did not come from some 
third island such as Nihoa. 


Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai and Molokai in past ages were once a single 
island, before that time and after having been variously separated by 
narrow channels. These now have an average depth of not more than 
about 600 feet. Here Rumex need not have crossed any water to reach, 
for instance, from Maui to Molokai from which latter island Hille= 
brand reported "R. giganteus." He further states that the native name 
on Hawaii is pawale and on Molokai, uhauhakoo 


Uninhabited.Nihoa, 400 to 500 miles west of Maui where some taxa 
of Re skottsbergii grow, has 895 foot high Miller's Peak and 852 foot 
high Tanager Peak. These two are the opposite rims of a large eroded 
crater. What plants clothed this high land in ages past? Was one of 
them a Rumex? In what we call the Marie C. Neal Herbarium of the Ber= 
nice Pauahi Museum are three sheets. They certainly belong, with 
their erect, compact, apparently green inflorescences, to the Ro 
skottsbergii complex. Due to their condition, however, we are not pre- 
pared to state to which inferior taxon they may belong. They are 1.) 
E.L. Caum 71. Alt. 300. Height £30 cm. "Shelves & holes in cliff newe 
near summit peak." June 18, 1923. 2.) E» Christophersen. "Nihoa, 
cliff under Miller's Peak, Ne side, el. 250 - 300 meters.” July 10, 
1924. 3.) D. Yen 1015. "Devil's Slide, near Miller Peak. 600 ft. alt. 
May 1969." 


It is intriguing to speculate whether the Nihoa Rumex is not a mem- 
ber of a very small relict flora, representing the genus which gradu- 
ally disseminated eastward from the old, eroded islands to the new, 
now major, islands of the Hawaiian chaine 


This is not all. We must yet consider Rumex on the islands of Oahu 
and Kauai. Oahu is separated from Molokai by the 2,300 foot deep and 
30 mile wide Kaiwi Channel, and from Kauai by the 6,000 foot deep and 
80 mile wide Kaieie Waho Channel. Formerly, Oahu consisted of two sep- 
arate islands, the eastern one now dominated by the Koolau Range and 
the western one dominated by the Waianae Range. We know the Koolaus 
are more recent as well borings have shown that their lava flows over- 
lie those of the Waianaes. No one has ever reported a native Rumex 
from the Koolaus, but along the precipitous sunny summit cliffs, 
ledges and slopes of the Waianaes grows the 5 - 8 cm. tall Re al- 
bescens Hillebre It is an herb, rather than a shrub, with leaves 
crisped and erose=denticulate. Skottsberg, perhaps depending too 
much on herbarium material, had some difficulty in distinguishing 
this species from Hawaii plants; while our observations in the field

convince us of the correctness of ‘Hillebrand's finding. Though not 
known from the Koolau Range of Oahu, this taxon, perhaps in several 
varieties and forms, appears on the Island of Kauail It is signifi- 
cant that Skottsberg, mentioning Chromosome Numbers in Hawaiian 
Flowering Plants (Ark. f. Bote, Stockholm) 64. 1953, lists 36 as 
the 2N for a Kauai plant and 54 or 56 for plant 6,828 from Hawaiie 


The more we become familiar with native taxa, the more do we real- 
ize how complicated the flora of the Hawaiian Islands is; Rumex is 
just one example. Although one of us has observed and collected the 
native taxa since 1922, we have solved just a few puzzles and drawn 
attention to many, many more. The new generation of botanists should 
concentrate on collecting more and better material, growing seeds 
under controlled conditions, making additional chromosome counts, and 
using newer and preciser methods unknown to workers of the paste The 
present fad to engage in a wealth of costly ecological experiments 
and studies without first untangling the taxonomy of our flora is 
placing the cart before the horse.

Uphof (1968) retains P. poeppigii Schau. as a distinct spe- 
cies (surely it deserves no more than varietal or form status}) 
and accredits it to "Scheuer". He records the vernacular vari- 
ant name "capa blanco" for the species and tells us that its wood 
is light-brown to medium-brown, often variegated, with fine 
straight to somewhat wavy grain, medium to high luster, very 
hard, heavy, tough, and strong, it air-seasons rapidly, is easy 
to work, moderately resistant to dry-wood termites, fairly durable 
when in contact with the soil, and is recommended for furniture, 
cabinet-making, turned articles, novelty items, interior paneling, 
rollers in coffee-hulling mills, carts, posts, poles, piling, and 
props. Of what he calls P. poeppigii he says "Tree. West Indies. 
Wood strong, palisander |=Dalbergia]-colored; used for navy con- 
struction". Kribs (1968) records the additional vernacular names 
"fiddlewood", "guayo prieto", "roble guayo", "capa de sabanna", 
"bois d'sortie", "chene calle bassie", and "capa wood" —- the last 
being its commercial name. He describes the wood in detail as 
"Color light yellowish brown with darker brown streaks and satiny 
luster; appears waxy. Odor and taste not distinct. Hard and 
heavy, sp. gr. 0.95 (air dry); weight, 59 lbs. per cu. ft. Grain 
straight to wavy or roey. Texture fine. Easly to turn and carve 
and takes a lustrous finish. Growth rings fairly distinct due to 
color zones and an increase in fiber density. Vessels barely 
visible without lens; numerous, evenly distributed to zonate, 
solitary and in radial groups of 2—-l;; tang. diam. 70u to 215u, 
av., 156u; lumina with tyloses; pits alternate, diam. 7u to 10u. 


148 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 3 


Fibers septate in part with simple pits. Parenchyma not distinct 
with lens; paratracheal scanty to vasicentric uniseriate. Rays 
barely visible without lens on the cross section; inconspicuous 
on the radial, heterogeneous type III, 1--3, mostly 2--3 cells 
wide and 10--20 cells high; lumina with very small crystals; ray- 
vessel pits oval to elongate, simple to half-bordered. Ripple 
marks absent. Gum ducts absent. Uses and source of supply fur- 
niture and cabinets, interior finish, millwork, flooring, tool 
and knife handles, rollers, posts, and turnery. West Indies." 

Arthur (1917) describes the fungus, Olivea petitiae Arth., 
while Garman (1915) describes Septoria petitiae Garman from this 
species. 

Stimson found the plant in pastures with extensive secondary 
growth and in dry scrub forests on mountainsides, describing it 
as a small tree, with red fruit in July, and called "cap4 
blanco", growing to be 20 or 30 feet tall, with a stem diameter of 
6 inches at breast height. Little says that the fruits are red. 
Gooding, Loveless, & Proctor (1965) tell us that Maycock recorded 
the species from the Barbados islands, but that there has been 
"no modern record of it" from there. Gillis 68)3 was taken from 
plants that had escaped from cultivation.

Liogier describes this plant as a shrub or tree, 2-8 m. tall, 
the branches spreading, and the flowers greenish, growing in open 
places on rocks above cliffs and in coastal thickets on dogtooth 
limestone or "uncommon in thickets near seashore on dogtooth lime—

Blair & Epps (1969) list this species as one of seven browse 
species in Louisiana and state that it is "abundant in pine- 
hardwood stands which have a relatively high canopy. It often 
dominates the lower cover in a forest clearing." Traverse de- 
scribes the plant as a shrub, 2--3 m. tall, with a base trunk 
diameter of | cm., arching and sprawling, some weakly upright, 
the stems brittle, the bark "with small warts and tubercles", 
light-brown, the "berries" [drupes] green [when immature], grow- 
ing in open woods above a backswamp, in dark-brown much-cracked 
silty soil, in the dominant complex of Fraxinus-Gleditsia- 
Liquidambar-Pinus taeda formation.

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) suggests that C. lanata Zipp., 
of Timor, may be conspecific with what he calls "C. cana", but I 
place it in the synonymy of C. pedunculata R. Br. Sprengel 
(1825) regarded C. tomentosa Willd. as a synonym of C. cana L., 
but I regard it as C. kochiana Mak., not C. nudiflora Hook. & 
Arn. as previously stated. 

Schumann & Lauterbach (1900) aver that C. candicans "ist im 
Stidasien verbreitet bis zu den Philippinen und Australien. — 
Burkill vermuthet, das C. euchlora Schauer mit ihr zusammen- 
falit." Probably this binomial is a lapsus calami for C. erio~ 
clona Schau., but since it is here first published as a possible 
synonym of C. candicans I am so regarding it — at least until I 
succeed in locating the original Burkill reference. 

The R. Parkinson s.n. [1901] and C. T. White 8981, distributed 
as C, candicans, are actually C. pedunculata R. Br.

tic to oblong-elliptic, usually rounded or obtuse, never acumin-

Mount Bavi, Sontoy Province, Tonkin, Indochina, on July 2, 19h0, 
and is deposited in the herbarium of the Arnold Arboretum at 
Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Merrill (192) comments that "In 
Dr. Dop's key this falls with Callicarpa arborea Roxb. as inter- 
preted by him, yet it differs from Roxburgh's species in so many 
striking characters, and for that matter all other Chinese and 
Indo-Malaysian species known to me, that I am constrained to de- 
scribe it as new. The very dense indumentum on the branchlets, 
parts of the inflorescences, petioles, and on the midribs and 
lateral nerves on both surfaces of the leaves is made up of short 
crowded stellate hairs and mich longer subplumose ones, the lat- 
ter often 3 mm. in length, and usually with very few, short, lat- 
eral branchlets, these lateral branchlets scarcely stellate in 
arrangement. The shorter stellate hairs on the parenchyma on the 
lower surface by no means conceal the latter, the more or less 
scattered stellate hairs on other than the midrib and lateral 
nerves scarcely touching each other."

Blume (1826) describes the following two unnamed varieties: 
"Variet a. foliis longiter acuminatis, serraturis distinctioribus, 
cymis laxis petiolo longioribus. Crescit in terris argilloso- 
calcareis. Variet b. foliis minute serrulatis glabriusculis. 
Crescit in fruticetis montanis Seribu circa Rompieu." This refer 
ence is sometimes inaccurately cited as "p. 808" instead of p. 
818. An additional recorded vernacular name for the species is 
"kajoe si marsioe-sioe". 

The Wang 35683, distributed as typical C. longifolia, appears 
to be f. floccosa Schau. instead.

Recent collectors have found this plant growing in shrub thick 
ets, secondary scrub, open bush country, often in red soil, on 
level land or strand, on slopes of grassy hillsides, along trails, 
near rivers, in the half-shade of rubber plantations, and at the 
edge of forests or thickets, at altitudes from sealevel to 1400 
meters, flowering from October to August and fruiting from Novem- 
ber to September. Thaworn refers to it as "scattered in ever—- 
green jungles" in Thailand, while Phloenchit also avers that it 
is "not common in evergreen jungles" in that land. The Clemenses 
tell us that it is a "common shrub in forests or thickets" in 
Sarawak. On Anambas Island it is said by Henderson to be a com 
mon shrub or small tree. Main found it "scattered in forests" in 
Dutch New Guinea. 

The corollas are described as "blue" on Goklin 788 and on Han- 


1326, and Nur 18835, "purplish-white" on North Borneo Forest.

The Sumatran specimens are in general more hairy than those 
from most other localities, with the pubescence less distinctly 
stellate. A wood collection accompanies H. H. Bartlett 6936 at 
the University of Michigan and R. S. Williams 2116 at the New 
York Botanical Garden. The leaves are insect-galled on Bakhuizen 
van den Brink 1903, while the fruits are galled on the same col= 
lector's no. 186. Bunnemeijer 3783 has very tomentose stems and 
bears a striking likeness to the genus Geunsia. Lam 2049 is 
placed here tentatively, since it comprises only unattached 
fruit. 

The C. lanceolaria ascribed to "Hort." belongs in the synonymy 
of typical C. longifolia Lam. H. J. Lam (191), 1919) includes C. 
albida Blume in the synonymy of his C. cana var. sumatrana (Miq.) 
H. J. Lam, a taxon now known as C. candicans var. sumatrana (Miq.) 
Moldenke. Backer & Bakhuizen van den Brink (1965), however, re- 
gard C. albida Blume as a valid species, with C. blumei Zoll. & 
Moritzi and "C. longifolia Auct. non Lamk." as synonyms. From 
this supposed synonymy and from their description it would appear 
that they are adopting this name for both what I regard as typi- 
cal C. longifolia Lam. and its f. floccosa Schau. Their composite 
description reads as follows: "Wild-growing. Drupe white; cymes 
on 1/2 —- 1 1/4 cm long peduncles, stellate-hairy, 3--7 cm across; 
calyx shortly dentate, glabrous or stellate-hairy, 1 1/h -- 1 3/h 
mm high; corolla lilac, 2 1/2 -- 3 mm high, shortly lobed; lobes 
rounded, outside glabrous or stellate-hairy; stamens lilac, 3--5 
mm; style )—-7 mm. Young branches densely to thinly stellate- 
hairy; leaves oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, acute, finely serrate- 
dentate, gland-dotted beneath or sometimes on both surfaces, when 
adult thinly stellate-hairy or glabrous on the upper surface (of- 
ten with the exception of the large nerves), stellate-hairy or 
glabrous on the lower surface, 7--18 cm by 21/2 — 61/2 a; 
petiole 3/4 — 2 cm. Shrub or small tree. 1.50--6.00; I1--X1I; 
W.C.E., Mad.; 1—1700; brushwood, light forest, village-groves. 
Variable! (C. blumei Z. & M., — C. longifolia Auct. non Lamk.)." 

Singh tells us that the plant is native to eastern Bengal and 
the Khasi Hills. Rao & Rabha (1966) record it from Assam, while 
Deb, Sengupta, & Malick (1968) found it in Bhutan, citing Sen- 
gupta 896. 

Chang (1951) maintains both C. longifolia f. floccosa and var. 
lanceolaria as valid taxa. For the former he cites nos. 28677, 
66799, & 68796 and for the latter nos. 100, 3282, 27118, 3335h, 
36332, 62267, 66029, & 71071 of collectors and/or herbaria whose 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 157 


names, unfortunately, he gives only in Chinese characters. 

Common and vernacular names recorded for C. longifolia f. floc 
cosa are “bagiha", "balah balah", "betoe-betoe", "betoe-betoe 
balab", "common callicarpa", "dotdrot", "kajoe bebetik", "kajoe 
sioe-sioe", "kapasan", "katoempang soend", "ki katoempang tanar", 
"leloya", “marbasi", "mumuni", "nasi-nasi", "paroeh", "saring 
nudat", "sasad", "si marsioe-sioe", and "sioe-sioe". 

Roxburgh (1820) describes his C. lanceolaria as "Shrubby, 
hairy. Leaves lanceolar, serrulate, acuminate. Panicles axil- 
lary, short—peduncled, sub-globular. Berries white. H. Koamoora. 
A pretty, shrubby species, with narrower leaves than any of the 
other species I have yet met in India, they taper most toward the 
base, are nearly smooth on the upper surface, but very hoary un- 
derneath; as are all the other tender parts. Flowers numerous, 
minute, purple. A native of the forests of Silhet, where it is in 
flower most part of the year." He describes "C. longifolia Linn. 
sp. pl. ed. Willd. i. 621", on the other hand, as "Shrubby with 
erect weak branches. Leaves rather long-petioled, broad-lanceo- 
late, serrulate, smooth above, downy underneath. Panicles axil- 
lary, dichotomous, length of the pedicels. Berries white. A na- 
tive of Prince of Wales Island, where it blossoms in June, July 
and August." It would appear from his statement that the leaf- 
blades are "downy underneath" here also, that his plant was also 
f. floccosa rather than the typical C. longifolia Lam., although 
I would have expected C. pedunculata R. Br. at that locality. 
The specimen on which this record is based should be re-examined. 
Watt (1889) claims that what he calls C. longifolia var. lanceo- 
laria is native to eastern Bengal, the Khasi Hills, Chittagong, 
and Burma. 

The statement by Bentham & Mueller (1870) that the C. longi-~- 
folia of Australia has its "corolla densely pubescent" causes me 
to wonder if f. floccosa may not also be involved here, although 


the statement in the same sentence that the leaves are "green on 
both sides" points to the typical form and I have thus far seen 
only specimens of the typical form from that continent. 

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) describes this form as "Forma? 
floccosa Schau. in DC. Prod. Syst. Nat. XI (1847) p. 645. —A 
stout shrub or small tree; branchlets, cymes, and petioles dense- 
ly floccose-hairy; leaves oblong or broadly lanceolate, distinct- 
ly serrulate-denticulate, upper side sparsely stellate-hairy when 
adult, or glabrescent, except on the nerves, lower side rather 
densely floccose; cymes stout, globose, usually rather short- 
petioled; calyx densely and floccosely stellate-hairy; corolla 
purple or rose, densely woolly outside." 

The Clemens & Clemens 3029 & 21090, Krukoff 053, Mondi 23, G. 
E. Perry 5228, Toroes 16), C. Wang 35683, and R. S. Williams 2116, 
cited below, were previously regarded by me as representing typi- 
cal C. longifolia and were so annotated by me in some herbaria. I 
feel now, however, that they are better placed in f. floccosa. 
The Elmer 20102 & 2002, cited by me under typical C. longifolia, 


158 Pi ¥F 0.L-0 Gs Vol. 21, no. 3 


actually show the lower surface of the younger leaf-blades same- 
what floccose, but the mature leaves seem to be glabrate beneath, 
so I am retaining these collections under the typical form of the 
species. Elmer 15336 and Lei 11) also seem to exhibit intermedi- 
ate characters, some specimens more closely approaching the typi- 
cal form, while others approach f. floccosa. 

The Hamel & Toroes 1165, Hollrung 817, Hoogland 3653, Native 
Collector 27 273, and De De D. Wood 75, cited below, are placed here here 
tentatively. Some specimens | of these sori dctions are also cited 
by me under typical C. longifolia. These specimens were mostly 
annotated by me a considerable number of years ago, before my 
present concepts of the delimitation of these taxa has crystal- 
lized. They need to be re-examined. 

H. J. Lam (192) cites Schlechter 13818 & 16453 from North- 
eastern New Guinea and Peekel 62 from New Ireland. The second 
of the Schlechter collections, “however, is cited by me as typical 
C. longifolia. 

Material of C. longifolia f. floccosa has been misidentified 
and distributed in herbaria under the names C. angusta Schau., C. 
attenuatifolia Elm., C. attemifolia Elm., C. - longifolia Lam., C. 
longifolia var. subglabra Schau., and C. rubella Lindl. 

In all, 08 herbarium specimens and 4 mounted photographs of 
C. longifolia f£. floccosa have been examined by me.

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its petioles, leaf-venation, and inflorescence densely 
pubescent, the leaf-blades distinctly rhomboid-ovate, the margins 
very coarsely callose-serrate except at the acuminate apex and 
long cuneate-acuminate base, and the calyx-rim 5-toothed. 

The type of the variety was collected by Thomas Horsfield — 
in whose honor it is named -—- somewhere in Java and is deposited 
in the herbarium of the Botanical Garden at Kharkov State Univer- 
sity in Kharkov, Russia. 

Turezaninow's original description of this taxon is "C. ramis 
tetragonis simplicibus cum petiolis, nervis foliorum, atque in- 
florescentia dense pubescentibus; foliis rhombeo-ovatis utrinque 
longe attenuatis, a medio ad apicem grosse et callose serratis, 
in utraque pagina pilis raris conspersis et resinoso-punctatis; 
cymis brevibus petiolos parum excedentibus; calycis dentibus 5 
triangularibus majusculis, corollae tubo fere duplo brevioribus; 
staminibus ), pyrenis  apice barbatis, in statu maturo liberis. 
In Java legit Horsfield. A duabus species, ad § 1 in prodromo 
Candollii relatas jam differt dentibus calycinis quinque." Lam 
(1919) describes it as "A shrub, branchlets, petioles and cymes 
densely hairy; branchlets tetragonous; leaves ovate-rhomboid, 
both sides long attenuate, upper half coarsely serrate, sparse- 
ly pubescent on both sides, glandular, densier on nerves; cymes 
small, as long as or somewhat longer than petioles; calyx 5- 
toothed; teeth deltoid, rather large; corolla-tube twice as long 
as the teeth of the calyx; stamens ; ovary hairy at the top. 
Distribution: Java. This very imperfectly described species, of 
which we did not see any specimen, seems to be somewhat doubtful, 
as regards the 5-toothed calyx, of which the teeth are large- 
deltoid." Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) avers that "This 
doubtful species perhaps is to be considered as an abnormal form 
of C. longifolia Lam @ floccosa Schau." 

Only two photographs of the type collection have been ex- 
amined by me.

Perennial herb or shrub, about 1m. tall, softly villous 
throughout except for the flowers, usually with simple hairs; 
leaves sessile or subsessile to short-petiolate; petiole (when 
present) to 5 mm. long; leaf-blades papyraceous or chartaceous, 
obovate or oblong, --13 cm. long, 1.5--5.5 cm. wide, acuminate 
at the apex, coarsely mucronate-—dentate along the upper margins, 
gradually narrowed from the middle to the rounded or subcordate 
to cordate base, softly villous; secondaries about 7 per side; 
peduncles slender, 1.2--3.5 cm. long, villous—pubescent; cymes 
small, axillary, dense; pedicels to 2 m. long; calyx 2 m. 
long, villous-pubescent and glandulose outside, glabrous within, 
the rim -toothed or -lobed, the lobes or teeth lanceolate, 1.3 
or more mm. long, acute or acuminate at the apex, extending to 
the middle of the calyx; corolla pinkish or red to light—purple 
or purple, about 4 mm. long, puberulent or pubescent outside, 
glabrous within, the tube 3.5 mm. long, slightly oblique, grad- 
ually ampliate above, the limb l-lobed, the lobes 1 mm. long, 
obtuse at the apex; stamens ,, inserted near the base of the 
corolla-tube, exserted, 8--9 mm. long; anthers oblong, 1.5 mm. 
long, glandulose on the connective; style filiform, surpassing 
the stamens, ampliate at the apex; ovary glandulose; fruit 
pale- or deep-lilac,. 

This species was based by Dunn on Hongkong Herb. 3390, col=- 


lected in natural woods near Yenping, Fukien, China, in 1905. 


Callicarpa panduriformis is based on Chaffanjon 231 from Kwei- 
chow, China. For a time I considered this taxon to be synony- 
mous with C. rubella var. hemsleyana Diels, but I now regard it 


164 Par toL0 G ia Vol. 21, no. 3 


as conspecific with C. longipes. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) 
regards C. longipes as a synonym of C. cuspidata Roxb., which, 
however, “is actually C. pedunculata RK. Br. The C. cuspidata ac- 
credited to Hasskarl is C. C. longifolia Lam., while that accredited 
to Bakhuizen van den Brink is in part C. rubella Lindl. and in 
part C. longipes. 

Recent collectors have found C. longipes growing in forests, 
mixed woods, and thickets, at altitudes of 700 to 820 meters, 
flowering in June and fruiting in December. They record the ver— 
nacular name "sai ip un mat". The specific epithet is uppercased 
by some writers, for no valid reason. The corolla is described 
as "pinkish" on Ching 3230, "red" on Peng, Tak, & Kin 561, "red- 
dish-white" on Sin 10020, "light-purple" on Tsiang 10159, and 
"purple" on H. H. Chung 3370. 

P'ei (1932) comments that "The Fukien plant, Chung 3370, has 
coursely dentate leaves which are larger than those of the type 
and of Peng, Tak and Kin 561. The floral characteristics are the 
same in all the specimens cited. This species, as the leaf char- 
acters, concerned closely resembles Callicarpa Dielsii P'ei dif- 
fereing from it by its long acuminate calyx lobes por denser pub— 
escence on both surfaces of the leaves." He cites a Ching 3230 
from Anhwei and Chun 5689 & 5777 from Kwangtung, Soubtiewe depos- 
ited in the Arnotd Arboretum her herbarium, and an isotype (Hongkong 
Herb. 3390) in the same herbarium. He notes under what he calls 
Cc. C. dielsii that "It appears to me to be closely related to Calli- 
carpa 1 pa longipe s Dunn, the difference being the truncate calyx of of 
Callicarpa Dielsii (Lévl.) P'ei while that of C. longipes Dunn. 
is toothed." We now regard his C. dielsii asa a variety of C. 
rubella Lindl., namely, C. rubella var. var. dielsii (Léveillé) Li. 

Dop (1932), in describing C. br C. bracteata Dop, | Dop, says "Cette es- 
péce est voisine du C. longifolia Lam. Elle s'en distingue 
aisément par les pédoncules des cymes beaucoup plus longs, les 
bractées foliacées. La longueur du pédoncules la rapprocherait 
du C. longipes Dunn de Chine et de Hongkong j mais les feuilles 
longuement attenuées » la calice 4 dents trés petites, 1'eloign- 
ent nettement du C. longipes & feuilles arrondies ou cordées 4 
la base et a calice divisé jusqu'au milieu." 

Chang (1951) cites Tse Hai 57 and nos. 95, 962, 3370, 3927, 
W729, $689, 5777, S88, 7059, 8666, 12008, 21185, 21320, 25151, 
25319, 31621, & 43103 of collectors Spar aes herbaria for which he 
gives the names, unfortunately, only in Chinese characters, 

Material of C. longipes has been misidentified and distributed 
in herbaria under the names C. formosana Rolfe, C. giraldiana 
Pamp., C. longifolia Lam., and C. rubella var. hems leyana Diels. 

In all, 14 herbarium specimens and 3m 3 mounted photographs, in- 
cluding type material of both names involved, have been examined 
by me. 


THE GENUS COLUMNEA (GESNERIACEAE) IN PANAMA 


C. V. Morton 


I have been working from time to time on Columnea in Panama and 
Costa Rica for many years. My treatment of the Costa Rican species 
was published in Standley's "Flora of Costa Rica" in 1938, but I hav 
not published a key to the Panamanian species, which are even more 
numerous than the Costa Rican perhaps, although there are several 
Costa Rican species as yet undescribed. It seems that almost every 
new collection from virgin forests in Central America and Colombia 
yields undescribed species. When forests are cleared it appears 
that Columneas are completely exterminated and do not come back in 
secondary growth, which explains why several of the species have 
been found only once, and may never be found again. 

The division of Columnea into sections by Hanstein, Bentham and 
Hooker, and by Fritsch is not wholly satisfactory. The matter needs 
to be considered in depth. Very recently, William T. Stearn 
published a beautifully prepared and documented paper "The Jamaica 
Species of Columnea and Alloplectus (Gesneriaceae)" (Bull. Brit. 
Mus. Nat. Hist. 4 (5): 181-236, t. 14-21. 1969) in which he pro- 
posed a new alignment of the species. Columnea is restricted to 
the section Columnea itself, in which pollination is by humming 
birds, so far as known, and which is distinguished morphologically 
by having the four anterior corolla lobes united into a galea and 
the posterior lobe narrower and spreading or deflexed. The stamens 
are exserted and the anthers are initially connate. The section 
Cryptocolumnea would obviously belong here also, although Stearn 
does not mention it, for it has exactly the same kind of corolla 
and stamens, and differs only in having the leaves of a pair 
strongly unequal. Stearn refers all the other species to Alloplectu: 
tentatively, but it does not discuss them in detail. 

This is a radical viewpoint, and it does not solve the problems 
by any means, for it leaves Alloplectus very heterogeneous indeed, 
including plants with the corollas erect in the calyx or horizontal, 
bilabiate or regular, contracted in the throat or not; the fruits 
fleshy berries or capsule-like; the disk composed of five glands 
or reduced to one. Most importantly, there is no overall resemblanc: 
between these "'Alloplectus" species, such as ought to characterize 
a genus regardless of individual characters. Moreover, the method 
of pollination of most species of Alloplectus remains to be determine 
and some may indeed be pollinated by humming birds. For these reaso 
I am not following Stearn in his definitions. It may be remarked 
that the anthers offer some useful characters, particularly as 
regards the distinction between Alloplectus and Drymonia. 

The chromosome number is n = 9 in those Panamanian species so 
far investigated, namely C. consanguinea, C. hirta, C. nicaraguensis 
C. warscewicziana, C.,sanguinolenta, C. illepida, and C. moorei

(cf. Cytogenetic Studies in the Genus Columnea L.. by Lawrence 

Carl Sherk) (MS Thesis, Cornell University, 1960). It should be 
mentioned also that although I have described the stigmas of the 
various species as either stomatomorphic or bilobed the distinction 
is by no means always clear from dried material. This character 
needs to be studied by itself and in more detail, especially from 
fresh specimens. 

The type of Alloplectus Mart. is conserved as A. sparsiflorus 
Mart. That this may not be the best choice will be discussed in a 
future paper by Mr. Hans Wiehler, who has made some valuable contri- 
butions to our knowledge of the relationships of the genera of the 
Tribe Columneae (Cornell University Thesis, 1970, unpublished.)

This is one of the species that does not fit comfortably into either 
Alloplectus or Columnea. I do not believe that any Alloplectus 
species have five disk glands, but there are some Columneas that 
do, and consequently the closer alliance may be with Columnea, which 
is shown also by the erect, unspurred corollas. A species from 
Chiapas, still undescribed, appears allied.

TYPE: Cultivated in the Bailey Hortorium, Moore (BH, not seen). 

RANGE: Known only from the type and a specimen cultivated in 
Fantastic Gardens, South Miami, Florida, Feb. 25, 1954, R. G. Wilson. 

At the time I published on Trichantha in 1963 the native habitat 
of this species was unknown. It had been variously reported to be 
from Ecuador, from Tingo Maria, Peru, or from the Panama Canal Zone. 
Mr. Henry Butcher, of Chiriqui, Panama, has since written me that he 
was the original collector, and that the species is a native of the 
Chiriqui region of Panama. There is no reason to doubt this. A 
possibly allied species (still undescribed because of inadequate 
material) so far as flowers go has turned up in the same area.

"MANUAL OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF TEXAS" by Donovan S. Corell and 
Marshall C. Johnston and collaborators, xv & 1881 pp., illus, 
Texas Research Foundation, Renner, Texas 75079. 1970. $30. 


Built uppn a fine start in Lundell's "Flora of Texas" and con—- 
tinued in the same careful vein, this excellent systematic study 
will prove exceedingly useful. Everything about Texas is huge 
and so is this book. Ilustrations are limited to county and 
vegetational state maps and a colored frontispiece of the state 
flower, the bluebomet of Texas. Limitations set by the single 
volume size preclude any geographic distribution maps and floral 
drawings; the information is there in print. Space has been 
found for a good glossary, list of abbreviations including 
authors! names, and index. 


"HERBALS -—- THEIR ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION" A Chapter in the History 
of Botany 170--1670, by Agnes Arber, xxiv & 326 pp., illus,, 
facsimile of the 1938 second edition, Hafner Publishing Co., 
Darien, Connecticut 06820 & New York, N. Y. 10022. 1970. 


$12.95. 


The first edition of 1912 was a gem; the second edition of 26 
years later is a bigger and brighter gem. This offset copy 
makes possible the needed restocking of library shelves with a 
book which, like a gem, does not lose its value in aging. 

The history of the printed herbals got its start somehow "in 
the thoughts of ancient Greece.......and it can be followed lin- 
eally to our own day." Throughout it has been shown "that botany 
rose from being a mere handmaid of medicine to a position of com=- 
parative independence." 

The book is very carefully indexed and has 131 clear and very 
interesting figures or plates. 


"SINCE SILENT SPRING" by Frank Graham, Jr., xvi & 333 pp., Hough- 
ton Mifflin Co., Boston, Mass. 02107. 1970. $6.95. 


Eight years have passed since Rachel Carson's carefully docu- 
mented story of the effects of uncontrolled, nondegradable, 
general pesticide pollution on our environment was offered to the 
public and since the vitriolic attacks upon it made mainly by the 
agrico-chemical industries. Without the compelling readability 
of this talented author but with the full appreciation of her ef- 
forts and kindred ones of others this conservationist-author 
shows how Miss Carson has been completely vindicated, how snidely 
much of her opposition reacted, what small progress has been made, 
and what a great deal more — jes with our present knowledge —

can be made. 

Important appendices add much to this worthwhile book. The 
first includes an article from the Audubon's "Atlantic Naturalist" 
entitled "Safer Pesticides for Home and Garden" by Shirley A. 
Briggs. The second, by Harold G. Alford, gives the "Federal Reg- 
istration Requirements for Pesticide Products". The third, "In 
Memoriam", tells of the Rachel Carson Trust for the Living Envi- 
ronment in Washington, D. C., of the Rachel Carson Memorial Fund 
administered by the National Auduhon Society, of how we may help 
through them, and of how Rachel Carson left legacies to the 
Sierra Club and to the Nature Conservancy, estatlishing the 
Rachel Carson Seacoast Fund for the preservation of natural 
areas along the New England coast. 


"THEORIES ON THE NATURE OF LIFE" by Giovanni Blandino, S. J., 
xiii & 37) pp., illus., Philosophical Library, New York, N. 
Y. 10016. 1969. $6.00. 


This book is the English translation by 0. C. Olsoufieff of 
the emended first Italian edition. In it the author expounds and 
evaluates the following theories: determinism and anti-casualisn, 
mechanism, vitalism, dialectical materialism, cybernetics, mnemo- 
nism, emergentism, holism and panpsychism. He presents these 
concepts mainly through quotations from the major proponents of 
each, such as Claude Bernard, Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Hans 
Dreisch, John S. Haldane, Julian S. Huxley, Jacques Loeb, Joseph 
Needham, Aleksandr I. Ceparin and George G. Simpson. 

After elaborating upon what he and/or biologists generally 
consider inadequacies and errors in these concepts, the author 
presents his own ideas. He accepts the principle of invariable- 
ness of probabilities and the principle of impossibility. Ap- 
plied to the "average chance universe the formation of a highly 
regular structure is possible, though greatly improbable....and 
the realization of a living body is simply impossible,....the 
existence of every living body requires preferential laws: pre- 
ferential laws are the fundamental causes of life, [and] there- 
fore also of evolution." After elaborating upon the Hardy- 
Weinberg law, he concludes that "probably the principal direc- 
tional factor of evolution has been the differential vitality or 
selection." Each is a different possible modality of the orien- 
ted causes. "My position is therefore essentially anti-causal- 
istic, not anti-selectionistic. In my opinion the 'formula' of 
the causes of evolution is not chance and selection, but prefer- 
ential laws and selection." 

: English is probably not the "first" language of the transla- 
or.

problems taught by the author for non-biologists. It will well 
serve a wider audience of interested citizenry who wish to be well 
informed on this very important topic. 

The author fortifies with practical information and reasoning 
his belief that optimum solutions to community pollution problems 
must be developed through an integrated or systems approach. He 
considers food diseases, insecticides, zoonoses, sewage, water and 
air pollution, accidents and occupational hazards, noise, ionizing 
radiation, biological and chemical warfare, and finally the poli- 
tics of pollution. He does not seem to be concerned especially 
with the problem of the numerically expanding human population. 

_ The author's intent "will have been achieved if the presenta=- 
tion enables the intelligent reader to evaluate these problems 
from a basis of knowledge and understanding, rather than of emo- 
tional fervor founded on ignorance, superstition, and prejudice." 
This reviewer wishes him many readers for the sake of "our pre- 
carious habitat". 

Bibliographic material is arranged according to the chapter 
topics. 

There is a useful index. 


"THE TRANSPORT OF PLANT HORMONES" —- Proceedings of the NATO/Ege 
University Summer Institute, October 1967 —- edited by Y. 
Vardar, viii & 457 pp., illus., North-Holland Publishing 
Co., Amsterdam & John Wiley & Sons, Inc. as their Western 
Hemisphere distributor, New York, N. Y. 10016. 1968. $23.00 


The 26 papers and their valuable discussions present what is 
known today and outline the research and re-evaluations needed 
tomorrow. Kaldewey's opening address analyzes polar transporta- 
tion in terms of "density", "velocity" and "intensity" rate 
rather than just "rate". Other authors deal with the movement of 

-marked indoly| acetic acid; auxin and kinin relationship with 
senescence; acrop3tal movement of auxin and agents modifying its 
longitudinal transport; effects of photosynthesis, tropisms, sym- | 
biosis, flowering and bud dormancy. Alleweldt considers "the an- 
mual cyclic pattern of growth and dormancy as the result of a 
complex competition of operators controlled by external condi- 
tions in combination with an endogenous mechanism of plant devel- 
opment, that is, a hormonal influence on the mechanisms by which 
the information contained in the genetic code of DNA is trans—- 
ferred to the corresponding mRNA, this giving rise to the synthe- 
sis of specific enzymes." 

Some proofreader was lax because oxidation is spelled two ways 
on p. 154, while continuum on p. 366, German on p. h, Cichorium 
intybus on p. 415 are also misspelled. 

The index is scanty, omitting all plant names. 

This is a valuable book, but also an unreasonably expensive 
one.

"AUSTRALIAN NATIVE ORCHIDS IN COLOUR" by Leo Cacy & E. R. Rother 
ham, 112 pp., illus., Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Ver- 
mont 05701 & Tokyo, Japan. 1971. $6.75. 


This book is a little beauty at a very reasoriable price con- 
sidering the inclusion of over 100 beautiful color photographic 
prints. The text by the first author, who has been specializing 
in orchids for over a score of years, consists cf interesting 
succinct descriptions, pollination information so fascinating in 
this family, habitat and geographic distribution notes, scientific 
and common names with their derivations, and type specimen records. 
The illustrations by the second author, who is a renowned natural 
history photographer, combine very effectively correct represen- 
tation, exquisite detail and artistic grace. 

The following items are only of minor significance: lithophytes 
are confused with lithophiles (p. 7), dependence is misspelled (p. 
7), "Geodorum" is derived from "being near the earth" [that is, 
the flower] instead of "gift of the earth" (p. 92), and magnifi- 
cations are not given with the illustrations. 

Anyone interested in orchids, anyone interested in Australia — 
in fact, just anyone at all -- should enjoy this book!

A valuable service has been rendered by these scientists for 
taxonomic botanists, pharmaceutical workers and students, and 
many others in collating all this material. The first five mono- 
graphs were edited by the last two individuals mentioned above 
and were published by the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. All 
are built on Dr. Eldin V. Lynn's file of triple entries kept by 
him for many years (generic, author, chemical) and have been 
added to constantly. 

Material is arranged by related and briefly described plant 
families and alphabetically by genera and the species within 
them. After each species the common names, common synonymy, and 
the chemicals involved are listed. Numbers after each chemical 
refer to the bibliography given at the end of each plant family.

able more "attractive" works for our students. Part I deals with 
cell organization, metabolism, growth and development. Part II 
discusses habitatal interrelations and such economic microbiolog- 
ical processes as are used in the fermentation industries, anti- 
biotic production, etc. Part III develops the diversity of fungi 
in relation to their environments in systematic order. 

There is an appendix with classification, a useful biblio-

"THE BIOLOGY OF LICHENS" by Mason E. Hale, Jr., viii & 176 pp., 
illus., American Elsevier Publishing Co., New York, N. Y. 
10017. 1970. $7.50. 


This excellent highly readable work was first published by Ed- 
ward Arnold, Ltd., of London in 1967. It makes a fine companion 
volume to the author's "Lichen Handbook" of 1961, thus supplemen- 
ting this field guide with basic modern biological theory and in=- 
formation. It belongs in the libraries of all kinds of biolo- 
gists, all schools and scientifically interested general readers. 

It covers the following topics: morphology of the thallus and 
its ascomycete or basidiomycete reproductive structures and vege= 
tative diaspores, physiology and nutrition, symbiosis and synthe- 
sis, growth and longevity, succession in ecologically different 
comunities, intra- and extra-cellular chemistry and biochemical 
systematics, classification and taxonomy, and finally economic 
importance. This thin book has 289 important bibliographic ref- 
erences, a useful index, and excellent photos and drawings. 

How does the author delimit lichens? "Lichens are undeniably 
more than a sum of their [fungal and algal] parts, for licheni- 
zation is accompanied by structural modifications (e.g., thalloid 
exciple, soredia) new to the plant kingdom and physiological 
activities (production of lichen acids) different from those of 
either component."

2 by Jo&o Angely, xix--xliii & 21-56 & 17 pp., illus., 
Edico&s Phyton, C.P. 5271, S&o Paulo, Brazil. 1970. 


Welcome to this new volume in a very carefully executed serial 
publication from a most prodigious botanical worker! It covers 
31 families from the Leguminosae through the Vitaceae with 20 
genera and 1345 species and their subunits. For each taxon is 
given the source of its scientific name, a brief description, 
blooming times, common names, synonymy, and geographic distribu- 
tion. 

There are 399 distribution maps covering the range of the re- 
corded plants throughout the Western Henisphere. There are sever— 
al valuable indexes. The offset printing is very neat; only the 
generic name Rhabdocaulon on p. xxxiv was noticed as misspelled.

SOME NEW DISCOMYCETE NAMES 


RICHARD P. KORF 
Plant Pathology Herbariwn 
Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 


Preparation of keys to the Discomycete genera (Korf, 1971) has 
led to several revisions by the author and his students, most of 
which are being reported elsewhere. This brief article involves 
validation of three new genera and forty-three new combinations in 
various Discomycete groups not currently being monographed by us.

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its pubescence on the petioles, leaf-blades, branches, pe- 
duncles, inflorescence-branches, pedicels, and calyx hirsute, e- 
longate, divergent at right angles to the base, and gland-tipped. 

The type of the variety was collected by S. K. Lau (no. 3927) — 
in whose honor it is named — at Sai Hang Cheung, near Tung Lei 
village, Kiennan District, Kiangsi, China, between July 28 and 30, 
1934, and is deposited in the United States National Herbarium at 
Washington. 

In all, 3 herbarium specimens, including the type, have been 
examined by me.

Benguet, Luzon, Philippine Islands, in May of 190), and was de- 
posited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science at Manila, but 
is now destroyed. Collectors have found this species in bloom 
from February to June. A black fungus is on specimens of M. S. 
Clemens 5882. The Vanoverbergh 1376, distributed as C. longi- 
petiolata, i is actually the type collection of its var. '. glabrescens

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its lower leaf-surfaces decidedly silvery, but only very 
sparsely furfuraceous on the larger venation when mature. 

The type of the variety was collected by Father Morice Frans 
Jules Pieter Maria Vanoverbergh (no. 1376) in Bontoc Subprovince, 
Luzon, Philippine Islands, on June 30, 191), and is deposited in 
the herbarium of the Botanisch Museum at Utrecht. This same col- 
lection is also the type of Merrill's C. longipetala, which I 
formerly (1947) regarded as typical C. longipetiolata. The plant 
has been collected in anthesis so far only in June. Material has 
been misidentified and distributed in herbaria as C. angusta Schau. 
and as typical C. longipetiolata Merr. is 

In all, 6 herbarium specimens, including type material of both 
names involved, and 3 mounted photographs have been examined by me.

to lanceolate or conspicuously and narrowly elongate-lanceolate, 
12—23 cm. long, 2--5.5 cm. wide, entire or crenately serrate, 
glabrous or subglabrous to pubescent with stellate hairs above 
(especially along the venation), sparsely golden-pulverulent and 
with a few large glands beneath or glabrous; secondaries 13 or 1h

long; flowers minute; calyx 1 mm. long, sparsely glandulose on 
the outer surface, glabrous within, its rim truncate, with ) rudi- 
mentary teeth; corolla red or pink: to purple, sometimes yellowish- 
white or white, sparsely pubescent and glandulose outside, its

Merrill (1917) comments that "The type of Hamsley's variety was 
from near Canton, and is the form interpreted by Hance and by Max- 
imowicz as Callicarpa longifolia Lam. Lamarck's type was from 
Malacca, and Callicarpa longifolia Lam. is a species entirely dis- 
tinct from this Chinese form; Hemsley states that his var. longis- 
sima stands out very distinctly from all others (i.e., other forms 
of Callicarpa longifolia Lam.) and should perhaps be raised to be 
specific rank. It is distinguished from Lamarck's species by its 


212 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 


narrow, elongated, nearly glabrous, entire or but very minutely 
toothed leaves, its smaller flowers, and other characters. In 
some respects it approaches the Philippine Callicarpa dolichophyl- 
la Merr., from which it is distinguished by its vegetative char- 
acters." 

The C. longifolia accredited to "Auct.", to Blume, to Linnaeus, 
to Roxburgh, and to Vahl in the synonymy Lok above is C. longi- 
folia Lam., a valid species, that accredited to Diels is C C. bodin- 
ieri | var. giraldii (Hesse) Rehd., that accredited to Hooker is Ce. Cc. 
brevipes (Benth.) Hance, that accredited to "sensu Hemsl." is eh 
japonica var. angustata "Rehd., while that attributed to Hemsley 
is in part C. bodinieri var. giraldii and in part C. japonica var. 

angustata. 

According to P'ei (1932) "Hemsley's original description is as 
follows: 'Fere undique glabra mitidaque, foliis valde longatis 
anguste lanceolatis usque 9 poll. longis, subtus pallidioribus 
parce aureo-pulverulentis ceterum glabris, cymis distincte pedun- 
culatis, floribus minutis. — C. longifolia Hance in Ann. Sc. Nat.

Variable as C. longifolia is as limited here and in the "Flora of 
British India", the present form stands out very distinctly from 
all the others ” and should perhaps be raised to specific rank.'" He 
cites Chang liSu, Chung 2477 & 2800, Ging 7212, 729k, & 15778, and 
Po 2049 from Fukien, McClure 3454 from Kiangsi, Ching 7738 from 
Kwangsi, Chun 6922 from Kwangtung, Tsang 810 from Hainan Island,

Island. He says further " allicarpa 1 ongissima ‘ssima (Hemsl. ) Merr. has 
nearly glabrous leaves except for the long villose hairs along the 
veins on the upper surface, and a ring of long hairs at each node 
of the branchlets. It is related to Callicarpa longifolia Lam. 
and C. brevipes Hance differing from the former by its leaves being 
glabrous beneath, and pubescent above only along the veins; from 
the later by its attenuate leaf-base; and from both by its long 
narrow leaves." His C. longissima f. subglabra is described by 
him as follows: "A typo differt foliis subglabris, ovato-lanceola- 
tis ad elliptico-lanceolatis, 12.5 to 20 cn. longis 3 to 4.7 cm. 
latis, nodis band barbatis. Kwangtung: Lungtau Mt., near Iu, 
Peng (To), Tak (Ts'ang) and Kin (Ts'ang) 2961, May 192h, ‘Shrub 4 
feet tall, flowers white and [ yellow' ; same e locality, Peng (To), 
Tak (Ts'ang) and Kin (Ts'ang) 5573, June 192), 'Flowers yellowish 
white'; North River, near Fungwanhu, Peng (To), Tak (Ts'ang) and 
Kin (Ts'ang) 8261, July 192), 'Flowers white'. This differs fram 
the type by its leaves being glabrous above and subglabrous be- 
neath. There is no ring of long hairs at the nodes of the branch- 
lets." 

The type of C. taiwaniana was collected by Sigetaka Suzuki (no. 
5945) at Sankyaku and Suigen, Formosa, and is deposited in the her- 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa a3 


barium of the National Taiwan University. 

Chang (1951) maintains C, longissima, C. longissima f. subgla- 
bra, and C. taiwaniana as three distinct and valid taxa, although 
he seems not to be entirely certain about the last-named of these. 


names, again, he gives only in Chinese characters. 

Recent collectors have found C. longissima growing on hillsides, 
wooded hillsides, low slopes, and dry land, in forests, wooded 
places, thickets, and dry places by the sides of houses, and at 
pondsides, at altitudes of 10 to 1600 meters, flowering from May 
to August and in October, and fruiting from September to March. 
Ching describes it as "common" in Kwangsi; Lau found it to be 
"fairly common on dry steep slope in sandy soil of rocky forest" 
on Hainan Island; and Tsang describes it as "fairly common in 
village commons in dry sandy soil and silt" in Kwangsi. E. D. 
Merrill 9986 is said to be a topotype. ETN e 

Vernacular names for the plant appear to be "bok wat tan", 
"fat fung shu", "long-leaved beauty-berry", and "taai tsin mi 
fung". The corolla is described as "red" on W. T. Tsang 22628, 
"pink" on H. H. Chung 2800 and F. C. How 72815, "purple" on R. C. 
Ching 7738, "green" on H. H. Chung 277, "white and yellow" on 
Peng, Tak, & Kin 296, "yellowish-white" on Peng, Tak, & Kin 557, 
and "white" on Peng, Tak, & Kin 826. 

Callicarpa longissima closely resembles C. brevipes f. serrula- 
ta P'ei, but the latter has serrate or serrulate leaf=blades, 
whereas in C. longissima the leaf-blades are entire or subentire. 
Some specimens (e.g., R. C. Ching 6996) also greatly resemble the 
M. Ramos 2037 collection which is regarded by me as representing 
C. dolichophylla Merr. Li (1963) cites H. H. Bartlett 6082, 
Nakahara s.n., Sasaki s.n., Suzuki 5945, and E. H. Wilson 9821 & 
10108 from Formosa. 

Material of this species has been misidentified and distribu- 
ted in herbaria as C. brevipes (Benth.) Hance, C. longifolia Lan., 
and Clerodendron sp. On the other hand, the H. H. Bartlett 6082, 
cited by Li and distributed as C. longissima, is actually C. ran- 
daiensis Hayata. It is probable that the other Formosan material 
cited by Li also represents that species. 

In all, 38 herbarium specimens and one mounted photograph have 
been examined by me.

Fructus 1 mm diametro punctatus." 

The species is based on W. P. Fang 17252 from Szechuan, depos- 
ited in the herbarium of the Botanical Institute of Sunyatsen Uni- 
ciel Canton, China. From the same province is cited W. P.

This species is native from China southward into Nepal, Bhutan, 
India, Burma, and Hongkong, and east to New Guinea. It has been 
introduced in Réunion and Madagascar and is also widely cultiva- 
Loy elsewhere. The corolla is described as "pink" on Pradham & 

hapa 497 and T. A. Rao 7201, "red" on Steward & Cheo . 876, * pur- 
— on A. Henry 9262 iy 9262, © "purplish-pink" on nm Winit 1152, | "blue" on 
Tsiang 6371, "red and purple® on G. W. Groff ff 10, “and "violet" on 
Larsen, Santisuk, & Warncke BT Tea | As) usual, one wonders if the 
color of the Seana voally really varies so much or if it is merely a 
matter of interpretation and definition of color by the collector. 

Collectors have found the species growing on hillsides, in 
sandy riverbeds, ricefields, forests, deep forests, and valley 
forests, in thick jungles, bamboo shrubbery, thickets, open scrub, 
and waste places about villages, and on open slopes, from sealevel 
to 2000 meters altitude, flowering from May to October, as well as 
from January to March, and fruiting from October to February and 
in August. Rao (19595 refers to the species as "a large herb" 
with the flowers "in dense spikes" [which is obviously an error}] 
and cites Rao 7201. Dakshini (1965) reports this plant as one of 
the major constituents of the "poor shrubbery layer", the “shrub 
story on slopes", and "in moist soil of swamps" in the Dehra Dun 
region of India, where he says that the species is common. Juan 
reports it as "rare" in Upper Burma and Ching calls it "rare" in 
Kwangsi. Panigrahi & Joseph (1966) aver that it is abundant in 
thick evergreen forests in Nefa and cite their no. 16728, while 
Thothathri and his associates (1966) report it as common near 
plantations in Bihar and cite Shetty 180. 

The Banerjees (1968) also record C. macrophylla from Bihar, 
while Gupta (1967) and Uniyal (1968) found it growing in Uttar Pra- 
desh. Yamazaki (1966) gives its overall distribution as "Himalaya 
(Kashmir to Assam), Bengal, Burma, Indo-China, and S. China". Ma- 
heshwari (1963) tells us that it is "Cultivated as a hedge plant in 
gardens" in the Delhi region and cites J. K. Maheshwari 218. He 
describes the plant as "An erect shrub up to 3m. tall. Branches, 
lower surface of leaves and inflorescences densely stellate-woolly. 
Leaves up to 22 x 7 cm., ovate, elliptic or ovate-lanceolate, 
coarsely crenate-serrate. Flowers rose-coloured, crowded in dense, 
dichotomous cymes. Drupes white," flowering from June to Septen- 
ber. Gupta (1967) describes the corollas as "pink". Prain (1903) 
calls the plant "A shrub 3--8 feet high", growing "In all the pro- 
vinces" of Bengal. Uniyal (1968) calls it a "small drooping shrub 
with purple flowers growing commonly in shade at 900 m." He cites 
Uniyal 3800 and notes that "a very small quantity is collected and

consumed locally, the seed-paste being used for mouth ulcers" in 
Uttar Pradesh. In the same state Puri (1960) tells us that C. 
macrophylla grows in the third story in edaphic Gangetic tropical 
moist deciduous river rainforests in the sub—Himalayan tract under 
a canopy of Bombax malabaricum and Gmelina arborea, and also that 
it inhabits riverbeds and grows along streams in swamp—edaphic 
forests on clay beds with 100 inches of annual rainfall which goes 
underground and then oozes out, making small streams. These are 
mixed forests mainly consisting of Bischofia javanica. “e also 
tells us that the species is considered to be good fodder in the 
states of Punjab, Pepsu, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Himalchal Pradesh, 
Jammu, and Kashmir in northern India. 

Because of the considerable misinterpretation of this species 
in the past, it is perhaps worthwhile to reproduce here the orig- 
inal description and certain other relevant descriptions. Vahl 
(179) first described this taxon as follows: "Callicarpa foliis 
lanceolato-ellipticis crenatis attenuatis, supra rugosis subtus 
ramisque tomentoso-incanis. Tab. LIII. Habitat in India orien- 
tali Konig. } Rami obscure tetragoni, uti petioli & pedunculi, 
tomento denso sublanato tecti, ut in Call. lanata. Folia petio-~ 
lata, opposita, spithamaea & ultra. saepe uncias tres lata, cre- 
nata, inferne versus integerrima, apice attenuata, basi obtusa, 
supra nervosa: nervis canescentibus, venoso rugosa, villis raris- 
simis minutis adspersa, subtus tomentosa, incana, tomento tenuiore 
quam in ramis, nervis elevatis venisque simplicibus obliquis inter 
nervos: huniora utrinque cana. Petiolus pollicaris. Paniculae 
axillares, dichotome-ramisissimae, oppositae, bipollicares: ramis 
divaricatis. Pedunculus universalis longitudine petiolorunm. 
Bracteae ad ramificationes oppositae, lineares. Calyx minutus, 
quadridentatus, incanus. Corollae laciniae oblongo-subcuneatae, 
glabrae. Stamina & pisti]la flore longiora. Sub nomine Callicar- 
pae tomentosae misit Konigius, differt vero, ut ex descriptione 
patet, foliis lanceolato-ellipticis crenatis, nec ovatis integer- 
rimis denticulatisqe." 

Roxburgh (1820) modified Vahl's description as follows: "C. 
macrophylla. Vahl. Symbol. iii. 13. t. 53. Shrubby, downy. 
Leaves opposite, ovate-lanceolate, serrulate, reticulate, hoary 
underneath. Corymbs axillary, dichotomous, rather longer than the 
petiols. Berry minute, white. Native of Silhet and Chittagong. 
A shrub from four to eight feet in length. Trunk scarcely any, 
but several, round, erect branches, covered with white down. 
Leaves opposite, petioled, lanceolate, or oblong lanceolate, fine- 
pointed, finely serrate, wrinkled, above soft and a little downy, 
below covered with much whitish soft down, from six to nine inches 
long, and two or three broad. Stipules none. Petiols about an 
inch long, downy. Corymbs axillary, peduncled, two-forked nearly 
globular, downy, many times shorter than the leaves. -- Peduncles 
as long as the petiols, round and downy. -- Bractes lanceolate, 
one under each division of the corymb. — Flowers very numerous, 
small, rose-coloured. — Calyx woolly the four divisions distinct

and acute." The fruit, of course, is a drupe, not a berry, and 
the inflorescence is a cyme, not a corymb. 
Roxburgh's C. incana is described (1820) as follows by him: 


"C. incana R. Shrubby, young shoots hoary. Leaves lanceolate, 
obtusely serrulate, fine and entire-pointed, hoary underneath. 
Mashandari Asiat. Res. lv. 233. Beng. Muttura, Muttrunja. A 
stout shrub, with all the tender parts and the under surface of 
the leaves densely clothed with long, soft, white, stellate pubes- 
cence; common in the vicinity of Calcutta, where it is in flower 
and seed nearly the whole year. I long considered this to be 
Vahl's macrophylla, but on rearing what I also took for the same 
species from Silhet and Chittagong, in the Botanic Garden, I could 
plainly observe a striking difference when growing near each other, 
and as the Chittagong and Silhet sort agrees much better with 
Vahl's figure and description I must consider it to be his macro- 
phylla. In the Calcutta plant, which I now call incana, the leaves 
are never so broad in proportion to their length, more round at 
the base; much more pointed, with the long taper-points entire; 
all the rest of the margin, except what may be called the base, 
obtusely-serrulate. In macrophylla, the leaves are crenate, more. 
obtuse, and the margins cut to the very apex; the two are however 
very nearly allied, though I think sufficiently distinct to auth- 
orize their being considered as different." Kuntze (1891) re- 
duced this to varietal rank under C. macrophylla, although he ac- 
credited the variety to Roxburgh, and describes it as "Folia an- 
gustiora (1: 3--5). Bengalen, Sikkim." In this disposition he 
may be correct although as yet I have been unable to separate the 
two forms satisfactorily. 

Léveillé's original description (1911) of C. dunniana is "Habi- 
tu et aspectu affinis C. macrophyllae Vahl a quo differt: serra- 
turis foliorum tenuioribus; foliis supra viridibus nec rubescenti- 
bus, tomento candido nec cinereo aut flavido, antheris eglandulo- 
sis et inflorescentia axillari, foliosa nec divaricato-corymbosa 
et terminali. Kouy-Tchéou: Environs de Hoong-Ko-Chou, vallée de 
Pa-Lin-Kiao (Tchen-Lin). Arbuste a fleur d'un violet-pourpre, 20 
juin 1898 (D. Séguin. 23a); Long-chan, juin 1906, fleurs rouges 
(Jas. Esquirol, 869)." 

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) describes C. macrophylla as fol- 
lows: "A shrub, 3--5 M. high; branchlets, cymes, petioles densely 
mealy or woolly; leaves rather large, coriaceous, oblong or sub- 
lanceolate, base obtuse or rounded, often subcordate, apex rather 
long acuminate, margins crenate vel obtusely serrate, except at 
the base and the top, upper side, when adult, densely hairy, the 
stellate hairs often stubbily broken, lower side softly white or 
greyish tomentose; pairs of nerves 10—15; 10--35 c.M. long, 3— 
18 c.M. broad; petioles 1-2 c.M.; cymes rather small, globose, 
3--5 c.M. long, 3--10 c.M. in diam.; peduncles short, 1--2 c.M. 
long; calyx cupuliformous, densely floccose outside, 0.10--0.15 
c.M. long; shortly -toothed, teeth subincurved, 0.01—-0.015 c.M. 
long; corolla exsert 0.30.15 c.M., tube glabrous, 11/2 -- 2 


222 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 4 


times as long as the calyx, lobes , ovate, 0.1--0.12 c.M. long, 
0.15—-0.20 c.M. broad, glabrous or with some hairs outside; sta- 
mens 0.5--0.6 c.M.; anthers glandular, 0.07--0.10 c.M.; style 0.6— 
0.7 c.M., with subpeltate or obscurely l-lobed stigma; ovary 
glabrous, glandular; drupe glabrous, white when mature, )-seeded. 
Distribution: Brit.-India! Malabar! Himalaya! Nepal! Assam! Sil- 
het! Bengal! BurmaJ Hainan! Hongkong! Chinas N.-Guinea (Warb.! 
Lauterb.!)! -- Mascarenes (Schau.)! Réunion (Cordem)!" 

Gamble (1881), under the name C. cana L., describes C. macro- 
phylla as "A shrub. Bark thin, grey-brown. Wood white, soft. 
Annual rings marked by a line of closer pores. Pores moderate- 
sized, sometimes subdivided. Medullary rays moderately broad, the 
distance between them greater than the transverse diameter of the 
pores. Bengal. Common in forests and along roadsides in the 
Terai and Diéars, extending probably southwards to the Ganges. It 
has pretty pink flowers." 

Backer & Bakhuizen van den Brink (1965) describe C. macrophyl- 
la from Java as follows: "Petiole 10--25 mm long; leaves oblong 
or lanceolate, from a cuneate, obtuse, rounded, or subcordate 
base, with an acuminate or tapering base, rather acute, crenate- 
serrate, at first on the upper surface densely covered with stel- 
late hairs, afterwards with very numerous stubble-like rests of 
these, 10--35 cm by 2--18 cm. Cymes on 1-2 cm long peduncles, 
densely stellate-hairy, 3--10 cm across; pedicels gland-dotted; 
calyx minutely denticulate, with numerous yellow, glandular dots, 
basally coarsely stellate-hairy, 1 — 1 1/2 mm long; corolla vio- 
let, outside thinly hairy or glabrous, with yellow glandular 
dots, 3 -- 1/2 m high; stamens 5--6 mm; drupe white. Shrub. 
3.00--5.00; I--XII; native to SE. Asia; in Java, 10—600, culti- 
vated as an ornamental." 

Champion & Hooker (1853) state that C. macrophylla is related 
to C. integerrima Champ., which is easily distinguished by its 
broad entire leaves and dense golden tomentum. Rosenthal (1862) 
says "Callicarpa Rheedii Kost. soll Rheedes Tondi-Teregam (IV.60) 
sein, wohin Dennstedt fragweise Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl.. 
zieht." Lam (1919) says of his C. pedunculata var. glabriuscula 
"This variety has an affinity with C. macrophylla, with which 
some authors confound the species, by the form of its leaves, es- 
pecially in regard to the base." 

A memorandum by C. E. C. Fischer and T. A. Sprague, preserved 
in the Britton Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden, and 
dated August 18, 1931, states: "(1) The name Callicarpa Roxburghii 
was published by Wallich, Cat. nd. 1833 (1828--29) as a new name 
for C. incana Roxb., nonC. canal. It was effectively published 
since it is associable with the description of C. incana Roxb., 
but is an illegitimate name because it was superfluous. (2) Wal- 
pers, Rep. iv. 127 (134--8) published a description of C. Rox- 
burghii apparently based on Wall. Cat. n. 1833, specimen. A much 
better description of Callicarpa Roxburghii Wall. Cat. n. 1833, 
specimen, was published by Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 60 (187). 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 223 


This mentions the setaceous calyx-lobes [and is now known as C. 
kochiana Mak.). (3) C. B. Clarke (F, B. I. iv. 568) and Lam” 
(Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenz. ser. 3, iii. 23) reduce C. incana Roxb. 
to C. macrophylla Vahl, apparently correctly. (h) Callicarpa 
Roxburghii Wall. (1828-29) is accordingly a taxonomic synonym of 
C. macrophylla Yahl. (5) The specimen of Callicarpa Roxburghii 
Wall. Cat. n. 1833 described by Walpers (?) and Schauer belongs, 
however, to a different species, namely the South Chinese Calli- 

carpa ise tinied in Index Fl. Sin. ii. 255 (1890) as Cc. tomentosa 
Willd. It has the characteristic calyx-lobes of this South Chin- 
ese plant" [which is now known as C. kochiana Mak.] 

Kuntze (1891) regarded C. roxburghii Wall. as distinct from C. 
macrophylla and listed "C. tomentosa W. non L." as a synonym of C Cc. 
roxburghii. This confusion was due to the situation explained by 
Fischer and Sprague in the above-quoted memorandum. We regard C. 
tomentosa Willd. as a synonym of C. kochiana and C. tomentosa L. 
as a synonym of C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. Sprengel (1828) regarded 
C. incana Roxb. as a valid species, but in his 1825 work he placed 
it in the synonymy of what he called "C. lanata" [=C. tomentosa]. 

It should perhaps be pointed out here that the C. tomentosa 
accredited to Thunberg in the synonymy given above is a synonym 
of C. longifolia Lam., that accredited to Bakhuizen van den Brink 
is in part C. arborea Roxb. and in part C. integerrima Champ., 
that accredited to Lamarck and to "L. ex - Spreng." is C. candicans 
(Burm. f.) Hochr., that ascribed to "L. ex Moldenke" is C. erio- erio- 
clona Schau., that ascribed to "Auct.", to Hooker & Arnott, to 
Willdenow, to "sensu auct. Japon.", to "sensu Matsum.", and to 
"sensu Matsum. & Hayata" is C. kochiana Mak., while that accred- 
ited to Murray, to "L. ex Willd.", and to "(L.) Santapau" is the 
true C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. 

The C. cana ascribed to Dalzell & Gibson is a synonym of C. 
tomentosa (L.) Murr., that ascribed to Linnaeus, to Sprengel, and 
to Vahl is C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr., and that seis to 
Wallich is in part C. longifolia Lam. and in part C. unculata 
R. Br. The C. incana (Turcz.) Moldenke, also pk = "(F.) 
Moldenke" by ¢ certain | authors, is actually C. cubensis Urb. The 
C. roxburghii ascribed to H. J. Lam, to Schauer, to "Wall. ex 
Schau.", to "Wall. ex Walp.", and to "sensu H. ae Lam" is C. 
kochiana Mak, The C. macrophylla var. sinensis C. B. Clarke is a 
synonym of C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn. 

Watt (1889) tells us that C. macrophylla is "A tall shrub of 
Northern and Eastern India, found as far north as Hazara, and as- 
cending the Himalaya to 6000 feet, and abundant in Bengal....In 
Haz4ra the heated leaves are applied to rheumatic joints (whence 
the name bé-pattra, from bé, rheumatism)." This Watt reference is 
cited by Prain (1963) as "E. D. c. 133" — 133 being a paragraph 
number! Groff also tells us that the species is "used in the pre- 


22h Po LPO Lioiaers Vol. 21,. nowem 


paration of a medicine used for injuries" in Kwangsi, China. 

Datta (1965) states that the plant is found in village shrubberies 
in India; Prain (1903) asserts categorically that it is found "In 
all the provinces" of Bengal — presumably both Indian and Pakis- 
tani Bengal. Balakrishnan (1964) affirms that it grows naturally 
from Kashmir to Assam in northern India and to Pegu in Burma, as- 
cending to 2000 meters altitude, its white fruit rendering it 
quite distinct from C. arborea Roxb., with its purplish-black 
fruit, and from C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. Maheshwari (1963) distin- 
guishes it from C. longifolia Lam. by pointing out that in C. lon- 
gifolia the leaves are "thinly stellate-pubescent; corolla more or 
less pubescent outside", while in C. macrophylla the leaves are 
"densely stellate-woolly beneath; corolla glabrous outside or with 
some hairs." 

Bojer (1837) records C. macrophylla as cultivated in Mauritius 
and Humbert insists that the Madagascar record for the species is 
also based on cultivated material. It is therefore probable that 
the Réunion record given below is also from cultivated material, 
although the label of the specimen does not indicate this to be 
the case. I assume that the Brazilian record is also taken from 
cultivated material, even though, again, the label does not in- 
dicate such a fact. 

Dahlgren (1938), for some reason unknown to me, places this 
genus and species in the Lamiaceae! 

Common and vernacular names recorded for C. macrophylla in- 
clude "bannu", "b4-pattra", "b'a-pattra", "bauna", "budhi ghasit", 
"budhi-ghasit", "daid", "daidogoro", "daya", "dea", "den",

name "shiwali" is also applied to C. arborea Roxb. 

Alleged references to this species in Baden Powell, "Pb. Pr. 
571", “Asiat. Res. 55: 23g", and "Kanjilal For. Fl. 263" have not 
yet been verified by me. 

Panigrahi and his associates (1964) record the species as com 
mon in Orissa; Rao (1964) records it from Uttar Pradesh; Stewart 
(1967) records it from Swat. Deb (1961) cites Deb 154 from Mani- 
pur. Santapau, in a letter to me dated February 16, 1948, says 
that this species "occurs in the Deccan, fide Clarke. The plant 
seems to be common in N. and E. India, only occasionally else- 
where; I have seen no specimens from Bombay Presidency". Kita- 
mura (1959) cites his collections from Halchok, altitude 1500 
meters, July 31, 1953, and from Arughat Bazar, altitude 62) me- 
ters, December 10, 1952, in Nepal, and gives the overall distri- 
bution of the species as "Himalaya, India, Burma, China: Yunnan, 
Szechuan, Kwangtung, Hainan; Siam, Indo-China, New-Guinea, Mas— 
carenes, Reunion". Kapoor and his associates (1969) report the 
isolation of an alkaloid from C. macrophylla. Gillis 857) was

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 227 


being much branched and having leaves which are much smaller, 
fuscous-woolly, obscurely stellate beneath, and ultimately glab- 
rate, according to Clarke (1885). 

The type of the variety was collected by William Griffith (no. 


6041) in Bhutan, where it appears to be endemic. Clarke says 
that it "Differs a good deal in habit from C. macrophylla, but 


connected by E. Nepal specimens collected by Sir J. D. H.[ooker]". 
The taxon is known to me only from the literature.

Shrub or small tree; branches terete or somewhat compressed at 
the nodes, pale-grayish, glabrous, about 6 mm. in diameter; 
branchlets reddish-brown, densely fulvous-tomentose with rather 
soft plumose and stellate hairs; leaves decussate-opposite; peti- 
oles about 5 cm. long, densely tomentose; leaf-blades subcoria- 
ceous, broadly elliptic-ovate, 22--27 cm. long, 17-20 cm. wide, 
shortly and broadly acuminate at the apex, entire along the mar- 
gins or very obscurely and remotely denticulate near the apex, 
broadly rounded or sometimes subacute at the base, olivaceous, 
glabrous and shiny above, paler and densely fulvous-tomentose 
with rather soft plumose and stellate hairs beneath, not at all 
glandulose; secondaries about 10 per side, very prominent; terti- 
aries subparallel, distinct; cymes in the axils of the fallen 
leaves, about 6 cm. long and to 9 cm. wide in fruit; bractlets 
linear, 3--5 mm. long, pubescent; flowers not known; fruiting- 
calyx membranous, cupuliform, about 3 mm. long, the rim shortly 
4-lobed; fruit globose, about 3 mm. in diameter, glabrous, nearly 
surrounded by the densely fulvous-tomentose greatly enlarged disk 
which is subglobose and to 10 mn. in diameter. 

The type of this remarkable species was collected by Maximo 
Ramos and Gregorio E. Edafio [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 37563] in 
forests at an altitude of about 1200 meters on Mount Masingit, in 
Kalinga Subprovince, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on February 17, 
1920, and was deposited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science 
at Manila, but is now destroyed. The native vernacular name of 
“Yagnai" is recorded for the plant. 

Merrill (1922) says that "This species is remarkable for its 
greatly enlarged, densely fulvous-tomentose disk which surrounds 
and nearly incloses the fruit, a character that is unknown to me 
for any other described species of the genus. It is further re- 
markable for its unusually large leaves which are eglandular and 
densely tomentose on the lower surface." Quisumbing & Merrill

230 PHYTO L:OG1A Vol. 21, no. 4 


5--8 cm. long and wide, compound, widely dichotomous, many-

This species was based by King and Gamble on H. N. Ridley 2787 
from Selangor and on Derry 1005 and Maingay 1192 -- in whose honor 


it was named -- from Malacca, as cotypes. These authors aay in 

their original description (1908) "In Kew Herbarium, Maingay's 

specimen has been placed under C. arborea, but the species differs 
in many respects. The venation of the leaves is very different, 
as is the tomentum of much smaller stellate hairs; the leaves are 
nearly blunt; the tube of the corolla much longer, and its lobes 
much shorter; and we have no hesitation in describing it as a new 
species." In their key they distinguish the two species about as 
follows: 

1. Leaf-blades long-acuminate at the apex, the tomentum thick; 
cymes dense; corolla-tube only about .075 inch long, merely 
PUDETULOUS sicice csc so cece ee ccees cesses cceeeeeeCe arborea Roxb. 

la. Leaf-blades obtuse or very shortly acuminate at the apex, the 
tomentum thin; cymes spreading; corolla-tube .1 inch long, 
stellate-pubescent.........+++++---C. maingayi King & Gamble. 

Lam (1919) distinguishes the present taxon from C. subalbida 

Elm. as follows: as

He cites a Derry s.n. from Hulu Chembong and a Cantley sen. from 

Selangor, and sa: says 3 "Selangor, Sempang Track, Semangkok Pass; Ulu 

Gombak Road; Langat. Native names: Poko chulak; tuto putih. Use: 

wood for making fiddles." Other common names recorded for the 

plant are "balek angin laut", "chulak", "hu khawi khao", "mendapor'? 

"tampang besi, "tulo", Mtutok puteh", and "tutor", 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 231 


The species has been found scattered in evergreen jungles at 
100 meters altitude, flowering in April, May, and November. The 
corollas are described as "white" on Bunkird 85 and Singapore 
Field No. 16051 and as "yellowish" on Snan 210; Ridley calls them 
"greenish". 

It is worth noting that Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) regard- 
ed C, maingayi as a synonym of C. tomentosa (L.) Murr., while 
Fletcher (1938) regarded Cc. tomentosa var. typica Bakh. as a syn- 
onym of C. maingayi.

Tree, * about 10 m. tall, most of its parts (except the upper 
surface of the adult leaves) more or less yellow-glandular and 
stellate-plumose-pubescent, the indumentum dark-brown or dark 
grayish-brown in color; branches terete, the younger ones more 
or less compressed, yellow-glandulose, the younger parts densely 
stellate-plumose-pubescent; branchlets brown or gray, stellate- 
hairy, densely glandulose; leaves decussate-opposite; petioles 
2--2.5 cm. long, very densely stellate-pubescent with brown or 
gray hair, densely glandulose; leaf-blades subcoriaceous, oblong 
to oblong—ovate, 12=-16 cm. long, 5--6 cm. wide, about equally 
narrowed to the acuminate apex and the acute base, entire along 
the margins, more or less stellate-pubescent above when young, 
becoming glabrous or nearly glabrous in age, brownish-olivaceous 
and slightly shiny above, paler and with numerous scattered 
pale-yellow shiny glands beneath and also stellate-pubescent, 
more densely so on the midrib and secondaries and with only scat- 
tered stellate hairs on the lamina; secondaries about 9 per side, 
upwardly curvate, anastomosing, prominent beneath; inflorescence 
cymose, in the upper leaf-axils, solitary, 7--8 cm. in diameter, 
densely many-flowered, dichotomously branched; peduncles stout, 
about 8 cm. long, these along with the bracts, bractlets, and

calyxes densely stellate-plumose-pubescent, the indumentum almost 
obscuring the scattered shiny pale-yellow glands; bracts oblance-— 
olate-spatulate, 6--8 mm. long; bractlets similar but much small- 
er; calyx somewhat infundibular, about 3 mm. long, its rim equal- 
ly 4-toothed or -lobed, the lobes short and acute; corolla white, 
6—-7 mm. long, sparingly glandulose outside with small yellow 
shiny glands, the lobes , subequal, oblong-ovate, 3--3.5 mn. 
long, broadly rounded at the apex, sparingly stellate-pubescent 
in lines and glandulose externally on the median portion; fila- 
ments 7—-8 mm. long; anthers ovoid, about 1.2 mm. long, somewhat 
glandulose on the back; ovary ovoid, very densely covered with 
small shiny pale-yellow glands. 

The type of this species was collected by Richard Crittenden 
McGregor [Philip. Bur. Sci. 19687] on Mount Polis, in Ifugao Sub- 
province, Luzon, Philippine Islands, and was deposited in the 
herbarium of the Bureau of Science at Manila, but is now destroy- 
ed. Merrill (1915) comments that the species is "Probably most 
closely allied to Callicarpa subglandulosa Elm., but differing 
from that species in many characters. Callicarpa megalantha is 
remarkable for its comparatively large flowers which are indica- 
ted by the collector as being white, a color otherwise unknown or 
at least very rare in the genus, its long-peduncled cymes, and 
its dark-brown or dark grayish-brown indumentum." 

The species appears to be endemic to Luzon. Lam (1919) also 
avers that "Its affinity is with C. subglandulosa {now known as 
Geunsia pentandra (Roxb.) Merr.]; it has, however, leaves with 
an attenuate base, whilst C. subglandulosa has leaves with a 
somewhat rounded base." A common name recorded for it is 
"“palayan". It has been found blooming in February and September, 
and fruiting in September. 

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces the species to synonymy 
under what he calls C. pentandra var. typica f. hexandra Bakh. 
[=Geunsia hexandra (Teijsm. & Binn.) Koord.]. Material has been 
misidentified and distributed in herbaria under that name. In 
all, 5 herbarium specimens have been examined by me.

Kwangsi, China, and deposited in the herbarium of the Botanical 
Institute of Sunyatsen University, Canton, China. Chang cites 
also S. H. Chun 2800 from Hunan and compares the species (in Chin-

Merrill 8115 has extra large leaf-blades. 

Merrill (1915) notes that "The species has been confused with 
Callicarpa caudata Maxim., and C. longifolia Lam., and is mani- 
festly allied to the former, differing in its very different in- 
dumentum. It is apparently more closely allied to C. stenophylla 
Merr., than to C. caudata, but is distinguished from the former by 
its broader leaves. Among the extra-Philippine forms it is ap- 
parently most closely allied to Callicarpa longifolia Lam., dif- 
fering in its indumentum, shape of its leaves, and in details of 
its flowers." He cites as typical material of C. merrillii the 
following collections: Basilan: DeVore & Hoover 1, Hallier s.n. 
Mindanao: Mrs. Clemens s.n. [Camp Keithley], Fénix s.n. [Herb. 
Philip. Bur. Sci. 15802], E. D. Merrill 8115, C. B. Robinson s.n. 
(Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 11802], R. S. Williams 2307. Mindoro: E. 
D. Merrill 5556. Ticao: W. W. Clark s.n. (Herb. Philip. Forest 
Bur. 253]. 

In my opinion, the species is most closely related to C. caudata 
Maxim. Lam (1919) agrees, saying "Its affinity is with C. caudata, 
from which it differs, however, by the obtuse base of the leaves, 
and in some other points." Actually, the simple hairs on the lower 
leaf-surface, seen very plainly on Elmer 10375 and on Herb. Philip. 
Bur. Sci. 37388, 38816, & )601, constitute the quickest and easi- 
est way to distinguish C. merrillii from C. caudata. In the aatter 
species the pubescence is stellate everywhere. Callicarpa merril- 
1ii — named in honor of Elmer Drew Merrill (1876—1956), who first 
recognized it -—- is also related to C. stenophylla Merr. and, more 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 235 


distantly, to C. longifolia Lam. It has been found growing along 
small brooks in forests at low altitudes, flowering from April to 
June and August to December, and fruiting in February, April, 
June, and August to December. Vernacular names recorded for it 
are "katonal", "palis", and "tigau". Bakhuizen van den Brink 
(1921) reduces it to synonymy under what he calls C. cuspidata 
Roxb. and cites the Ramos & Edafio s.n. [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 
44601] collection. I I regard C. cuspidata Roxb. as cospecific 
with C. pedunculata R. Br. 

It should be noted here that the C. lancifolia of Millspaugh, 
referred to in the synonymy above, is a valid West Indian species, 
while that of Pavon and of Sessé & Mocifio is C. acuminata H.B.K. 

Lam (1919) based his C. caudata var. simplicipuberula | on "Ler- 
rill 10375" fron Dumaguete in the Cuernos Mountains on eastern _ 
Negros, Philippine Islands, collected in June, 1908, but this is 
certainly an error in transcription for Elmer 10375. He describes 
the variety as "folia vix denticulata, subtus pilis simplicibus 
vestita", with young fruits in June. 

Material of C. merrillii has been misidentified and distributed 
in herbaria under the names C. caudata Maxim., C. cuspidata Roxb., 
and C. longifolia Lam. On the other hand, the Wi. W. Clark s.n. 
(Herb. Philip. Forest Bur. Hip ‘McClure 15899, | Mearns & Hutchin- 


Edafio eee (Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 49295], Ramos & Pasgasio s SNe 
{Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 34775], and R. S. Williams 2307, distrib- 
uted as C. merrillii, are actually C. caudata Maxim. 

In all, 19 herbarium specimens, including type material of one 
of the names involved, have been examined by me.

Shrub, 3 m. tall; trunk 10 cm. in diameter; branchlets slender, 
round, stellately farinose or tomentose; leaves decussate-oppo- 
site; petioles mm. long; leaf-blades chartaceous, ovate- 
lanceolate or lanceolate, 6 cm. long, 2 cm. wide, acutely acumin- 
ate at the apex, serrate along the margins except near the base, 
acute at the base, more or less densely pubescent with simple 
hairs above, stellate-tomentose and glandulose beneath; secon- 
daries 6—-8 pairs; inflorescence stellate- farinose or -tomentose, 
the cymes small, 2 cm. long; peduncles 5—10 mm. long; calyx 1— 
1.5 mm. long, somewhat stellate-pubescent and glandulose, its rim 
with subacute deltoid teeth; corolla white or violet-pink, 3 mm. 
long, sparsely pubescent, with ), lines of glands along the tube 
and on the lobes, the lobes 1—-1.5 mm. long; stamens yellow, ex- 
serted, i—l.5 mm. long; anthers ellipsoid, densely glandulose on 
both sides; style 5.5 m. long; stigma capitate; ovary densely 
glandular on the upper half, glabrous on the lower half; fruiting- 
calyx and fruit not known. 

The type of this species was collected by Hugh Cuming (no. 
1165) in the province of Albay, Luzon, Philippine Islands. This 
is the only collection cited by Vidal y Soler on page 13) of his 
work (1885), where he designated the binomial as "n. sp." On 
pages 187--188 he adds "Herb. Prop. 161 Prov. Abra", Lam (1919) 
cites a Cuming s.n. from Luzon, deposited as sheet number 908. 
158--383 in the Rijksherbarium at Leiden, as well as a "Com. d. 
1. fl. for. d. Fil. no. 1641, Abra". He also cites, with a 
question, a "Teysmann, H. Bog. no. 892" from Tanini, Timor, and 
notes "The doubtful specimen: Korthals in H. L.-B. sub no. 908. 
265—958, gives no locality". 

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces this species to syno- 
nymy under what he calls C. cuspidata Roxb. I regard Roxburgh's 
name as belonging in the synonymy of C. pedunculata R. Br. 

It is not at all certain that C. micrantha may not prove, after 
all, when type material is available for study, to be conspecific 
with some other taxon. The Ramos & Edafio s.n. (Herb. Philip. Bur. 


Sci. 4561], distributed as C. micrantha, matches perfectly the 
type collection of C. elegans Hayek and therefore is regarded by 
me as representing the latter species, while Ramos & Edafio s.n. 
(Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 46955] is C. formosana f, angustata 
Moldenke. Callicarpa micrantha actually is a taxon known to me 


only from the literature listed above. It represents only one 
of the many problems that still mst be solved before a formal 
monograph of the genus, with a key to accepted taxa, can be pub-

Shrub or small tree, 2—5 m. tall; stems to 5 cm. in diameter; 
branches slender, spreading in horizontal fashion, subterete or 
very obsoletely tetragonal, occasionally slightly flattened at 
the nodes, glabrous, with gray bark; branchlets very slender, te- 
rete, grayish-brown or dark-purple, densely furfuraceous-pubes- 
cent or short-tomentose with sordid many-branched hairs; inter- 
nodes usually abbreviated, 1—-3.5 cm. long, occasionally to 6.5 
cm. long; leaves decussate-opposite; petioles slender, 3--7 m,. 
long, densely pubescent or tomentose; leaf-blades membranous or 
chartaceous, herbaceous, often somewhat darker green above than 
beneath, varying from lanceolate to oblong or elliptic, ).5--12 
em. long, 1.6--5.3 cm. wide, long-acuminate or caudate at the a- 
pex, rather sharply and irregularly serrate along the margins ex- 
cept on the acumination and at the base, rounded to a very obtuse 
or truncate (or rarely acute) base, densely short—pubescent or 
pilose above, densely farinaceous-pubescent with sordid and more 
or less stellate hairs beneath; midrib slender, prominent heneath; 
secondaries very slender, 5--7 per side, ascending, not very ar- 
cuate, usually obscure above, hardly at all or but very slightly 
prominulent beneath; vein and veinlet reticulation fine and deli- 
cate, usually obscure; inflorescence axillary; cymes usually soli- 
tary, rarely paired, opposite, 1-—-2 cm. long and wide, rather 
few-flowered, often only once furcate, not branched, conspicuously 
bracteolate; peduncles very slender, {—9 mm. long, pubescent or 
pilose; pedicels very slender, 1—3 mm. long, pubescent or pilose; 
bractlets linear, to 10 m. long and 2 m. wide; flower-buds 
dark-purple; flowers fragrant; calyx extraordinarily large, 
spreading campanmulate-infundibular, 5--7.3 mm. long in all, 5 or 
more mm. wide, densely tomentose with irregularly branched hairs, 
its rim very deeply -fid, the divisions lanceolate, about 3.2 m. 
long, sharply acute at the apex; corolla hypocrateriform, purple 
or orchid-purple to mallow-pink, its tube broadly cylindric, 3.9— 
4.7 mm. long, very much ampliate above, the limb h-parted, the 
lobes ovate-lingulate, about 2.6 mm. long and 1.9 m. wide, blunt 
at the apex, venose; stamens , inserted at the base of the 
corolla-tube, exserted; filaments filiform, 4--5.3 mm. long, gla- 
brous; anthers large, oblong, about 2.1 mm. long and 1.1 m. 
wide; pistil exserted and surpassing the stamens; style capillary, 
about 8.3 mm. long, glabrous, ampliate above into the stigma; 
stigma depressed-capitate, about 0.8 mm. wide; ovary subglobose, 
about 0.8 mm. long and wide, granulose-pulverulent, l-celled; 
fruit purple or purplish-lilac to orchid-purple, purplish even 
when young, glossy. 

The type of this species was collected by Philipp Franz von 
Siebold in Japan, not by "K. Th. E. von Siebold and J. G. Zuccar- 
ini" as erroneously stated in Fedde, Repert. Spec. Nov. 0: 116 
(1936). Some recent collectors refer to the leaves as "opaque 
above" or "opaque on both sides", but what is meant by these state- 
ments is not clear to me. The corollas are described as "purple" 
on Charette 1738 and S. Suzuki SI.55, "mallow-pink" on Yamozaki 


34, and "orchid-purple" on Charette 156).

The species has been found growing in forests, summer~green 
forests, and deciduous broad-leaved forests, copses and thickets, 
damp woods, open borders and roadsides, and in humus in half- 
shade on mountainsides, at the base of and borders of ravines, 
and on open forested banks, at altitudes of 20 to 1000 meters, 
flowering from May to August and in November, fruiting in June, 
August, October, and November. Vernacular and common names re- 
corded for it are "chobsalnam", "kaipinam", "ko isi wara", 
"kottsabinam", "namainoki", "waichhaarige Schénfrucht", Nyabu- 
murasaki", "yabumurasaki", * nyabu-murasakishukibu", tyahumurasaki", 
and "yama-murasaki". 

Suzuki tells us that the spectes is occasional in the shrub 
layer in sunny, moderately humid, windy, loam soil, with human 
disturbance, in deciduous oak forests. Wilson reports it "common" 
on Quelpart Island. Yamozaki says that it is "used as a garden 
tree" on Shikoku. Bean (1951) avers that it was introduced into 
cultivation [in England] in 1863. Li (1963) says that "It was 
first introduced by Richard Oldham in 1861—63 to Kew. It is 
still raised at Kew in a sheltered spot but is not as hardy nor as 
handsome as C. Bodinieri var. Giraldii. It is not certain whether 
the plant at present is in cultivation in America." The Herb. 
Bogor. 18099 collection, cited below, bears no indication on its 
label that it came from cultivated material, but this seems most 
probable. 

A hybrid between C. mollis Sieb. & Zucc. and C. japonica Thunb. 
is known as xC. shirasawana Mak. This and its synonyms, C. mol- 
iis Shirasawa and C. mollis x japonica Schneid., are often m placed 
in the synonymy of C C. mollis (as, for example, by Bakhuizen van 
den Brink in 1921 and by me - me in my earlier publications), but are 
discussed separately herein. The illustration given by Shirasawa 
(1895) as C. mollis represents the hybrid instead. 

It is worth noting here that the Miquel (1865) reference given 
in the synonymy and bibliography above is dated "1866" by Bakhui- 
zen van den Brink (1921), that of Masamune (1955) is often cited 
as volume "6", and that Of Siebold & Zuccarini (1846) as "(1): 

526. 184", which is definitely not correct, the "526" being the 
species number and not the page number, and "18h; is the date for 
part 1 of this work. The C. mollis of Koorders, referred to in 
the same synonymy above, is a syno synonym of C. henasie Maxim., that 
of Matsumura is C. oshimensis var. okinawensis (Nakai) Hatus., 
that of Shirasawa is xf. shirasawana Mak., while that of Requien 
and of Willdenow is C. - acuminata H.B.K., and the C. farinosa of 
Roxburgh is C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. 

The description of C. mollis by Siebold & Zuccarini (1846) is 
worth repeating here because it is not available in many libraries 
in the original: "ramis teretibus novellis canescentibus, foliis

sae. Stylus cylindricus stamina parum superans, stigmate incras- 
sato truncato. Variat floribus pentameris pentandris." 

Nakai (1923) describes the plant as "Frutex 3—5 metralis ra- 
mosus. Ramus juvenilis viridis stellulato-subvelutino-tomentosus. 
Petioli 3—10 mm. longi stellulato tomentosi. Lamina ovata v.

stellato-tomentosis. Corolla dilute purpurea extus pubescens. 
Antherae ellipticae glandulosae. Fructus dilute purpureus dia- 
metro 5 mm." 

Li (1963) describes it as a "Shrub, 2--5 m. tall, much- 
branched, the branchlets densely stellate-tomentose. Leaves obo- 
vate-clliptic to oblong-lanceolate, the apex acuminate, the base 
rounded, the margins serrulate, sparsely tomentose above, stel- 
late-tomentose beneath, glandular on both surfaces; petioles 3— 
10 mm. long. Cymes axillary, short—peduncled or nearly sessile, 
densely flowered, the peduncles as long as the petiole, stellate- 
tomentose; calyx deeply l-lobed, stellate-tomentose; corolla 
lilac-pink, glandular outside; stamens not exceeding the corolla 
lobes. Fruit globose, dull purple, about Sm. across." 

Kriissmann (1960) says "Xhnlich c. bodinieri, aber Zweige mehr 
halbstrauchig, ganz dicht weich behaart. Blatter elliptisch bis 
langlich-lanzettlich, lang zugespitzt, 5-10 cm lang, oberseits 
stumpfgriin, unterseits dick sternhaarig, gezahnt . Bluten rosa. 
Staubblatter so lang wie die Kronabschnitte. Frichte trublila. — 
1863. N.T.1: 57; N.K. 1h: t. 9. Kaum ausreichend winterhart, 
auffallend durch die starke Behaarung." 

It should be noted that the name, Callicarpa mollis, is not 
precluded for this taxon under the present International Rules of 
Botanic Nomenclature because the C. mollis of Willdenow, effect- 
ively published ) years earlier, was published in synonymy only 
and is therefore not regarded as having been published validly. 

Masamune (1955) includes in the synonymy of C. mollis the name 
"Callicarpa japonica Thunb." of Tasiro (189), but with a question. 


2h2 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, now & 


He also regards the "C. mollis" of Matsumura (1899 & 1912, inso- 
far as Ryukyu specimens are concerned), Kuroiwa (1900, in part), 
Wilson (1920), and Sakaguchi (192)) as referring to C. oshimensis 
var. okinawensis. 

Sugawara (1969) tells us that the true C. mollis grows in the 
shrub layer in plantations of Cryptomeria japonica. Ohwi (1965) 
provides us with a key to the Japanese species of the genus, for 
which see under C. dichotoma in the present series of notes. 

As to the natural geographic distribution of C. mollis, Nakai 
(1923) says "Hondo, Shikoku et Kiusiu", Li (1963) says "This spe- 
cies is native to japan and Korea", Masamune (1955) says "Tangge- 
sima; Kurosima; Yakusima; Iriomote; Honsyu; Sikoku;j, Kyusyu; Tai- 
wan; Corea", and Ohwi (1965) says "Honshu (Rikuchu Prov. and 
southw.), Shikoku, Kyushu. -— Korea". Hara (1958) unites var. 
microphylla sieb. *& Zucc. with the typical form of the species 
and gives the combined distribution as "Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, and 
Formosa", 

Actually, I have found no specimens among those examined by me 
that were really collected in the Ryukyu Islands. The so-called 
records from these islands as given by Matsumura and Masamune are 
probably based on misidentifications of material that will prove 
to have been C. oshimensis Hayata and/or C. oshimensis var. irio- 
motensis (Masam.) Hatus. and C. oshimensis var. okinawensis (Na- 
kai) Hatus. 

Miquel (1870) cites Burger 5 [specimens?], Siebold  [speci- 
mens?], Textor 3 [specimens?], Maximowicz 1 (specimen? ], Oldham 1 
[specimen?], Mohnike 1 [specimen?], and C. Wright 1 (specimen? ] . 

Material of C. mollis has been misidentified and distributed 
in herbaria under the names C. cuspidata Roxb., C. japonica Thunb,, 
C. kochiana Mak., and Elaeagnus glabra Thunb. On the other hand, 
the Oldham 620, distributed as C. mollis, is actually C. japonica

In all, 115 herbarium specimens and 3 mounted photographs of C.

An overview of the Hookeriales 
Harvey A. Miller 


University of I1llingis 
Urbana, Illinois 


The Hookeriales have been considered to be one of the 


more homogeneous orders of mosses. Suborders Ephemeropsidineae 


(= Nematacineae) and Hookeriineae have been distinguished 
for many years on the basis of the gametophyte being reduced 
to a protonema bearing sexual buds in the first and a normal 
leafy gametophyte in the second. The common bond within the 
order is based almost entirely on the usually small, often 
roughened, sporophyte with a double peristome, the conical 

to mitriform, often fringed, calyptra, a comparatively lax 
areolation and an absence of alar cells. The "hookeriaceous" 
peristome is usually characterized by a lamellate exostome 
somewhat taller than the endostome with its low to medium 
basal membrane and simple processes which are only rarely 
separated by a single cilium. As Crosby (1969) correctly 
observed of the Hookeriaceae as defined by Brotherus (1925), 
"one finds no character or group of characters that unite 

the group." However, one can find an aggregate of features 
among groups of genera which can be aligned to show a common 
heritage even though not all are present in any single genus 
or group of allied genera. Welch (1966, 1969) has considered 
the Hookeriaceae in the broad sense. 


The acknowledged heterogeneity of the Hookeriaceae as 
defined by Brotherus can be better understood if we recognize 
that his description and arrangement is essentially an 
abridgement of Fleischer's system presented in 1908. The 
success of Fleischer's system for the mosses is due to his 
acceptance of the concepts of evolution, as known at that 
time, and their application to develop an arrangement on 
something other than an artificial basis. Bessey's "dicta" 
presented in 1915 indicating the importance of reduction as 
one aspect of evolutionary advancement had not yet appeared 
in a refined form, so we find that, for the most part, the 
taxa have been placed in a simple to complex order. Further,

great stress was placed on the structure of the peristome 
and the morphology of the gametophyte was considered to be 
of somewhat lesser importance. If both sporophytic and 
gametophytic structures are taken into account, and if we 
allow reduction as an indication of advancement, the 
Hookeriaceae can be rearranged into several comparatively 
homogeneous groups with a common heritage. 


Because the reorganization proposed differs considerably 
in some ways from the Fleischer-Brotherus system, my 
principles of classification are listed below. In utilizing 
the principles the following general premises, derived in 
the main from Hutchinson (1959), must be taken into account: 
1) evolution is both upwards and downwards, the latter 
involving degradation and degeneration; 2) evolution does 
not involve all organs, or both generations, at the same time 
and both elaboration and degeneration may be occurring at 
the same time; and 3) evolution has generally been consistent 
with a particular tendency potentially being carried to the 
extreme of elaboration or reduction although the extremes 
may not be present in extant groups. 


Some Principles for Moss Systematics 


N.B. The principles are arranged from general to 
specific features, but no relative importance is to be 
implied from the order. 


1. Within any group, the larger mosses are generally 
more primitive than smaller ones. 


2. Closely attached forms with all stems leafy are more 
primitive than stoloniferous forms. 


3. Perennial mosses are more primitive than the annual 
or ephemeral species including those with a 
persistent protonema. 


4. Both completely aquatic and xerophytic forms are 
derived from an aerial, but almost constantly moist, 
ancestor. 


5. A central strand in the stem is a primitive feature.

Miller, Hookeriales 25 


Stems with a several-layered cortex comprised of 
thick-walled or stereid cells are more primitive 
than stems with a unistratose or undifferentiated 
cortex. 


Leaf gaps are a primitive feature. 


Radial leaf arrangement is more primitive than 
distichous arrangement with the complanate 
condition probably intermediate. 


A strong costa is more primitive than a weak one 
with the ecostate condition most derived. 


An excurrent costa is an advanced characteristic 
sometimes associated with blade reduction. 


Well developed alar cells may be an advanced 
condition. 


Smooth leaf cells may be primitive with papillate~ 
cells the derived condition. 


Extremely thin-walled or thick-walled cells are 
derived. 


Specialized vegetative reproduction by brood-bodies 
is more advanced than vegetative propagation by 
simple fragmentation and regeneration. 


Monoicous sexuality is more primitive than the 
dioicous condition. 


Numerous gametangia and paraphyses are more primitive 
than few archegonia or antheridia per inflorescence. 


Sexual dimorphism, expressed in the extreme by the 
formation of dwarf males and the heterosporous 
tendency, as in some species of Macromitrium and 
Homalothecium, is advanced. 


An elongate seta bearing an exposed capsule is more 
primitive than a short seta with an immersed capsule. 


A capsule wall with stomata, especially when associated 
with air chambers, represents a more primitive 
condition than the capsule lacking stomata.

20. Cleistocarpy is probably a derived condition in 
the Bryidae. 


21. A reduced endostome lacking processes on the basal 
membrane is advanced over one with processes and a 
high basal membrane; the presence of cilia may also 
be advanced. 


22. A peristome which is very much reduced or absent 
is derived from a normal peristome. 


23. Retention of the operculum or a portion of it on 
the columella is an advanced condition. 


Several taxonomically useful morphological variants are 
not included above because I have been unable to divine the 
relative conditions of such things as leaf borders, lamellae, 
cell shapes, paraphyllia, plane vs. keeled structures, single 
vs. double peristomes, acrocarpy vs. pleurocarpy (there is 
good evidence both ways), calyptra type, and a multitude of 
structural features of the peristome such as median lines, 
surface, striations, and accessory ornamentation. Surely 
the list may be substantially revised, but if it serves to 
stimulate development of a better classification and 
critical morphological research, the purpose will have been 
well served. 


As defined until Crosby's (1969) Pilotrichum revision 
appeared, the Hookeriineae was comprised of the Pilotrichaceae, 
Hookeriaceae, and the Hypopterygiaceae. Because he found 
little difference between Pilotrichum and Helicoblepharum 
or among Thamniopsis, Pilotrichidium and Diploneuron, Crosby 
merged the Pilotrichaceae with the Hookeriaceae. He apparently 
was correct in his evaluation of the generic relationships 
of Pilotrichum with members of the Hookeriaceae as defined 
at that time. If we consider the position of Pilotrichum 
and its allied species within the order, it is among the more 
primitive types and quite distinct from all but a few genera 
customarily included in the Hookeriaceae-Hypnelloideae. In 
such a case it seems best to set this group apart as the 
family Pilotrichaceae and to arrange the genera within it in 
as natural a sequence as possible. 


From some Pilotrichaceous type, one may derive the 
Hookeriaceae-Hookeriopsidoideae with a long double costa, 
elongate seta, complanate foliage, and a pinnate habit. This, 
in turn, mainly by reduction of the costa and seta along with 


1971 Miller, Hookeriales 


the developinent of comparatively lax areolation, leads to 
the Hookeriaceae-Hookerioideae. 


The Hookerioideae, perhaps through a common ancestor 
to Eriopus, link to the Distichophyllaceae characterized 
by the asymmetric, bordered, once costate, parenchymatous 
more or less isodiametrically areolate leaves and the cross- 
striate peristome. Muller suggested that this group be 
recognized as the family Mniadelphaceae nearly 100 years 
ago but no description was included so his name cannot 
stand. 


The Daltoniaceae resemble the Distichophyllaceae in 
the bordered leaves with a single costa and isodiametric 
cells but differ in their smaller size, radial symmetry, 
uniform leaves, upright habit and their selection of 
ephemeral habitats as twigs, leaves, and even the backs of 
large weevils in the cloud forests of New Guinea. The 
peristome differs from others in the order in that both 
ranks are strongly papillose and well-developed with the 
exostome lacking striae. 


It is quite likely that Daltonia and Ephemeropsis have 
a common origin but the separation, as evidenced by the 
striate rather than papillose peristome, is great and doubt- 
less of long standing. Fossils of Ephemeropsis have been 
found in middle Eocene deposits from Germany suggesting that 
it was once more widely distributed than just to Malesia and 
New Zealand as at present. Continued recognition of the 
family in a separate suborder seems quite proper.

Although Fleischer and Brotherus placed the Symphyodontaceae 


and Leucomiaceae in the Hookeriales, Dixon (1932) assigned 
them to the Hypnales (assuming that "Symphysodontaceae" is 
a mis-print or lapsus for Symphyodontaceae). The morphology 
of the gametophyte is suggestive of Vesicularia and allied 


Hypnaceous genera but the evidence is not clear. Unfortunately, 
Dixon did not give any explanation for the shift which has not 


been taken up by Bartram (1939, 1949), Crum and Bartram 
(1958), or Crum and Steere (1957), for example. The leaves 
of Symphyodon have a few alar cells but the erect, spiny, 
AOS a capsule with simple papillose exostome teeth and a 
reduced endostome is quite unlike that characteristic of the 


Hypnaceae. Leucomium has a Hookeria-like peristome and shares 


the very large thin-walled cells characteristic of Hookeria 
as well. Until some evidence can be offered to substantiate 
Dixon's opinion, I am satisfied that these families can be 
reasonably considered among the Hookeriales. 


24,8 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 


A specialized derivative, probably from the Distichophy]laceae, 
is the Hypopterygiineae comprised of the Hypopterygiaceae and 
the Cyathophoraceae. The complanate habit is carried to the 
extreme with the development of markedly different obliquely in- 
serted, wide-spreading, lateral leaves and reduced, transverse, 
erect, amphigastrial leaves. A stipe with widely spaced, often 
scale-like, leaves or a prostrate stoloniferous stem is 
developed. The very short to absent costa, regular alignment 
of the amphigastria, and very short seta serve to set off the 
Cyathophoraceae from the Hypopterygiaceae. 


In the following revision I have arranged the taxa so far 
as possible according to the principles listed above. As the 
positions of the genera are subject to various interpretations 
depending upon the importance placed on one feature or another, 
I have not attempted to further justify the sequence of genera 
as presented. Some groups remain heterogenous and may be 
defined ultimately in somewhat different ways.

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis angustioribus et

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
its leaf-blades being narrower, about 3 cm. long and 5—8 m. 
wide, and the peduncles shorter, 2—l.5 cm. long. 

The type of the variety was collected by Jo&%o Murga Pires, Nilo 
Tomaz da Silva, and R. Souza (no. 9652) in the cerrado between 
Brasilfa and Niquel&ndia, Distrito Federal, Brazil, on May 16, 
1963, and is deposited in my personal herbarium at Plainfield, 
New Jersey. The collectors describe the plant as a shrub, with 
the bracts "esverdeadas", and the corollas cream-color.

Small shrub, to 1 m. tall; branches and branchlets slender, 
smooth; leaves decussate-opposite, numerous, very small, petio- 
late; petioles extremely slender; leaf-blades chartaceous, uni- 
formly green on both surfaces, round or rounded-elliptic, 0.5—1.5 
cm. long and wide, glabrous on both surfaces, shiny, rounded or 
obtuse to subacute at the apex, entire along the margins, mostly 
rounded at the base, inconspicuously venose; inflorescence termin- 
al, very small, few-flowered, cymose, about 1.5 om. long and 1 cm. 
wide, its branches minutely puberulent; calyx cupuliform, about 2 
mm. long and wide, light-colored, pulverulent on the outside, its 
rim plainly 5-toothed. 

The type of this distinctive species was collected by André 
Guillaumin and M. G. Baumann-Bodenheim (no. 9615) on serpentine 
at the foot of Mount Kaféaté, New Caledonia, on December 22, 1950,

(no. 6476) in calcareous soil at the foot of Quen Toro near Nouméa, 
New Caledonia, on October 3, 1950, and is deposited in the Brit- 
ton Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden. The collector 
describes the plant as a bush, 30 cm. tall, and avers that it is 
merely a juvenile form of what he calls P. intgrifolia L. [now 
known as P. obtusifolia R. Br.]. This seems highly unlikely be- 


caule the latter has been collected in literally hundreds of 
widely scattered localities throughout the Pacific area, often 
with large series of specimens representing each collection, with 
never such a juvenile form found!

cm. long, slightly widened above, conspicuously 5-ribbed, densely 
puberulent on the outside, its rim shortly 5-toothed with deltoid- 
triangular teeth about 0.5 mm. long; corolla hypocrateriforn, 
metallic-blue, its tube slightly surpassing the calyx, the limb 
about 7 mm. wide, densely white-strigillose in the throat. 

The type of this species was collected by H. S. Irwin, S. F. 
da Fons8ca, R. Souza, R. Reis dos Santos, and J. Ramos (no. 28208) 
on outcrops in an area of campo, cerrado on outcrops, and wooded 
valleys, at an elevation of 1200 meters, about 3 km. north of 
SHo Jo#o Chapada, in the Serra do Espinhago, Minas Gerais, Bra- 
zil, on March 24, 1970, and is deposited in my personal herbarium 
at Plainfield, New Jersey. It is named in honor of the senior 
collector, who has done such noteworthy work on the flora of Guy- 
ana, Surinam, and Brazil and to whose labors we owe so much of 
our present knowledge of the flora of these areas.

This complete revision and fuller development of the first edi- 
tion of 1952 is a valuable contribution from the author who has 
spent his whole professional life developing this field. It isa 
well written, well developed and well illustrated treatment for 
each part and for the plant as a whole. "That plants exemplify 
the phenomenon of continued embryology cannot be denied: it is 
there as an evident fact of observation (the great ascending 
trunk of a giant Californian redwood may be the result of 3,000 
years of apical growth or continued embryology!)" 

The book is very neat, yet Allium is misspelled on p. 308 and 
induction on p. 313. 

I like the author's outlook:"The fruits of molecular biology, 
which are already remarkable and are growing with increasing ac- 
celeration, are of vital importance. But they can never be self- 
sufficient, for the growing plant has organizational characteris- 
tics not only at the molecular level, but also at the several 
higher levels -- cell, tissue, organ —- which we see in the har- 
moniously developed whole organism, as well as in its several 
specialized organs. For the same reason, there can never be a 
progressive botanical science based on a single branch of inqui- 
ry, be it morphology, physiology, genetics, ecology, etc. 

Botany — the science of plants — has a heritage from all its 
branches....Let us constantly seek new facts, liberating ideas, 
validating experiments and inferences of wide generality."

Each edition of this standard valuable work has been somewhat 
updated and freshly and richly illustrated. The twenty-two 
authors of this edition are well recognized in their respective 
fields of specialization. The book is well organized and dupli- 
cations, gaps, contradictions, and divergent styles of writing 
are all avoided. This is a real credit to the experienced edi- 
tor, who also authors five articles. 

The book is divided into eight parts carefully covering these 
topics: conservation in the United States with the concomitant 
economics, water use and abuse, mineral resources and fuels, grass-

land and forest resources, wild life including fish, recreation- 
al resources, urban and national planning, and the conservation 
of man himself. The illustrations on flooding and the United 
States soil maps and classifications are highlights of this 
edition. The format is attractive to and easy on the eyes. Just 
one slight printing error was noticed -—- the misspelling of vol- 
canig on p. 72. 

This text will continue to have considerable use throughont 
our campuses that are at all rbrally aware or oriented. It may 
be bypassed by urban-limited schools to the great loss of the

350 of Florida's best landscape plants from "Your Guide to Florida 
Landscape Plants" (1961) and from the companion volume on tropical 
exotics (1963). Each plant is illustrated with simple line draw- 
ings. The descriptive text for each is constructed after this 
outline: common and scientific names, family, type, identifying 
features, growth habit, foliage, flowers, fruits, landscape uses, 
habitat, light and soil requirements, salt tolerance, sources, 
culture, propagation and pests. There is a glossary and index.

Donald R, Windler* 


Over the last several years I have been engaged in studies 
of the North American species of Crotalaria related to 
Crotalaria sagittalis L, During these studies it became 
evident that some of the plants examined represented new taxa, 
In the text which follows, three species and two varieties are 
described for the first time, A third variety is transferred 
to a different species from the one under which it was origin- 
ally recognized, Dr, Robert H, Mohlenbrock, Southern Illinois

Miriam Wysong Meyer has prepared illustrations for each of the 
new species,

Crotalaria mexicana is a new species, the representatives 
of which were referred by Senn (1939) to C, sagittalis var, 
fruticosa (here treated as C, sagittalis var, agittalis), 
Crotalaria mexicana is most similar to C, sagittalis and C, 
quercetorum, It differs from C, sagittalis in its lack of 
stipules and absence of spreading pubescence and from C, 
quercetorum in its short thick peduncles and in its dense 
pubescence,

CROTALARTIA NITENS HBK, 1824, Vol. 6, p. 399, 


In North America Crotalaria nitens variety nitens is known 
only from the Mexican states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz, 
The plants of the species tend to be shrubby, have terminal 
inflorescences, lack decurrent stipules, and have relatively 
large flowers, Variety gracilis may be separated from variety 
nitens in the following way:

CROTALARIA ROTUNDIFOLIA [wait] Gmelin, 1792, Tome II, p, 1095, 


The plants which I have ascribed to this species were 
treated by Senn (1939) under two specific names: Crotalaria 
angulata and C, maritima, Senn listed the epithet rotundifolia 
as a synonym for “C, angu angulata Miller, Fernald and Schubert (1948) 
in publishing discussions of American types in British herbaria, 
indicated that the name C, rotundifolia actually applied to the 
plants Senn had treated as C. maritima, 


Figure 3, Crotalaria nayaritensis, A, Habit and leaf 
variation, B, Stem, 


26h, PHY Tf 0 LOOT &# Vol. 21, nos 


During the present study, the two taxa were judged to be 
cospecific, The earliest name which appeared to apply to the 
species was C, angulata, a name Miller had based on a plant 
grown from seed from Campeche, 


The application of this epithet is in question for. several 

reasons, 

1, Britten and Baker (1897) indicate the type does not 
differ from C, biflora L,, an Asian plant, This 
observation has been confirmed by Dr, Robson of the 
British Museum (Personal communication, Nov, 1968, 
in a letter to S, W, Leonard), 

2. No plants referrable to C, angulata of Senn have 
been observed from the vicinity of Campeche, 

3, Miller's description of C, angulata does not match 
the application of Senn or the available type in 
the Miller Herbarium, 


Since these points seem to indicate one or possibly more 
errors, I feel that the name should be rejected as a source of 
confusion (ICBN Articles 69 & 70), 


After rejection of Crotalaria angulata, the earliest 
name which applies to the plants of the species is C, rotundi- 
pete Walt.} Gmelin, Two varieties, based on Senn's species, 
C. angulata and C, maritima, are recognized, Crotalaria 
ee variety rotundifolia is the plant with appressed 
pubescence referred to C, maritima by Senn, The other variety 
is designated in the following way:

Crotalaria rotundifolia var, vulgaris is distinguished by 
its spreading pubescence, Over most of its range var. vulgaris 
is also characterized by round to oval leaves, but in northern 
Florida and southern Georgia it intergrades mith the usually 
narrower leaved var, rotundifolia,

Crotalaria bupleurifolia is characterized by its large size,

This variety was originally described by Senn under 
Crotalaria pilosa because of its stipules which wing the stem 
for more than one internode, However, the variety lacks the 
terminal inflorescence and small flower size of C, pilosa, 
Variety robusta's overall similarity to C, bupleurifolia var. 
bupleurifolia in habit, inflorescence, and flower structure 
were used to place the variety into C, bupleurifolia,

The Martius (1835) reference cited above is often cited as 
"1833", the date of its submission for publication, but Dr. J. H. 
Barnhart says "I can find no evidence that this paper was publish- 
ed until 1835". 

This species has been regarded as properly named E. septangu- 
lare With. up to the present in my publications. I have referred 
from time to time in the past to the name Cespa aquatica J. Hill, 


270 PE.Y T0406 LA Vol. 21, no. 4 


but was unable to find incontrovertible evidence that it had been 
published validly under the present rules of botanic nomenclature. 
Now, however, the matter has been investigated thoroughly by Dandy 
(1969) and his extremely important discussion of the matter:is re- 
produced here for the benefit of readers who may not have the 
journal in which he published his results available in their lib- 
rary: 

oein 1909 G. C. Druce drew attention to the existence in his 
copy of Hill's Herbarium Britannicum (vol. 1: 1769) of an addi- 
tional plate 66 illustrating, with dissections, a genus Cespa 
with the single species C. aquatica (‘Water Turffwort'). The The spe=- 
cies depicted was Eriocaulon septangulare, described under that 
name by Withering in 1776, and so Druce on grounds of priority 
published the new combination E. aquaticum (Hill) Druce. For some 
reason Druce in his later works did not persist in the use of the 
name E. aquaticum; thus in his British plant list ed. 2, 18 
(1928), he retained the name E. septangulare (with E. aquaticum 
cited as a synonym), and in his Comital Flora, 320 (1932), he used 
the name E. septangulare without mention of E E. aquaticum. Possibly 
he now thought his combination E. aquaticum “to be invalidated by 


E. aquaticum Sagot ['Mss. in Herb. Sagot.'] ex Koern. in Mart., 

Fl. Brasil. 3 (1), 489 (1863); but this name was published only as 

a synonym of E. melanocephalum Kunth and so cannot invalidate E. 
aquaticum (Hill) Druce. 

"The additional plate 66 present in Druce's copy of the Herbar- 
ium Britannicum does not appear in all copies of the work; but at 
the British Museum, Bloomsbury, and at the Linnean Society of 
London there are copies which contain not only this additional 
plate but also four additional pages of text (numbered 96%*—99+) 
in which Cespa aquatica is described at length. These extra pages 
and plate......were presumably not issued soon enough for inclu- 
sion in all copies of the Herbarium Britannicum. According to 
Hill's statement on p. 96% the plant concerned had been collected 
in the previous year ('mense Septemb. anni elapsi') on the island 
of Skye by James Robertson, and had been communicated to Hill, 
with an illustration and description, by John Hope of Edinburgh. 
Hope himself published an account of it in Phil. Trans. Lond. 59, 
2h1--26, t. 12 (1770), in which he stated that it had been found 
by Robertson in September 1768. Thus Hill's ‘anni elapsi' was 
1768, so that his additional pages and plate were issued, or at 
least printed, in 1769. Hill in any case died in 1775, before 
Withering's publication of E. septangulare in 1776. 

"Hope correctly placed the plant in Eriocaulon, but misidenti- 
fied it with E. decangulare L., a species confined to North Amer- 
ica. Hill, on n the other hand, treated it as forming a new genus, 
Cespa, which, according to his footnote on p. 98%, he considered 
to differ teem Eriocaulon in having the corolla 'depetala', Erio- 
caulon being 'tripetalum'. Hope mentioned the plant's vegetative 
resemblance to 'Calamaria Dill. Musc. Tab. 80' (Isoetes L.) in 


1971 Moldenke, Notes on Eriocaulaceae 271 


which, however, a flowering stem was unknown; Hill's footnote on 
p. 96% makes the same point." 

All the discussion, therefore, given by me in these notes 
previous to the present date under E, septangulare, including 
bibliography, list of illustrations, and citations, should he 
transferred to E. aquaticum.

OBSERVATIONS ON MENTZELIA IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 


H. J. Thompson and Joyce Roberts? 
Department of Botanical Sciences, 
University of California, Los Angeles 


Our work on Mentzelia section Trachyphytum 
(Loasaceae) has disclosed a number of new species 
and indicated the necessity for several nomenclatural 
changes. Some of these are presented here so that 
they may be included in our contribution of the 
Loasaceae in the new Manual of Southern California 
Botany being prepared by Philip Munz. In addition, 
some new chromosome numbers in Mentzelia are report- 
ed in the cited specimens. All chromosome analyses 
are from microsporocytes, and at least two indivi- 
duals from each population were counted. 


MENTZELIA CALIFORNICA Thompson & Roberts, sp. nov. 

Herba erecta; folia rosulae irregulariter 
lobata lobis longis acutis, superiores ovato- 
lanceolatae; petala 5, lutea basi macula crocea, 
ovata, 6-11 mm longa; stamina 5-6 mm longa; stylus 
5-6 mm longus; capsulae recurvae, 1.5-3.5 cm longae; 
semina irregulariter angulata, leviter tessellata, 
papillis rotundatis vel subacutis. 


Plant erect, branching habit spreading, stems 
stout, 2-4 dm tall; leaves linear-lanceolate, rosette 
leaves irregularly lobed with long, pointed lobes, 
upper leaves ovate-lanceolate, fewer lobed or rarely 
entire; flowers solitary in the axils and terminal, 
opening in the morning; bracts entire, ovate- 
lanceolate, not white at base; calyx lobes 4-6 mm 
long, petals 5, 6-11 mm long, yellow with an orange 
spot at base, ovate, apex acute or rounded; stamens 
5-6 mm long; style 5-6 mm long; capsules narrowed at 
the base, recurved to 180°, 1.5-3.5 cm long, about 
1.5 mm wide; seeds irregularly angled, slightly 
tessellate, the surface with medium, rounded to 
Slightly pointed papillae; n=27. Holotype: 
California, San Bernardino Co., 6.3 mi. south of 
Salt Wells, Thompson 1644 (US; isotype LA). 


Mentzelia californica can occur in mixed colo- 
nies with M. albicaulis (n=36), M. veatchiana (n=27), 
M. mojavensis (n=2?), and M. obscura (n=l). This

species hybridizes with M. mojavensis, but the 
hybrids show reduced fertility with an average of 


52% good pollen. Hybrids between M. californica and 
M. veatchiana are completely sterile. Mentzelia 
californica has usually been identified in herbaria 
as M. albicaulis and has not been recognized as a 
distinct species. Although it is similar to M. 
albicaulis, M. californica differs in having larger 
flowers, M. albicaulis has petals 2-6 mm long; longer 
styles, those of M. albicaulis are 3-5 mm long; much 
less pronounced papillae on the seed surface; ovate- 
lanceolate bracts, while M. albicaulis has bracts 
that are linear or lanceolate. Mentzelia californica 
is also somewhat similar to M. jonesii (n=18) but the 
two species do not occur together; M. californica has 
a more northern distribution while M. jonesii occurs 
in the more southern portions of the Mojave Desert, 
the Colorado Desert, and north along the Colorado 
River. Mentzelia californica is found on desert 
Plains and roadside embankments with Larrea, Dalea, 
and Lycium, below 3000 ft., in the northern Mojave 
Desert, eastward into Nevada. Flowering period is 
March through April.

Acad. Scie 5: lo. 1906. Holotype: Signal Mts., 
Colorado Desert near boundary, 30 Mar. 1901, T. G. 
Brandegee (LAM!; isotype UC!). 


Mentzelia desertorum occurs on fine, sandy 
desert flats below 2000 ft. with Larrea, Encelia, and 
Abronia. It is common throughout the Sonoran Desert 
northward sporadically to extreme southern Inyo Co. 
It is very similar to M. obscura, described below, 


1971 Thompson & Roberts, Observations on Mentzelia 281 


and often occurs in mixed colonies with M. albicaulis 
(n=36) and M. obscura (n=18). Mentzelia desertorum 
can easily be distinguished from M. albicaulis by 
seed characters; M. obscura has smooth seeds, not 
tessellate, while seeds of M. albicaulis are very 
papillose and tessellate. When growing with M. 
obscura, it can most easily be differentiated by its 
very short, rounded leaf lobes, which are long and 
pointed in M. obscura. Also, where the two species 
grow together, M. obscura always has larger flowers 
than M. desertorun. We have counted eighteen popula- 
tions and are here reporting the chromosome number as 
=9. Voucher specimens are in the US and LA herbaria; 
representative specimens of which are: 
CALIFORNIA: San Bernardino Co., 2.8 mi. west of 
Cronise Valley along U.S. 466-91, Thompson 3143,

MENTZELIA EREMOPHILA (Jepson) Thompson & Roberts, 
comb. nov. 

Mentzelia lindleyi Torrey & Gray var. eremophila 
Jepson. Man. Fl. Pl. calif. 650. 1925. Lectotype: 
Kern Co., Randsburg, Hall & Chandler 6880 (JEPS!). 
The type specimen cited by Jepson is "Hall & Chandler 
6680", but this specimen is a Scirpus, not a Mentzelia, 
There is a Hall & Chandler 6880 from Randsburg whic 
fits the deScription given by Jepson, and we are 
assuming the specimen number originally cited by 
Jepson is probably a typographical error. 


Mentzelia eremophila is very common along canyon 
slopes of the eastern Margins of Kern Co. and the 


northwestern corner of San Bernardino Co., in associa- 
tion with Larrea, Yucca brevifolia, and Dalea, mostly 
below 4000 ft. Although it has not previously been 
recognized as a distinct species, it is nonetheless 
readily distinguished from all other species of 
Mentzelia. It has large flowers with petals over 

-5 cm in length, a long style over 1 cm, and very 
deeply and sharply lobed leaves, which has caused it 
to be identified in many herbaria as M. lindleyi. 
However, its entire bracts and recurved capsules, 
together with its distinctive seeds (rounded with a 
pronounced hilum) are very different from the lobed 


282 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 


bracts and erect capsules of M. lindleyi. Also, M. 
lindleyi occurs only on serpentine slopes of 
Foothret Wd. communities, while M. eremophila is 
strictly a desert species. Chromosome numbers have 
been ascertained from eight populations, with voucher 
specimens in the US and LA herbaria, and the number 
is reported here as n=9. Representative specimens 
are: 

CALIFORNIA: Kern Co., 5.7 mie northeast of U.S. 6

Mentzelia jonesii is found in rather coarse 
soil on desert plains and Slopes with Larrea, Yucca 
brevifolia, Coleogyne, and Opuntia, often growing up 

rou, desert shrubs, below 4000 ft., from south- 
central Inyo Co. south throughout the Mojave Desert 
and eastward to southern Nevada and western Arizona 
along the Colorado River. This species often occurs 
in mixed populations with M. obscura (n=18) and M. 
albicaulis (n=36), but is easily distinguished by 
its larger flowers and longer styles; M. jonesii 
has petals longer than 8 mm, those of M. albicaulis 
and M. obscura are less than 8 mm; the styles of M. 

onesii are 6-10 mm while those of M. albicaulis and 
M. obscura are 3-5 mm long. It differs from M. 
obscura also in that the seeds of M. obscura are 
Smaller, not tessellate, and have small pointed 
papillae, while those of M. jonesii are tessellate 
and have moderately sized papillae. Chromosome 
numbers have been determined from eight populations 
and the number is reported here as n=18. Although 
artificial hybrids have been made in the laboratory 
between M. Jjonesii and M. obscura, also n=18, they

Mentzelia mojavensis occurs on desert plains and 
roadside embankments ong the western margins of the 
Mojave Desert in Los Angeles and Kern counties, below 
3500 ft., with Larrea and Yucca brevifolia. It is 
often found in mixed populations with M. veaten2og 
(n=27), M. californica (n=27), M. obscura ; 
and M. albicaulis (n=36). Hybrids between Me 
mojavensis ana M. californica do occur, although the 
aSSne Show lessened pollen fertility of around 53% 
good pollen. Hybrids between M. mojavensis and M.

veatchiana are completely sterile with less than 3% 
Good pollen. Hybrids between M. californica and M. 
veatchiana produced in the laboratory are very 
similar morphologically to M. mojavensis, and it is 
conceivable that M. mojavensis has arisen from 
hybridization between M. californica and M. 
veatchiana. Hybrid swarms are very common where M. 
mojavensis occurs with M. californica and M. 
veatchiana. Flowering period is March through April.

mi. south of Pearblossom, Raven 11959 (US). This 
species has been named in honor of Professor Peter 
H. Raven, Stanford University, in recognition of his 
many collections of specimens and cytological 
material of Trachyphytum species in general and his 
collections of this species in particular which have 
aided the authors in determining the species limits. 


Mentzelia ravenii occurs along roadside embank- 
ments and canyon slopes associated with Larrea and 
Yucca brevifolia, in desert margin areas in Los 
Angeles County and western Riverside County. This 
species is rare both in nature and in herbaria. Most 
herbaria specimens have been variously referred to M. 
gracilenta, M. veatchiana, or M. montana. Mentzelia 
ravenii occurs Commonly with M. veatchiana (n=27) and 
though similar to the latter species, can be differ- 
entiated on the basis of the following; M. ravenii has 
yellow petals while the desert populations of M. 
veatchiana are usually deep orange; M. ravenii has a 
Spreading branching habit in contrast to the strict 
pattern of M. veatchiana; the bracts of M. ravenii 
are much broader and often somewhat clasping, while 
those of M. veatchiana are narrow and not clasping. 
Flowering period is March through April.

Acrolasia tridentata Davidson has been recog- 
nized by previous monographers (as in Darlington, 
1934) as a synonym of M. tricuspis var. brevicornuta 
Johnston, and identified in herbaria as this species 
or as M. involucrata. Mentzelia tridentata differs 
from Me involucrata in that it does not have white 
bracts, and in that respect it is similar to M. 
tricuspis. However, the lateral cusps of the stamens 
are much shorter than the central cusp in M. 
tridentata, while the lateral cusps are longer than 
the central cusp in M. oe The seeds of M. 
tridentata are more Similar hose of M. involucrata 
than they are to M. tricus ay they are roun 
and broadest at the middle, constricted on both 
faces above and below the middle, while the seeds of 
M. tricuspis are ovate, broadest at the top, and 
constricted at the middle. The plants of M. 
tridentata are usually much smaller in general than 
M. tricuspis, less than 1 dm. Mentzelia tridentata 
is quite restricted in range to buttes around the 
Barstow-Daggett area of San Bernardino County and 
the type locality in Inyo County. Flowering period 
is March through April. The chromosome number has 
been determined for several individuals from one 
population and is reported here as n=10.

OTANICAL 


A REVISED CLASSIFICATION FOR THE ORDERS 


AND FAMILIES OF MOSSES 


Harold Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 


The present paper is partly in response to many requests 
by non-bryologists for a listing of higher categories of mosses, 
but also, it seems advantageous to have a listing that can be 
used in conjunction with the recent list of orders and families 
of hepaticae by Schuster (1966). Thus, I take the opportunity 
to provide the following version that incorporates some recent 
evolutionary evidence and some personal opinion. 

The general history of moss classification is given by 
Dixon (1932) and there are some more recent comments by 
Schaffner (1938) and Steere (1958). The history shows the early 
use of three orders, Sphagnales, Andreaeales and Bryales. Later, 
additional orders were recognized by Fleischer, Brotherus and 
Dixon and in the last author's work the Bryales were divided 
into Tetraphidales, Calomniales, Schistostegales, Buxbauminales, 
Polytrichales, Fissidentales, Grimmiales, Dicranales, Syrrhopo- 
dontales, Pottiales, Encalyptales, Orthotrichales, Funariales, 
Eubryales, Isobryales, Hookeriales, and Hypnobryales. My own 
views fall between these extremes and are rather conservative. 

Regarding the higher categories, I recognize a single 
Division, Bryophyta, which I consider a natural group. Aside 
from the lack of vascular tissue, I would distinguish this 
natural group by the unbranched sporophyte which I consider to 
be derived from branched sporophytes of a non-bryophyte ancestor. 
For the basic subdivision between the hepatics and the mosses I 
recognize two prime characters, (1) the elongation in the base 
of the apically mature sporophyte in the former group versus the 
strictly apical growth in the latter, and (2) the tendency for 
fusion in gametophyte tissues (perianths, leaves, etc.) in the 
former versus strict separation of vegetative parts in the 
latter. 

At lower levels of classification I accept Sphagnum and its 
fossil relatives as distinct at the subclass level. The most 
useful distinction of the group seems to be the difference in 
the ultimate divisions of the leaf cells. The five orders I 
recognize in the subclass Bryidae reflect a reduction in the 
comparative status of the Andreaeales which I do not consider 
more distinct than the Tetraphidales. These two orders I view 
as rather primitive, and the fact that they and Sphagnum all 
have thalloid or other non-filamentous aspects to their proto- 
nemata seems significant. What has been called Bryales I recog- 


289 


290 PHITOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 5 


nize as four orders. The previous major subdivisions of the 
Bryales compare as follows: Nematodonteae becoming two orders, 
Tetraphidales and Polytrichales, and Arthrodonteae becoming two 
orders, Dicranales (=Haplolepideae) and Bryales (=Diplolepideae). 
In this arrangement I would place the Polytrichales mich closer 
to the Dicranales and there is no one character that will 
distinguish all the genera of these two orders. I find the 
peristome of the Polytrichaceae to be completely different in 
origin from that of other mosses and probably a more recent 
development. The Dawsoniaceae which are in the same order 
retain a peristome of a more primitive type. 

At the family level I have adopted some changes proposed by 
Andrews for the Leucobryaceae (1947) and Rhytidiaceae (1954). I 
retain the Leptostomataceae which Andrews (1951) placed in the 
Bryaceae. The following arrangement of the families allows for 
certain similarities that may or may not indicate relationships. 
I have placed the Schistostegaceae with the Mitteniaceae on the 
basis of observations of the protonemata of Mittenia by Stone 
(1961, 1962). Two personal opinions are represented in my 
placement of the Fissidentaceae and the Hookeriaceae. As I 
intend to indicate elsewhere, I regard the leaf form of the 
Fissidentaceae as the product of a rather simple evolutionary 
process, and I place the family close to the Dicranaceae. I 
place the Hookeriaceae with other families, many members of 
which share such characters as a median furrow on the outer 
surface of the peristome, short or double costae, and almost 
undifferentiated alar cells. This Hookeroid-Hypnoid complex I 
consider quite distinct from either the strongly castate 
Leskeoid-Brachythecioid complex or the Pterobryoid—Neckeroid 
complex that often shows preperistome development.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (ASTERACEAE). XXXVI. 


A NEW GENUS, NEOBARTLETTIA. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 


Among the Critonioid genera of the Eupatorieae, there are 
three that are notable for often having hairs on the surface of 
the receptacle. Two of these, Hebeclinium (King & Robinson, 
1971) and Decachaeta (King & Robinson, 1969) have been recog- 
nized in part since Decandolle (1836), The third genus, 
Neobartlettia, occurring primarily in the lowlands of Central 
America, is named as new here. 

The new genus shows a number of trends which help in the 
recognition of most of the species. These include the usually 
long slender petioles of the leaves, the usually numerous hairs 
on the backs of the corolla lobes, the usually more papillose 
style branches, and the usually slender inornate anther collars. 
The characters that prove most diagnostic in the accurate 
delimitation of the genus are the full sized anther appendages 
without recurved margins, the convex or short conical receptacle, 
the short broad lobes of the corolla and the distinctive slightly 
swollen carpopodium. Though the carpopodia show differences 
between the various species, there is a basic uniformity of 
design. In its most: frequent form the lower tapering part is 
made up of shorter rather thin-walled, sometimes enlarged cells 
which are only slightly differentiated from the upper more 
elongate cells, and the upper cells form a swollen area around 
the base of the achene and upward along the bases of the ribs. 
= a few species such as N. ehrenbergii, N. pinabetensis and 

- paezense the carpopodium is a narrower rim but with cells 
a not differentiated from those at the bases of the ribs. 

Neobartlettia proves to include most of the species that 
have been placed in the genus Hebeclinium during the second half 
of the 19th century. The genera are rather closely related 
though they can be told very easily by the shape of the 
receptacle. The receptacle of Hebeclinium is distinctly hemi- 
spherical. 

We have placed another group of related species in a 
separate genus, Guayania. This latter genus is distinguished 
primarily by its very asymmetric carpopodia and its usually 
cymose inflorescences.

We take great pleasure in naming this new genus of very 
showy plants in honor of Harley Harris Bartlett. The senior 
author was fortunate to have known this great botanist person- 
ally for a brief period. The life and works of Bartlett have 
been summarized by Voss (1961).

THE GENUS HEBECLINIUM 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


The Eupatorian species with hair or chaff on the receptacles 
have often been segregated into a separate genus or section, 
Hebeclinium. Like many other segregates previously recognized 
in the Eupatorieae, this concept of Hebeclinium is somewhat 
artificial. Some species such as Polyanthina nemorosa (1970) 
and Urolepis hecatantha (1971) have no close relationship. Also, 
hairs are found occasionally on receptacles of many species in 
such genera as Fleischmannia and Critonia. Still, most species 
of Eupatorieae with prominent hairs on the receptacles belong to 
a related group of three genera, Decachaeta (1969), Hebeclinium, 
and Neobartlettia (1971). 

This related group of three genera may be considered 
Critonioid in the broad sense having smooth surfaced corolla 
lobes and simple style bases. The three genera are rather 
distinct, however, in having usually slender anther collars with 
mostly inornate cells, and usually having many distinct hairs on 
the outer surfaces of the corolla lobes. Decachaeta is distinct 
by the short anther appendages with recurved margins, and all 
but one species of Decachaeta have alternate leaves. Decachaeta 
is entirely Mexican and Central American in distribution. 
Neobartlettia is most obviously distinct from Hebeclinium in its 
less convex, conical or even flat receptacles. Neobartlettia 
occurs primarily in Mexico and Central America with some South 
American species. 

In seeking a more concise understanding of Hebeclinium and 
its relatives, we have taken vertical sections through the 
receptacles of a number of species. In almost all the species 
of Hebeclinium the very highly convex receptacle is composed 
internally almost entirely of sclereids. The massive outer 
layer is many cells thick and breaks off rather easily. Only 
one species, H. guevarae, has been seen with considerable 
parenchyma in the receptacle and the outer layer of sclereids 
only one or two cells thick. The receptacles of both Decachaeta 
and Neobartlettia characteristically have a large core of 


parenchyma.

A NEW GENUS, GUAYANIA. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


The present new genus is established for four species of the 
Guayana Highland Region that appear very different from each 
other vegetatively, but which show great uniformity in most 
other characters. The convex to conical receptacles, corolla 
lobes densely hairy outside, anther collars slender with inornate 
cells, style branches with distinct short papillae and the style 
bases being plain, mark the group as related to Neobartlettia 
(King & Robinson, 1971). The four species treated here are 
distinguished from Neobartlettia by their very asymmetrical 
carpopodia which have their foramens completely to one side. The 
species of Guayania have fewer flowers per head than most species 
of Neobartlettia, but some of the latter genus such as N. 
hastifera (Standl. & Steyerm.) R.M.King & H.Robinson, fall within 
the range. A distinguishing character for at least two species 
of Guayania is the distinctly cymose inflorescence. The 
inflorescence of a third species, G. penninervata, has been 
described as a panicle (Wurdack, 1953) and the underdeveloped 
specimen we have seen shows only tendencies to be cymose. The 
fourth species, G. yaviana, is described as densely corymbose 
and we have not seen any material. 

The type species, G. roupalifolia, is widely distributed on 
the tepuis of the eastern and central Guayana Highlands Region 
and has very distinctive elliptical to obovate leaves with blunt- 
ly acute apices and tapering bases. This species has been 
considered closely related to G. yaviana which is also from 
higher elevations in the central highlands. Still, relationship 
to G. cerasifolia of lower elevations to the west seems as close. 
Guayania penninervata, also of lower elevations, is not known 
from enough collections for careful evaluation. 

The new genus is the only one in the Eupatorieae that is 
endemic to or centered in the Guayana Highlands.

THE GENUS, UROLEPIS. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


The name Urolepis is here raised to generic rank to accomo- 
date the single species, U. hecatantha. The most distinctive 
feature of the genus is the greatly enlarged pubescent receptacle. 
Nearly as distinctive are the stylar appendages with long dense- 
ly imbricate papillae. The carpopodium with its enlarged thin- 
walled cells and swollen upper part is also useful as a character, 
along with the enlarged blunt tipped apical cells of the pappus 
setae. The combination of characters given is more than adequ- 
ate to set this genus apart from others. 

The genus, Urolepis, is not easily placed among others in 
the Eupatorieae. The glabrous unenlarged style base and smooth 
corolla lobes might be Critonioid but the style branches and 
highly annulated anther collars would be unusual for that group. 
The species has been placed in Hebeclinium which is a Critonioid 
genus, but the latter has a smaller receptacle, cells of the 
anther collars without annular thickenings, corolla lobes with 
hairs on the back, style branches smooth, and pappus setae comp- 
letely different. The style branches of Urolepis are like those 
of Ayapana and the numerous flowers on a hairy receptacle are 
reminiscent of the Ayapana related Polyanthina. Nevertheless, 
these Camploclinioid genera have enlarged style bases and very 
distinct carpopodia and do not seem closely related. The closest 
relatives of Urolepis are undoubtedly among the as yet unassigned 
species of southern Brazil and adjacent areas. A species placed 
in section Urolepis by Baker, Eupatorium trichobasis has a prom- 
inent pubescent receptacle, annulated anther collars, and the 
same type of enlarged blunt apical cells on the pappus setae. 

The achene is also rather similar but the carpopodium much less 
distinct. This latter species is very different, however, in the 
papillose inner surfaces and margins of the corolla lobes and 

the shorter more erect papillae of the style branches, and the 
relationships seem distinctly Gyptoid. It hardly seems necessary 
to indicate that the genus Eupatorium is only remotely related 
being distinguished by hairs on the base of the style among other 
things. It is only the crudest kind of taxonomy that Urolepis 
has resided under the name Eupatorium for so long.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (ASTERACEAE). XLI. 


THE GENUS, EUPATORIASTRUM. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


A critical review of Eupatoriastrum reveals a natural group 
of three species characterized by large many flowered heads with 
interspersed paleae, by somewhat shortened anther appendages, 
and by broadly triangular to nearly orbicular leaves which are 
larger and sometimes deeply cleft nearer the base of the plant. 
The diversity between the three species in size, form of leaves, 
corolla pubescence, anther appendages, and details of the pappus 
and carpopodium indicates thoroughly distinct lines of develop- 
ment. Corolla structure and the short sometimes grooved anther 
appendages suggest closest relationship to the large genus Koan- 


ophyton. 


Eupatoriastrum Greenm., Proc. Amer. Acad. 39: 93. 1903. 


Shrubs or subshrubs, few branched. Leaves opposite, petio- 
led, blades deltoid or ovate, basal leaves sometimes deeply 
lobed, margins serrate. Inflorescence a very loose panicle. 
Involucre of ca. 50 phyllaries in 3-5 series; receptacle highly; 
100-300 flowers per head, 100-300 pales per head. Corollas tub- 
ular, 5-lobed, outer surface of corolla glabrous below, lobes 
about as long as wide with short stalked glands, with or without 
setae, tips slightly papillose; stomates absent; inner surface 
of corolla tube glabrous. Anther collar slender composed mostly 
of rectangular cells with numerous transverse thickenings; anther 
appendages short, composed of rather large cells. Style base 
without enlarged node, glabrous; stylar appendage somewhat en- 
larged especially near the tip, mammillose. Achenes prismatic, 
4-5 ribbed with numerous setae, carpopodia distinct, of quadrate 
cells with thin or slightly thickened walls. Pappus of 15-35

RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GENUS ALDAMA 
(COMPOS ITAE-HELIANTHEAE) 


Charles Feddema 


Forest Service Herbarium 


ALDAMA and A. dentata were described as new by La Llave 
and Lexarza (1824) from plants collected near Cérdoba in 
Veracruz, Mexico. Lessing (1830, 1834) assigned a Schiede 
collection from near Jalapa (225) to Aldama dentata and in 
the earlier paper included a description of the genus and 
species and drawings of floral and inflorescence details. 
He described A. dentata as erect while noting that La Llave 
had described it as procumbent. DeCandolle (1836) trans- 
ferred A. dentata to his new Gymnopsis, a broadly conceived 
genus in which he included species now assigned to various 
other genera. DeCandolle also described as new, G. 
schiedeana, referring to the Schiede collection. He de- 
scribed G, dentata as erect and having a conical receptacle 
but G. schiedeana as procumbent and having a convex recep- 
tacle. Bentham and Hooker (1860) accepted both of these 
species but considered them best assigned to Sclerocarpus, 
and Hemsley (1881) made the new combinations. Since that 
time Aldama has been included in Sclerocarpus by most 
authors although application of the binomials has varied 
widely. 


The two genera, Sclerocarpus, as typified by S. africanus, 
and Aldama, as typified by A. dentata, are superficially 
similar. Both have neutral ray flowers with yellow ligules 
and perfect tubular disk flowers. In both genera the re- 
ceptacular bract completely surrounds the mature marginal 
disk achene and becomes somewhat thickened and sculptured. 
The bract in Aldama, however, remains relatively thin and 
pithy and is easily removed from about the achene while the 
bract in Sclerocarpus becomes thick and hard and difficult 
to remove. There are a number of other significant differ- 
ences between Aldama and Sclerocarpus suggesting strongly 
that they be considered distinct. These are indicated in 
the following table.

assignable to Aldama dentata. La Llave's description of A. 
dentata as procumbent may be explained by the condition of 
plants which may survive well beyond the normal growing sea- 
son. A. dentata was described as flowering in March. At 
this time of the year in Cérdoba, where the type was col- 
lected, plants of the previous year may occasionally be 
found with the apex having died back or having been grazed 
and with only one or a few procumbent basal branches remain- 
ing. These sometimes root at basal nodes leaving little ev- 
idence of the original stem and roots. DeCandolle's de- 
scription of the receptacle of Gymnopsis (Aldama) dentata as 
conical and that of G. schiedeana as convex is probably due 
to the different appearance of the receptacle when young and 
after maturity. While the flowers are maturing, the recep- 
tacle is convex. After the achenes and receptacular bracts 
are shed, the drying receptacle constricts marginally, forc- 
ing the center of the disk higher. Plants from northern 
South America, usually identified as Sclerocarpus coffeacola 
Klatt are also assignable to Aldama dentata although speci- 
mens from this region tend to be smaller and have smaller 
heads than those from Mexico and Central America. All the 
specimens of Aldama examined can be assigned to the single 
species, Aldama dentata.

SOME ALEURITES TAXA IN HAWAII 
AND 
A NOTE REGARDING ARGEMONE 


Otto & Isa Degener 


Due to Dr. B.C. Stone's wanderlust and resulting peregrina- 
tions from the University of Hawaii to the Smithsonian, then 
to the College of Guam, and now to the University of Malaya at 
Kuala Lumpur, our plans, agreeable to us three by letter to 
jointly describe a "mango-leaved" taxon of Aleurites, went a- 
wry. In fact, even the small specimen we had mailed him on 
loan as type and cotypes is presumably stored in some forgot- 
ten herbarium cabinet in one of the above institutions and 
presently beyond reach. 


Now we two find the new taxon named in Pacific Science as a 
nom. nud. As agreed by past correspondence (much pertaining to 
Plants hi has been deposited in the Hunt Botanical Library in 
Pittsburgh), we three validly name this novelty as follows: 


ALEURITES MOLUCCANA var. KATOI Degeners & Stone. A var. moluc- 
cana folia lanceolata differt. 
KATO KUKUI, MANGO-LEAVED KUKUI 


Aleurites moluccana var. katoi Degeners & Stone nom. nud., ex 
Stone in Pac. Sci. 21:553. 1967. 


The variety katoi differs mainly from the var. moluccana in 
bearing lanceolate leaves occasionally widened by two obscure 
lobes near base of blade. 


As stated on page 553, the taxon "is named for Mr. Tadayuki 
Kato of Kauai High School, who has been very helpful to me and 
to other visiting botanists. The holotype specimen, taken from 
the tree on the grounds of Kauai High School in Lihue, is at 
the Bishop Museum (Stone 3427, collected on 15 April 1960)." 
That "A further specimen collected by Dr. Degener is also a- 
vailable" is not strictly correct. Otto & Isa Degener 23,956 
was collected by Mr. Hans W. Hansen from a cultivated tree on 
Kauai on Sept. 24, 1955. Whether Degeners 23,956 of 1955 and 
Stone (collected with Kato according to herbariun sheet label) 
3,427 of 1960 are from the same tree, we do not know. Accord- 
ing to Mr. Hansen, his plant was a cultivated one and was said 
to be native to Samoa. 


In Hawaiian and most other Polynesian dialects, typical 
Aleurites moluccana is known as "kukui" or some variant of 
this spelling. In English it is often called the "candlenut 
tree," referring to its former use as a source of light. The 


315 


316 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 5 


Kato kukui, with its unusual "mango leaves," is conspicuous 
and attractive. So by this time it may be seen cultivated here 
and there about residences and in parks. 


AIEURITES MOLUCCANA var. REMYI (Sherff) Stone, the Remy kukui, 
is a reduction made in the same publication by Stone of A. r 
Sherff in Field Mus. Bot. Ser. 17:558. 1939. We early followed 
Dr. Sherff, printing an illustrated description of this taxon 
in our Flora Hawaiiensis. After studying a large series of 
sheets of Aleurites recently, we noted that both the remyi and 
the katoi tendencies occur in various islands of the South Pa- 
cific. We now tend to the belief that Stone's interpretation 
may be the superior one. 


The first paragraph of Stone's page 552 is obviously gar- 
bled: The "mango-leaved" kukui (var. katoi) with practically 
no lobes is obviously not the same as the "Kona" kukui (var. 
remyi) with very narrow lobes. 


ALEURITES MOLUCCANA var. AULANII Deg. & Deg. var. nov. Arbor 
semenibus circa 23 mm. latis. 
AULANI KUKUI, SMALL-SEEDED KUKUI 


This hitherto undescribed variety has seeds about 23 mm. 
wide, 15 mm. thick and 20 mm. high; while the ubiquitous var. 
moluccana has them commonly 30 mm. wide, 23 mm. thick and 30 
mm. high. The type is Deg. & Deg. 32,481. Collected in Kukui- 
haele, Hawaii, by Stanley and Aulani Loo, March 28, 1971, and 
deposited in NY. 


The botanical recognition of this taxon was fortuitous. 
Forced by a broken tooth into Dr. Robert N. Ogawa's dental 
chair in Hilo, Hawaii, the kane patient learned that Mrs. 

Ogawa was an amateur botanist, the daughter a professional 
botanist with the University of Michigan, and Dr. Ogawa him- © 
self an ardent maker of seed lei or necklaces as a hobby. In 
the case of the kukui "nut," turned ebony black by burial in 

a taro patch, Dr. Ogawa explained his perfected method of pre- 
paring the seeds. The conversation then changed to the preva- 
lent rumor of a small-seeded kukui growing in isolated Waipio 
Valley, District of Kohala. Apparently only one tree remains 

in this once heavily populated valley, badly mauled by careless 
collectors of its prized seeds. The dentist was a bit evasive. 


Returning for further treatment days later, the patient was 
surprised and delighted to receive from Dr. & Mrs. Ogawa a 
truly regal lei for Mrs. Degener consisting of 25 matched, 
dwarf kukui seeds originally collected in Waipio Valley and 
neighboring Kukuihaele. "Kukuihaele," contrary to our hope, 
does not refer to this rare kukui variety. The complex word 


1971 Degener & Degener, Same Aleurites taxa 317 


means "moving kukui tree," probably in allusion to the action 
on the trees of the strong trade winds funneled between the 
heights of Mauna Kea and Kohala. 


As one surprise deserves another, the writers named this 
new taxon provisionally var. ogawae, mailing a copy of the 
manuscript to Mrs. Ogawa with the plea she furnish good flower- 
ing and fruiting material from a chosen tree as type and co- 
type specimens. 


malyccana 


After B.C. Stone 


The third surprise was an answering ‘phone call from Mrs. 0- 
gawa: The couple had not collected the material at all. The col- 
lector had been Mr. Stanley *Kolomona Loo, a resident of Hono- 
kaa of Chinese-Hawaiian ancestry, and his son Aulani. The family 
knows of two trees growing on such precipitous terrain that 
the father must help his son Aulani to and from the trees with 
aid of a rope. As these trees are such a rarity and might be 
injured by vandals or careless visitors, we feel it wise not to 
divulge their location. Because of Mrs. Ogawa's insistance and 
Mr. Loo's knowledge and advice, we here name the plant in his 
son's honor Aleurites moluccana var. aulanii. The name "Au- 
lani" is particularly appropriate for the kukui or candlenut 
as it means "Light of Heaven" in Hawaiian. 


The unspoiled native Hawaiian forests (some have escaped 
lumbering, or bulldozing for other commercial interests) teem 


*As the Hawaiian alphabet lacks the letter "S", "K" is substi- 
tuted for it. 


318 PHY T.8 £°O°G, D* Vol. 21, no. 5 


with endemic birds and endemic insects, all nicely adjusted 
to one another over eons of time. On the contrary, as we have 
mentioned elsewhere, our kukui forests are conspicuously si- 


lent except for the occasional thud of a heavy kukui fruit 
striking the ground; nor are they teeming with insects. Fur- 
theremore, thus far no one has unearthed kukui pollen among 
other fossil pollens in old, undisturbed layers of earth. 
These observations and the fact that the kukui is so valuable 
to the Polynesians for light, food, medicine, native jewelry, 
tapa dye, gum and for tanning fishnets moves us to the belief 
that the tree is of aboriginal introduction from the South. 
Birds and insects, during the couple thousand years of its 
possible introduction, simply have not yet had time to be—- 
come adjusted to the plant or to evolve with the plant as 
they have done to the unquestionable endemic ones in the Ha- 
waiian flora. 


Whether the rumor is true regarding the arrival at least 
of one tree of variety katoi coming from Tahiti or Samoa pre- 
sumably since the landing of Captain Cook in 1778, we are al- 
most certain that varieties remyi and ualanii were here be- 
fore that date. Did such taxa develop de novo in the Hawaiian 
Islands, or are they relics of taxa the Polynesians had 
brought with them from the South? If the latter is true, a 
careful comparison in museums of taxa in the Hawaiian Archi- 
pelago with those in the South Seas should add evidence as 
to the migrations and island stop-—overs made before these 
vikings of the sunrise settled in Hawaii Nei to intermarry, 
multiply and become amalgamated into a distinct race recog- 
nizable by their distinctive features as the true kamaaina. 

Should the pricklepoppy once so common on Oahu be Ar- 
gemone glauca L., A. glauca Pope, A. glauca (Prain) Degener 
or A. glauca (Prain) Deg. & Deg.? Regarding Dr. Stone's as- 
sumptions about the Argemone binomial, appearing in the same 
article on page 550, the kane writer had the simple explana- 
tion had he been asked for it. He enrolled at the University 
of Hawaii for the 1922-23 school year, frequently taking the 
Honolulu trolley to the end of the Kaimuki line. There he 
botanized in the red 'dobe soil and dust, collecting such 
xerophytes as Waltheria, Sida, Lipochaeta, Jacquemontia and 
Argemone, plants now replaced by houses and watered lawns 
with bordering cultigens. A New Yorker, he returned to his 
home, enrolling for an advanced degree at Columbia University, 
though spending most of his time critically identifying his 
Hawaiian collections at the affiliate, the New York Botanical 
Garden. There he identified the Argemone, judging its correct 
name to be Argemone glauca (Prain) Degener and thus noting it 
in his manuscript for a "Flora Hawaiiensis" he hoped eventual- 
ly to publish. In fact, he printed the name "Argemone glauca" 
in 1930 in his "Plants Hawaii National Park." 


1971 Degener & Degener, Some Aleurites taxa 319 


While he was at his home on Vancouver Highway, later re- 
named University Avenue, Honolulu, Dr. Willis Pope, first 
President of the College of Hawaii in fact but not in name 
and later prominent horticulturist of the government experi- 
ment station in Makiki Valley, came to visit him with the 
bulky manuscript of his "Manual Wayside Plants Hawaii." He 
left it with the writer, who spent the better part of a week 

sometimes with Dr. Pope but mostly alone, revising it. One 
of the first deletions he recommended which, however, was not 
followed, were marine algae! Among one of the many corrections 
he made was changing Pope's name of Argemone mexicana to A. 
glauca (Prain) Degener. Whether Dr. Pope or more likely some 
later reviser of the same manuscript altered the authority to 
"Argemone glauca L.", wissen nur die GStter. As the Degeners 
have been in frequent correspondence for decades with Dr. 
Stone mainly concerning the genus Pelea, a simple inquiry 
about Argemone would have saved the e making of unnecessary ass- 
umptions.

PRITCHARDIA AND COCOS IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS 
Otto & Isa Degener 


When the Hawaiian Islands were rediscovered by Captain 
James Pace Cook in 1778, only two genera of palms grew in 
the archipelago. The one was Pritchardia, consisting of 
many taxa of fan-leaved or palmate palms; the other, Cocos, 
consisting of a single species of feather-leaved or plumose 
palm. Odoardo Beccari and Joseph F. Rock in 1921 published 
their beautifully illustrated work entitled *A Monographic 
Study of the Genus Pritchardia, 1-77. It is the last, au- 
thoritative work on the group. Though we know it conceals er- 
rors, we do not yet know enough to correct them. The species 
are native mostly to Micronesia and Polynesia, attaining 
their major development in the Hawaiian Archipelago. They 
grow from sea level to about 5,000 feet elevation; from de- 
sert to dense rainforest. According to Beccari & Rock's 
findings, there are about 25 species and five varieties ex- 
tending from the Island of Hawaii westward to distant Nihoa. 
Since 1921 additional taxa have been described, some of 
questionable validity. 


Beccari & Rock describe as new, single individual palm 
trees growing in hot, lowland gardens, and not known any- 
where in the wild. Could not such individual palms be the 
offspring of seeds collected in the rainy mountains of our 
islands? Do they merely look new because they are growing 
under greatly changed conditions? We do not presently know, 


One of our local botanists, Dr. Harold St. John, collected 
specimens from a single palm in the mountains near Punaluu, 
Oahu and, using the monograph, keyed it to a certain species. 
At a different season he visited the identical palm, collect~ 
ed additional material and, using the same key, came to an en=- 
tirely different species! Obviously, something is wrong some- 
where. 


While botanizing for five months in 1928 on Molokai, the 
kane writer searched for Pritchardia, known to Hawaiians as 
loulu, and noted some growing cultivated near the coast in 
the garden of an elderly Hawaiian known to him as Levi. From 
his part-Hawaiian assistant, in whom Levi had confided, he 
learned that Rock had heard about loulu palms growing in 
some Molokai fastness. He offered Levi pay to fetch him speci- 
mens. As Rock refused the price Levi wanted, Levi resolved to 
have his cake and eat it too. So he agreed to Rock's more mod= 
est offer but, instead of climbing the mountain range to get 
specimens of the elusive palm, he merely substituted material 
from one of the trees in his yard. Levi thought it a great 


Mem. B.P. Bish. Mus. 8(1). 


1971 Degener & Degener, Pritchardia and Cocos 321 


joke, and chuckled while telling the writer's assistant about 
the deception. Evidently some Molokai taxon is listed erro- 
neously in the monograph as to habitat. 


We see no way of greatly revising Beccari & Rock's work, ex» 
cellent for the time and conditions under which it was produc- 
ed, without concentrating on collecting herbarium specimens 
from all colonies still extant, a task easily facilitated by 
airplane spotting of these conspicuous trees. Seeds from each 
colony, preferably from the same palm from which voucher mater- 
ial had been preserved, should then be planted under uniform 
conditions with similarly procured seeds from other colonies. 
Such cultivated plants mst then be compared with one another 
when they finally flower and fruit, as well as against the 
vouchers collected from the parent plants many years before. 
The difficulty of such a project is the gathering of material 
so often growing in almost inaccessible jungles and on cliffs, 
the acreage needed for the tests, the length of time before a 
seedling finally matures to produce diagnostic characters of 
flower and fruit, and the pathetic fact that so many of such 
distinctive colonies already have succumbed to the bulldozing 
"progress" of so-called civilized man. The investigator still 
will not be sure if the old, historical specimens collected by 
Rock and others had not come from such colonies that are now 
extinct. Even though the task of getting order out of chaos 
seems hopeless, Foster Botanical Garden under Director Paul 
R. Weissich has made a good beginning. 


If the above preamble is correct, it is obvious that many 
kinds of loulu are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, even 
though no one yet knows how many species and varieties exist- 
ed here in 1778. It is also plain that this genus must have 
been in the Hawaiian Islands for eons — certainly before the 
arrival of the Polynesians - to enable it to speciate to such 
an extent. 


The fossil record certainly proves the antiquity of the lo- 
ulu. Until recent bulldozing on Oahu destroyed them, erect 
molds of the trunks were observable on the north side of the 
road leading mauka to the U.S. Army Tripler General Hospital. 
Such palms were thriving until the lower parts of their smooth 
trunks were buried by the rain of ash that fell during the ex- 
plosions that formed Salt Lake Crater. 


On the Island of Hawaii at Kailiili, near Wahaula within 
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a few impressions of pros- 
trate trunks can be seen on a prehistoric though not very 
old pahoehoe lava flow. Beyond the southwestern boundary of 
the National Park, between the main road and the ocean, at 
*Kawaa, lies an expanse of prehistoric, smooth pahoehoe.

Armed with camera, broom, whiskbroom and trowel, the writers 
and Mr. & Mrs. Theodore L. Picco fanned over the area. Here 
the pahoehoe had gently flowed through a palm grove, the wet 
trunks burning slowly through the base so that the trees 
fell helter skelter upon the cooling lava. Several score im- 
pressions were carefully examined, all showing the relative- 
ly smooth, unbranched outline of a side of the palm trunk 
(Fig. a). Many also showed rectangular checks formed as the 
lava oozed into the charring wood (Figures b, c). One im- 
pression even showed the base of a fan-like blade (Fig. d),

resembling that of a modern Pritchardia (Fig. e) now growing 
at nearby Punaluu. Not a single trunk impression exhibited 
leaf scars. No palm fruits nor seeds were observed.

"According to tradition, at least the large-fruited type 
of coconut known as niupolapola was brought to the Hawaiian 
Islands by the early Polynesian immigrants from Bolabola, an 
island not far from Tahiti. Before Captain Cook's coming the 
Hawaiians knew also a few other kinds, such as the niuhiwa 
with dark-colored fruit and the niulelo with yellowish 
fruit."* The fruit was both food and drink for the Polynesi- 
an voyagers, and certainly the most necessary and efficient 
supply of a potable liquid in transportable form for a long 
ocean voyage. We surmise some coconuts escaped being consum 
ed, and were planted in the newly discovered islands. 


Between Kawaa Bay and the boundary of the National Park 
is the coastal village of Pumaluu. Just back of the black

former, a fan palm, bears erect, slender trunks hardly 
thickened at base and without prominent leaf scars. The lat- 
ter, a feather palm, bears a curving trunk thickened at base 
and somewhat constricted at the prominent leaf scars. The 
contrast is well shown in figures f and g. with these dif- 
ferences in mind, the reader should compare the photographs 
of the living trees with those of the fossils. 


Figures f and g showing two coconut palm trunks with 
prominent leaf scars and several Pritchardia trunks

In conclusion, the writers are convinced that the loulu 
reached the Hawaiian Islands some eons ago, and may have 
even more or less encircled many stretches of the Islands 
with extensive groves, particularly before the Polynesians 
brought the pig and, perhaps as stowaway, the seed-eating 
Polynesian rat. The fossil impressions at Kailiili and above 
all at Kawea are irrefutable proof of this fact. These beau- 
tiful palms may well have extended along the shore of Hawa- 
ii Volcanoes National Park, and hence deserve replacement. 
Regarding the coconut, however, we consider it a newcomer 
to the Hawaiian Islands wntil irrefutable evidence to the 
contrary appears. Tradition bolsters this belief as well as 
the fact that no fossil imprints of a coconut palm have ever 


1971 Degener & Degener, Pritchardia and Cocos 325 


been seen, not even at Kawaa Bay where conditions were ideal 
for its growth and fossilization, 


Many have been confounded by the loulu growing in such iso- 
lated localities. It is of course possible that those trees 
perched on cliffs reached there as fruits falling or washing 
down from the plateau forest above. Or a grove may have ex- 
isted for ages on a plateau before this was slowly eroded into 
gulches and finally into cliff-flanked canyons. The grove of 
palms simply continued to grow in the same spot from genera- 
tion to generation, first on gulch sides and finally on the 
resultant cliffs. All this is possible, but is it probable? 
On the Island of Hawaii lives the native crow alala (Corvus 
tropicus Gmelin). To be sure all crows are black; but this 
one, as the kane writer observed in 1927 in the Kona jungle, 
is unique in keeping its bill agape to exhibit to its mate 
the beautiful akala-berry-red surface within. Evidently the 
ancestors of such a species, now so distinctive, mst have 
come to the Archipelago eons ago. Today the species is on 
the verge of extinction, perhaps less than a dozen individ- 
uals persisting on the Island of Hawaii. In 1891, however, 
when the ornithologist George C. Munro surveyed this island 
for birds "the alala was numerous. They were in flocks - -," 
Perhaps crows andor other large, seed eating birds were nu- 
merous also on some of the remaining islands and aided in 
the early distribution of the loulu. If "civilized" man could 
just about exterminate the crow on the Island of Hawaii from 
flocks to perhaps less than a dozen individuals in eighty 
years, what could not the natives have accomplished during 
the past few thousand? We know "The Hawaiians snared the crow 
and used the black feathers for kahilis and for dressing 
idols," 


There is hope for the preservation of the Pritchardia 
molds because these and the archaeological features of the 
general area can be of value to the lucrative tourist in- 
dustry. Besides having these easily accessible and clear, 
prostrate tree molds, the Kawaa region is flanked to the 
northeast by the ruins of the massive Keeku heiau or temple. 
This must have catered to a large neighboring population 
attracted by the beach and the nearby freshwater springs. 
Unfortunately the many house sites have been washed flat by 
the tsunami of 1868; but iliili, or smooth water-worn peb= 
bles from the beach and from the flooring of the huts, are 
scattered everywhere. One even finds evidence of ancient 
pleasures and industry. Here and there, pecked into flat, 
smooth lava are the depressions of the papamu, or checker- 
board (Fig. h), upon which the Hawaiians played konane 
with white coral pebbles against black lava ones; and a- 
long the rocky coast are cup-like depressions ("baitcups") 
in which the natives pounded their chumming material used

for luring fish. A few stone "salt pans" in which seawater 
was evaporated to gain salt for barter with upland residents 
are also there. Such an area rich in Hawaiiana and fossils 
may well escape destruction, 


We are grateful to Mr. & Mrs. Picco for helping us sweep 
and for taking the photographs. 


STUDIES IN THE SOPHOREAE (LEGUMINOSAE) I. 
Velva E. Rudd 


In connection with studies in the tribe Sophoreae for North 
American Flora and Flora Neotropica it has been found that the 
following new combinations and taxa are necessary: 


1. SOPHORA L. section AIGIALODES Rudd, sect. nov. 

Frutices, interdum subscandentes; foliola subcoriacea; stipu- 
lae lineari-deltoideae aut nullae; inflorescentia racemosa, ter- 
minalis; calyx truncatus vel subtruncatus; corolla alba vel aur- 
ea, petalis carinalis plerumque connatis; fructus torulosus. 


Type species: Sophora tomentosa L. The name Aigialodes is from 
the Greek, meaning a dweller by the sea. 


2. SOPHORA L. section ORESBIOS Rudd, sect. nov. 

Arbores; foliola coriacea; inflorescentia racemosa, axillaris; 
calyx truncatus; corolla violacea, petalis carinalis discretis; 
fructus ignotus. 

Type species: Sophora conzattii Standl. The name Oresbios is 
from the Greek, meaning a dweller on the mountain.

Unless proof can be found that the title-page date of 1811 for

name for members of this genus. Burkill (1966) tells us that 
Callicarpa is "A gems of shrubs and trees....found in the warmer 
parts of Asia, to Australia and the Pacific, and again in America. 
The plants are sub-aromatic, and often bitter in taste. Through- 
out the East they are used medicinally: some internally, others 
for poulticing. Several species of America are active diuretics 
and purgatives. The wood is of little use. The Malayan species 
are much of one type, and 'tampang besi' is the name applied to 
the first three mentioned below [C. candicans, C. longifolia, C. 


maingayi], and to C. angustifolia, King and Gamble. Whether C. 
tomentosa differs sufficiently in medicinal uses that it should 
bear a distinguishing name, is not clearly demonstrated yet. The 
common noun 'tampang', to which attention has just been called, 
indicates that the plants are used for making plasters. 'Tampal' 
is a variant of it, and other variants may be recognized.....As 
far to the eastward, also, as the Philippine Islands, species of 
Callicarpa obtain such names; and there can be no doubt that con- 
siderable reliance has been put on them as simples, from end to 
end of Malasia. Three species are used as fish-poisons in the 
Philippine Islands......The active substance is a saponin. It is 
interesting that the twigs of two of them, dried until the leaves 
have fallen, should be used as a bait for prawns. C. reevesii, 
Wall., of Southern China, and several others are in cultivation 
in the Botanic Gardens, Singapore; for they are ornamental plants!

stenophylla Merr., which differs “in its less dense and simply 
stellate, not plumose-stellate indumentum".

Vidal & Lemoine (1970) record the common name "ntoo peeb lab 
soob" for this plant, cite Lemoine 2), & 106 from Laos, and com 
ment that it is an "Arbre de for8t claire ou de for8t secondaire 
& fruits charnus violets, non comestibles. Les feuilles sont 
appliquées sur les blessures". 

Burkill (1966) lists the following vernacular names for this 
plant: "tampang bési" ("tulang bési" is an error for this), 
"tampang bési puteh" (=white-fruited tampang béesi), "tampong 
besi", "tampoh bési", "tampah bési", "tampal bési", "tapah bési", 
"sulap", "karat bési", "chapal", "chapul kéchil", "nasi-nasi"; 
in Java "méniran utan", "méniran sapi", "gambiran", "songka", 
"songka kampong"; in Sufidanese "katumpang"; in Sumatra "sétampo", 
"bebStih kinana"; in Bangka "nasi-nasi"; in Thailand "khow tok". 
He notes, further, that the plant is "A shrub found throughout 
Malaysia and to Australia; in the Peninsula it is camon. It is 
one of the chief plants used for poulticing by the Malays, and 
is also administered internally. For colic a decoction of the 
leaves is drunk.....This use extends to Java and through to the 
Moluccas. A similar decoction is given after childbirth, and for 
fever. For syphilis an infusion of the root is used.....and 
Rumpf says a decoction of the roots is useful for diarrhoea. The 
"Medical Book of Malayan Medicine'.....seems to put this into the 
first place as a means of treating sprue, prescribing, as a 
draught, an infusion of the root, a gargle prepared by infusion 
of the leaves, and a mouth-wash prepared by infusing the bark. A 
decoction of the root of some species of Callicarpa, such as this, 


is prescribed,,,...for distension of the stomach, the treatment 
comprising bathing the body by a decoction of the leaves. The 
leaves are used by the Malays for poulticing in fever, and for 
rubbing over the body and are applied to swellings. A lotion con- 
taining the juice of the root is used for nasal caries....The 
leaves are said to stupefy fish.....The wood burns steadily and 
thoroughly, whence the common Javanese name; it will not make 
charcoal. Jansonnius has described the minute structure...." 

Dop (1932) states that C. longifolia is similar to C. petelotii 
Dop in the form of its leaves and the dimensions and disposition 
of the cymes and that the latter may possibly represent a natural 
hybrid between C. longifolia and C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch and/ 
or C. brevipes (Benth.) Hance.

The C. lanata accredited to Gamble, referred to in the synony- 
my above, is actually a synonym of C. vestita Wall., that credit- 
ed to Hosséus is C, arborea Roxb., that credited to H. J, Lam is 
C. arborea var. psilocalyx (H. J. Lam) Moldenke, that credited to 
Lamarck is Premna tomentosa Willd., that credited to Schauer, to 
Vahl, to Walpers, and to Zippelius is C. pedunculata R. Br., and 
that credited to Linnaeus, to "Linnaeus sensu Gamble", to Wallich, 
and to Roxburgh belongs in the synonymy of C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. 

Burkill (1966) refers to C. maingayi as follows: "A tree, con- 
fined to the Malay Peninsula, in Pahang, Selangor, and Malacca. 
Alvins says that the wood can be used for making fiddles, adding 
that there are two kinds of it, one with red and one with white 
bark. ‘he bark on the younger branches is rusty red. Alvins says 
that the bark is used as a substitute for betel." He lists the 
common names "tampang bési", "méndapor", "tutok puteh" ["tulo" and 
"tutor" are errors for this], "chulak", "balek angin laut" [in 
reference to the white color of the lower leaf-surface].

The original description (1846) of this variety is "foliis lan- 
ceolatis vel ovatc-lanceolatis acuminatis basi rotundatis dense 
et aequaliter serrulatis pollicaribus vel bipollicaribus. Die 
Behaarung und allgemeine Form der Blatter stimmt mit der mollis 
tiberein, nur sind dieselben viel kleiner und am Rande mit Aus- 
nahme der Basis und Spitze gleichmassig feinsagezahnig. Die 
Blithen sind an unseren Exemplaren nicht vollstandig entwickelt." 
Nakai (1923) describes it as "Frutex 1—1.5 metralis ramosissimus. 
Folia 1—-3 cm. longa. Nom. Jap. Kobano-yabumurasaki. Hab. in 
insula Hokitsut6. Distrib. Kiusiu." Masamune (1929, 1955) re- 
cords it from Honshu and Kyushu, Japan, as well as from Yakushima 
in the Ryukiu Islands, and records the vernacular name 
"bagabayabu-murasaki", 

According to Hara (198) the "C. mollis var. microphylla Sieb. 
& Zucc." of Nakai (1922, 1923) is really C. mollis var. ramosis-=- 
sima Nakai. LAGAN | in a 

It should be noted that Siebold & Zuccarini's reprint publica- 
tion (186) is often cited as "Fl. Jap. Fam. Nat. 2: 156" and 
Masamune's 193) publication as "Masam. FY. 387". Miquel (1870) 
cites Siebold 3 [specimens?], Keiske 1 [specimen?], and Mohnike 
1 [specimen?]. 

In some of my previous publications I did not accept the 
validity of this variety and reduced it to synonymy under typical 
C. mollis Sieb. & Zucc. However, recent Japanese workers, with 
field experience, regard it as a valid taxon and so I bow to 
their judgement. As yet I have seen no herbarium material of it.

According to Hara (1948) this taxon was erroneously reported 
as C. mollis var. microphylla Sieb. & Zucc. by Nakai in 1922 and 


1923. He cites an illustration ["f. 283 (1938)"], but unfor- 
tunately gives the name of the publication and its author only in 
Japanese characters. 

Masamune (1955) records var. ramosissima from Honshu, Kyushu, 
and Sikoku, Japan, as well as from Yakushima in the Ryukiu Is- 
lands, and gives the vernacular name "kobano~yabumurasaki". 

As yet I have seen no herbarium material of this taxon.

Merrill (1926) describes this plant as follows: "A shrub a- 
bout 2 m high, the branches terete, older ones glabrous, the 
branchlets slender, densely and minutely stellate-furfuraceous 
or stellate-sublepidote, the indumentum brown or pale. Leaves 
opposite, membranaceous or subchartaceous, oblong to broadly 
oblong-lanceolate, 6 to 15 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, slenderly 
and sharply almost caudate-acuminate, base acute or decurrent- 
acuminate, margins crenate or crenate-dentate, the upper surface 
dark brown to black and shining when dry, entirely glabrous or 
with scattered stellate hairs when immature, the lower surface 
paler than the upper, mimtely and rather densely pitted and 
with mmerous shining glands, the indumentum of short, pale, 
stellate, scattered hairs, for the most part confined to the mid- 
rib and lateral nerves; lateral nerves about 7 on each side of 
the midrib, slender, curved-ascending, distinct; petioles 1 to 3 
cm long, minutely and rather densely stellate-pubescent. Cymes 
axillary, mostly densely flowered, about as long as the peti- 
oles, the peduncles, branches, and calyces densely and minutely 
stellate—pubescent with pale or brownish hairs, the pedicels a- 
bout 1.5 mm long, the bracteoles linear, 0.5 mm long. Calyx 
truncate, about 2 mm long, 1.5 mm in diameter, narrowed below to 
the cuneate base. Corolla tube 2 m long, glabrous, the lobes 
4, oblong-elliptic, rounded, glabrous or very slightly pubescent 
above, about 1.5 mm long. Filaments glabrous, | to 4.5 m long; 
anthers oblong, 1.3 mm long. Style exserted, glabrous, 7 m 
long. Fruit globose, glabrous, black when dry, about 2 m in 


3h0 PRY £0 Ly OoGre Vol. 21, no. 5 


diameter." 

The type of the species was collected by Maximo Ramos and Gre- 
gorio E. Bdafio (Philip. Bur. Sci. 4297] in secondary forests at 
low altitudes on Tawitawi, Sulu Archipelago, Philippine Islands, 
in August, 192), and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philip- 
pine Bureau of Science at Manila, now unfortunately destroyed. 
Merrill cites also Philip. Bur. Sci. 4198, gathered by the same 
collector at the type locality in July of 192). He comments that 
this is "A species rather well characterized within the genus by 
its very short indumentum, which is dense on the branchlets and 
inflorescences, and wanting or very sparse on the vegetative 
parts. The leaves are characteristically black or dark colored 
on the upper surface when dry, as in Callicarpa cana Linn. and C. 
bicolor Juss., and the species is apparently allied to these in 
spite of the difference in indumentum. According to Bakhuizen's 
arrangement of the species, it would apparently fall near or with 
Callicarpa japonica Thunb. and C. longifolia Lam., to neither of 
which can it be properly referred. I doubt very much if any of 
the Philippine or Malaysian material is properly referable to 
Thunberg's species." 

Recent collectors describe this plant as 2 m. tall, the stems 
3 cm. in diameter, the corollas bluish-pink, stamens yellow, and 
fruit green (in August), growing in secondary forests at low al- 
titudes,. 

In all, 7 herbarium specimens, including material of the type 
collection, have been examined by me.

As has been pointed out by me in 1932, the Asiatic plant for 
so long a time known as C. acuminata Roxb. must take on another 
name. While this binomial was actually first proposed by Roxburgh 
in 181), it was not accompanied by any description. It ws, 
therefore, a mere hyponym, and is not considered to have been va- 
lidly published at that time. A full description, validating the 
name, was not published by him until 1820. In the meantime, Hum- 
boldt, Bonpland, & Kunth published their C, acuminata in quite va- 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 33 


lid form for a Mexican, Central and South American species in 
1817 with a full description. The Asiatic and American plants are 
similar in appearance, but are not conspecific. The American 
plant, therefore, must retain the name C. acuminata H.B.K. and 
the Asiatic plant mst take on a new name. 

The second oldest name for the Asiatic plant is C. reevesii 


Wall., proposed in 1829, but also as a hyponym. It was not valid- 
ly published until by Walpers in 1845. In 1836, however, Hooker 
& Arnott published C. nudiflora, accompanied by a good descrip- 
tion and illustration. It seems obvious, therefore, that the 
Asiatic plant first known as C. acuminata Roxb., then as C. 
reevesii Wall., must now be known as C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn. It 


has been collected rather extensively in southern China, Canton, 
Kwangtung, Hainan Island, Macao, and Lappas Island, and occurs 
also in Silhet, Tenasserim, and Singapore. 

Roxburgh's original (1820) description of his C. acuminata is 
"Shrubby, tender parts hoary with a stellate pubescence. Leaves 
broad-lanceolar, acuminate, remotely repand, denticulate. Panicles 
axillary, long peduncled, dichotomous, shorter than the leaves. 

A native of Silhet, flowers in May. In this species the panicles 
are elevated on longer peduncles than in the other species [of 
India], the leaves and young parts very hairy, except the upper 
surface of the former when fully expanded, which is then naked 

and reticulate; from four to five inches long by nearly two broad.’ 

King & Gamble (1908) amplified this description as follows: "A 
shrub, the branches, petioles, the under surface of leaves, and 
inflorescence covered with a soft, whitish-grey or pale tawny, 
mealy tomentum of branched or stellate hairs. Leaves coriaceous; 
lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, long acute at apex, attenuate 
at base and often slightly unequal, not decurrent; upper surface 
dark when dry, glabrous except the nerves, lower tomentose; mar- 
gins entire for the lower third, above that shortly dentate ser- 
rate; 5 to 8 in. long, 2 to 3 in. broad; midrib stout; main nerves 
13 to 15 pairs, nearly regular, starting at an angle of 5° to 60° 
with the midrib and curving gently to the margin, each pair joined 
by rather obscure transverse nervelets, all slightly impressed a- 
bove; petiole .75 in. long. Cymes axillary, rounded, many-flower- 
ed, widely dichotomous, reaching in. long and about 3 in. broad; 
peduncles 1.5 to 2 in. long; bracts linear subulate, 1 in. long; 
pedicels short, slender, nearly glabrous, .05 to .1 in. long; 
flowers purple? Calyx very short, nearly glabrous but with a few 
stellate hairs and minutely glandular-punctate, very shortly l- 
toothed. Corolla twice as long as calyx .1 in.; lobes rounded, 
sparsely stellate—pubescent and glandular—punctate. Stamens long 
exsert; filaments slender; anthers small; the connective glandular- 
punctate. Ovary rounded, very glandular; style very long, twisted; 
stigma peltate, large. Drupe purple, small, .075 to .1 in. in di- 
am., nearly globose; pyrenes l,......Singapore: near the Botanic

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) gives the distribution of this 
species as "S.-China! Canton! Lappas-Isl.! Kwantung! Hongkong! 
Hainan} Macao! Silhet! ? Tenasserim!? Singapore!" 

Recent collectors describe the plant as a low woody shrub, 1--3 
m. tall, or sometimes a small to large tree, to 9 m. tall, erect, 
the stems 15--25 cm. in diameter, bark brown and flaky, branches 
pale furfuraceous, becoming gray-green, the leaves "yellow-green" 
or green, pale- or deep-green above, pale-green or grayish mealy=- 
tomentose beneath (or “light-green above, tawny beneath"), "with 
prominent glaucous vein" beneath, the flowers fragrant or ill- 
smelling, the stamens purple, the immature fruit green, maturing 
to red (Chun & Tso 714, Tsang s.n., Wang 3546), lilac (Chun 
6846), purple-red (Liang 6325h), purple, or blue; "green to 
white" on Liang 66369 and "brown" on Chun 1,022 & Lei 125. The 
corolla is described as being "red" on W. T. Tsang 29, "pink" on 
Fung 20276, Liang 62117, and Taam 1560, "rose" on Bodinier 798, 
"pale pink-purple" on Clemens & Clemens 3148, "peach-red" on Lei 
gil, “"purple-pink" on Clemens & Clemens 3936, "violet" on Chun 
3155, “purple” on Chun 2108, Tsang & Fung 1,61, and Wang 32788, 
and "white" on Ying 872. 

Collectors have found the plant growing in loam soil or sand, 
in open thickets, mixed woods, forests, and gardens, on level 
land, slopes, open hillsides, rocky mountains, and forest mar- 
gins, along open roadsides and streamsides, and in partial shade 
at the sides of ravines, at altitudes of 1200 feet, flowering in 
February and from April to September, fruiting from August to 
February. Tsang describes it as "abundant scattered shrubs in 
dry sandy soil", Lau says "fairly common, dry cliffs, sandy soil! 
and Lei reports "rare in loam of dry level land", "scattered 
shrubs in village greens", and "in roadside gardens". Bodinier 
reports it as "rare dans 1'fle" on Hongkong, while Chun found it 
to be "common" on Hainan Island. 

It should be noted that Sprengel (1825) places Roxburgh's C. 
acuminata in the synonymy of C. heynii Roth [now known as C. 
candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr.]. The Hooker & Arnott 1836 reference 
in the bibliography of C. nudiflora is dated "181" by Bakhuizen 
van den Brink (1921), Stapf (1929), and P'ei (1932), but actually 
was published in 1836 [see the dates of publication of the various 
pages of this work, as well as of the plates, under C. kochiana 
in these notes]. The Wallich 1829 reference is cited as "1020" 
by Bakhuizen van den Brink, who also cites the 185 Walpers refer- 
ence by the title-page date of "18),--18)8". The King & Gamble 
publications, referred to above, are both often cited as "1909" 
and the pages reversed or the serial citation given as "7 (\)". 
Dr. Lam (1919) reduces Roxburgh's C. acuminata to synonymy under 
C. longifolia f. floccosa Schau.

seems to be merely a new name for C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn. as 
distinguished by him from C. acuminata Roxb. and C. reevesii Wall. 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 35 


He cites for it a Ford s.n., originally determined as C. purpurea 
A. L. Juss. in the Arnold Arboretum herbarium. Callicarpa macro- 
phylla var. sinensis C. B. Clarke is described by Clarke (1885) 
as having "Leaves oblong-lanceolate, closely denticulate, pedun- 
cles longer than the petioles, anthers oblong, larger. -- Canara; 
Gibson. Calcutta; Distrib. China. Branches upwards dense with 
leaves. Teeth of the leaves with minute black glandular spots. 
Calyx in flower stellately tomentose, soon nearly glabrate; teeth 
elongate, often somewhat longer than the tube. Probably a culti- 
vated plant: it seems as near to C. Reevesii as to C. macrophylla 
Chang (1951) compares it with C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn. and with 
C. lobo~apiculata Metc. My good friend, Dr. Santapau, in a letter 
to me dated February 16, 1948, says "Call. macrophylla var. sin- 
ensis is given as a Bombay plant on the word of Gibson, who found 
it in Kanara; unless we are told which Kanara is meant, we cannot 
draw any definite conclusion, although I am inclined to think it 
was the North Kanara [Bombay Pres.], in which Gibson did botanise 
extensively." 

The Griffith 6040/1, cited below, was apparently taken from a 
cultivated plant in India, the seeds of which were "ex China". 
Sen & Naskar (1965) record the species as cultivated in India, 
Bojer (1837) says that it is cultivated in Mauritius. Bailey 
(1935) reports that it was offered to the horticultural trade at 
that time by the Singapore Botanical Garden. Machfillan (193) 
includes it among the species cultivated in the tropics, calling 
it a "Large straggling sh.[rub] or small tree. L.[eaves] large, 
tomentose. Fls. pink, in large cymes. S. China." 

Vernacular names reported for the species are "pan ko fa" 


lectors and/or herbaria whose names, unfortunately, he gives only 
in Chinese characters. 

Under Genus 1%, Callicarpa, in the Linnean Herbarium in London, 
sheet no. 2 is inscribed "tomentosa" in Linnaeus' handwriting and 
"cana" in Solander's writing. The specimen is neither C. tomento— 
sa (L.) Murr. nor C, candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. [the taxon which 
used to be called C. cana L.], but is plainly typical C. mudiflora 
Hook. & Arn.! Sheet no. 3 in the same folder, unidentified, is 
actually C. candicans. 

Material of C. nudiflora has been misidentified and distributed 
in herbaria under the names C. macrophylla Vahl, C. purpurea A. L. 
Juss., C. tomentosa Willd., and Premna arborea Roth. On the other 
hand, the R. C. Ching 7291, distributed as C. nudiflora, is actu-

In all, 131 herbarium specimens and ) mounted photographs of C.

Recent collectors refer to this plant as a shrub, 2—}; feet 
tall, growing in woods, open pine woods, and cutover scrubby pine- 
land on serpentine-limonite plateaus, as well as on wet savannas, 
at 800 m. altitude, flowering in April, July, November, and Decen- 
ber, and fruiting in April, July, and December. Webster calls it 
"a rare shrub with purple berries"; actually the fruits are drupes. 
Marie-Victorin and his associates tell us that it grows with Anas- 
traphia victorinii and in Pinus cubensis woods. The corollas are 
described as having been "pink" on R. A. Howard 5900, "pale, al- 


C. Bucher 100g, 100u, 100w, & 100y, "pale lavender" on Mrs. G. C. 
Bucher 100 L, and "brighter lavender, almost purple” on her 100m. 
Mrs. Bucher has provided me with a large series of specimens 
from the Moa region of Oriente, Cuba. For a time I was of the o- 
pinion that her no. 16, at least, was worthy of specific designa- 
tion as C. inopina Moldenke, but her series of no. 100's contains 

examples of so many variations and intergradations that it seems 

to me now that all her collections had better be included in Ur- 
ban's C. oblanceolata. A modified description, based on her no. 
16, is as follows: "Shrub; branches slender, gray, densely farina- 
ceous with gray or whitish furf, very much less so in age, obscure- 
ly tetragonal, somewhat flattened and ampliate at the nodes; nodes 
not annulate; principal internodes 1—3 cm. long or the uppermost 
more abbreviated; leaves decussate-opposite, abundant; petioles 
slender, 5—1l1 m. long, grayish-farinaceous, obscurely and shal-

lowly canaliculate above, keeled beneath; leaf-blades coriaceous, 
gray-green above when mature, brunnescent above in drying when 
immature, sordid-grayish or -yellowish beneath both when immature 
and mature, narrowly elliptic, 2—-l.7 cm. long, 8—17 m. wide, 
blunt or subacute at the apex, entire and slightly revolute along 
the margins (occasionally strongly revolute toward the base on 
older leaves), minutely white-stellate above when immature, glab- 
rescent and shiny in age, often sparsely impressed black-punctate 
toward the base above, acute at the base, very densely stellate— 
tomentellous or -farinaceous with very closely appressed whitish 
or yellowish furf beneath; midrib slender, impressed above, prom- 
inent beneath; secondaries very short, about 7 per side, ascending, 
arcuate toward the margins and there rather obscurely anastomosing 
beneath; veinlet reticulation sparse, indiscernible above, only 
the largest portions discernible beneath; inflorescence supra- 
axillary; cymes usually one pair at the termination of the year's 
growth, 2.5--3.5 cm. long, 1.5--2.5 cm. wide, many-flowered, sev- 
eral times dichotomous, densely yellowish-furfuraceous throughout; 
peduncles slender, about 1 cm. long, flattened; pedicels minute 
or obsolete; bractlets 1 mm. long or less, subulate, densely yel- 
lowish-furfuraceous; prophylla obsolete; calyx campanulate, firm, 
subtetragonal, about 2.5 mm. long and 2 mm. wide, sparsely granu- 
lar-pulverulent outside, its rim subtruncate, minutely apiculate; 
corolla small, hypocrateriform, its tube broadly infundibular, 
cylindric at the base, about 2 m. long, broadly ampliate above, 
glabrous (or very sparsely granular—pulverulent at the apex out- 
side), its limb l-parted, the lobes broadly elliptic-lingulate, a- 
bout 1.2 mm. long and wide, obtuse at the apex, sparsely gramlar- 
pulverulent outside; stamens 4, inserted about 0.5 mm. above the 
base of the corolla-tube; filaments filiform, to 3.5 mm. long, 
glabrous, one sometimes much shorter; anthers oblong, to 1.2 mn. 
long and 0.7 m. wide, opening by longitudinal slits. 

Mrs. Bucher's nos. "10a, 100b, 100e, & 100h have the leaf- 
blades decidedly pale beneath, 1 Toor & | & 100j hav have them pale and 
with curled edges, 100m has peated extra “wide, 100k has them wide 
and also pale, 100q has has them long and slender, 10 100y has all the 
edges of the leaf-blades revolute, 100s gata HIRE both large and 
small leaves on the same branches (it w. was collected in November, 
the rainy season), 100v has wide leaves said by the collector to 
be "very tan underneath, not gray", 100w has its leaf-blades sparse- 
ly dentate toward the apex and is said by the collector to have had 
“wider leaves and scattered flowers", 100r also shows the leaves 
decidedly toothed at the apex and of it the collector notes "These 
certainly look different — wavy edges — smaller flowers in more 
delicate arrangement", concerning 100c & 100d she says "All these 
leaves look different, more veined, rougher a and wider", and con- 
cerning 100g she asks "and what of this leaf, under [side] not 
clean tan?" -clément 4122 has its leaf-blades all sharp—pointed at 
the apex, while Leén & & Clément 23128 [July 1949] has relatively 
huge leaves and certainly does not look like C. oblanceolata at all!

BOOK REVIEWS 
Alma L. Moldenke 


"BEFORE NATURE DIES" by Jean Dorst, translated by Constance D. 
Sherman, 352 pp., illus., Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, Mass. 
02107. 1970. $8.95. 


These well expressed thoughts about this most important topic 
first appeared in Switzerland in 1965 under the title of "Avant 
que Nature Meure". The translator has rendered a faithful and 
smooth language switch such as she previously provided in the 
author's earlier "Migration of Birds" and has also brought statis- 
tical materials up to date. The book is well illustrated with 
colored and black-and-white photographs and line drawings, well 
indexed, and well documented with bibliography. 

Contrasting the minor effects of the smaller mumber of pre- 
industrial humans on their environment with that of the burgeoning 
populations of today that are destroying the land, water, air and 
energy sources, the author provides valid, concrete and convincing 
suggestions of how modern man can live as one with nature and so 
provide for his ow survival. 

The printing is neat and easily legible. Only two small errors 
were noted: on p. 257 the letter "v" is inverted in "have" and on 
p. 323 the "f" is omitted in "four". On p. 187 "wheat smut" is 


equated with Lychnis [Agrostemma] githago. 


"MAN AND THE NATURAL WORLD — An Introduction to Life Science" by 
Coleman J. & Olive B. Goin, x & 63 pp., illus., The Macmil- 
lan Company, Riverside, New Jersey 08075. 1970. $9.95. 


In the preface to this attractive text the authors state that 
they "believe that the general student, to be a well-informed 
citizen, should not only have an understanding of his ow body, 
his own reproductive process, and his own inheritance, but should 
also have a sufficient biological background to comprehend the 
problem of population control, the genetic effects of radiation, 
the implications of pollution, and the basic concepts of behavior 
[and they] do not feel that such technical details as the anatomy 
of the clam or the whole series of reactions involved in the tri- 
carboxylic acid cycle are a necessary part of the core of know- 
ledge of a banker, lawyer, merchant, or housewife." This emphasis 
is logical and the approach is simple: in fact, so simple that it 
does not go much beyond the better of the new high school biology 
texts. But the use of this text is far wiser for the non-biology 
major than those texts so burdened in their opening chapters with 
detailed microbiology and biochemistry that the students are not 
"turned on" by this wonderful field of learning. 

Many of the diagrams are beat 9 helpful but the one on p. 125

adds nothing but errors. 

The references given after each chapter are usually easily ac- 
cessible and easily readable, but no references are given to such 
a popular scientific work as Dr. Paul Ehrlich's "Population Bomb" 
and other writings. 

On p. 161 apparently is misspelled and on p. 126 an infinitive 
is split. 


"INTRODUCTION TO THE FINE STRUCTURE OF PLANT CELLS" by Myron C. 
Ledbetter & Keith R. Porter, ix & 188 pp., illus., Springer- 
Verlag, Heidelberg, Berlin, New York, N. Y. 10010. 1970. 
$1.80. 


With 51 exquisite oversized full plates and 8 text figures, 
with matching and provocative text, and with related literature 
references for each, the authors have presented a work of art and 
science to viewers. These should be many, many more than just 
the amateur, student, teaching and professional cytologists and 
electron microscopists. What a pleasure and orienter this col- 
lection of electron micrographs could be for all beginning and 
stumbling biology students first at their microscopes! All schools 
should have a few copies of this book on their library shelves, 
especially since the price is so reasonable. 

This atlas includes general and fine cell structure, dividing 
cells, cell walls and plasmodesmata, vascular tissues, sc(h)leren- 
chyma and collenchyma, epidermal cells and variants, photosynthet- 
ic cells and apparatus, cells with special inclusions, and germin- 
ative cells. 

The printing and paper are of high quality. On p. 3) Allium 
is misspelled; on p. 121 the genus and species names are run to- 
gether. 


"THE VEGETATION OF THE NEW JERSEY PINE=BARRENS — An Ecologic 
Investigation" by John W. Harshberger, xi & 329 pp., illus., 
map, unabridged republication of the 1916 edition. Dover 
Publications Co., New York, N. Y. 10014. 1970. $3,50 
paperback. 


Especially because of the increasing interest in ecology on the 
part of the general public as well as that of the scientists and 
because of airfield construction threats, many scientists and 
aroused citizens will be interested in studying and preserving 
this distinctive area in New Jersey. This sturdy paperback book 
will provide valuable and interesting information. It is so good 
to have it freshly available now. It is hoped that the companion 
volume by Witmer Stone, "The Plants of Southern New Jersey, with 
Especial Reference to the Flora of the Pine-Barrens and the Geo- 
graphic Distribution of the Species", may also be made similarly 
available soon. 

Harshberger deals with the following topics: physiography and 
geography, man's commercial effects, various phytogeographical 


1971 Moldenke, Book reviews 351 


formations, plants of each area, cone production, insect galls, . 
and finally pine-barren plants from an evolutionary viewpoint. The 
many photographs add considerably to the text and in some cases 
show "what was" under a present farm or housing development. 
Naturally the plant nomenclature is that of 60 years ago and the 
index is still far from complete. 


"PROGRESS IN PHYTOCHEMISTRY", Volume 2 edited by L. Reinhold & Y. 
Liwschitz, ix & 512 pp., illus., Interscience Publishers of 
John Wiley & Sons, London, New York, N. Y. 10016, Sydney & 
Toronto. 1970. $27.50. 


This series performs effectively a necessary service for both 
the "initiated and the uninitiated" who wish to keep abreast of the 
rapid developments in phytochemistry. The eight papers are well 
written, well printed (accessory is misspelled on p. 150), well 
illustrated and well documented with full and recent biblio- 
graphies. All is indexed. 

‘The topics are: 1 - biochemistry of pollen, 2 - C},-dicarboxylic 
acid pathway in photosynthesis affecting different chloroplasts 
and conditions than the Calvin cycles, 3 - fraction-l protein and 
photosynthetic COo-fixation in chloroplasts, ) - mutual and antag- 
onistic relations among certain plants, their insect visitors and 
avoiders, their isoprenoids, and the role and development of 
specialized insect hormones in plants, 5 - non-protein amino acids 
in plants and their antimetabolite actions, 6 = prenyl phytoquin- 
ones including the role polyprenyl quinones as redox carriers in 
electron transplant and coupling agents from it to phosphoryla- 
tion in mitochondria and chloroplasts, 7 - ethylene with its 
abscissic and fruit ripening actions, and 8 - limonoids limited 
to the Meliaceae and the Rutaceae and quassinoids limited to the 


Simaroubaceae. 


"THE INDUCTION OF FLOWERING — Some Case Histories" edited by L. 
T. Evans, 488 pp., illus., Cornell University Press, Ithaca, 
N. Y. 14850. 1969. $18.50. 


Between the covers of this book is well gathered and carefully 
evaluated a vast amount of valuable material in a most convenient 
form. The case histories by different authors are of Xanthium 
strumarium, Glycine max, Pharbitis nil, Perilla, Chenopodium r ru- 
brum, Lemn a perpusilla, Cannabis sativa, Kalanchoé blossfeldiana, 

Fragari da, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Aral Arabidopsis th thaliana, Sinapis 
alba, Toltum temulentum, Silene armeria, Brassica campes campestris, Ana- 
gallis arven arvensis, Pisum sativum, Lycopersicon esculentum, Cestrum 
nocturnum and Bryophyllum. Ea ‘ Each is discussed with reference to 
experimental work according to the following topics: history, 
growth and growing techniques, inflorescence structure, effects of 
aging, vernalization, photoperiod response, spectral dependence, 
endogenous rhythms, fractional induction, photoperiodic inhibition 


352 PH YP ORL O2G. Tee Vol. 2, no. 5 


and dual responses, effects of temperature and mineral nutrition 
and gas composition, translocation of the floral stimulus, graft- 
ing, growth promoters and retardants, florigenic extracts, in- 
duction of excised apices, and chemical and ultrastructural 
changes at induction. 

The final chapter is an excellent summary by the editor. "In- 
ductive photoperiodic conditions lead to the export from leaves of 
floral stimuli which may differ between plants. Non-inductive 
conditions can lead to the export of inhibitors of flower evoca- 
tion, whose production is also under photoperiodic control. 
Besides these primary photoperiodic stimuli there may also be pro- 
duced a more stable, and possibly more universal, graft- 
transmissible flower hormone. This can be generated, indepen- 
dently of floral evocation, by extended photoperiodic induction 
of leaves (Perilla), or by secondary induction of young leaves 
(Xanthium) or defoliated leaves (Silene), or simply with increas- 
ing age (Pisum). There is thus a multiplicity of floral stimuli, 
and what is a positive stimulus to floral evocation in one plant 
or condition may be inhibitory to it in another, as are the 
gibberellins and abscisin." 

Each paper is well printed and has its own detailed biblio—- 
graphy, adding so much to all the valuable data given. 

The price is more astronomical than botanical! 


TWO NEW VARIETIES OF PIPEWORT 
Harold N. Moldenke 


LEIOTHRIX DUBIA var. VILLOSA Moldenke, var. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei pedunculis densissime albo—- 
villosis pilis antrorsis recedit. This variety differs from the 
typical form of the species in having its peduncles very densely 
white-villous with antrorse hairs. 

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, H. Maxwell, 
and D. C. Wasshausen (no. 204,81) in a wet campo in an area of campo 
slopes and sandstone outcrops in the Serra do Cipé, at km. 115 about 
14,0 km. north of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on February 
19, 1968, and is deposited in the Britton Herbarium at the New York 
Botanical Garden. 


SYNGONANTHUS DENSIFLORUS var. GLABRESCENS Moldenke, var. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis vaginisque glabris 
vel subglabratis recedit. 

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, R. Souza, 
J. W. Grear, and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 17022) on a periodically 
flooded campo, 00 m. alt., ca. 30 km. S. of xavantina, Mato Grosso, 
Brazil, on June 12, 1966, and is deposited in my personal herbarium 
at Plainfield, New Jersey.

CERTAMEN MELASTOMATACEIS XVII. 


John J. Wurdack 
U. S. National Herbarium, Smithsonian Institution 


The present melastome miscellany continues the notes on 
neotropical species based on data from my European trip under 
the auspices of the Snithsonian Research Foundation and subse- 
quent loans (Phytologia 20: 369-389. 1970; Phytologia 21: 115- 
130. 1971). Included also is the beginning of publication on 
the numerous collections assembled by J. Terborgh,T. R. Dudley, 
J. Knox, M. T. Madison, and F. Wolfe from the region of the 
northern outlier of the Cordillera Vilcabamba; this Peruvian 
material was gathered under the auspices of the National 
Geographic Society and National Science Foundation (Grant GB- 
12378). Of course too, no melastome article would be complete 
without some inclusion of the taxonomic problems continually 
uncovered by Julian Steyermark and others in Venezuela.

altis. 

Type Collection: T. R. Dudley 10595 (holotype NA; isotype 
Us), collected in dense montane rainforest on steep damp banks 
bordering Knox's Cascade, ca. 14 km NE from Hacienda Luisiana 
and Rio Apurimac, Cordillera Vilcabamba, Prov. Convencion, 
Depto. Cuzco, Peru, 73° 35' W, 12° 35' N, elev. 1730 m, 28 June 
1968. "Small tree 15-25 ft., 2-6 in. diam.; branches stiffly 
ascending; lvs. dark green, glossy; fl. in terminal inflores- 
cence, deep pink; anther horns deep purple.” 

Paratype (topotypical): 1. R. Dudley 10583 (NA, US). 

Meriania boliviensis has relatively broader and basally 
less attenuate leaf blades, with distinctly stellulate-pinoid 
primary vein hairs on the lower surface (a few simple caducous 
setulae intermixed); the hypanthia are densely covered with 
stellulate-pinoid hairs (sone hairs with protracted setuliform 
tips) and the densely pinoid-puberulent external calyx teeth 
project ca. 3 mm beyond the interior lobes. Both species have 
the basal connective spur on the small stamens much flattened 
and broadened. Cogniaux' anther dimensions for M. boliviensis 
apparently are from a bud, as mature anthers (Bang 288) are 9 or 
6 mm long (dry), with the dorsal ascending appendage somewhat 
smaller than in M. vilcabambensis. Another relative (ex char.) 
of M. vilcabambensis, the Colombian M. tuberculata Triana, 
differs at least in the (essentially) basally 7-nerved leaf 
blades with rounded bases, somewhat costate hypanthia, and 
shorter calyx lobes, as well as (if my determinations of several 
recent Antioquia collections are correct: Daniel 1712; Core 1673 
Scolnik & Barkley 19An197; Johnson & Barkley 186835) the stellu- 
late-pinoid trichomes. Both of the recently described Cuzco 
species, M. cuzcoana Wurdack and M. vargasii Wurdack, are quite 
different vegetatively from M. vilcabambensis; the latter of the 
two has somewhat the same leaf shape, but abundant foliar and 
hypanthial pubescence and much longer external calyx teeth. 


SALPINGA PERUVIANA (Cogn.) Wurdack, comb. nov.

Macrocentrum peruvianum (Cogn.) Macbride, Field Mus. Publ. 
Bobs Js 27 «i 1eo 
The phytogeography and fruit leave no doubts as to the pro- 
per generic disposition of Cogniaux' variety; Macbride was 
correct in his 1929 remarks about the distinctness from M. 
fasciculatum. To S. peruviana, I have referred F. Wolfe 12319 
NA, US), from the slopes of the Cerros del Sira, southwestern 
slope of the Rfo Llullapichi watershed, Depto. Hudnuco, Peru, 
elev. 1290 m ("Ascending herb; fl. white"); the Hudnuco material 
has somewhat smaller (to 1.9 X 1.3 cm) leaf blades than in the 
Weberbauer collection. Salpinga peruviana differs from S. 
maranonensis Wurdack in the smaller leaf blades with shorter 
0.5-1 mm long ) and less persistent hairs on the upper surfaces, 
as well as the smaller flowers and fruit (petals 4-5 mm long and 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 355 


white, rather than 16-19 mm long and pink; fruiting body 4-5 m 
shorter). The Colombian S. dimorpha (Gleason) Wurdack and the 
Peruvian S. ciliata Pilger differ at least in the larger and 
more prominently toothed leaf blades and larger flowers. 


LEANDRA STEYERMARKII Wurdack, sp. nov.

basaliter paulo (0.2 mm) prolongato non appendiculato. Stigma 
truncatum; stylus glaber, 4 X 0.25 mm, in ovarii collo 0.3 m 
immersus; ovarium (unum dissectum) 4-loculare 0.6 inferum, apice 
conico 0.6 mm alto granuloso sparse setuloso (setulis ca. 10, 
0.1-0.15 mm longis). 

Type Collection: J. A. Steyermark & G. S. Bunting 102757 
(holotype US 2585847A; isotype VEN), collected near the airport 
at San Carlos de Rfo Negro, Terr. Amazonas, Venezuela, elev. 

125 m, 17-18 April 1970. "Vining; stem slender; leaves membra- 
nous, rich green above, pale green below with raised nerves; 
petioles green, with brownish hairs; inflorescence branches pale 
green; calyx pale green; petals white." 

Both suggested relatives are erect shrubs with leaf blades 
about 2-3 times as large as in L. steyermarkii and stamen connec- 
tives not at all prolonged. Leandra aristigera has longer 
external calyx teeth and longer corolla mucros, while L. 
lasiopoda has shortly pseudo-plinerved leaf blades with broadly 


356 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 6 


acute bases. Despite my recent perplexity with this complex 
(Phytologia 20: 377-378. 1970), L. steyermarkii seems specifi- 
cally distinct. In vegetative pubescence, the San Carlos 
species resembles Clidemia stellipilis (Gleason) Wurdack and 
in habit, Clidemia epibaterium DC.

Type Collection: T. R. Dudley 11489 (holotype US 2587599A; 
isotype NA), collected in rainforest at edge of Rfo Mapitunuari 
ca. 4 km NE from Hacienda Luisiana and Rfo Apurimac, 12° 30' S, 
74° 30' W, Prov. Convencion, Depto. Cuzco, Peru, elev. ca. 670m 
31 July 1968. "Heavy robust many-stemmed clump-forming shrub 
15-20 ft. tall; lvs. dark green and glossy above, yellowish and 
glossy below, up to 2.5 ft. long; fl. white; mature fruit brown- 
ish purple.” 

Paratypes: Dudley 11509 (fruiting) and M. T. Madison 10045 
(young bud), both topotypical; Killip & Smith 25891 (US), from 
Porvenir, Pichis Trail, Depto. Junin, Peru, elev. 1500-1900 m. 

Miconia phlebodes has obtuse- to truncate-based leaf blades 
with finer venule areoles, hypanthia granulose-furfuraceous, 
petals granulose externally, anthers with narrower pores and 
bilobed connective bases, and granulose ovary apices. Miconia 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 357 


herrerae Gleason has similar foliage but larger trichomes, 
smaller inflorescences with pleiostemonous flowers glomerulate 
only at the branchlet ends, broader hypanthia, and relatively 
wider petals (2.5 X 1.6-1.9 mm); although several recent collec- 
tions have been attributed to M. herrerae, the only one truly 
comparable with the holotype is Vargas 18339 (Macchupicchu, 
Cuzco), the other material so identified actually being related 
(undescribed?) to M. eriocalyx Cogn., M. falcata Cogn., and 

M. dipsacea Naud. None of the other Miconia species with gross 
facies similar to M. dudleyi (M. zubenetana Macbride, M. egensis 
Cogn.) seems closely related in floral features. The Junin 
collection of M. dudleyi was mistakenly distributed as M. 
scorpioides (S. & C.) Naud.; that widespread species (correctly 
M. trinervia [Sw.] Don ex Loud.) has plinerved leaf blades and 
flowers unilateral on the inflorescence branchlets. 


MICONIA SPENNEROSTACHYA Naud. 

Miconia pauciglandulosa Naud., Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot. 
16: 183. 1851. 

All of the Poeppig collections (W) cited by Cogniaux show 
nectaries adaxially on the petiole apices or leaf blade bases 
and flowers secund on the ultimate inflorescence branchlets; the 
buds of Mathews 1305 (FI) have anther connectives basally with 
glands. Gleason (Bull. Torrey Club 58: 237. 1931) and Macbride 
(Field Mus. Publ. Bot. 13, 4: 454. 1941) had earlier (and 
correctly) synonymized M. aspiazui Macbride and M. nectaria 
Macbride under M. spennerostachya. The leaf shape and degree 
of plinervation are quite variable; M. aspiazui conforms to 
M. spennerostachya var. angustifolia Cogn. Among the available 
collections, the amount of plinervation and also nectary develop- 
ment is least in Klug 2620. Despite the previous descriptions, 
all material of M. spennerostachya has the petals granulose, the 
styles sparsely to moderately beset with clavate glands basally, 
the ovary apices moderately beset with minute glands, and the 
ovaries predominantly 4-5-celled. Undoubtedly the closest rela- 
tive of M. spennerostachya is M. venulosa Wurdack, with no 
foliar nectary development and eglandular anther connectives; 
recent collections of M. venulosa include Asplund 18898 (Napo- 
Pastaza, Ecuador), Prieto ChuP-10 (Santiago-Zamora, Ecuador) 
and Woytkowski 7539 (Loreto, Peru; distributed as M. prasina). 


MICONIA BUNTINGII Wurdack, sp. nov.

ovarii apicem ca. 0.3 mm immersus; ovarium 3-loculare 4 inferum 
apice conico paullulo lobulato vix granuloso. 

Type Collection: J. A. Steyermark & G. S. Bunting 102930 
(holotype US 2585825A; isotype VEN), collected in rainforest 
7-9 km from Yavita on the way to Pimichfn, Terr. Amazonas, 
Venezuela, elev. 125 m, 22 April 1970. "Tree 8 m; leaves 
membranous, dull green above, dull green below with dull yellow 
nerves and midrib.” 

Miconia tetragona has sharply tetragonal young branchlets 
with substellulate hairs ca. 0.05 mm diam., hypanthia resinous- 
granulose outside, small anthers not appendaged, and a sub- 
peltate stigma ca. O.7 mm diam. Miconia perturbata Wurdack has 
firmer very shortly blunt-acuminate leaf blades glabrous on the 
lower surface, larger flowers, and definite triangular calyx 
lobes 0.2-0.3 mm long. Other Miconia species with vegetative 
and inflorescence aspect rather similar to M. buntingii include 
M. regelii Cogn. (inflorescence branches opposite; anthers 
longer), M. tetrasperma Gleason and M. tetraspermoides Wurdack 
(firmer leaf blades, acute petals, long anther thecae), and 
M. pilgeriana Ule (firmer and somewhat larger leaf blades, 
basally exappendiculate anther connectives, and rimose anther 
thecae rounded at the apex). The anther dehiscence in M. 
buntingii was not ascertainable from the mature flower buds. 
Miconia eugenioides Triana grows in the same region as M. 
buntingii, but is distinguishable by the finer pubescence, 
firmer leaf blades glabrous on the lower surface, much longer 
acutish petals, lanceate anther thecae with cordulate connec- 
tive appendages, and truncate ovary apices. 


MICONIA MALATESTAE Macbride 

Collected thrice recently at Carpish, Huanuco, Peru 
(Asplund 13118; Ferreyra 2295; Hutchison, Wright, & Straw 5940), 
the species is distinguishable by the large firm finely serru- 
late leaf blades with stout petioles and the well-developed 
cauline nodal flaps. Macbride had placed M. malatestae in Sect. 
Miconia; however, I believe that it is a dioecious species of 
Sect. Cremanium, known still only from female collections and 
best placed near M. coelestis (Don) Naud. The type material of 
M. coelestis (FI, OXF) shows similar but smaller flowers (also 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 359 


female, with abortive anthers) and branchlet nodes without 
developed flaps (the obscure interpetiolar lines marked by 
roughened setulae 0.3-0.5 mm long). 


MICONIA TABAYENSIS Wurdack, nom. nov. 

Miconia micrantha Pittier, Bol. Soc. Venez. Cienc. Nat. 11: 
27. 1947, nec M. micrantha Cogn. (Bull. Torrey Club 23: 16. 
1896) nec M. micrantha Pilger (Verh. Bot. Ver. Brand. 47: 173. 
1905; M. wittii Ule, nom. nov., Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berl. 6: 
367. 1915). 

Pittier published a nomen nudum (Cat. Fl. Venez. 2: 236. 
1947) based upon Gehriger 595 and in the same year the des- 
eription for M. micrantha based on the same collection; the 
Instituto Botanico material has a third (but unpublished) 
binomial indicated on their specimens. Aristeguieta and 
Steyermark both have indicated (in correspondence) that the 
relative dates of publication in 1947 cannot be established. 
Miconia tabayensis is distinctive in its lower leaf surfaces 
sparsely to moderately setulose with apically irregularly 
branched or barbellate hairs 0.2-0.7 mm long. Another collec- 
tion (topotypical) of M. tabayensis is Gehriger 382 (distrib- 
uted as M. resimoides Cogn.), with male flowers; Gehriger 595 
is female. Miconia laetevirens Uribe is superficially rather 
like M. tabayensis, but has shorter less barbellate pubescence, 
3-nerved leaf blades, and perfect flowers. Miconia purulensis 
Donn. Smith has pubescence of clavate apically roughened but 
basally smooth hairs and relatively narrower anther thecae 
(1 X 0.3 mm), but is also dioecious. Miconia boliviensis Cogn. 
has shorter (ca. 0.2 mn) clavate-pinoid hairs on the primary 
veins of the lower leaf surfaces, rather densely robust- 
ciliolate leaf margins, and considerably larger flowers. 
Miconia acanthocoryne Wurdack has thicker 3-nerved caudate- 
acuminate leaf blades and perfect flowers; the original stamen 
dimensions given (Phytologia 5: 128) were erroneously magnified 
by a factor of 3.

16: 236. 1851. 

Miconia epiphytica Cogn., DC. Mon. Phan. 7: 934. 1891. 

The type collections (OXF, P) of all the taxa have been 
examined; Cogniaux evidently never saw the Pavon type of M. 
latifolia, which is best matched in modern collections by Tovar 
4080 (US) from Huancavelica, Peru. The degree of setula develop- 
ment on stems and lower leaf surfaces is quite variable, but the 
floral features (especially the short anthers) seem constant. 
Both M. alpina Cogn. and M. fruticulosa Cogn. (material not at 
hand) must be evaluated in connection with M. latifolia. Miconia 
griffisii Macbride (isotype US) has hypanthia more-or-less setu-

differ in internal floral features from M. latifolia; it is 
perhaps infraspecifically distinct. Macbride described M. 
ottikeri as with 5-lobed fruiting calyces; however the US 
isotype has definitely 4-merous’ fruit. In M. ottikeri (but 
with no real conviction as to the specific distinctness from 

M. latifolia), I have placed two recent collections (both with 
larger leaf blades than the type; style and filaments glabrous): 
Wurdack 1688 and Sanchez 357, both from the Cerros de Calla- 
Calla, Amazonas, Peru. 


MICONIA THYRSIFLORA (Don) Naud. 

Miconia integrifolia Cogn., DC. Mon. Phan. 7: 936. 1891. 

Both types (G-BOISS, OXF) actually are identical, probably 
parts of the same collection. The species differs from M. 
latifolia in the densely pinoid-puberulous branchlets, entire 
leaf blades, slightly smaller flowers, densely (rather than 
sparsely) glandular-puberulous styles, and galeate (rather than 
capitellate) stigmas. The original publication by Don was as 
Cremanium 3; the chain of misspellings (as 
"thyrs idea") was started by De Candolle (Prodromus 3: 191. 
1828) and followed by Naudin, Cogniaux, and Macbride but not 
Triana; Naudin, rather than Triana, should be regarded as the 
combining author (having cited De Candolle who in turn cited 
Don), despite his spelling of the epithet. Macbride's note 
about the affinities with M. flavescens Cogn. was a perceptive 
remark; actually both M. flavescens and M. mandonii Cogn. have 
h-merous flowers and the latter species also has galeate stig- 
mas. As alluded by Macbride in the Flora of Peru, his photo- 
graph (17179) and that of Gleason (7-2) from the Berlin herb- 
arium are actually of M. nitida (Don) Naud., rather than M. 
thyrsiflora. Another, Pavon specimen mixup is with M. laurina 
(Don) Naud.; the Pavon collections (OXF, US, the latter ex 
Herb. Lambert) represent a form of M. media (Don) Naud. with 
essentially entire-margined leaf blades. Probably M. laurina 
should be regarded as a subspecies of M. media, but more 
collections are needed (cf. Phytologia 9: 421. 1964). 


ALLONEURON Pilger 

Among New World melastomes, two characters rarely occur, 
haplostemony and capsular fruit developing from an inferior 
ovary. The conjunction of these features appears only in 
Alloneuron Pilger, Cyphostyla Gleason, and Allomaieta Gleason. 
Other genera with haplostemony (no trace of the antepetalous 
stamens or staminodia) include Poteranthera Bongard (one of the 
two species), Siphanthera Pohl ex DC. (a few species), Monochae- 
tum Naud. (a few species), and Miconia R. & P. (one species, M. 
tetrandra [Sw. ] Naud.), all except Miconia with superior ovaries 
and capsular fruits. Diplostemonous genera with inferior 
ovaries followed by capsular fruit are Tateanthus Gleason and 
(ex descr.) Merianthera Kuhlm. Pittier (Journ. Wash. Acad. 
Sci. 19: 184. 1929) ascribed leathery capsules to Anaectocalyx 
latifolia Cogn.; the currently available collections of 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 361 


Anaectocalyx are insufficient to affirm or deny this feature. 
Cyphostyla and Allomaieta were segregated by Gleason into a 
separate tribe, Cyphostyleae; both genera have simple smooth 
trichomes and relatively large flowers with exappendiculate 
anthers and 5-celled ovaries. The present collections of the 
Cyphostyleae are quite inadequate for further generic elucida- 
tion; however, Cyphostyla hirsuta Gleason is currently being 
evaluated by Charles Schnell in connection with Conostegia 
myriasporoides Triana. 

While Macbride was studying the synonymy of Meiandra Mef. 
under Alloneuron (Trop. Woods 17: 13. 1929), the branchlet wood 
structure was found by Record to conform with that of the 
Miconieae rather than Memecyleae; further study of the anatomy 
of mature wood is ore a recent sample having been collected 
with Cuatrecasas 15764 (usw 33129). In superficial vegetative 
facies, the two species of Alloneuron from lowland Amazonian 
Peru and Colombia resemble Gesneriaceae; both species have 
stellulate as well as simple smooth hairs and pedicellate 
flowers unilaterally arranged on the inflorescence branchlets. 
The four species now being described differ from the original 
two in the pinoid to squamate trichomes (in the inflorescences 
microscopically and very caducously gland-tipped ) and nearly 
sessile glomerulate flowers (the glomerules perhaps actually 
with unilateral flowers borne on a much shortened axis, but 
this feature not really evaluable superficially in pressed 
specimens) ; nonetheless, in internal floral features, all six 
species are much alike. 

While Pilger described A. ulei Pilger as with 2-celled 
ovaries (followed by Macbride in the Flora of Peru), Markgraf's 
diagnoses for both species of Meiandra cited 3-celled ovaries; 
I believe that Markgraf's description of this feature is the 
correct one for the genus. The capsular dehiscence is at first 
central through the hypanthium wall, at length extending to the 
capsule apex; the seeds are pyramidate and smooth. As to 
flower-mery, A. ulei was cited as 4-merous, but the synonymous 
Meiandra minor Mgf. was described as 5-merous; in the only 
available “collection of A. ulei (Cuatrecasas 8847, from 
Florencia, Caqueta, Colombia), agreeing perfectly otherwise 
with the descriptions and type photograph (Macbride 17396), 
five petals are visible on each of three flowers and the ovary 
is definitely 3-locular. An isotype (NY) of A. maius (Mgf.) 
Mgf. ex Macbr. has been examined. ‘The three El Valle (Colombia) 
collections of Alloneuron have been generic irritations for me 
during the last 15 years; the Ayacucho (Peru) specimens, with 
both flowers and fruit, provided the correlative spark. 

The species of Alloneuron may be keyed as follows: 

1. Leaf blades equally pinnate-veined throughout; cauline 
internodal pubescence stipitate-stellulate (strogly 
barbellate at the apex) or stellulate.

CLIDEMIA RUBRA (Aubl.) Mart. and allies 

As is evident from the comments and classifications of 
previous workers in the melastomes, the complex of species 
around spp. 40-46 of Cogniaux' monograph is a taxonomically 

recalcitrant group; both Naudin (Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot. 17: 

331-332. 1852) and Gleason (Brittonia 3: 132. 1939) discussed 

the vegetative and floral variability. The floral details 

(especially the hypanthial, toral, and ovarial pubescence) 

recently have been examined by me on several hundreds of collec- 

tions, with only a few useful features adduced. Omitted from 
the present discussion are C. ulei Pilger and C. uribei Wurdack 

(which are reasonably distinct units) and C. aphanantha Sagot, 

C. micrantha Sagot, and C. francavillana Cogn. (inadequately 

known, with few or no topotypical recent collections). Also 

not considered is C. microthyrsa R. 0. Williams (with longish- 
pedicellate larger flowers); Irwin et al 54496 and 55152 from 

Suriname, as well as Krukoff 11822 from Maranhao, Brazil, are 

tentatively referred here. The C. rubra complex in Venezuela

CLIDEMIA MONANTHA L. Wms. 
This recently described species is well characterized by 


366 PHYTOL OG IA Vol. 21, no. 6 


the distinctly petiolate leaves (with rounded blade bases and 
basal primary veins), petals each with a subapical gland-tipped 
setula, and glabrous ovaries. Most of the Venezuelan specimens 
and one Costa Rican collection have some of the hypanthial hairs 
gland-tipped, but otherwise C. monantha is quite uniform. The 
species ranges from Mexico (Cerro San Martf{n, Vera Cruz, Sallé 
&n., BM), Honduras (Cortes, Molina 11431; Olancho, Molina 
Bush) , Nicaragua, Costa Rica (Guanacaste, Schnell 371; San 
Ramon, Tonduz 17842, Brenes 14296 and 14300), Panama (Panama. , 
Cerro Azul, Duke 9335), and Venezuela (Carabobo, Falcon, Lara, 
Miranda, Yaracuy). 


CLIDEMIA RUBRA (Aubl.) Mart. 

The Aublet type (BM) shows the largest leaves with petioles 
ca. 0.5 cm long and narrowly ovate blades 8 X 4.5 em (rounded at 
the base, not or scarcely plinerved) , as well as hypanthial 
hairs in part gland-tipped; reasonably good vegetative matches 
(also with gland-tipped hypanthial hairs) are Tutin 619 (BM) and 
Schomburgk 95(98) (BM, P, W). Of the synonyms cited by Cogniaux, 
Melastoma sessiliflora Vahl (C), C. heteromalla D. Don (OXF), 
and Sagraea cognata Steud. (W) agree with the Aublet concept; 
to this synonymy should be added C. platyphylla (Naud.) Cogn., 
the Ferreira holotype (P) of which is well matched by Schomburgk 
648 (P). As thus restricted, the species is known by recent 
collections from eastern Colombia (Amazonas, Schultes & Lopez 
16441 and 16443; Meta, Hermann 11203), Venezuela (Amazonas), 
Guyana (de la Cruz 1758, 2470, 3987; Graham 233; Hitchcock 
17149), Suriname (Maguire & Stahel 25039), French Guiana 

Broadway 161), Brazil (Amazonas, Fromm rh20, Santos 1468, Sota 
13063; Para, Spruce 776), Peru (Loreto, Martin & Lau-Cam 1197, 
Ferreyra 7847, Killip & Smith 29213, Dodson 2817), and Bolivia 

Mapiri region, Buchtien 989, 990, 1716), but not Central 
America. 


CLIDEMIA SERICEA D. Don 

Among the Cogniaux-cited synonyms not here placed under 
C. rubra (vide supra), Don's binomial is the oldest available 
one. Here belongs also Sagraea columnaefolia DC. (holotype M). 
The varieties described by Naudin, Cogniaux, S. Moore, and 
Hoehne under C. rubra are for a monographer to evaluate and 
transfer. As defined here, a vegetatively extraordinary welter 
remains; a few of the collections (Oersted 2831 and Schnell 
500, from Costa Rica; Stern, Eyde, & ae 1954 and Davidson 
676, from Chiriquf, Panama; Haught 5278, from Cauca, Colombia; 
Delgado 250, from Cerro Avila, Venezuela) have nearly or quite 
glabrous ovary apices, but vegetatively fall within C. sericea 
sens. lat. From notes made in London, the holotype (BM of 
Melastoma verticillata Miller is well matched by Philipson 2371 
and Linden 1155; the use of Miller's epithet is preempted in 
Clidemia. 


CLIDEMIA ATTENUATA (Naud.) Cogn. 


1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 367 


Because of the basally attenuate distinctly plinerved 
leaf blades with distinct petioles and non-glandular thial 
hairs, C. atten has been maintained as a species, (but with 
no real conviction), good matches for the Finlay type (P) being 
Cowan & Wurdack 31544 (Amazonas, Venezuela) and A. C. Smith 3306 
Kanuku Mountains, Guyana); Webster & Miller Ge» from 
Trinidad, perhaps also belongs here. Urban (Symb. Ant. 3: 47= 
48. 1902) noted that the Finlay collections at Paris, pur- 
portedly from "St. Thomas", were probably collected in Trinidad. 
In the Flora of Trinidad & Tobago, R. 0. Williams synonymized 
C. attenuata under C. rubra. In Central America, a vegeta- 
tively rather similar population occurs (the petioles somewhat 
shorter, the blades usually smaller), but the ovaries are 
glabrous (Mexico, Reko peer Honduras, Williams & Williams 
18344, Molina & Molina 14129, Molina 10095, Meyer 9923; Costa 
Rica, Skutch 2260; Panama, Blum & Godfrey 1736, Correa & 
Dressler 465). 


CLIDEMIA DEBILIS Crueg. 

As indicated in the Flora of Trinidad & Tobago, C. 
bonplandii (Naud.) Cogn. is synonymous with C. debilis. ‘The 
species is known from Trinidad, Venezuela (D. Federal, Bolfvar), 
and Brazil (Ceara, Pernambuco, Bahia). Because of the distinct- 
ly plinerved leaf blades and glandular-setulose hypanthia in 
C. aphanantha Sagot, I still have reservations about following 
R. O. Williams with a further synonym under C. debilis.

recent collections have varying proportions of such glandular 
trichomes. The holotype (P) of C. rariflora (Bonpl.) Cogn. has 
short (0.3-0.5 mm) cauline pubescence, nearly glabrous (except 
for the minute glands) upper leaf surfaces, and lower leaf 
surfaces with the setulae mostly confined to the primary and 
secondary veins; however, in other features (pubescence quality, 
fine leaf venulation, glandular-setulose hypanthia, inflores- 
cence form), it conforms at least specifically to C. fendleri. 
Until topotypical material is collected to fix the variability 
limits, no subspecific recognition seems warranted for the 
"Cumana" plants. Despite Cogniaux' monograph separation, 

C. fendleri is certainly very close to C. debilis, differing 
in the more evolved inflorescences.

REVIEW AND COMMENTS ABOUT A THING 


Otto & Isa Degener 


Between August 2 and 31, 1967, with the help of a $5,000 grant 
from the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy sponsored 4 
scientific expedition into Kipahulu Valley, Island of Maui, Hawai- 
jan Islands. Dr. Richard E. Warner, Foundaticn of Environmental Bi- 
ology, Berkeley, California, was leader of about twenty scientists 
of various biological disciplines and a variable number of guides, 
*paniola and porters. The specialists in the main volunteered 
their services or their institutions lent these men for the expedi- 
tiono 


The Conservancy copyrighted the result of the study in 1968 
under the title "Scientific Report of the KIPAHULU VALLEY EXPEDI- 
TION. Sponsored BY: THE NATURE CONSERVANCY. Edited By: Richard Ee 
Warner, Ph. D. Expedition Leader." The 184 loose-leaf pages, meas- 
uring 8 1/2 by 11 inches, are bound in a Manilla cover. There is a 
panoramic photograph of the valley itself, eight of expedition mem- 
bers, about 49 showing beautifully the type of vegetation, three 
about the endemic "picture-winged" fruit flies, and four of close=- 
ups of birds. In addition there are full-page maps of Kipahulu Val- 
ley showing expedition trails and locations of the three base 
camps; of soils; a topographic vegetation profile; and of vegetation 
respectively of the lower, the central, and the upper part of the 
valley 


Kipahulu Valley extends from sea level to 7,350 feet, more or 
less in a northwesterly direction, joinimg Haleakala National Park 
at its eastern end hundreds of feet above Paliku Cabin. The two mile 
wide valley funnels the trade winds. Its eight mile length is con- 
fined by two very steep ridges clothed largely with tapestry for- 
ests, here and there broken by shrubby ledges and some cliffs. The 
floor consists largely of two nearly parallel, sloping flats, the 
one about 700 feet higher than the other, especially toward the mid- 
dle-makai end. This unusual geologic structure is explained by the 
formation eons ago of a deeply eroded valley on Haleakala Volcano's 
flank followed by a period of filling by lava flows. During quies- 
cence of volcanic activity, one side of the partly filled valley was 
then badly eroded by the forerunner of Kaukauai Stream. With a 
fresh period of activity, this new valley within Kipahulu was part- 
ly filled with veneers of lava. Thus the higher flat, contrary to 
expectation, is much older than the lower one. 


The lower reaches of the valley from a biotic standpoint are not 
too interesting, being pasture overgrown with lemon guava and other 


*As Spaniards were the first cowboys in the Hawaiian Islands, paniola 
became the vernacular name for a man of this profession.

exotics. Nevertheless, geologically the area is locally interesting 
and delightful with the stream forming a series of pools - seven 


were "sacred" to the Hawaiians - of considerable fame but too pro- 
fane for discussion in a botanical reviewo 


The rest of the valley to the inversion layer at about 7,000 
feet is a dense rainforest. Below a transition band between 3,000 
and 4,000 feet, koa (Acacia) is the predominant tree; above, ohia 
lehua (Metrosideros) predominates, giving way mauka as the terrain 
becomes increasingly dry to such sclerophyllous shrubs as Dodonaea y 
Railliardia, Styphelia and Vaccinium. The summit slope is crowned 
with windy Flats of the endemic bunchgrass (Deschampsia hawaiiensis 
f. haleakalensis (Skottsb.) Ste John (incorrectly identified as D. 
nubigena) interspersed here and there with endemic bracken (Pterid- 
jum aquilinum var. decompositum (Caud.) Tryon, Pellaea ternifolia 
‘coe Link native to the Hawaiian Islands as well as to the Andes, 
and the endemic Neurophyllodes tridens (Hillebr.) Deg. & GreenwWo 


Though terrestrial shrubs and herbs as well as lianes and epi- 
phytes abound between 3,000 and 6,000 feet, the warm rainfall of 
perhaps 200 inches annually, augmented by abundant fog drip, stimu- 
lates bacterial decay and dissolution. As a result, the water-dren- 
ched soil is practically devoid of litter and exceptionally poor in 
saprophytic fungi. Above 6,000 feet, with less rainfall and cooler 
weather, the layer of litter can be two inches thick overlying 
three inches of hunus. Saprophytic fungi are abundant, having avail- 
able sustenance o

rain where the endemic bracken can survive with its under- 
ground rhizomes to the exclusion of other vascular plantse 
Pigs, with great ease, root out the rhizomes from the friable 
ash, pumice and cinders for foode) 

(Rats: Though certainly not in the Islands previous to the com- 
ing of the Polynesians in their huge double canoes, the Poly- 
nesian rat (Rattus exulans var. hawaiiensis Ellerman) in the 
eating of the orange, fleshy bracts and later of the sticky, 
ripe inflorescences of the Freycinetia have certainly aided the 
endemic crow (Corvus tropicus Gmelin) - now extinct except for 
one bird in captivity and perhaps a dozen wild on the Island of 
Hawaii - pollinate and later disseminate this liane.) 

129 (The rediscovery of the Maui nukupuu bird (Hemignathus lucidus 
var. affinis Rothschild) and the sighting of the Maui parrot- 
bill (Pseudonestor xanthophrys Rothschild) is not only of im- 
portance ornithologically, but of major importance botanicallyo 
The first bird was last seen in 1896; and the second probably 
in 1928, if we can believe the report of a sighting in neigh- 
boring Kaupo Gap by a surveying party. Many drepaniid birds, 
all endemic to the Archipelago, have evolved bills beautifully 
curved to penetrate the curves of mints, lobelias of many gen= 
era, and Camphusia for nectare According to W.E. Banko (Condor 
930121. 197 le)» a member of the Expedition, “Preservation of 
the ecological integrity of Haleakala's windward forest is 
thus of paramount importance to the survival of at least three, 
and possibly as many as six, Hawaiian birds." 


PAGE 


One of the main objectives of the expedition was "to prepare a re- 
port of the findings for the Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Depart- 
ment of Interior, including recommendations for acquisition, use, and 
longterm conservation of the areao" The part about birds and picture- 
winged Drosophila, we believe, will be arguments for politicians and 
intelligent laymen alike to conserve the area under the wing of the 
National Park Service. These are precisely the individuals who, with 
contacts and funds, can best implement a project to a successful con- 
clusione But the botanical part of the report is sorely disappoint- 
ing and not of much help. No striking plant, like a striking bird, 
was noted as threatened with extinction even though many, many kinds 
belong in this category! It took Dr. Ste John only until April 1970 
to describe and illustrate over a dozen novelties from the area (See 
Pace Scie 2539-792 1971e) such ast Panicum lamiatile, Panicum lus- 


triale, Peperomia kipahuluensis, Pelea anapanapaensis, Pelea clusii-

cens var. paludosa, Lagenophora viridis and Railliardia demissi- 
folia var. dolichophylla. Further botanical exploration will] un- 
doubtedly uncover many more plants new to Science. 


Had the importance of plants been stressed as much as of birds and 
insects, would not the report have been more effective? According to 
a local newspaper article dated April 3, 1971, " - - - the Nature Con- 
servancy in three years raised $1e2 million to buy 4,000 acres in 
Kipahulu Valley to add to Haleakala National Park on the promise the

Jackson (1893) credits a "Callicarpa arborea Wall." to "Wall. 
Cat. n. 1826, partim" and reduces it to synonymy under C. vestita 
Wall. Actually, Wallich proposed no such homonym. In the refer- 
ence cited he plainly accredits C. arborea to Roxburgh, citing 7 
specimens for what he regarded as the typical form of the species, 
and then proposes a variety which he designated "@ vestita". It 
is certainly the latter taxon to which Jackson refers.

Merrill's original (1919) description of this species is as 
follows: "A shrub, the branchlets, petioles, inflorescences, and 
lower surface of the leaves densely and uniformly cinereous- 
stellate-pubescent, the indumentum covering the entire surface. 
Branches terete, pale brownish, glabrous. Leaves elliptic to ob- 
long-elliptic, subcoriaceous, 5 to 8 cm long, 2.5 to cm wide, 
the apex rounded, obtuse, or sometimes subacute, base usually ob- 
tuse, margins entire below, in the upper part distinctly denticu- 
late, the upper surface brownish-olivaceous, glabrous or when 
young stellate-pubescent along the midrib; lateral nerves 5 to 7 
on each side of the midrib, curved, distinct as are the primary 
reticulations; petioles 5 to 10 m long. Cymes axillary, pe- 
duncled, dichotomous, up to 2.5 cm wide, the peduncles about 1.5 
em long; bracts linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 to 2.5 mm long; 
pedicels 0.5 mm long or less. Flowers rather crowded, pink. 
Calyx cup-shaped to obconic, about 1.6 m long, densely stellate- 
pubescent, the teeth 4, short. Corolla glabrous, 2.5 mm long, 
the lobes equal, orbicular-ovate, rounded,: nearly 1 m in diam- 
eter. Filaments and style 5 to 6 m long. Fruit globose, dark- 
brown and rugose when dry, about 2 mm in diameter." 

The type was collected by Maximo Ramos [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 
32921] at Burgos, in Ilcos Norte Province, Luzon, Philippine Is- 


378 Poesy FO LOnGrk & Vol. 21, no. 6 


lands, on July 27, 1918, growing in dry thickets at low altitudes, 
and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Bureau of 
Science at Manila, now lamentably destroyed. Merrill (1919) re- 
cords the vernacular name "anayop" and notes that "The alliance 
of this species is manifestly with Callicarpa blancoi Rolfe, from 


which it is especially distinguished by its elliptic to oblong- 
elliptic, usually rounded or obtuse, never acuminate leaves." 

The species is known thus far only from the original collec- 
tion.

Merrill's original (1918) description of this species is: 
"Frutex ad 3 m. altus, subglaber, ramulis junioribus parcissime 
et decidue stellato-pubescentibus; foliis brevissime petiolatis, 
anguste lanceolatis, usque ad 12 cm. longis et 1.5 cm. latis, 
chartaceis, utrinque subaequaliter angustatis, acuminatis, basi 
cuneatis, margine in 3/, superiore parte distincte serrulatis, 
supra glabris, subtus glandulosis, glabris, vel junioribus par- 
cissime stellato-pubescentibus, nervis utrinque 7 ad 9, curvato- 
adscendentibus, tenuibus; cymis axillaribus depauperatis, 2- vel 
3-floris, brevissime pedunculatis, pedicellis glabris, circiter 
mm. longis; fructibus globosis, 3 ad 3.5 mm. diametro, glabris, 
calycis persistentibus, glabris, truncatis. A slender shrub, 2 
to 3m. high, in age glabrous or nearly so, the young branchlets 
sparingly stellate-pubescent. Branches slender, terete, smooth, 
glabrous, grayish. Leaves narrowly lanceolate, chartaceous, 6 
to 12 cm. long, 0.8 to 1.5 cm. wide, narrowed at both ends, the 
upper surface glabrous, smooth, eglandular, brownish-olivaceous, 
shining, the lower surface slightly paler, distinctly pitted- 
glandular, glabrous, or when young sparingly stellate-pubescent 
near the midrib, the base cuneate, the apex rather slenderly but 
bluntly acuminate, the margins on the upper two-thirds distinct- 
ly serrulate; lateral nerves 7 to 9 on each side of the midrib, 
slender, curved-ascending, anastomosing, the reticulations slen- 
der, not prominent; petioles 2 mm. long or less. Cymes axillary, 
few, subsessile or shortly peduncled, depauperate, 2- or 3- 
flowered, the peduncles 2 mm. long or less, the pedicels not ex- 
ceeding mm. in length, glabrous. Fruit globose or subglobose, 
dark-brown when dry, 3 to 3.5 mm. in diameter, glabrous, the per-

sistent calyx truncate, giabrous." 

The type of the species was collected by Elmer Drew Merrill 
(no. 11060) in thickets along small streams, at an altitude of a- 
bout 900 meters, Loh Fau Mountain (Lofaushan), Kwangtung, China, 
on August 23, 1917, and was deposited in the herbarium of the 
Philippine Bureau of Science at Manila, now destroyed. The col- 
lector notes that the species is “rare, but a single plant seen. 
The alliance of this species is manifestly with the form common- 
ly known as Callicarpa purpurea Juss., but which should be known 
as C. dichotoma (Lour.) Raeusch. It differs in its relatively 
much narrower leaves, and depauperate, subsessile, very few-— 
flowered cymes." 

Immature green fruit was collected in August. Bakhuizen van 
den Brink (1921) reduces the species to synonymy under what he 
calls C. japonica var. dichotoma (Lour.) Bakh. Chang (1951) 
cites only the original collection and compares it with both C. 
dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch and with C. brevipes (Benth.) Hance. 

The Tsang 21346, distributed as C. oligantha, is actually C. 
japonica var. angustata Rehd. 

In all, 2 herbarium specimens, including the type, and 2 moun- 
ted photographs of C. oligantha have been examined by me.

Previous to receiving good material of this taxon and of the 
so-called C. iriomotensis Masam. and C. okinawensis Nakai from my 


380 Pn Y/TO TeOueerys Vol. 21, no. 6 


esteemed friend and colleague, Dr. E. H. Walker, I had tentative- 
ly regarded them as 3 distinct and valid species. Now, however, 
I feel that Hatusima (1959) is amply justified in reducing them 
to a single species with two varieties. He says "Above three 
forms of C. oshimensis which are distinguished as the following 
analytical key are not different in their essential characters, 
such as size of cymes, flowers and fruits, and the indumentum of 
branchlets and leaves, though size of leaves and cymes as well as 
the serration of leaves are considerably variable. Therefore, it 
seems advisable to reduce the above two forms from Okinawa and 
Yaeyama to the varietal rank, as the distinguishing characters 
mentioned above are very variable as in the other species of Cal- 
licarpa." He distinguishes the 3 taxa as follows: iw 
1. Leaf-blades regularly rhombic-ovate, 2--7 cm. long, acuminate 
at the apex, sharply and regularly coarse-serrate along the 
margins, cuneate at the base; cymes 1-~-3 cm. longesscrccesees

la. Leaf-blades rarely rhombic-ovate, often with shorter acumens 
and smaller, denser, and irregular serration.

smaller and denser serration; cymes usually less than 1 cm.

C. oshimensis var. iriomotensis. 

Masamune (1955) records the vernacular name "osimarurasaki" 
for C. oshimensis and gives its distribution as "Amami-osima (leg. 
Igoma) et (leg. Tasiro in G. Herb. Formos. n. 27877); Okinawa: 
Kunigami; Iheyazima; Iriomote?. Distr. Endanic." Hatusima (1959) 
gives the distribution of the typical form as only Amami-oshima 
and Tokunoshima Islands in the Ryukyu Archipelago. 

Wilson found the plant fruiting in February. Material has 
been misidentified and distributed in herbaria as C. shikokiana 
Mak. On the other hand, the Gressitt 532 & 563, 1té s.n. [23. Va 
1936], and Kawagoe s.n. [July 27, 1919], distributed as as typical 
C. oshimensis, are actually var. iriomotensis (Masam.) Hatus. 

In all, 3 herbariun specimens and 2 mounted photographs of the 
type collection of C. oshimensis have been examined by me.

For a statement on how this variety differs from the typical 
form of the species, see under C. oshimensis in this series of 
notes. Recent collectors describe the plant as a bush or shrub, 
1.8--6 m. tall, the stems 1.5--2 cm. in diameter, the branches 
spreading horizontally, and the (immature) fruit green or pale- 
green and moderately small. The corollas are described as "pink" 
on Hatusima 18600. 

The variety has been collected in the shade of large trees, 
in forests, at the edges of fringing forests, and in wet gulch 
bottoms in dense low scrubby forests, at altitudes of 12--200 n., 
flowering in May and June, and fruiting in June, August, and No- 
vember. Fosberg says that it is "occasional in undergrowth on 
broad or high densely wooded ridges", while Hatusima refers to it 
as a "common shrub" on Iriomote. Masamune (1955) says that it is 
endemic to Isjigaki, Iriomote, and Yonaguni in the Sakashima 
group of the Ryukyu Island Archipelago and records the vernacular 
name "Iriomote-murasaki-sikibu". Hatusima (1959) lists it only 
from Iriomote and Ishigaki. 

Material of this taxon has been misidentified and distributed 
in herbaria under the names C. japonica Thunb., C. okinawensis 
Nakai, and C. oshimensis Hayata. On the other hand, the Hatusima 
18577 & 24357, distributed as var. iriomotensis, are actually var. 
okinawensis (Nakai) Hatus. 

In all, 18 herbarium specimens of var. iriomotensis have been 
examined by me.

The characters by which this variety is distinguished from C. 
oshimensis Hayata and C. oshimensis var. iriomotensis (Masam.) 
Hatus. are enumerated in my discussion of C. oshimensis in this 
present series of notes. Nakai (1928), Masamune (1955), and 
Hatusima (1959) all agree that the variety is endemic to Okinawa. 
Masamune records the vernacular name “kogomemurasaki" and cites 
Masamune & Simabukuro s.n. [Yonawadake, Aug. 6, 1934]. He says 
that the "C. mollis Sieb. & Zucc." of Matsumura (1899), Kuroiwa 
(1900), E. H. Wilson (1920), Matsumura (1912), and Sakaguchi 
(192), insofar as they refer to Ryukyu Islands specimens, is ac- 
tually C. oshimensis var. okinawensis. The C. mollis accredited 
to Koorders and referred to in the synonymy above, is actually a 
synonym of C. caudata Maxim., that credited to Shirasawa is xC. 
shirasawana Mak., and that of Requien and of Willdenow is C. 
acuminata H.B.K., while that of Siebold & Zuccarini is a valid 
species. 

Recent collectors describe this plant as a shrub, 2m. tall, 
growing in the shade of trees, along forest paths, in small 
clearings, and at the edges of low spinnies, at 100--200 m. alti- 
tude, flowering in May, and fruiting in July. On Yonakuni Island

it is said by Hatusima to be "frequent in mountain thickets", but 
on Iriomote he reports it as "a rare shrub". The corollas are 
described as "pink" on Hatusima 180). 

Material of this variety has been misidentified and distribu- 
ted in herbaria under the names C. oshimensis Hayata, C. oshimen- 
sis var. iriomotensis (Masam.) Hatus., and Cc. ohshimensis var. 
iriomotensis (Masam.) Hatus. On the other hand, the Koidzumi s. 
n. {1—20.VI1.1923], distributed as var. oxtinrensts. is actually 


a mixture with var. iriomotensis. 

In all, 16 herbarium specimens and 1 mounted photograph of var. 
okinawensis have been examined by me.

The original description of this species (1928) reads as fol- 
lows in the English version: "A shrub about 3 m high; the thicken- 
ed branchlets and the lower surface of the leaves densely fulvo- 
tomentose with rather soft plumose and stellate hairs; branches 
terete or somewhat compressed at the nodes, pale grayish. Leaves 
chartaceous to subcoriaceous, broadly oblong-elliptic, 27 to 39 cm 
long, 1) to 21 cm wide, undulate-dentate, apex acutely acuminate, 
base acute, the upper surface olivaceous, glabrous, smooth, shin- 
ing, the Lower surface pale, somewhat yellowish, not at all glan- 
dular, very densely stellate-plumose-pubescent; lateral nerves a- 
bout 10 on each side of the midrib, very prominent, the reticula- 
tions distinct; petioles densely tomentose, somewhat angled, 4 to 
6 cm long. Cymes axillary, many-flowered, * dichotomous, very 
densely tomentose, pedunculate, 6 to 8 cm long, 5 to 10 cm wide. 
Flowers crowded, their pedicels 0.5 to 1 mm long; calyx membrana- 
ceous, cup-shaped, shortly l-lobed, tomentose, about 1.75 mm long; 
corolla h-lobed, 3 to 3.5 mm long, 2.5 to 3 mm in diameter, the 
lobes 1.25 to 1 5 mm long, about 1 mm wide, oblong-ovate, obtuse. 
Stamens , exserted, the filaments to 4.5 om long; anthers ob-

long, 1.25 to 1. mm long. Fruit globose, glabrous, 2 to 2.5 mm 
in diameter, surrounded at the base by the densely fulvo—tomentose 
calyx; bracts densely fulvo-tomentose, linear, up to 15 mm long, 
the bracteoles much shorter." 

The type of the species was collected by Maximo Ramos and Gre- 
at an altitude of about 1600 meters on Mount Alzapan, in Nueva 
Vizcaya Province, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on May 2), 1925, and 
was deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Bureau of Sci- 
ence but is now destroyed. 

Quisumbing & Merrill comment that this is "A species most 
closely allied to Callicarpa magnifolia Merrill, but with broadly 
oblong-elliptic, somewhat larger leaves, the margins undulate- 
dentate and the base acute." 

Recent collectors describe the plant as 3m. tall, the stems 
10 cm. in diameter, the (immature) fruit green, flowering and 
fruiting in May, growing in mossy forests at an altitude of 1600 
meters. The corollas on the type collection are described as 
"violet", but those on Kjellberg 1763 are said to have been 
white. 

Material of this species has been misidentified and distribu- 
ted in herbaria under the names C. pentandra var. cumingiana f. 
pentamera (H. J. Lam) Bakh., C. pentandra f. pubescens Bakh., and 
C. pentandra var. typica f. hexandra Bakh. 

In all, 9 herbarium specimens, including the type collection, 
and 2 mounted photographs of C. pachyclada have been examined by 
me.

Hooker & Arnott's original (1838) description of this species 
is "foliis coriaceis obovatis obtusissimis breve petiolatis laev- 
iter crenatis supra adultis glabris subtus dense cano-tomentosis 
reticulatim venosis, pedunculis petiolum aequantibus, floribus 
capitato-cymosis. Leaves an inch and a half long; the younger 
ones inclining to rust-colour beneath. The peduncles and peti- 
oles are densely stellato-tomentose, like the under side of the 
foliage." 

Standley (192) keys out the species of Callicarpa known to him 
from Mexico as follows: 

1. Leaf-blades obovate, very obtuse at the apex....C. parvifolia. 
la. Leaf-blades lanceolate to ovate, acute or acuminate at the 
apex. 
2. Leaves persistently but minutely stellate-pubescent on the 
UPPET SUPLACE..eeeececcecccecssececossccceseece acuminata. 
2a. Leaves glabrous on the upper surface except when very young. 
3. Leaves densely stellate-tomentose beneath.....C. pringlei. 
3a. Leaves sparsely stellate-tomentose beneath..ceccwcsseesee 
C. subpubescens. 

It should be noted, however, that C. subpubescens Hook. & Arn. 
has since Standley's work been proved not to grow at all in Mexi- 
co, but to be endemic to the Bonin Islands instead. Now it ap- 
pears that C. parvifolia does not occur in Mexico either. Dr. 

S. Hatusima, in a letter to me dated January 18, 1971, states "I 
am now studying the real status of Callicarpa parvifolia Hook. & 
Arn. described as from Mexico and [am] inclined to believe from 
the original description of this species and the following answer 
from Dr. R. M. Harley of the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, to whom I 
sent a leaf of C. nishimurae Koidz. irom the Bonins for comparison 
with the type of C. parvifolia Hook. et Arn. that C. parvifolia 
Hook. et Arn. is not from Mexico but from the Bonins. 'I have now 
examined the leaf of Callicarpa nishimurae Koidz. with those of 
the type of C. parvifolia Hook. et Arn. The similarity between 
the two is very striking, and the texture of the indumentum on 
the leaf undersurface appears identical, when viewed under a dis- 
secting microscope. There thus seems little doubt that, as you 
suggest, the type was collected in the Bonins, and not in Mexico. 
In our indetermined cover, we had a sterile specimen of C. parvi- 
folia collected in the 1930s from the Bonins, and this also agreed 
closely with the type....'" 

The original description of C. nishimurae by Koidzumi (1918) 
is as follows: "Ad C. paucinervia Merrill remote affinis, foliis 
crassioribus coriaceis ellipticis utrinque rotundatis supra pilis 
diutius persistentibus subtus indumento luteo-brunneo; calycis 
dentibus longis acutisque differt. Arbuscula? ramis vetustiori-

vatis, lamina 2—-5 cm. longa, 1,3--3,0 cm. lata; petiolis carnosis

ibus brevissime pedicellatis. Calyx glaber acute l-denticulatus 
glandulosus circ. 1,8 mn. altus. Nom. Jap. Urajiro-komurasaki. 
Distr. Bonini insl. Chichishima (leg. S. Nishimura! no. 72, Aug. 
15, 1917. This species is named in compliment to Mr. S. Nishimura 
who collected the plant." 

Hara (1948) cites as an illustration of this species a "f. 

288 (1938)", but unfortunately gives the name of the publication 
and its author only in Japanese characters. 

It appears, thus, that all previous writers, including myself, 
have been in error in ascribing C. parvifolia to Mexico. The orig- 
inal inscription to this effect on the type sheet at Kew was ap— 
parently an error in transcription, as it was in the case of C. 
subpubescens. Since Standley did his work on the trees and shrubs 
of Mexico, then, Mexico has "lost" two species of beautyberry, 
but it has also gained one he did not know about -- Cf. americana 
L., which occurs in Coahuila. me 

In all, 3 herbarium specimens, including the type, and 2 moun- 
ted photographs of C. parvifolia have been examined by me.

The type and apparently only known collection of this taxon is 
S. P. Ko 52908, collected in 1903 in Canton, Kwangtung, China, 
and - deposited in the herbarium of the Gvtantenl Institute of Sui

FOUR NEW SPECIES OF MOSSES FROM PERU 


Harold Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 


A number of undescribed species have been found in various 
small collections of Peruvian bryophytes sent for determination 
by A. Sagastegui and F. Ayala of Trujillo, and Dana Griffin III 
of Florida. Three of these species are described here and a 
fourth is described from misdetermined material obtained on loan 
from New York. These species all reflect the need for further 
work with the bryophytes of Peru. I have come to believe that 
Peru has more undescribed species and more unrecognized range 
extensions at this time than any other country in South America. 
I have already added two new species to the flora in recent 
years (Robinson, 1967), and one species has been described by 
Crum (1967). The new species are from various parts of Peru, 
but a number, including Barbula malagana Crum, are from the 
coastal region which I intend to dicuss more fully in another 
paper. It is sufficient to point out here that this coastal 
area and the "lomas" found there seem to have an unusually high 
percentage of endemic bryophyte species.

Planta dioica?, dense caespitosa pallide viridis, inferne 
sordida. Caules ca. 1 cm longi simplices vel parce ramosi. 
Folia caulina erecta laxe disposita, siccitate superne valde

The species is distinguished from others of the genus 
Trichostomum by the thickened margin. The margins of the leaves 
are actually erect to incurved but might seem slightly recurved 
because of the thickening. For this reason the species might be

compared with Trichostomopsis (Robinson, 1970) which, however, 
has only one stereid band in the costa. The type specimen of 
Trichostomum marginatum was originally determined as a member of 
the genus Barbula subgenus Asteriscium (= Trichostomopsis). 


Tortula acletoi H.Robinson, sp. nov. (Fig. 5-7). 


Planta dioica?, laxe caespitosa pallide viridis. Caules 
2-5 mm longi simplices vel parce ramosi. Folia caulina erecto- 
patentia, siccitate valde contorta, oblonga 2.0-3.5 mm longa ad 
1.0 mm lata late acuta saepe breve apiculata, margine argute 
serrulata erecta unistratosa; nervis prope besin ca. 80. latis 
percurrentis; cellulis basilaribus elongatis ca. 25, latis 
50-100, longis laevis pellucidis, margine 5-6 seriebus angust- 
issimis; cellulis mediis et superioribus quadratis vel sexangul- 
aribus 15-20, diam. multipapillosis; cellulis marginalibus fere 
usque ad apicem in 1-2 seriebus linearibus 5-10, latis 50-100, 
longis. Folia perichaetialia vix differentia aliquantum 
convoluta. Calyptrae cucullatae. Setae erectae 10-12 mm longae 
flavae vel rufescentes. Capsulae erectae cylindricae, 3.0-3.5 
mm longae sine operculis, laeves rufescentes; operculis longe 
conicis ca. 1.5 mm longis; dentibus filiformibus spiralibus ad 
1.5 mm longis, inferne coalitis. Sporae ovales 8-10, diam. 

Peru. Dept. Lima: Prov. Canta, Huascoy, alt. 2800 m, 
Borde de terreno de cultivo, Cesar Acleto 1468 (US, holotype). 

The new species seems very close to Tortula denticulata 
(Wils.) Mitt., but the latter is distinct by the lack of papillae 
on the leaf cells and by minor differences in the serrulation. 
Few other species in the genus have a serrulate margin with 
elongate cells.

Planta dioica parva luteo-viridis dense caespitosa 
arenicola. Caules ca. 0.5 cm alti subsimplices. Folia 2.0-2.7 
mm longa ad 0.35 mm lata, siccitate erecto-patentia vel aliquant- 
um contorta, madida erecto-patentia, lingulata breve acuta, basi 
vix latiora, fere ad apicem per cellulas elongatas limbata, 
superne serrata, medio utrinque 5-8 ciliata; ciliis singulis vel

The new species is very close to the recently described 
Syrrhopodon brevisetus Florsch. of Suriname. Most characters 
such as the occasional paired marginal cilia, cancellinae acute 
above, and both surfaces of the costa strongly spinose-papillose, 
are found in both species. Still, there is a distinct difference 
in the upper leaf cells which are subquadrate and 6-8, in diam- 
eter in S. griffinii versus elongate and 18x10, in S. brevisetus.

aliquantum hamata, valde carinata, in spira curvata, madida 
patula, anguste oblonga vel linearia 2.0-3.0 mm longa 0.5-0.6 mm

The new species resembles some of the common members of 
Macromitrium, but it is rather distinct in the slightly more 
robust habit and the slightly but distinctly hairy calyptra. The 
basal leaf cells never seem to have as many papillae though this 
character is variable in some related species. The habit and 
most of the described features of M. lomasense are like the 
common M. punctatum (Hook. & Grev.) Brid., but the latter has 


1971 Robinson, Mosses from Peru 393 


longer basal leaf cells. A number of species such as M. atro- 
viride Williams, M. cylindricum Mitt. and M. sublaeve Mitt. seem 
similar to M. lomasense on the basis of descriptions, but they 
are smaller plants with either more glabrous or more prominently 
hairy calyptrae. 

The species is apparently widely distributed in the Lomas 
along the coast of Peru.

A NEW GENUS, PETERAVENIA. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


Five Eupatorian species from Mexico and Central America 
represent a distinctive previously unnamed genus having decid- 
uous pappus setae, discolored phyllaries, and cordate leaves. 
The pappus setae alone are sufficient to distinguish the genus, 
being very narrow at the base and noncontiguous but enlarged 
at the tip. The genus is Critonioid in its smooth corolla 
lobes and its usualysimple style base. One feature that is 
more reminiscent of Ageratina, however, is the usually high 
placement of the embryo in the achene. 

We take great pleasure in naming this new genus in honor 
of our good friend and colleague, Dr. Peter H. Raven of Stanford 
University. Although the Asteraceae is not his main speciality, 
his contributions to our knowledge of the family are very 
significant.

A NEW GENUS, EUPATORINA. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


The genus Eupatorina is distinguished from most other genera 
of the Eupatorieae by the greatly dissected opposite leaves. 
The single known species is calcicolous and endemic to the island 
of Hispaniola. The nonpapillose corolla, inornate style base and 
the rather clavate stylar appendages indicate that the genus is 
Critonioid. The closest relative seems to be the monotypic genus 
Antillia (King & Robinson, 1971) of Cuba. The latter genus has 
oblanceolate undissected leaves, scapose inflorescence, and a 
short pappus of deeply laciniate scales, Eupatorina seems very 
reduced in certain features such as the venation of the corolla 
which does not extend into the lobes, Such a condition is found 
in very few other species of Eupatorieae. 


Eupatorina R.M.King & H.Robinson, genus novum Asteracearum 
(Eupatorieae). Plantae herbaceae perennes, usque ad 0.5 m altae, 
pauce ramosae. Folia opposita, laminis profunde bipinnatifidis. 
Inflorescentiae paniculatae. Involucri squamae ca. 12 inaequil- 
ongae 2-3-seriatae; receptacula plana vel leniter convexa glabra. 
Flores 13-20 in capitulo; corollae anguste infundibulares inferne 
dilatatae extus superne et in medio glanduliferae et pauce seti- 
ferae, cellulis exterioribus oblongis parietibus leniter sinuo- 
sis, lobis 5 aequilateraliter triangularibus intus glabris, 
stomatibus nullis; filamenta antherarum in parte superiore ang- 
ustata, cellulis quadratis vel rectangularibus, parietibus parum 
ornatis, cellulis exothecialibus plerumque subquadratis, append- 
icibus antherarum late triangularibus truncatis; styli inferne 
non nodulosi glabri, appendicibus anguste clavatis mamillatis; 
achaenia prismatica 4-5-costata setifera, carpopodia distincta, 
cellulis quadratis, parietibus tenuibus vel crassiusculis; pappus 
setiformis uniseriatus, setis ca. 40 scabris persistentibus,

A NEW GENUS, ANTILLIA. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


The present monotypic genus represents one of the most 
distinct endemic Eupatorian elements in the West Indies. The 
habit is very reminiscent of the Eupatorian genus Ciceronia or 
even the Mutisian genus Chaptalia with clustered oblanceolate 
leaves and long scapose inflorescences. Ciceronia clearly 
differs from Antillia by the reduced anther appendages, the 
campanulate corollas, the setose pappus and the lack of minute 
punctations in the walls of the achene. The closest relative 
of Antillia seems to be the monotypic genus, Eupatorina (King 
& Robinson, 1971) of the Dominican Republic. Eupatorina 
differs most obviously by the setose pappus, the non scapose 
habit, the bipinnately dissected leaves, and the lower insertion 
of the anther filaments. Antillia and Eupatorina are most alike 
in the structure of their achenes including the carpopodia but 
have many subtle differences in the shape and pubescence of the 
corolla and form of the anther. The relationship might not be 
appreciated but for the geographic proximity. 

In view of the structure of the pappus in Antillia, it is 
remarkable that B.L.Robinson placed the species in Eupatorium. 
It indicates that as early as 1916, B.L.Robinson had obtained 
considerable contempt for the genus concepts in the Eupatorieae.

THE GENUS, RADLKOFEROTOMA. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


The genus Carelia Lessing described from southern Brazil 
in 1832 represents one of the most distinctive elements in the 
tribe Eupatorieae. For many years the genus remained monotypic, 
but additional specimens have been collected from both Rio 
Grande do Sul in Brazil and from Uruguay, and two additional 
species have been described in this century. The genus has 
recently been summarized by Cabrera (1957) with a key and desc- 
riptions. 

The present effort has two functions, first to describe 
some of the microscopic features of the genus, and second to 
establish the use of the name Radlkoferotoma Kuntze which was 
provided for the genus in 1891. As noted by Kuntze, Carelia 
Lessing is a later homonym, and conservation does not seem 
likely. There are actually two earlier uses of the name, both 
in the Eupatorieae, Carelia G. Pondedera ex P.C.Fabricius which 
equals Ageratum and Carelia A.L.Jussieu ex Cavanilles which 
equals Mikania. The use of the name Carelia for Ageratum is 
common in earlier literature and retention of the name in the 
sense of Lessing is needlessly confusing as well as illegal. 


Radlkoferotoma Kuntze, Rev. Gen. 358. 1891. 


Erect branching shrubs or small trees. Leaves always op- 
posite, distinctly petioled, blades ovate to elliptical, serru- 
late. Inflorescence a corymb. Imnvolucre of ca 35 oblong to 
lanceolate phyllaries in 4-5 series. Receptacle convex, with or 
without distinct hairs; 35-70 flowers per head, corollas tubular, 
5-lobed, outer surface with occasional short stalked glands, 
stomates absent, lobes slightly longer than wide, inner surface 
of corolla glabrous, veins of corolla strong; anther collar

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (ASTERACEAE). XLV. 


A NEW GENUS, FLEISCHMANNIOPSIS. 


R. M. King and H. Robinson 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. 


Among the Mexican and Central American species superficially 
resembling Critonia, are three that are very distinct ina 
number of characters including their pappus and carpopodia. We 
apply the name Fleischmanniopsis to these species because of the 
marked resemblance of parts of the achene and corollas to those 
of Fleischmannia. The very distinct tapering, strongly rimmed 
carpopodia with thick walled cells are exactly like those found 
otherwise only in the genus Fleischmannia. The entirely slender 
usually slightly seperated pappus setae are also alike in the 
two genera. The similarity in overall shape of the corolla 
further indicates the possibility of relationship. At this time, 
however, the question of relationship of Fleischmannia remains 
unresolved. 

Some features of Fleischmanniopsis are certain at this time. 
The resemblance to Critonia is supported by such Critonioid 
features as smooth corolla lobes and a glabrous unenlarged style 
base. The genus is distinct from Critonia by the form of the 
carpopodium with its thick walled cells, by the slender pappus 
setae, by the veins of the corolla not reaching into the lobes, 
and by the reduced anther appendage. The genus is even more 
distinct from Fleischmannia by its smooth corolla lobes, 
short corolla veins, reduced anther appendages, less papillose 
style branches with clavate tips, fewer flowers per head and 
more imbricate phyllaries. Even the anther collars show some 
shorter more quadrate cells toward the base unlike the condition 
in Fleischmannia. 

The short veins of the corollas of Fleischmanniopsis reach 
only to the sinusas between the lobes. This seems to:be a 
reduced condition that is made possible by the small size of 
the flowers. Another genus showing this type of veination is 
Eupatorina (King & Robinson, 1971) of Hispaniola. There seems 
to be no close relationship between the genera.

1971 Adams, Flowering plants of Jamaica 07 


Paratypes: C, D. Adamg 12999 (HM, UCWI), type locality as 
above, 7 May 1967 (plant in flower and fruit); G. R. Proctor 
31173 (IJ), type locality as above, 2 Jamary 1970 (plant in 
flower and fruit). 

The affinities of Acanthodesmos are not at all clear. When 
first discovered the plant was thought to belong to Mutisieae 
and to be related to Anastraphia or Gochnatia, but the nature of 
the pappus and the presence of receptacle-scales is not consist- 
ent with that identification. Another feature suggesting Mutis- 
ieae, besides the caudate anther-bases and short style-arms, was 
the apparent unequal lobing of the corolla, but the corolla- 
lobes only sometimes adhere and are not in’ fact unequally 
connate. 

The decision to place this new gems in Vernonieae was made 
after an assessment of the pappus-scales, the shape and colour 
of the corolla and the glands on it, the pollen, the pointed 
tips of the style-arms and the indumentum of the stems and 
leaves. In the description, the capitula are treated as simple, 
but it is possible to interpret the flower-head of Acanthodesmos 
@s a@ compound one in which all traces of the involucres of the 
first order have been lost. ‘Such an interpretation would place 
the new gems in Lychnophoreae, perhaps close to Rolandra and 
Spiracantha, genera represented in our area and sharing some 
vegetative features with our new plant. 

The unique nodal spines are obviously vestigial outer inv- 
olucral bracts. The connections across the node fram the base 
of the outer spine to the opposed leaf=-base provide the inspir- 
ation for the new name. If these spines are the homologues of 
the outer phyllaries of compound heads, they may belong to a 
morphic series at a level closer to true leaves and this expl- 
ain their persistence at nodes, presumably on reduced branches. 
The gems also has some characters which are suggestive of 
cynarioid and imloid affinities. 

The salina thicket in which this plant occurs is typical of 
the microphyllous woody vegetation which occurs widely in the 
arid parts of southern Jamaica; the poor drainage and high sal- 
inity of the clay soils of the salina-margins favour these 
species which were found associated with Acanthodesmos:- the

SOPHORA IN HAWAII 


Otto # Isa Degener 


A letter from Dr. Ronald Melville of Kew, dated January 13, 
1971, regarding the present status of the endemic Sophorae of 
the Hawaiian Archipelago, induced us to write the present article. 


Hillebrand's Flora of the Hawaiian Islands, published posthu- 
mously in 1888, on page 108 describes a single endemic species of 
Sophora, namely Se chrysophylla (Salisbe) Seem., for the Hawaiian 
Archipelago. He locates the species on “Hawaii! Maui! Kauail" The 
writers, and some other local botanists, know the genus from the Is- 
lands of Oahu, Molokai and Lanai as well. Mr. Alvin Ke Chock, as a 
thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the 
degree of Master of Science in Botany at the University of Hawaii, 
published the results of his two year study of Hawaii Sophorae in 
Pacific Science 10:136-158 in 1956. The Degener collection deposit= 
ed at the Field Museum was mailed him in January 1954 to aid him in 
his studieso 


Counting such names as Sophora chrysophylla (Salisb.) Seeme, and 
Sophora chrysophylla ssp. glabrata var. ovata subvar. ovata f. mauna- 
keaensis Chock, the monographer recognizes as valid for the Archipel- 
ago 1 species, 4 subspecies, 1] varieties, 5 subvarieties and 12 
forms. We are less conservative and judge the Islands to harbor more 
than one species, such as Sophora grisea Deg. & Sherff (in Sherff, 
Bot. Leafl. 5:24. 1951.) and S. unifoliata (Rock) Deg. & Sherff (ibid. 
Po 25), as well as one each from the Islands of Lanai and Molokai. We 
believe, also, the monographer should have considered character of 
legume of greater taxonomic importancee We consequently here are 
changing to different taxonomic ranks:

about 1927. From a transcription we took a few years before his 
death, we find: "Sophora chrysophylla glabra, Rock. Native name ma- 
mane. Not common, found most commonly on the Kaluanui bench, one 
plant at Kanepuu from which a number are now growing.e™ Chock cites 
a plant collected by Munro April 16, 1919, deposited in the Bishop 
Museum and in NY, from Kalyanui. In a letter to us of July 25, 1957, 
Mr. Munro wrote us expressly that Se chrysophylla and the vare gla- 
brata grew on Lanai. In fact, regarding the latter, "Rock described 
this. I did not see it." Munro collected 950 Lanai specimens of 
ferns and flowering plants, which C.N. Forbes determined. A set 


lh PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 6 


went to the Bishop Museum; another to the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Ex- 
periment Station; and the rarest (letter of Oct. 14, 1950) to the 


"British Museum, Sydney, Australia." 


Thanks to the courtesy of the Dole (Pineapple) Company which rent- 
ed us a cottage, we resided in 1963-64 for about six months on Lanai 
to botanize. During this lengthy stay, we discovered just mauka of 
the pineapple fields presumably the last stand of Sophora lanaiensisy 
beautifully rounded, bright green, lacy trees. About 75 herbarium 
specimens from this colony are being widely distributed under the fol- 
lowing label: "Deg. & Deg. 31,383. Almost extinct! (4 thriving, 
spreading, 3m. high trees with many branches arising from low trunks 
prolific seeder but not a single seedling because of thick mat of 
Melinis grass; petals canary yellow; filaments whitish; anthers yel- 
low; pistil greenish yellow.) Kaluanui Bench, Lanai. Decadent, dry- 
ish forest with deer browse line. Jane 24, 1964." Today, with Lanai 
practically a hunting preserve stocked with feral goat, axis deer, 
mouflon and pronghorn, we surmise the four trees are no moree At 
least voucher specimens exist to show how beautiful a creation this 
species had been. The above description is based on No. 31,383, 
healthy trees with 5 - 9 seeds per legume; very rarely, perhaps due 
to faulty pollination, down to only one. Chock's description gives 
"the pod 1 - 5 seeded". 


2. SOPHORA MOLOKAIENSIS spe nove, nome nude 


June 1, 1961, with Mr. Noah Pekelo, Jre, we drove to Maunahui, Mo- 
lokai, and from there took a foresters’ jeep road makai eastward to 
the lower edge of the rainforest. Here we discovered a rather gnarl- 
ed, ugly mamane new to Science. We collected abundant material and, 
Since Mr. Chock had published on the genus, turned over all our speci= 
mens to him. We intended to publish jointly, after a proper drawing 
had been executed. Before that could be accomplished, Mr. Chock and 
family removed to the Mainland and the package of specimens lies some= 
where in the Museum where, no one knowse We believe this species ex=- 
tinct because, when we collected specimens from the plant in 1961 the 
area, thanks to the jeep road, was being bulldozed in strips for the 
planting of Pinus taeda to foster a lumber industry. Eventually, af- 
ter the herbarium specimens have come to light, we shall properly pub- 
lish an illustrated description. 


The taxa with more or less unifoliolate leaves we prefer to alter 
in name as follows:

Sophora chrysophylla ssp. unifoliata vare elliptica Chock in Pac.

This taxon, known from Degener, Bertram & Clay 19,327, was col- 
lected in 1948 at Hokukano, East Mauie 


3b. SOPHORA UNIFOLIATA var. KANAIOENSIS (Chock) Deg. & Dege 


Sophora ae ssDe unifoliata var. kanaioensis Chock in Pac. 
Scie 10:156. 1956-6 


This taxon, collected by Forbes in 1920 and by Degener in 1952, is 
apparently endemic to the neighboring area at Kanaio, East Mauie 


So few in the Hawaiian Islands realize the scientific value of our 
endemics, and ruthlessly destroy them to gain a few pounds of venison 
or board feet of lumber. Our protests fall on deaf ears. Perhaps some 
of our akamai legislators and citizens will heed Dr. Melville's state- 
ment in his letter to us: "It appears to me that Sophora chrysophylla 
is an extremely interesting example of diversification in a plant spe- 
cies comparable with that of the Darwin Finches in the Galapagos, and 
I think this comparison could be made use of in urging the conserva- 
tion of this speciese"

ERIOCAULON MODESTUM var. BREVIFOLIUM Moldenke, var. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis 1--2.5 cm. longis, 
pedunculis usque ad 37 cm. longis, et bracteis involucrantibus ad 
apicem valde longeque attenuatis recedit. 

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its leaves only 1--2.5 cm. long and 1-2 m. wide at the 
midpoint, its peduncles 19--37 cm. long, and its involucral bracts 
more attenuate at the apex. 

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, J. W. 
Grear, Jr., R. Souza, and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 13781) on a 
creek bank, at 1200 m. altitude, about 5 km. south of Cristalina, 
Goids, Prazil, on March 8, 1966, and is deposited in my personal 
herbarium at Plainfield, New Jersey. 


PAEPALANTHUS AMOENUS f. PROLIFER Moldenke, f. nov. 

Haec forma a forma typica speciei capitulis foliaceo-proliferis 
recedit. 

This form differs from the typical form of the species in hav- 
ing its flower—heads proliferating into mostly or only leaf-like 
structures which are strictly erect, fascicled, stiff, subcoriace- 
ous, brownish-olive in color, long-ciliate along the margins, 
otherwise glabrous, acuminate-aristate at the apex, mostly 8--10 
mm. long but usually with one much longer (1.5—2.5 cm. long) than 
the rest in each head. 

The type of this remarkable form was collected by Henrique Lah- 
meyer de Mello Barreto (no. 291) at Acebe Mundo, in the Serra do 
Curral, Municipality of Bello Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on 
March 10, 1933, and is deposited in the Britton Herbarium at the 
New York Botanical Garden. 


PAEPALANTHUS PHAEOCEPHALUS var. FOLIOSUS Moldenke, var. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis caulinis arcte con- 
fertis et foliis basalibus rigidis non conduplicatis recedit. 

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its basal leaves stiff and not conduplicate and its cauline 
leaves very numerous, closely appressed, and overlapping. 

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, R. Souza, 
and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 11368) in wet places in cerrado, at an 
altitude of 1000 m., at Chapada da Contagem, about 10 kn. east of 
Brasflia, Distrito Federal, Brazil, on December 17, 1965, and is 
deposited in my personal herbarium at Plainfield, New Jersey. In 
habit this plant greatly resembles P. applanatus Ruhl., but its 
flower-heads are those of P. phasocdshatus Raht.

PAEPALANTHUS SUBFALCATUS var. VILLOSUS Moldenke, var. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis brevioribus latior- 
ibusque et pedunculis dense patenteque cinereo-villosis recedit. 

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its leaves shorter and broader, 7-—-9.5 cm. long and 1—1.2 
cm. wide at the midpoint, and its peduncles very densely and con- 
spicuously spreading-villous with grayish hair. 

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, S. F. de 
Fonséca, R. Souza, R. Reis dos Santos, & J. Ramos (no. 28201) ina 
campo in an area of campo, cerrado on outcrops, and wooded valley, 
at 1200 m. altitude, about 3 km. north of Sdo Jo&o Chapada, in the 
Serra do Espinhago, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on March 2, 1970, and 
is deposited in my personal herbarium at Plainfield, New Jersey. 


SYNGONANTHUS CAULESCENS var. DOURADENSIS Moldenke, var. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma tyoica speciei bracteis involucrantibus 
stramineis latiore lanceolatis recedit. 

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its involucral bracts stramineous and more broadly lanceo- 
late. 

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, R. Souza, 
and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 11753) in shallow water in an area of 
campo and cerrado on the sandstone summit of Serra Dourada, at 
800 m. altitude, about 20 km. southeast of Goids Velho, Goids, Bra- 
zil, on January 18, 1966, and is deposited in the Britton Herbarium 
at the New York Botanical Garden. 


SYNGONANTHUS GRACILIS var. LATIFOLIUS Moldenke, var. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis 2 m. latis arcte 
appressis recedit. 

This variety differs from the typical form and from all other 
described varieties of the species in having its basal leaves very 
numerous, closely appressed to the ground, and uniformly about 2 
mm. Wide at the midpoint. 

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, J. W. 
Grear, Jr., R. Souza, and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 16395 in a gal- 
lery margin, at 550 m. altitude, about 86 kn. north of Xavantina, 
Mato Grosso, Brazil, on May 31, 1966, and is deposited in the 
Britton Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden. 


PREMNA ODORATA f. CRENULATA Koord. & Val., f. nov. 

Haec forma a forma typica speciei laminis foliorum irregulari- 
ter sed argute crenato-serratis recedit. 

This form differs from the typical form of the species in hav= 
ing the leaf=-blades rather irregularly but sharply crenate-serrate 
from almost the base to the apex. It is described under P. tomen- 
tosa Willd. in Koord. & Val., Bijdr. Boomsoort. Java 7: 181 (1900) 
and numerous specimens were annotated by Koorders and Valeton in the 
Buitenzorg Herbarium as P. tomentosa var. crenulata and P. tomentosa 
f. crenulata Koord. & Val., but I have not yet been able to deter= 
mine where (if at all) they formally published either of these tri- 


1971 Moldenke, More new pipeworts, etc. 419 


nomials. All the twenty-one sheets of this form in the Buiten- 
zorg Herbarium (and I have not found it represented in any of the 
other thirty-seven herbaria in which I have examined the material 
of P. odorata) seem to represent young sterile branches, so it 
may well be, as Koorders & Valeton suggest, that this is merely a 
javenile state of the species, although in that case it is pass- 
ing strange that it should be found only in Java, Sumatra, and 
Timor and never to have been observed (and collected) anywhere 
else in the rather extensive range of the species from Nepal and 
India east to New Guinea! 

The type of the form was collected by Sijfert Hendrik Koorders 
(no. 9725b) in Java, and is deposited in the Herbarium Bogoriense 


at Buitenzorg.

VITEX LEUCOXYLON var. ZEYLANICA Moldenke, f. nov. 

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliolis minoribus 2.5——9 
em. longis 1.3—-3.5 cm. latis plusminus irregulariter serratis 
recedit. 

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its leaflets averaging smaller, 2.5--9 cm. long and 1.3-- 
3.5 cm. wide, more or less serrate with irregularly placed, of- 
ten remote, appressed, antrorse teeth toward the apex or only 
undate-repand, dull gray-green above in drying, the veinlet re- 
ticulation usually conspicuous and obtusely subprominulent above. 
Usually it is only the larger leaflets that exhibit the teeth. 

The type of the variety was collected by D. Mueller—Dombois & 
N. Balakrishnan (no. 68091211) in "sedge-wewa", associated with 
Zyzygium sp. in temple ruins | ruins at Wilpattu National Park, Ceylon, 
between Weerakuti Villu and Maduru Odai, a little ier of Hindu, 
at 100 meters altitude, on September 12, 1968, and is deposited 
in the United States National Herbarium at Washington. Of the 
many specimens of this well-known species examined by me in 
twenty-one herbaria, this is the first collection to exhibit 
serrate leaves. The specimen is in fruiting condition, so in this 
case probably cannot be dismissed as a seedling, sucker, or 
juvenile condition,

Angeles, California and London. 1970. $18.00. 


The preface announces that "this volume is the product of the 
Second International Symposium on Factors Determining the Behavior 
of Plant Pathogens in Soil, held in London, England July 1-28, 
1968, in conjunction with the First International Congress of 
Plant Pathology. It is the successor to the volume 'Ecology of 
Soil-Borne Plant Pathogens: Prelude to Biological Control' edited 
by Kenneth F. Baker and William C. Snyder [1965], and presents new 
knowledge that has accumulated in the interim as well as subject 
matter not treated in the first volume." 

The book is composed of Parts: I introduction surveying recent 
ecological advances in soil-borne plant pathogens, II population 
dynamics of soil pathogens with 8 papers, III genetical aspects of 
pathogenic and saprophytic behavior in root-infecting fungi with 5 
papers, IV soil moisture and aeration on fungal activity with root 
diseases with 3 papers, V effect of root exudates on root infection 
with 10 papers, VI & VII root diseases of forest crops and tropi- 
cal plantation crops with 15 papers, and VIII crop growth responses 
to soil fumigation with 7 papers. 

The writing is concise, the reading is smooth, the printing is 
clean. Each paper presents its own bibliography; there is a gen- 
eral index. 

This valuable book has much of interest to the economic botan- 
ist, the mycologist, the nematologist, the plant pathologist and 
the biology student.

There are important, valuable papers on: precambrian micro- 
organisms and evolutionary events prior to the origin of vascular 
plants, the rise of the first land plants, the appearance of gym- 
nospermous structure, heterospory and the origin of the seed habit, 
and palynological evidence on early differentiation of angiosperms. 
Prof. Banks gives a short introduction and an excellent summary in 
succinct outline of the main highlights in the record of plants on 
earth, followed by a time scale.

"MICROBES AND BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY" edited by D. E. Hughes & 
A. H. Rose, x & 378 pp., illus., Cambridge University Press, 
Cambridge, England & New York, N. Y. 10022. 1971. $16.00. 


This fine book consists of a preface and 15 papers presented in 
April 1971 to the 21st Symposium of the Society of General Micro- 
biology at University College, London. Even with such prompt 
printing there is a general index. Each paper carries its own 
bibliography and together covers virtually all of the literature 
in the field, even the most recent. 

The following topics are effectively discussed: quantitative 
and qualitative productivity, hydrocarbons as a possible future 
source of single-cell protein, algae and lithotrophic bacteria as 
food sources perhaps cultured on a "lawn" of filaments covered by 
a thin medium film for ruminants if not for people, microbial 
overproduction of food additives for flavor and preservation, 
microbial disease and biological control of plant and animal pro- 
ductivity, microbial activity in soils (especially around roots) 
and in No fixation, and microbial production in polar regions, in 


oceans and in aquatic environments.

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, England & New York, 
N. Y. 10022. 1970. $10.50. ‘ 


This is an excellent new text usable as the main guide in any 
temperate climate area and as a reference book in any other cli- 
mate. I4 is arranged systematically 4 la Ainsworth (1966) and 
stresses field observations, morphology and recent research 
yielded in the fields of physiology, ecology, genetics, cytology 
and ultrastructures, and pathology. It is copiously illustrated 
with excellent drawings (many from electron microscope recon- 
structions) and with good photographs (but some printed too 
darkly). The text is written clearly and most concisely. The 
bibliography is rich. The price is really reasonable.

10022. 1970. $9.95. 


Muriel Arber, daughter of the author and the one to whom the 
book was originally dedicated, has added to this issue an accumu- 
lated list of errata and a second preface. 

In this book, long out of print, the author has "made a tenta- 
tive and provisional attempt to review the relations of parts in 
the flowering plants in the light of those more universal, and 
also more stringent, modes of thought, which are characteristic 
of philosophy rather than biology." The eleven chapters cover: 
the meaning and content of plant morphology from the schools of 
Aristotle, Albertus Magnus, Andrea Cesalpino, Joachim Jung, 
Goethe, and de Candolle through the author's concept of organiza- 


422 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 6 


tion type with special emphasis on the partial-shoot theory of the 
leaf. 

This work is thoughtfully developed, well documented, classi- 
cal and of historical value. I wonder how many copies will sell 
today?

recasas, 189 pp., illus., Hafner Publishing Co., Darien, 
Connecticut 06820 & New York, N. Y. 10022. 1970. 


This is a complete taxonomic revision of 51 species of this fan- 
ily by the capable botanist—author who has been studying the group 
for many years especially in the Andean forests of Colombia and 
from world-wide herbarium collections. The single-genus family 
shows by anatomical data its affinity with the Rosales. The evo- 
lutionary discussions are very interesting. The drawings and 
photos are excellent. Carefully constructed keys are given. 

Dr. Eyde contributed the chapter on anatomy and Dr. Marticorena 
the one on palynology.

necticut 06820 & New York, N. Y. 10022. 1970. $11.95. 


These are detailed taxonomic studies of the subtribe, genus and 
family of the basidiomycetes that have occupied the author's at- 
tention for many years in both wide range field and herbarium 
studies. This work is highly valuable scientifically, but its 
price is inexcusably high for a paper-back issue of less than 150 
pages. 

A nice feature of the publication is the inclusion on the last 
page of a photograph and brief résumé of the author. 


"BRISTLECONE PINE IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OF CALIFORNIA: GROWTH AND 
RING-WIDTH CHARACTERISTICS" by Harold C. Fritts, viii & hh pp., 
illus., University of Arizona Press, Tucson, Arizona 85700. 


1969. $4.50. 


This is Number l; of the Papers of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring 
Research. The Pinus aristata Engelm. (misspelled in the preface) 
population on the dry upper slopes of these mountains in east- 
central California has some individuals whose age exceeds ),000 
years and whose green needles may be retained by branches for 
oeriods up to 30 years! 

"The various tree-ring chronologies in all stands of the White 
Mountains are highly correlated with each other, especially in 
years of minimum growth. The statistical characteristics of tree- 
ring chronologies are a function of environmental modifications 
caused primarily by topographic variation, secondly by altitude 
difference, and thirdly by substrate conditions of each site. Ring- 


1971 Moldenke, Book reviews 23 


width chronologies from the trees on exposed, low elevation, and 
rocky dolomitic sites are most variable.....and contain the most 
information about variations in climate....If the chronologies are 
developed from climatically 'sensitive' arid-site trees and appro- 
priately dated, they can provide an accurate, extremely long and 
reliable record of moisture and temperature as it has varied in 
the past." 

A carefully executed, well documented, interesting study! 


"THE GROWING TREE" by B. F. Wilson, iv & 152 pp., illus., Univer- 
sity of Massachusetts Press, Amherst, Massachusetts 01002. 


1970. $6 250. 


"This book is intended for people, from the intelligent owner or 
observer of trees to the professional student of trees, who are in- 
terested in the basic processes of tree growth,....the culmination 
of more than ten years' work with growing trees". It discusses 
the general aspects of the growth process, form and elongation and 
dormancy of branches and roots, apical dominance and lateral forma- 
tion and its orientation, the process and regulation of cambial 
activity, distribution of photosynthate and thickening problems, 
and finally the nutritive, correlative and competitive interactions 
of branches, roots and cambium to produce the growth of the whole 
tree. 

This is a very neat, attractive, excellent piece of botany, 
writing and printing. It is provided with several flow charts, 
model diagrams and an interestingly annotated bibliography.

This is the eleventh of 15 already published International Bio-— 
logical Programme Handbooks planned primarily so that participa- 
ting biologists will be guided in both their studies and their 
writings with common philosophies, goals, techniques and means of 
interpretation, and so that these recorded results,.etc., "will 
be useful all over the world to biologists [on all levels — stu- 
dent, interested reader, instructors, researchers —] for many 
years to come". The book indicates safely that all are excellent 
and highly valuable in this whole series. 

The importance of this work is not by any means exaggerated in 
this excerpt from the foreword: "the loss or destruction of the 
world's genetic resources by short-sighted or ill-—directed plan- 
ning is something so wasteful that its consequences can be disas- 
trous both for world food production and for man himself." There 
are a preface, 5 papers, an appendix describing the work of 
Vavilov All-Union Institute of Plant Industry in Leningrad, a 
full name index and a skimpy subject index. The papers deal with 
biological background, tactics of exploration and collection 
with examples, evaluation and utilization, documentation and re-

Preparatory to the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human 
Environment, the Steering Committee, whose director and assistant 
director are the editors from the sponsoring M.I.T., planned a 
Study of Critical Environmental Problems (SCEP) for July 1970 at 
Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts. The month-long 
conference of several scientists and professionals will be record= 
ed soon in detailed bound volumes and is presented in this report 
as a distillation of the major findings with recommendations and 
as résumés of the work groups on: climatic effects, ecological ef= 
fects, monitoring, implications of change, industrial pollutants, 
domestic and agricultural wastes, and energy products. 

Careful reading will achieve the major objective of SCEP which 
is desperately needed "to raise the level of informed public and 
scientific discussion and action on global environmental prob- 
lems......Most corrective action will probably have to be taken 
at the national, regional, and local levels. In research and 
monitoring programs, however, the potential for international 
cooperation is high." 

The valuable papers indicate what is known and what is needed 
to be known, and they are documented with bibliography and covered 
in a general index. 


“PATHOGENIC ROOT-INFECTING FUNGI" by S. D. Garrett, xi & 29) pp., 
illus., Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, England & 
New York, N. Y. 10022. 1970. $12.50. 


Rather than a new edition of the author's fine "Biology of 
Root—infecting Fungi" of 1956, this is an excellent whole new 
text about these organisms that constitute a substantial and 
omnipresent threat to all of our crop plants. Obviously, it 
will be needed by student, teaching and professional mycolo- 
gists and plant pathologists, but it has a wider appeal for its 
"world is that of the living soil, which is the mother of all 
terrestrial plant life and therefore of direct concern to every 
human being and of interest to every biologist." 

After an interesting introduction, the book treats unspecial- 
ized parasites in seedlings and older plants, then specialized 
ones in vascular wilts and ectrotrophs, saprophytic colonization 
of substrates and host tissues, dormancy, and root disease con- 
trol. 

There are a good bibliography and an index, as well as rela- 
tively few excellent illustrations.

Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 


In my monograph of Parmelia subgenus Amphigymnia (Hale, 1965) 
I identified a series of specimens from Alabama and Mexico as P. 
reparata Stirton, a species first described from Australia. The 
identifications were tentative since the type was in poor condi- 
tion. Now that I have recently seen other specimens from Austra- 
lia, I am convinced that the American material is different and 
represents a new species since it has a broad zone free of rhi- 
zines along the margin below, whereas P. reparata consistently has 
dense rhizines to the margin and may actually be related to the 
widespread P. cetrata Ach. 


PARMELIA PERMACULATA Hale, sp. nov. 


Thallus laxe adnatus, expansus, coriaceus, usque ad 20 cm 
diametro, albocinereus, lobis rotundatis, usque ad 1.5 cm latis, 
margine ciliatis, ciliis 1.2-2.5 mm longis, superne planus, niti- 
dus, valde albomaculatus, aetate rimosus, sorediis isidiisque de- 
stitutis, subtus niger, rhizinosus centrum versus, margine nudus, 
castaneus. Apothecia numerosa, usque ad 20 cm diametro, amphithe- 
cio rugoso, albomaculato, disco perforato, sporis 6-7X13-1l6p. 


Holotype: On deciduous trees, open pasture, 9 km east Jalapa 
along hwy. 140, Veracruz, Mexico, M. E. Hale 19406, 13 March 1960 
(US; isotypes in S, TNS, UPS). 


Distribution: Alabama, Mexico (Veracruz, Chiapas, Nayarit). 
For specimens examined see those listed under P. reparata in Hale 
(1965), p. 338. 


This conspicuous Amphigymnia species (see photograph, Fig. 39 
in Hale, 1965) is most common in Veracruz at an elevation of 1000- 
1400 m. The nearest relative is fatiscent-sorediate P. coralli- 
fera Hale, a Mexican endemic. Both species contain atranorin 
and salazinic acid.

NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON THE ORCHIDACEAE - IV 
Robert L. Dressler and Glenn E. Pollard 


The authors have had a special interest in the 
genus Encyclia for several years, and we hope to 
publish an illustrated revision of the Mexican 
species in the near future. We herewith validate the 
necessary new combinations and new taxa, to make 
these names available for use in anatomical and other 
studies which may antedate the revision. In the 
present note we will give synonyms other than the 
basionym only in cases of special interest. 


The distinctions between Encyclia and See 
have been discussed by Dressler (lett tonie : - 
266. 1961). We have treated the two major groups 
within Encyclia as sections, but we will now treat 
them as Stersecn to facilitate the delineation of 
distinctive subgroups within each. These subgenera 
are compared in the accompanying table. While these 
groups differ in several tendencies, none of these 
gives a really sharp separation. The shape of the 
column is the most constant feature and it is easily 
seen, but there are a few species which do not conform 
well, even in this feature. Thus, we feel that these 
two groups are best classified as subgenera of a single 
genus. 


1. ENCYCLIA subgenus OSMOPHYTUM (Lindley) comb. nov. 
- Epidendrum subgenus Osmo tum Lindley, Hook. 
Journ. Bot. 4: 81. 1841. e: Epidendrum 


fragrans Sw. 
Lindley first named this group as a section, in 
1839 (Bot. Reg. 25: misc. p. 85), but in other places 
he used "section," "subgenus" and "division" quite 
interchangeably. We cannot now explain (or justify) 


Dressler's modification of Osmophytum to "Osmophyta" 
(Brittonia 13: 261. 1961). 


la. ENCYCLIA section OSMOPHYTUM 
This section includes most members of the sub- 
genus and is quite diverse in some features, but all 
the extremes are connected by intermediate species. 


1b. ENCYCLIA section HORMIDIUM (Lindley) comb. et 
stat. nov. —- Epidendrum subgenus Hormidium 
Lindley, Hook. Journ. t. 3: 81. Ia. 
Type: Epidendrum uniflorum Lindley (= Encyclia 


triptera). 
This sma group includes E. gramme toglossa, E. 


rhynchophora, E. triptera and poss y one or two 
433

Subgenus Encyclia 


Mid-tooth of column short, 
usually broadly deltoid, 
separated from the lateral 
teeth by broad, shallow 
sinuses, closely appressed 
to the anther, not covered 
by a fleshy, knob-like 
appendage 


Capsule not sharply 
Z-angled or 3-winged 
Flower and plant tissues 
without large crystals 


Column often winged 


Callus usually 2 fleshy 
ridges with an elliptic or 
boat-shaped depression in 
the middle 


Inflorescence usually 
without a prominent spathe 


Pseudobulbs usually ovoid 
or conic-ovoid, rarely 
flattened 


Leaves thick and leathery 


PHY TOLOG 12 


Vol. 21, no. 7 


Subgenus Osmophytum 


Mid-tooth of column 
("ligule") narrowly 
deltoid, ligulate or 
subflabellate, not closely 
appressed to the anther, 
usually more or less 
covered by a fleshy, 
knob-like appendage, 
which is obtuse or 
truncate and separated 
from the lateral teeth by 
deep and usually acute 
sinuses 


Capsule usually sharply 
3Z-angled or 3-winged 


Flower and plant tissues 
usually filled with large 
crystals 


Column never winged 


Callus usually a thickened 
pad 


Inflorescence often with 
a prominent spathe 


Pseudobulbs often some-— 
what flattened 


Leaves thinner 


A comparison of the subgenera Encyclia and Osmophytum 


other species of South America; it may be distinguished 
by the very long apical appendage ("mid-tooth") of the 
column, the broad, rounded lateral lobes of the lip and 
the small, acute or acuminate mid-lobe. Hormidium has 
been treated as a distinct genus at times, but never 
very clearly delimited. Until very recently, at least, 
this name was used only for E. triptera and its 

several synonyms and for several species of true 
eprcendrum which have no close relationship with E. 

i 


iptera. 


le. ENCYCLIA section EUCHILE, sect. nov. - Caulis 
pseudobulbosus, ovoideus; labellum magnum, subintegrum; 
columna clavata, apice trilobulata. Type: Epidendrum 
mariae Ames. 


1971 Dressler & Pollard, Nomenclatural notes 435 


This section includes only the type and the 
closely allied E. citrina. These species agree with 
the other speciés of subgenus Osmophytum in the fleshy 
appendage ("mid-tooth") at the apex of the column, but 
are otherwise somewhat anomalous in all their features. 


2. ENCYCLIA subgenus ENCYCLIA 
Type: Encyclia viridiflora Hooker 


2a. ENCYCLIA section ENCYCLIA 
This section corresponds to the genus Encyclia as 
it has been used by many authors. Species ee as E. 
bractescens, E. kienastii and especially E. micro- 
bulbon show strong relationships with section Lepto- 
um. 


2b. ENCYCLIA section BRACHYCOLUMNA (L. Wms.) comb. 
nov. — Epidendrum section Brachycolumna L. Wms., 
Amer. Orc oc. Ball.,.10: as 1942. 


Type: idendrum brachyco fume L. Wms. 
This section includes only e type, an unusual 
and probably primitive species with eight rather than 


four pollinia. It is most closely related to the 
members of the following section. 


2c. ENCYCLIA section LEPTOPHYLLUM, sect. nov. - 
Caulis pseudobulbosus, subsphaericus; folia lineares; 
labellum integrum, subadnatum, papillosum vel striatum; 
columna brevis, lobuli laterales longiores, aliiformes. 
Type: idendrum tenuissimum Ames, Hubb. & Schweinf. 

8 rather uniform little group includes E. 
cyanocolumna, E. distantiflora, E. luteorosea, E. 
subula Olia and E. tenuissima. ASide from their very 
Narrow leaves, most of them are vegetatively like the 
members of section Encyclia in miniature. The column, 
too, resembles that of section Encyclia, but the 
lateral teeth or lobes are large and somewhat wing-like 
(extended apically, not laterally as are the true 
column-wings in many species of section Encyclia). 


2d. ENCYCLIA section DINEMA (Lindley) comb. et stat. 
nov. -— Dinema Lindley, Gen. & Sp. Orch. Pl. 


111. 1831.” Type: Epidendrum polybulbon Sw. 
This section includes only @ type species, which 
vegetatively resembles subgenus ns Lepvonhy but florally 
is most closely allied to sections Lepto llum and 
Encyclia. This, as with the other sections here named, 
its comfortably in our broader concept of Encyclia, 


but it would be a misfit in any more narrowly 
delineated genus (unless monotypic).

NEW TAXA 


ENCYCLIA AENICTA, sp. nov. 
Epidendrum pollardianum Withner, Orchid Digest 34: 
: ob. as to photograph and most drawings, 
not as to type specimen. 

E. pseudobulbis conicis 1-3 phyllis, foliis 
ellipticis vel ligulatis, sepalis oblanceolatis, 
petalis cuneato-spathulatis, labelli subliberi, 
trilobi, lobis lateralibus oblongis, apice recurvis, 
intermedio subrotundo mucronato, striato, columna 
aptera. 

Holotype: Mexico; Nayarit, near Jalcocotan, Feb. 
1947, flowered in cult. June 1952, E. Yale Dawson s. n. 
(US 2399076, isotype MO). 


This species is closely related to E. diota and E. 
spatella (syn. E. meliosma), and thus a member of one 
oF the most difficult complexes in the genus. In some 
areas it hybridizes extensively with E. spatessa: but 
in others they coexist without any sign of inter- 
gradation. To make matters worse, the type of E. 
meliosma cannot now be found. If the specimen is ever 

ocated, we may find the customary interpretation of 
E. meliosma to be incorrect. 


ENCYCLIA CRETACEA, sp. nov. 

E. pseudobulbis ovoideis, 3 phyllis, foliis ellip- 
ticis, glaucis, racemo terminale, sepalis lanceolatis, 
petalis anguste ellipticis, labelli subliberi, trilobi 
lobis lateralibus oblongo-linearis, intermedio rhombi- 
formi, striato, columna aptera. 

Holotype: Mexico; Oaxaca, 2.8 km. from Tuxtepec 
highway at km. 21, east of highway on logging road; 
on oaks in pine-oak forest, 8,250 ft. elev.; 16 Jan. 
1971, G. E. Pollard s. n. (us) 


A member of section Csmophy tun this species 
resembles E. citrina in the glaucous, pendent plants, 


but the flowers are similar to those of E. concolor, 


1971 Dressler & Pollard, Nomenclatural notes 439 


from which it differs in habit, in the form of the 
lip and in the wingless capsule. 


ARTORIMA, gen. nov. 

Caulis pseudobulbosus, remotus; folia breves; 
pedunculus paniculatus; labellum semiadnatum, lobi 
suborbiculari, callo uncinato retrorso ornatum; 
stigma rimiformis.

erubescens Lindley, Hook. genet rath 3: 87. 

- cyclia erubescens (Lindley) Schltr., Die

Superficially, this beautiful species fits 
Encyclia rather than Epideaee? but the floral 
details do not coincide wi ose of any known genus. 
The retrorse, hook-like callus is very unusual, as is 
the prominent, incurved mid-tooth of the column. The 


narrow slit-like stigma, with a wider chamber within, 
is quite unlike that of any related genus. 


NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON THE ORCHIDACEAE - V 


Robert L. Dressler 


The present paper includes miscellaneous new 
combinations, names and synonymies in American 
Orchidaceae.

6 —- Bletia rosea (Lindley) Dressler, Taxon 13: 
248. 19564, not B. rosea (Lindley) Reichb. f., 
1862. 

In checking on the combination Bletia rosea, I 
failed to note that my card file of Bletia names had 
been divided into two categories, and thus overlooked 
Reichenbach's earlier use of the name (for what is now 
considered a Schomburgkia). The epithet urata is 
uncomfortably like at of B. purpurea (ron DC., BOR 
there seems to be no alternative s its use. 


I here publish new combinations for the few 
Central American Encyclias which still lack valid 
names in Encyclia and for two South American members of 
the E. fragrans complex, which will be treated in 
greater deta in a separate paper.

I give here only the synonyms most important for 
Central America. This species is nomenclaturally 
central in a bewildering complex which is most 
variable in the Andes. It seems best to use this name 
for the entire complex until (or unless) a thorough 
study of the complex is available. 


EPIDENDRUM HAMATUM (Garay) comb. nov. - Stenoglossum 
hamatum Garay, Orquideologia 4: 72. 1969. 
Garay suggests that Stenoglossum be accepted as a 
Gl on th 


genus distinct from idendrum e basis of four 
features (loc. cit. p. 70); these are: 

1. non-resupinate flowers - This feature is frequent 
in idendrum, including section Spathium Lindley. 
Many species of section Spathium have an arching 
inflorescence, so that mos owers have the lip 
lowermost without any actual twisting of the ovary or 


pedicel (a sort of passive resupination). This is 
exactly the situation in idendrum (Stenoglossum} 


spetonho rua. This feature clearly cannot be en to 
istinguish Stenoglossum from Epidendrun. 

2. transverse plate-like rostellum - The rostellum is 
transverse and plate-like in all species of Epidendrun. 
In most species of Epidendrum the transverse rosteilum 
is nearly parallel wth the axis of the column, while 
in E. coryophorum and E. hamatum it forms an angle of 
about Se uth the axis of the column, which may be the 
distinction intended by Garay. The structure of the 
rostellum is quite the same in E. coryophorum and E. 


hamatum as in the majority of Epiden rum species, and 
the angle varies somewhat within Epidendrun. 


3. two, distinctly lobed stigmata - I believe that 
Garay has misinterpreted the structure of the stigma. 
The drawing which accompanies his paper (loc. cit. p. 
74) shows the posterior stigmatic lobes from below and 


42 Pet. Yi T OcLGiGplek Vol. 21, no. 7 


behind, and thus cannot show whether or not the 
stigmatic surface is continuous in front of and 
between these lobes. My examination of herbarium 
specimens indicates that the stigmatic surface is 
by no means divided into separate stigmas, but is 
quite like that of idendrum tridactylum, except 
that the posterior Iobes project forward (see 
Brittonia 19: 238. 1967). 


4. ovoid or globose, but never compressed, pollinia 
- The pollinia of E. coryophorum are undoubtedly very 
thick, even if slightly compressed laterally. How- 
ever, the pollinia of E. hamatum are distinctly com- 
pressed. In the type collection and in Barkley, 
Gutierrez & Sierra 4, the dry pollinia are more strong- 
ly compressed than those of Epidendrum elegantissimum 
Lehm. & Kranzlin or E. ne Lindley, and 
compressed to about the same degree as those of E. 
cylindraceum Lindley and E. parvilabre Lindley (all 
species which resemble Stenoglossum in habit and 
other features). Thus, 1. must reaffirm my earlier 


conclusion that Stenoglossum should not be maintained 
as a distinct genus (Brittonia 19: 243. 1967).

Cane /: ° To30- 

Garay (loc. cit.) indicates that bicornis Lindley 
is an earlier epithet for this species, which I have 
assigned to Hexisea. As indicated in the previous 
paper (loc. cit.), the assignment is based primarily 
on the non-jointed lip and the close relationship to 
H. Sigmoidea Ames & Schweinf. As indicated by Garay, 
the Supposedly sigmoid form of the lip is, by itself, 
insufficient to delimit the genus. 


In our work with American orchids, a few genera 
have consistently refused to "fit" in the tribes or 
subtribes to which they were assigned by Schlechter 
and subsequent authors. Two of these are so isolated 
in their relationships and so unusual in their charac- 
teristics as to demand the creation of separate sub- 
tribes, while the remaining genera are, together, 
sufficiently distinctive to suggest tribal status. 


1971 Dressler, Nomenclatural notes 43 


Tribe EPIDENDREAE subtribe CRYPTARRHENINAE, new sub- 
tribe - Folia conduplicata; pedunculi laterales, 
multiflori; columna brevis, clinandrio cucullato; 
pollinia 4, complanata; caudiculae 1 vel 2, stipiti- 
formes. 

Type: Cryptarrhena Lindley 


It is not at all clear whether this monogeneric 
subtribe should be assigned to the Epidendresae or the 
Vandeae. The habit and the form of the pollinia 
suggest Vandeae, and the hyaline, stipe-like 
caudicles resemble those of Lockhartia and Centro- 

etalum, which however, attach to true stipes. This 
Subtribe may eventually be given tribal rank. 


Tribe EPIDENDREAE subtribe MEIRACYLLIINAE, new sub- 
tribe - Caules monophylli; folia conduplicata, 
carnosa; pedunculi terminales, pauciflori; labellum 
integrum vel subintegrum, profunde concavum; columna 
basi teres, rostello recto; anthera dorsalis; 
pollinia 8, tenue clavata, glandulae affixae. 


Type: Meiracyllium Reichb. f. 


Possibly intermediate between the pene and 
the Pleurothallidinae (see Brittonia l2: 
1960), this genus does not fit well in either group, 
and does not seem to be closely related to Podochilus 
or other Asiatic genera. 


Tribe PACHYPHYLLEAE, new tribe - Caules tenues, pleuro- 
phylli; pedunculi laterales vel terminales; columna 
plus minusve alata; pollinia 2, caudiculae 1 vel 2, 
stipitiformes, stipiti laminiformi affixae. 


Type: Pachyphyllum Kunth 
This tribe, to include the subtribes Fachyehye- 

linae and Lockhartiinae, is quite distinctive in e 
form of the pollinaria. Though the members of the 
two subtribes are rather different in other features, 
their pollinaria are so similar as to suggest a close 
relationship. I anticipate a system in which the 
tribe Vandeae of Lindley is divided into about six 
more uniform tribes, of which this is the only one 
not already given a tribal name by Pfitzer.

Martin (1946) lists this genus among the genera studied by him 
whose seeds he ascertained to have endosperm, apparently basing 
his conclusion on the examination of only the seeds of C. ameri- 
cana. Ina genus of 205 accepted specific and subspecific taxa, 
it would seem that results obtained from one species can hardly 
be regarded as providing a safe indication for the entire genus.

CALLICARPA ANGUSTIFOLIA King & Gamble 

Additional bibliography: Moldenke, Phytologia 21: 375. 1971. 

Dop (1932) states that C. poilanei Dop is very closely related 
to C. angustifolia, differing in its almost glabrous (rather 
than villous) ovary, its elliptic-oblong (not lanceolate) leaf- 
blades which are acute (not long-attenuate) at the base, abruptly 
acuminate-caudate (not acutely attenuate) at the apex, and sinu- 
ate-denticulate or -dentate (not entire) along the margins, with 
the tomentum much finer on the lower surface. 


CALLICARPA ARBOREA Roxb. 

Additional & emended bibliography: Gamble, List Trees Darj. 
Dist. 60. 1878; E. D. Merr., Philip. Journ. Sci. Bot. 12: 298, 
299, & 382. 1917; Moldenke, Phytologia 21: 375 & 387. 1971. 

Gamble (1878) records the vernacular names "goehlo", "jamti", 
and "sung-a-king" for this plant and notes that the species grows 
at altitudes up to 3000 feet and is "Very common in old Mechi or 
Lepcha cultivations", flowering in April, fruiting in November; 
"Almost universal in the si plaoea He most common in dry mixed for- 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa hs 


ests of small trees on good soil and in Savannahs. Bark grey- 
brown. Wood brownish white, of good grain, tolerably heavy; only 
used for charcoal." 

It ought to be noted here that Clarke (1885) lists C. farinosa 
Roxb. as a synonym of C. arborea, but I am regarding it as belong- 
ing in the synonymy of C, tomentosa (L.) Murr.; the C. arborea 
Miq., which he lists, is also a synonym of C. tomentosa. 

Merrill (1917) claims that C. weberi Merr. is most closely al- 
lied to C. arborea, but differs in its much smaller cymes which 
are usually only o only once or twice forked, its smaller and fewer- 
veined leaves, its larger flowers, and its ovaries being slightly 
glandular but not tomentose. 

Fletcher (1938) records C. arborea from Thailand as follows: 
"C. arborea Roxb. var. villosa (Roxb.) King et Gamble Mat. 803 
(1909); Rid Ridl. F. M. P. 61h, in in nota. C. villosa Roxb. Hort. Beng.

report it as "common in forest regrowths", Mrs. Clemens describes 
it as a "shrub in rocks with Rapanea and Glochidion", while Brass 
calls it "sporadic in secondary grassland" on Fergusson Island,

It is worth noting here that the C. cana of Dalzell & Gibson 
is actually C. tomentosa (L.) Murr., that of Gamble is C. macro- 
phylla Vahl, “that of Wallich is in part C. longifolia Lam. » and 
that of Demande of Sprengel, and of Vahl is C. candicans (Burm. 
f.) Hochr.; the C. cuspidata credited to Lam & Bakhuizen van den 
Brink is C. longipes Dunn, that credited to Bakhuizen alone is in 
part C. longipe s and in part C. rubella Lindl., and that credited 
to Hasskarl is C. longifolia Lam.; the C. dentata credited to 
Roxburgh is C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. while that of Pavon and 
of Sessé & Mocifio are Cormutia grandifolia (Schlecht. & Cham.) 
Schau.; and the C. lanata of Gamble is C. vestita Wall., that of 
Linnaeus and of Wallich is C. tomentosa -(L.) Murr., that of Hossé- 
us is C, arborea Roxb., that t of H. J. Lam is C. arborea var. psi- 

localyx (H. J. Lam) Moldenke, and that of Lamarck is Premna odor- 
ata Blanco. 

Hasskarl's reference (18), given in the above bibliography, 
is often cited as "Cat. Pl. Bot. Bogor. Cult. 2: 136--137" or as 
"2° Cat. Buitenz." 

The Sprengel (1825) reference is incorrectly cited by Hass- 
karl (18) as "2: 420", The Lam & Meeuse reference (192) also 
cited above is sometimes cited as "195" or "196", but actually 


450 PHY TOL 0 Gres Vol. 21, no. 7 


bears the inscription "issued June 15th, 192". These authors 
cite a nO. 3429 from Nenoesa in the Talaud Islands, describing 
the plant as about 1 m. tall, leaves bright-green above, light- 
green beneath, calyx light-green, corolla light-violet, and anth- 
ers yellow, growing in cultivated ground, at 100 meters altitude, 
flowering in June. They give the overall distribution of the 
species as "Malay Peninsula to Australia". 

Brown's original (1810) description of C. pedunculata is "fol- 
iis ovatis acutis dentato-serratis basi obtusissim&: adultis 
supra scabris subtiis cinereo-tomentosis, pedunculo petiolum paulo 
superante. (T.) v.v." The original description of C. cuspidata 
by Wallich (1820) is "Shrubby, all the tender parts, and the un- 
der surface of the short-petioled, elliptic, dentate, cuspidate. 
Leaves woolly. Corymbs axillary, their division and the calyces 
clothed with minute grains under the wool. A native of the Mo- 
luccas; the leaves are always acutely dentate, and end in a long 
taper, acute point. The Berries are very small, smooth and 
purple." The fruits, of course, are drupes, not berries. 

The original description of C. lanata by Vahl (179) is as 
follows: "Callicarpa lanata foliis ovatis basi rotundatis integ- 
errimis subdenticulatis, supra rugosis subtus ramisque lanato- 
tomentosis. Tomex tomentosa. LIN. fl. Zeyl. pag. 2h. fide 
herb. Hermanni. Callicarpa lanata (tomentosa S. V. p. 153) fol- 
iis integerrimis lanatis. LIN. Mant. p. 331. Rami, uti petioli, 
folia subtus e pedunculi, tomento densissimo tecti. Folia ovata, 
attenuata, 4--5 pollicaria, basi pollices tres lata, nervis sup- 
ra villosis incanis, rugosa, integerrima vel extrorsum dentibus 
obscure dentata: dentibus acutis. Inflorescentia ut in reliquis! 
Obviously it is C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. which he is here de- 
scribing. ox 

As to the overall geographic distribution of the true C. pe- 
dunculata, Beer & Lam (1936) say "Formosa, Philippines, East Ma- 
laysia to Polynesia", King & Gamble (1908) say "Malay Archipelago, 
Tropical Australia", Domin (1928) says "Von Penang iiber Malaya 
nach Australien (Nord-Australien, Queensland, nordl. N. S. Wales", 
Lam (191) gives it as "P. Pinang; Java; Celebes; Ambon; Key- 
Insl.; Niederl. Neu Guinea; Kais. Wilh. Land; Neu-Mecklenberg; 
New-Pommern; Uatom; trop. Australien", while in his 192) work he 
modifies this to "Penang, Malayischer Archipel, Bismarck-Archipel, 
tropisches Australien", Lam & Meeuse (192) give it as "Malay 
Peninsula to Australia" and record it from Nanoesa Island on the 
basis of their no. 3429, while Kanehira & Hatusima (192) say 
"Philippines, East Malaya to New Guinea and Polynesia". Bentham 
& Mueller (1370) comment that "The species is also in the Archi- 
pelago and is closely allied to the widely diffused C. Macro- 
phylla, Vahl. Schauer refers it to 'C. lanata Vahl Symb. iii. 
13', but if he had turned to the page he quotes, he would have 
seen that the name is Linnaeus' not Vahl's and relates to the 
very different Ceylon species which Schauer has published under 
the name C. Wallichiana." 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 451 


Lam (1919) includes a C. dentata Wall., in part, no. 6319, in 
the synonymy of C. pedunculata, but I regard this binomial as be- 
longing to the synonymy of C. longifolia Lam. He gives the dis- 
tribution of C. pedunculata as "P, Penang, Malay Archipelago (Ja- 
val, Celebes! , Wetar!, Ambon!, Key-isl.!, Dutch-New-Guinea! , 

Kais .-W. -land), Bismark-archipelago! , tropical Australia", "He 
comments that "Its affinities are with C. rubella, C. pilosis- 
sima Max. (from Formosa), C. caudata and | C. macrophylla. The 
leaves, however, never have a distinctly cordate base, as inC. 
rubella, are never as narrow as in C, pilosissima, have never an 
acute or cuneate base as in C. caudata, nor are as long and wide 
as the leaves of C. macrophylla, which are coarsely dentate and 
have their greatest breadth near the base." In discussing C. 
rubella he says "Its affinity is, especially in regard with the 
flower, with C. pedunculata, but its leaves are always cordate, 
subsessile and narrower, whilst its cymes are smaller, fascicu- 
late, not widely dichotomous as in C. pedunculata." 

Interestingly enough, Steudel (1521) notes "cfr. Callicarpa 
dentata" in his entry for C. pedunculata, while in his 1840 work 
he actually includes a C. lanata "Linn." in the synonymy on the 
authority of Sprengel. The Schultes (1827) ask "videtur eadem, 
ac lanata. Quid Callicarpa macrocarpa Raeusch.? -- sinensis 
Noisette?" The last two names referred to in this quotation are 
actually synonyms of C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. 

Britten (1901) reduces C, lanata "Schauer (non Vahl)" to syno- 
nymy under C. pedunculata; Rehder (1914) also gives "C. lanata, 
Schau., not Linn." as a synonym, while Jacques & Hérincq (1851) 
adopt C. lanata "Vahl" as the accepted name for the taxon, redu- 
cing C. , pedunculata R. Br. to synonymy under it. 

Ridley (1923) includes C. pedunculata only under "Excluded 
Species" for the Malay Peninsula, commenting that the "Wallich, 
1834, no. 2" cited by Gamble is "Hamilton, 1334" from Penang, but 
actually represents what is now called C, " candicans (Burm. f.) 
Hochr. He states categorically that "There is no evidence for 
Callicarpa pedunculata occurring in the [Malay] Peninsula", 

It should also be noted here that C. B. Robinson 300, from Am- 
boina, was at first regarded by Merrill and others as r represen~ 
ting the Mamanira alba of Rumphius (17,3), but the latter is now 
regarded by me as belonging to the synonymy of Callicarpa longi- 
folia Lam. Stapf, however, in 1929 still cites Rumphius! pl. 59 
as illustrating "C. cuspidata". 

Sprengel (1825) places C. pedunculata in the synonymy of what 
he calls C. lanata L. {now known as C. tomentosa (L.) Murr.) 
along with | C. dentata Roth and C. incana Roxb. [the latter now re- 
garded as By macrophylla Vahl]. He lie regarded C. cuspidata Roxb. 
as a distinct species from C. pedunculata, this being quite under- 


452 P°RSY-T/O LOG) te Vol.»21, naseT 


standable if C. pedunculata is regarded as a synonym of C. tomen- 
tosa. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) also kept c. pedunculata 
and C. cuspidata apart as separate species. In the synonymy of 
the former he placed C, americana Blanco, C. bicolor F. Vill., C. 
blancoi Rolfe, C. formosana Rolfe, C. ovata a .02 Bi , B. Robinson, and 
Cc. atanspiviia Merr. -- actually, C. ', formosana and C. stenophylla 
are valid species [albeit the former is very close to C. peduncu- 
lata) and the other binomials he cites are all synonyms Ss. of C-== C. 
formosana Rolfe. Under "C. cuspidata Roxb." he places, as syno- 
nyms (almost unbelievably!) C. acutidens Schau., C. caudata Maxim., 
C. lancifolia Merr., C. longipes Dunn, 3 Dunn, C. micrantha Vidal, C. pi- 
losissima Maxim., C. psilocalyx C. B. Clarke, Cc. rubella linda 
C. sessilifolia Wall., C. tenuiflora Champ., and Mamanira Rumph.J 
Of these, C. acutidens, C. caudata, C. longipes, C. C. micrantha, 
C. pilosissima, C. SLs and On rubella are all valid and 
distinct species, |, while Cc. lancifolia Merr. is a synonym of C. 
merrillii Moldenke, C. sessilifolia Wall. and C. tenuiflora 
Champ. are synonyms of C. rubella Lindl., and Mamanira alba 
Rumph. is C. longifolia Lam. Because of this amazingly broad con- 
cept of the species in question, his description and his state- 
ment of geogravhic distribution are useless. He comments under 
what he calls C. lanata Zipp. "Perhaps this species is identical 
with C. cana or C. cuspidata Roxb." -- I regard it as C. peduncu- 
iata R. Br. 

~~ Chang (1951) includes under Cc. pedunculata the C. formosana of 
Rolfe, the C. aspera of Handel-—Mazzetti, and the C. rubella f. 
robusta of Pei. I follow Merrill in regarding Cc. formosana as 
valid, with C. aspera as a synonym, and also accept C. rubella f. 
robusta as valid. Obviously, however, C. pedunculata - is very 
closely allied to C. formosana. The latter may actually be only 
a variety of the former or they may even be the same taxon as 


Bakhuizen (1921), Chang (1951), and others maintain. 
Vernacular names recorded for C. pedunculata are "a cibulit", 


"a peptipinagut", "beauty-berry", "béning-b&ning rih", "méniran", 
"katoempang", tmémSni ran", "ringan", “ringan-ringan", and "wild 
heliotrope". 

Kajewski tells us that on Guadalcanal island when a small 
baby in arms is sick the fruit of this plant is chewed with a 
betel nut and spat into the baby's mouth. N. E. Brown (1890) in- 
forms us that the species was introduced into cultivation in 
1788 from the East Indies. According to Cummins (190) it is at- 
tacked by the fungus, Uredo callicarpae Petch, as can be seen on 
herbarium specimens of " Clemens & Clemens 1368, 1452, & 1453 from

Chang (1951) cites the following collections, but since he in-

Lam's original (191) description of this variety is "Folia

to read "foliis supra pilis simplicibus sparsis, subtus pilis 
stellatus sparsis tecta, glandulosa; nervis utrinque densius pi- 
losis; calyx minus dense pubescente," and cites three collections:

Key Island “imported into Buitenzorg and cultivated there sub

Wetar, altitude 600—-800 meters, collected February 19, 1910. He 
comments that "This variety has. an affinity with C. macrophylla, 
with which some authors confound the species, by the form of its 
leaves, especially in regard with the base." Kanehira & Hatusima 
(1942) cite Brass 13356 & 14133 from New Guinea. This collector 
found the plant ¢ growing in dense rainforests at 50 meters alti- 
tude, flowering in July.

probably actually represent XI.G.9a. Many sheets conprise both 
collections together and are inscribed "XI.G.l9 en a", 

In all, 16 herbarium specimens have been examined by me.

Lam's original (1919) description of this variety is "folia 
angustiora, basi angustiori, latitudine majore supra medium, den- 
tibus marginibus minutioribus; calyx pilis longis glanduliferis 
vestitus." He based the variety on two cotype collections: (1) 
Forsten s.n. from Tondano, Celebes, collected in May 180, and 
deposited in the Rijksherbarium at Leiden as sheets number 
908266-1226 & 908266-1227, and (2) Hollrung 210 from Sattel 
Mountain near Finschhafen, West Irian, collected in July 1886, 
and probably also deposited in the Leiden herbarium, In his 
1924 work he cites only Hollrung 210. The plant has been col- 
lected in flower and fruit in May and July. As yet I have seen 
no material of it. In previous publications I regarded the var- 
iety as invalid, but it seems to me now that the characters given 
for it by Lam render it sufficiently distinct to be worthy of 
nomenclatural designation,

it on four cotype collections, all from West Irian and probably 
all deposited in the Rijksherbarium at Leiden: (1) Nyman 580

plant has been collected in anthesis in January and July and in

A shrub, about 2 m. tall, the younger parts distinctly stel- 
late-tomentose with pale-brownish hairs, the older parts glabrous; 
branches terete, brownish, glabrous; branchlets very slender, the 
younger parts densely stellate-tomentose; leaves decussate= 
opposite; petioles about 3 mm. long, stellate-tomentose; leaf- 
blades chartaceous, olivaceous above, brownish-olivaceous beneath 
(in drying), lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, 11--15 cm. long, 2— 
cm. wide, narrowed upwards to the very slender caudate-acuminate 
apex (the acumen itself 1—-2 cm. long), prominently dentate- 
serrate along the margins with somewhat apiculate teeth, obtuse 
at the base, somewhat shiny and glabrous above or with the midrib 
somewhat stellate-tomentose, shiny and with very numerous shiny 
glands in minute pits beneath, with the midrib and sometimes the 
secondaries stellate-tomentose; secondaries about 7 per side, 
very prominent, arcuate-ascending, anastomosing; vein and veinlet 
reticulation lax, prominent; cymes axillary, solitary, few- 
flowered, very lax, to 6 cm. long and wide, dichotomously branch- 
ed, more or less stellate-tomentose; peduncles about 2 cm. long; 
pedicels about 0.5 mm. long, "jointed to the branchlets" (accor- 
ding to Merrill); bractlets linear, 1--1.5 mm. long; calyx cupu- 
liform, about 1.4 mm. long and wide, its rim truncate or very 
obscurely -toothed; corolla purplish; drupes globose, about 3 mm. 
in diameter, glabrous, wrinkled when dry. 

The type of this species was collected by Maximo Ramos and 
Gregorio E. Edafio (Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 26233) in open places 
along streams, at an altitude of about 50 meters, on Mount Umin- 
gan, Nueva Ecija Province, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on August 
8, 1916, and was deposited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Sci- 
ence at Manila, now unfortunately destroyed. 

Merrill (1917) comments that this is "A species well character- 
ized by its slenderly caudate-acuminate, prominently toothed, near-

ly glabrous, very prominently nerved leaves, and its lax, few- 
flowered inflorescences. It is perhaps as closely allied to Cal- 
licarpa dolichophylla Merr. as to any other described species, _ 
but is entirely different in its vegetative and inflorescence 
characters." 

Material of this species has been misidentified and distribu- 
ted in herbaria under the names C. slegans Hayek, C. formosana 
var. glabrescens Moldenke, and C. japonica var. dichotoma (Lour.)

The original description of this species by Maximowicz (1886) 
is "Pilis setosis gilvis patentibus ad ramulos petiolos cymas et 
paginam inferiorem foliorum dense hirsuta, foliis breve petiola- 
tis ex lineari oblongolanceolatis sensim longe acuminatis basi 
subcordatis obsolete serrulatis, superne pilis albidis brevioribus 
dense molliter pubescentibus; pedunculis petiolos duplo superan- 
tibus, cymis divaricatobifidis densiusculis, calyce hispido ob- 
tuse dentato, corollae glabrae lobis tubo apice dilatato plus 
triplo brevioribus, staminibus corollam stylumque leviter bilobum 
triplo superantibus. Formosa (Oldham! n. 387. flor. ). Similis 
Callicarpa angustae Schauer (Cuming! n no. ~ 1425) e Philippinis, 
quae tamen differt pube, foliis subtus incanis basi cuneatis, 
corolla extus tomentosa; nec non Callicarpa caudatae n., cujus 
diagnosim inserere liceat." 

Recent collectors describe this plant as a bush or shrub, 2—3 
m. tall, the corollas pale-purple or violet, inhabiting mountains 
and woods, to 600 m. altitude, flowering in February, September, 
and December, fruiting in September. Wilson reports it "abundant 
in forests" on Formosa. Vernacular names reported for it are 
"8ng-bin nafig-chiong-kun", "aoge-murasaki", "hosoba-murasaki", 
"kyabazyu-bazyu", "narrow-leaved beauty-berry", "rakabo", and 
"Taiwan beauty-berry". The corollas on Gressitt 2h7 are described 
as "pale-purple" and those on T. Kaudern an as "violet". The 
C. acuminatissima Teijsm. & Binn., referred to in the synonymy a= 
bove, is the name-bringing synonym of Geunsia acuminatissima 
(Tei jem. & Binn.) H. J. Lam. 

Henry (1896) cites A. Henry 267, Matsumura (1699) cites Owa- 
tari s.n. and Tashiro 18a, while Matsumura & Hayata (1906) cite 
Hayata s. 5.N., Kawakami s.n., Miyake s.n., Owatari s.n., and Tash- 
iro s.n. Chang (1951) cites ; Oldham 387 (the type) and Tanaka & & 
Shimada ada 1319, but the latter is re regarded by me as representing 
var. henryi yi Yamamoto. Li (1963) does not regard Yamamoto's vari- 
ety as distinct and cites Faurie 1468, Gressitt 2h7 & 267, A.

to that island. 

Lam (1919) asserts that the species is related to C. caudata

Roxb. (which I regard as C. pedunculata R. Br.), but this is mam

Material of C. pilosissima has been misidentified and distribu-

In all, 20 herbarium specimens of the typical form of this spe- 
cies have been examined by me.

Yamamoto's original (193) description of this variety is 
"*Callicarpa sp. nov. in Sched. Herb. Bort. Bot. Nov. Eborac. Ramus 
tenuiter, ubique villosus. Folia petiolata, elongato- vel lineari-

supra ad costam et venas dense villosissima; petiolis brevibus 5 m 
longis ubique villosissimis. Cymae divericatae, pedunculis petiolo 
triplo superantibus molliter hirsutis,." 

The type of the variety was collected by Augustine Henry (no. 
120) at Bankinsing, Formosa, and is deposited in the Britton Herba- 
rium at the New York Botanical Garden. Yamamoto (193) cites also 
Yamamoto 2366 from Mount Rugatsuzan and comments that "This varie- 
ty differs from the species in having thinner longer petioled 
leaves which are not as densely pubescent as the form Maximowicz 
described". He records the vernacular name "usuba-murasakishikibu".

Recent collectors describe this plant as a semi-woody bush, 2— 
5 m. tall, the stems to 7 cm. in diameter, the corollas pale- 
purple (Gressitt 247), pink (Lau 20149), or pinkish (Keng s.n.), 
and the fruit purple [or white?]. It has been found in flower in 
February, June, July, and October, and in fruit in January, June, 
October, and November, at 550 m. altitude, inhabiting roadsides. 
Wilson reports it as "common" or "abundant in forests" on Formosa. 
Vernacular names are the one previously mentioned and "mai tap 
kong". 

Chang (1951) cites only the type collection, A. Henry 120. 
Gressitt makes the very ambiguous statement "fruit purple, white" 
-- exactly what he means by this is not clear. 

Material of this variety has often been misidentified and dis- 
tributed in herbaria as typical C. pilosissima Maxim. or under 
the cheironymous misspelling "C. pilossissima Maxim." 

In all, 17 herbarium specimens, including the type collection, 
and one mounted photograph of this variety have been examined by 
me.

Merrill's original (1918) description of this species is as 
follows: "A tree about 8 m. high, the branches 1 cm. in diameter 
or less, glabrous, somewhat angled, the branchlets densely 
puberulent with pale dirty brown indumentum. Leaves subcoriace- 
ous, oblong-elliptic or obovate-elliptic, entire, slenderly sub- 
caudate-acuminate, base acute, 35 to 50 cm. long, 18 to 20 cm. 
wide, the upper surface glabrous, olivaceous, shining, the lower 
very densely covered with minute matted, pale, puberulent hairs, 
the individual hairs not evident under an ordinary lens; lateral 
nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, very prominent on 
the lower surface as are the subparallel primary reticulations, 
curved, anastomosing; petioles stout, densely puberulent, angled, 
to Ph cm. long. Cymes axillary, peduncled, rather densely 

stellate-—pubescent with pale hairs, dichotomous, about 7 cm long 
and 9 cm wide, the bracts linear-lanceolate, h to 5 mn long, the 
bracteoles numerous, similar to the bracts but about 1 mm long. 
Calyx truncate, cup-shaped, 3 mm in diameter, glabrous or nearly

so. Fruits globose, about 3.5 mm in diameter." 

The species is based on Philip. Forest. Bur. 26967, collected 
by José Maria Velasco in forests, at about 50 meters altitude, at 
Pamplona, Cagayan Province, Luzon, Philippines, on August 9, 1917, 
and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Byreau of 
Science at Manila before its destruction during World War II. 
Merrill comments that this is "A most remarkable species, well 
characterized by its very large, entire, slenderly acuminate 
leaves, which are glabrous above and densely matted puberulent on 
the lower surface with a pale-brownish, shining non-stellate in- 
dumentum; glands, if present, are entirely obscured by the indu- 
mentum." 

So far I have seen only one herbarium specimen and 2 mounted 
photogravhs of this species.

The type of this species was collected by Maximo Ramos and 
Gregorio E. Edafio along forested streams, at about 00 meters al- 
titude, at San Mariano, in Isabela Province, Luzon, Philippine 
Islands, and is Philip. Bur. Sci. 46928, deposited in the herbar- 
ium of ‘she Philippine Bureau of Science at Manila, now destroyed. 
Merrill comments (1928): "A species characterized. by its lanceo- 
late, entire leaves, which are green and glabrous above and 
densely pale stellate-pubescent beneath, the indumentum on its 
branchlets, and inflorescences being plumose and castaneous." 

Recent collectors describe the plant as 2 m. tall, the stems 
h--6 cm. in diameter, the corollas yellow [Herb. Philip. Bur. 
Sci. 46928], the stamens whitish-blue [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 
4.7121], the pollen yellow, and the fruit violet. It has been 


found growing in secondary forests at low altitudes and along 
forest streams, to 00 m, altitude, flowering in February, March, 
and August, and fruiting in February. Material has been misiden- 
tified and distributed in herbaria as C. erioclona Schau. 

In all, 10 herbarium specimens, including the type collection, 
and 2 mounted photographs of this species have been examined by 
me.

Dop (1932) describes this plant as follows: "Frutex vel arbor 
5--6 m. altus. Ramuli subquadrangulares tenuiter ferrugineo 
tomentoso stellato obtecti. Folia paullo coriacea, elliptico- 
oblonga, basi acuta et paullo decurrentia, obtusa vel acuta et 
abrupte acuminato—caudata apice, sinuato-denticulata vel sinuato- 
dentata, supra sparse pubescentia pilis stellatis in juventute, 
adulta glabra et brunnea in sicco, subtus tenuissimo tomento ap- 
primo griseo vel albido et nonnullis pilis stellatis erectis ob- 
tecta, 20--28 cm. longa x 5--7,5 cm. lata; nervus gracilis, teres,

subtus valde prominens; costae 18-22, primum rectilineares, de- 
inde abrupte recurvatae et ascendentes; venae subparalleles; re- 
ticulationes conspicuae; petiola 18—-25 mm. longa, cum crista 
prominente conjuncta. Inflorescentiae: cymae stellato-pubescen- 
tes, dichotomiae, multiflorae, 2--3 cm. longae et latae; bracteae 
minimae; pedunculi 8--10 mm. longi; pedicelli 1 mm. longi; flores 
mm, longi. —- Calyx truncatus, valde stellato-tomentosus, 2 mm. 
longus, dentibus ) minutissimis - Corolla basi valde coarctata 
deinde late dilatata, extus valde stellato-tomentosa, mm. longa; 
tubus amplus, 3 m. longus; lobi  rotundati, 1 m. longi. Stam- 
ina ; filamenta corollam aequantia et basi inserta; antherae ex- 
sertae, valde dorsum glandulosae. Ovarium fere glabrum, glandu- 
losum; stylus stamina aequans; stigma capitatum. — Fructus: 
drupa nigra, glabra, 3 mm. lata.” 

The species is based on Poilane 8265 from Annam, Chevalier 
31781, Harmand s.n., and Poilane ilane 17611 . from Cambodia, Pierre 5226 
from Cochinchina, and Pierre s.n. from Thailand. Dop (1932) com= 
ments that "Cette espéce est trés voisine du C. angustifolia 
King et Gamble......dont elle se rapproche par la cr&te inter- 
oétiolaire. La structure de la fleur est la méme, avec cependant 
une différence importante. Dans C. Poilanei l'ovaire est presque 


glabre, tandis qu'il est villeux dans l'espece de King et Gamble. 
Des différences plus facilement visibles s'accusent dans la forme 
des feuilles et leur revStement. Dans mon espéce les feuilles 
sont elliptiques-oblongues et non lancéolées, aigués et non lon- 
guement attenuées a la base, brusquement acuminées-caudées et non 
aigués-attemuées au sommet. Presque entieres dans l'espéce de 
King et Gamble les feuilles de C. Poilanei sont sinuées-denticu- 
1ées et m&me abondamment sinuées-dentées. Enfin le tomentum da 
la face inférieure est beaucoup plus fin que dans C. angusti- 
folia." 

In all, 9 herbarium specimens of this species, including co- 
type collections, have been examined by me.

Detailed descriptions and discussions of this species have 
been given by me in previous publications. Recent collectors de- 
scribe it as a large shrub, 5 m. tall, with white corollas 
[Moore 3392, Pennell 17918], growing in mixec woods, low tropi- 
cal woods, tropical forests, and on rocky limestone areas, at al- 
titudes of 50 to 1200 meters. Trey have found it in flower from 
June to August and in fruit in June and August. 

Standley (192)) distinguishes it from the very closely related 
and perhaps conspecific C. acuminata H.B.K. as follows: 

Leaves persistently but minutely stellate—pubescent on the upper 
SUPLACE 1. cece cc ccccceccccccscccccccsccscoscesce acuminata. 
Leaves glabrous on the upper surface except when very 
YOUNZ oo ccccccccccccccccccceccscccccsccccsssccesele pringlei. 

As I have stated in previous publications, it is probable 
that Briquet's plant deserves no more than varietal or form sta- 
tus under C. acuminata, since so many intermediate specimens ex— 
ist. Gaumer, in fact, suggested "C. acuminata H.B.K. form?" on 
the labels of one of his collections. 

The type of C. americana Sessé & Moc. is Sessé, Mocifio, Cas= 
tillo, & Maldonado 519 [ic. no. 293], deposited in the Madrib 
herbarium. 

It should be pointed out here that the C. americana of Linnae- 
us, referred to in the synonymy above, is a valic species, with 
the homonyms attributed to Lamarck, to Roxburgh, and to Willdenow 
as synonyms, while the C. americana of Blanco is C. formosana 
Rolfe, that of Loureiro is C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr., that 
attributed to Thunberg is C. japonica Thunb., and that attributed 
to horticultural origin is C. longifolia Lam.

Clarke's original (1885) description of this plant is "arbor- 
escent, leaves elliptic acuminate denticulate mature nearly gla- 
brous, cymes small short-peduncled stellately villous, calyx men— 
branous in flower glandular scarcely hairy. Khasia Mts., alt. h- 
5000 ft.; Wallich, J. D. H., &c. A small tree; branchlets dense- 
ly stellate-tomentose. Leaves 8 by 2 3/h in., or 21/2 by 1 in., 
base rounded or cuneate thinly membranous, mature with scattered 
stellate hairs on the midrib beneath, tertiary venation close 
prominent, glands minute scattered; petiole 1/8 --1/ in. Ped- 
uncles mostly very short; cymes usually few-fld.; pedicels some- 
times pink. Calyx 1/2) in., minutely )-toothed, greenish or 
pinkish minutely gland-dotted, with a few scattered hairs when 
young whiteish or membranous in fruit. Corolla pink. Fruit 
scarcely 1/12 in. diam. — C. longifolia Benth, Fl. Hongk. 270 
(not of Lamk.), in the glabrous calyx, inflorescence, and struc- 
ture of leaves comes very near this; but in that the leaves are 
linear-lanceolate, and the fruit very much larger." 

Bentham's plant, referred to above, is now regarded a being C. 
longissima (Hems1.) Merr. eT 

Recent collectors describe C. psilocalyx as a straggling 
shrub or small tree, about 2 m. tall, the corollas pink-violet or 
purple. They have found it growing in wet evergreen forests, at 
altitudes of 00—600 meters, flowering in May and August, fruit- 
ing in August. Smitinand describes it as "common in evergreen 
jungles" in Thailand. Deb (1961) records it from Manipur, India. 
The corolla is describes as "purple" on Smitinand 837 and as 
"pink-violet" on Larsen, Santisuk, & Warncke 3232. 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 69 


Rehder (1916) asserts that C. psilocalyx is related to C. bod- 
inieri var. giraldii (Hesse) Rehd., differing from that taxon 
"chiefly in its densely pubescent branchlets, in its long-acumin- 
ate leaves usually obtuse or rounded at the base, shorter petioles, 
smaller inflorescences, and in the filaments scarcely exceeding 
the corolla-lobes"., Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces it 
to what he calls C. cuspidata Roxb., while Fletcher (1938) cites 


actually C. longifolia Lam. 

In all, 4 herbarium specimens of C. psilocalyx have been ex- 
amined by me.

h-lobed; drupes "green" [when immature], produced on the trunk up 
to the branches. 

This species is based on Mrs. Clemens 1167 from Camp Keithley, 
Lake Lanzo, Mindanao, Philippine Islands, collected in September, 
1907, and s.n. collected at the same locality in July, 1907, both 
deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Byreau of Science at 
Manila, but now unfortunately destroyed. Merrill (1908) comments 
that this is "A species well characterized by its large leaves, 
and fascicled, congested, short cymes which are from the branches 
below the leaves." 

Lam (1919) cites M. Ramos 15278 from Dagana, Leyte, Philippine 
Islands, and states that the species grows also on M;ndanao. He 
asserts that it is related to C. cauliflora Merr., which he dis- 
tinguishes in his key by its leaf—blades being acute or cuneate 
to attenuate at the base. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces 
Cc. ramiflora to the synonymy of what he calls C. pentandra var. 
typica f. hexandra Bakh. [now known as Geunsia - hexandra (Teijsm. 
& Binn.) Koord.], under which name specimens imens have been misidenti- 
fied and distributed in herbaria. 

Callicarpa ramiflora has been found growing along forest 
streams, at an altitude of 1000 meters, flowering in August, and 
fruiting in November and December. The fruits mounted in a separ— 
ate packet on Ramos & Edafio s.n. [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 7533] 
in the herbarium of the Uni University of California at Berkeley may 
not belong to this plant; the corollas of this collection are 
described as "pinkish-blue", but Lam (1919) avers that in the 
species under discussion here they are "white", 

The M. Ramos s.n. [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 4150], cited under 
C. cauliflora Merr. in the present series of notes, bears a strik- 
ing resemblance to C. ramiflora.

Bush or shrub, 2--3.5 m. tall; trunk to about 1.25 cm. in di- 
ameter; branches whitish-gray or reddish-gray, slender, glabrous 
or subglabrous, lenticellate; branches slender, divaricate, 
stellate-tomentose or very short-pubescent; lenticels elevated; 
leaves opposite, petiolate, exstipulate, the young ones stellate- 
tomentose; petioles 3--10 mm. long, very short-tomentose; leaf- 
blades oblong-lanceolate, .5--10 cm. long, 1—3 cm. wide, acum- 
inate at the apex, obtuse or acute at the base, serrate or serru- 
late with apiculate teeth along the margins except toward the en- 
tire apex and base, darkened above in drying, glabrate on both 
surfaces except for the very short—pubescent or stellate-tomen- 
tose midrib and larger veins, paler beneath and very sparsely 
stellate-pilose or short-pubescent, glandulose with minute shiny 
yellow punctiform glands on the lamina and with scattered minute 
impressed glands near the base and midrib; cymes axillary, about 
twice as long as the subtending petiole, few-branched, the 
branches short and divaricate; peduncles about 1.5 cm. long; 
bractlets narrow, subulate, father thick, mimte, about 1.5 m 
long; pedicels 1--2 mm, long; calyx campanulate or campanulate- 
cupuliform, 1.5--2 mm. long, glandular—pulverulent externally,

lobed, the teeth or lobes obtuse or acute at the apex; corolla 
pink or purple, to 5.5 mm. long, tubular-campanulate, glandular- 
pulverulent and yellow-dotted on the outside or glabrous, the 
tube about mm. long and 2.5 mm. wide, the limb 5-lobed, the 
lobes about 1.5 mm. long, spreading, rounded; stamens , about 7 
mm. long, attached at the base of the corolla-tube; filaments

filiform, about 6.5 mm. long; anthers oblong, about 2 mm. long 
and 1 mm. wide, truncate at the apex, sagittate at the base; style 
dilated above, filiform, about 8 mm. long; stigma dilated, broad- 
ly 2-fid or 2-lobed; ovary globose or ovoid, about 1.5 mm, long, 
attenuate at the apex, densely yellow-dotted; fruit at first 
green, later purple or violet, round. 

This species is based on Ue Mori 7023 from Randaizan, Formosa, 
collected in August, 1908, while Cc. parvifolia Hayata iS based on 
Kawakami & Mori 2879 from Daimari, , Taite, Formosa. The species 
has been found growing in pierces and Pa and on mountain- 
tops, at altitudes of 1165 to 2600 meters, flowering in June, July, 
and September, and fruiting in July, September, October, and De- 
cember. Vernacular names recorded for it are "Luanta beauty- 
berry", "randai-murasaki", and "small-leaved beauty-berry". Hay- 
ata (1911) says that it is "near Callicarpa japonica Thunb., from 
which the present plant differs in having lanceolate leaves. Al- 
so near C. gracilis Sieb. et Zucc. and C. elegans Hayek, but dif- 
fers from the former by the more conspicuously serrulate leaves, 
and from the latter, in having less acuminate, more hairy, leaves 
and larger flowers." 

Nakai (1922) is of the opinion that "Callicarpa parvifolia is 
a young branch of C. randaiensis having still folding leaves and 
very young flower-buds. This species is very closely related to 
C. japonica, only differing by the slenderer stalks and narrower 
leaves." 

Bailey (1935) states that C. randaiensis is offered to the 
horticultural trade by a nurseryman in Taihoku. 

Hui-Lin Li (1963) reduces the species to synonymy under C. ja- 
ponica var. angustata Rehd., saying "The reduction of C. randai- 
ensis Hayata is made on the basis of the type and the original 
description. Callicarpa parviflora Hayata has been previously 
reduced to the synonymy of C. randaiensis by Kanehira." He cites 


Mori 7023 (which he says is the type pe collection), Kanehiea 2878, 
Kawakami & Mori 2878 & 2879, Matuda 197 & s.n., Suzuki 6986 & 8 & Ss. 
n., and E. H. H. Wilson 10848. Chang Chang (1951) cites nos. 3047 & 72751 
from Formosa, but the collectors and/or herbarium names are, un- 
fortunately, given only in Chinese characters. He compares * the 
species with C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch, but, again, only in 
Chinese. He erroneously cites C. pare belis Book, & Arn. to "Bot. 
Beechey's Voy. 295. 1836", but this binomial was actually pub- 
lished on page 305 of that work and the date of publication of 
the part containing that page is 1838. 

The corollas of C. randaiensis are described as "pink" on 

Gressitt 315 and as - tpurple" on Gressitt 374. Material of the 

species has been misidentified and distributed in herbaria under 
the names C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch and C. longifolia longis- 
sima Hemsl. The H. H. Bartlett 6082 collection, in fact, was 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 473 


originally distributed as C. longifolia longissima Hemsl., then 
"corrected" to C. longissima (Hemsl.) Merr., and then to C. longi- 
folia f. floccosa Schau. 

ae i all, 19 herbarium specimens and 1 mounted photograph of C. 
randaiensis have been examined by me.

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in 
having its leaves thin-membranous, very small, 2—1),.5 cm. long, 
7--1 mm. wide, narrowly elliptic, long-acuminate at the apex, 
cuneate-acuminate at the base, finely appressed-serrulate from 
below the middle to the base of the terminal acumination, and 
glabrous on both surfaces. 

The type of the variety was collected by Hyon Pia Chong at 
Wan-Do, Korea, on October 29, 1950, and is deposited in the her- 
barium of the University of California at Berkeley. The Korean 
vernacular name for the plant is said to be "chhom-chaksal-=namu". 
The type collection was originally misidentified and distributed 
as C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch. 

In all, only 2 herbarium specimens, including the type, have 
been seen by me of this variety.

Collectors have encountered this species in anthesis and fruit 
in April and November and report the vernacular name "filigrana". 
José P. Carabia has stated to me personally that it is rather 
certain that the type collection, previously cited by me as ques- 
tionably from Oriente, Cuba, actually came from the province of 
Pinar del Rfo, on the opposite end of the island. It should also 
be noted here that I am now of the opinion that this species may 
actually be the same as what is now passing as C. fulva var. 
glabrescens Moldenke. More careful comparison of the specimens 
involved, together with exhaustive field work, is indicated. Ma- 
terial of C. resinosa has been distributed in some herbaria under 
the tentative designation of "C. ferruginea var." 

In all, 22 herbarium specimens of C. resinosa, including the 
type, and 20 mounted photographs have been examined by me.

Sprengel (1825) asserts that this species is native to Jamai- 
ca and Hispaniola, but I have not as yet seen any material of it 
from Hispaniola -- and this in spite of the intensive explora- 
tory work being done on this island by my friend, Alain Liogier. 
Bocquillon (1863) records it from St. Thomas, but his "record" 
doubtless refers to C. ampla Schau. Sagra, Grisebach, Sauvalle, 
Garcia Caflizares, and other authors record it from Cuba, but all 
these references are doubtless to the closely related C. cuben- 
sis Urb. ~ 
~~ My very good friend, William T. Stearn, in a letter to me 
dated March 4, 1960, says "In Fedde, Repert. 0: 82 (1936) you 
say that the type of Callicarpa reticulata Swartz 'was collected 
by O. P. Swartz in Jamaica'. Swartz placed, however an asterisk 
against his diagnosis, which, as indicated in his preface, means 
that this was not based on a specimen of his own gathering but 
on material from the West Indies which he found in the herbarium 
of Sir Joseph Banks (now in the British Museum (Natural History) 
London). In his Flora Indiae Occidentalis 1: 253 (1797) he even 
says "Species haecce, cujus descriptionem mihi praebuerunt speci- 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 477 


mina in Museo Banksiano'. These specimens were gathered by W. 
Wright, F. Masson and H. de Ponthieu. You then state that 'no 
material of the type collection has thus far been available for 
examination' but presumably from the close agreement between 
Swartz's description and a W. Wright specimen in the British Mu- 
seum (Nat. Hist.) you consider the latter 'to represent the true 
C. reticulata'. This is a fortunate opinion, because there can 
be no doubt that these Wright specimens are in fact the type- 
collection! Your description thus unknowingly gives a good mod= 
ern account of the type." 

The C. F. Baker 5126, distributed as C. reticulata, is, of 
course, like all other Cuban material so determined, actually C. 
cubensis Urb. = 

In all, 3 herbarium specimens of C. reticulata, including the 
type, have been examined by me.

The type of the species was collected by Henry Ogg Forbes (no. 
272) at an altitude of 2000--2700 feet, at Pasir Orai, Bantam, 
Java, and is probably deposited in the herbarium of the British 
Museum (Natural History) in London. Moore notes that "The fruit 
is described from a specimen at the Museum collected by Mr. Rid= 
ley on Mt. Salak." 

Nothing further is known to me of this species.

Shrub, apparently sometimes subscandent, 2--5 m. tall; branches 
terete or the ultimate ones somewhat compressed, along with the 
branchlets very densely covered by a whitish or yellowish-white 
indumentum composed of short stellate hairs with some stellate- 
plumose ones intermixed; branchlets slender; leaves decussate- 
opposite; petioles 0.5--1.8 cm. long, densely stellate-tomentose 
with yellowish-white hairs; leaf-blades chartaceous, lanceolate 
or narrow-lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate-obovate or narrowly 
oblanceolate, 7--20 cm. long, 1.5—-l cm. wide, equally narrowed 
and attenuate-acute at both ends or slenderly acuminate at the 
apex, serrate or very minutely repand—dentate along the margins 
except at the base and apex or slightly and irregularly denticu- 
late above and entire on the lower half, dark and quite glabrous 
above when dry or with a few stellate hairs along the midrib, 
densely whitish-tomentose beneath with a dense sometimes yellow- 
ish-white indumentum; secondaries about 9 pairs, arcuate-ascend- 
ing, prominent beneath, anastomosing; vein and veinlet reticula- 
tion abundant but obscure; inflorescence densely stellate- 
tomentose with yellowish-white hairs; cymes axillary, solitary, 
about 3 cm. wide or less, dichotomously branched, rather lax, 
comparatively few-flowered; peduncles about as long as the sub-

tending petiole; calyx somewhat infundibular, about 2 mm. long, 
extremely densely white- or grayish-puberulent to appressed-lanate 
or densely stellate-hairy on the outer surface, the rim slightly 
h-toothed; corolla white, about 3 mm. long, somewhat pubervlent 
on the outside, the tube scarcely exserted, the limb l-lobed, 
slightly pubescent or stellate-pilose externally; anthers 1.3 m, 
long, glandulose on the back; drupes globose, about 3 m. wide, 
glabrous, with  pyrenes. 

The type of this species (as well as of Lam's C. angusta var. 
longifolia) was collected by Frederick William Foxworthy [Herb. 
Philip. Bur. Sci. 660] on rocky riverbanks, at about 1150 meters 
altitude, on Mount Victoria, Palawan, Philippine Islands, on 
March 23, 1906, and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philip- 
pine Bureau of Science, now destroyed. Merrill (1912) cites also 
another Foxworthy collection, Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 719, gath- 
ered on March 24, 1906, at Serepely the same locality, making 
it a topotype. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) cites these col- 
lections as Foxworthy 660 & 719 and cites no other material. 

Lam (1919) comments in his discussion of C. angustifolia King 
& Gamble that "This species has a close affinity with C. angusta 
var. @ [i.e., var. longifolia] and perhaps it will appear that 
it is synonimous with it. But it seems to differ from it by the 
pubescent corolla and the hardly denticulate leaves". Merrill 
(1912) says of C. rivularis: "A species manifestly very closely 
allied to Callicarpa angusta Schauer, differing especially in 
its indumentum". Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces it to 
form rank under C. erioclona Schau. 

Callicarpa rivularis has been collected in flower and fruit in 
March and April. Material has been misidentified and distributed 
in herbaria as C. angusta Schau. and the two Foxworthy collections 
were actually so cited by me in a previous installment of these 
notes. 

In all, 6 herbarium specimens of C. rivularis, including the 
type collection, have been examined by me.

Recent collectors describe this plant as a shrub, 3--l m. 
tall, growing along roadsides, flowering in April, and fruiting 
in January. They record the vernacular variant "filigrana del 
pinar". Since the plant is also known as "filifrana fruto 
blanco", one may assume that its mature fruits are white, al- 
though all that I have seen (in the dried state) were black. 

In all, 32 herbarium specimens of C. roigii, including the 
types of all the names involved, and 1, mounted photographs have 
been examined by me.

It should be noted here that the C. cuspidata accredited to 
Hasskarl in the synonymy above is actually a synonym of C. longi- 
folia Lam., that accredited to Lam & Bakhuizen van den Brink is 
c. C. longipes Dunn, that ascribed to Roxburgh is C. pedunculata R. 
Br., and that pradibad to Bakhuizen van den Brink alone is in 
part C. rubella Lindl. anc in part C. longipes Dunn; the C. japon- 
ica credited to "Hort. ex Moldenke" and to Linnaeus the younger 
is a synonym of C. japonica Thunb., a valid species, that credit- 
ed to Matsumura and to Miquel is C. japonica var. luxurians Rehd., 
and that credited to "Thunb. auct. ex Raf." is C. longifolia Lan.; 
the C. purpurea of Jussieu is C. dichotoma (Lour. ) K. Koch, while 
that attributed to "Hort. ex Moldenke" is C. longifolia meg and 
that ascribed to Nakai is C. japonica Thunb. 

Recent collectors describe C. rubella as a large, slender, or 
straggling shrub, 1--5 m. tall, bushy, diffuse, "fern-branched", 
or a small tree, "the leaves light-green, viscous above, the pedi- 
cels purple, the buds white, the flowers fragrant or slightly 
fragrant, the calyx stellate-tomentose, the anthers golden-yellow, 
the ovary pubescent, and the fruit at first green, later bright- 
blue or lilac to purplish-red or purple. Rock mistakenly refers 
to the drupes as "berries". 

The species has been found growing on coral reefs, in semi- 
shade, in woods, forests, evergreen forests, densely shaded mixed 
woods, or thickets, in ravines and open ravines, and along valley 
roadsides or roadsides in general, at altitudes from sealevel to 
2330 meters, flowering in March and from May to November, fruit- 
ing from July to January. 

Deb (1961) reports the species "frequent" on hills in Manipur, 
Panigrahi & Joseph (1966) say that it is "abundant" in the shrub 
layer in Nefa, Panigrahi & Naik (1966) found it to be "very com- 
mon in the Subansiri Frontier Division", and Prain reports it 
common in jungles in the Naga Hills, India. Dee found it to be 
common in open pine forests in Thailand, whilc, in the same 
country, Amnak describes it as a common shrub by streams. In 
Yunnan, Chin, Rock calls it a "small common shrub", while in 
Kwangsi it was found by Tsang to be fairly common in roadside 
meadows and fairly common as scattered shrubs in dry clay and 
silt on rocky soil. The same collector in Tonkin found it "fair- 
ly common in thickets on dry clayey soil". 

Common and vernacular names recorded for the species are 
"angro", "callicarpa rouge&tre", "callicarpe a fruits pourpres", 
"chaak tsai shue", "kap ts'ing", "nam lai phi sua", "pha", 
"sugroomook", "sugroo-mook", "sugrimik", and "suren". Hom re- 
ports that it serves as a drug plant in Kwangtung. 

Watt (1889) tells us that C. rubella is "A small tree of the 
North-East Himalaya to the hills of Martaban", while Lam (191) 
gives its distribution as "Punduah, Sikkim, Khasiah u. Jainteah; 
China; Sumatra; Java". Actually, it seems to grow from Pakistan 
and India to Thailand and Indochina, north to Hongkong and China,

and east to Sumatra, Krakatoa, Java, and Celebes. Bean (1951) 
avers that it was introduced into cultivation {in England] in 
1821, while Bailey (1935) reports that it is handled for the hor- 
ticultural trade by the Knap Hill mursery. 

Lam (1919) says "We could not find the reason why C. rubella 
Lindl. should have the priority above C. sessilifolia -Wall., bu but 
retained the first name, nevertheless, s since we found that all 
authors use it." Actually, Wallich's name was published 10 years 
earlier than Lindley's, but without description, and therefore is 
invalid under the present rules of botanic nomenclature. Lam 
cites Wallich's binomial as having been published in "1828", but 
the page 50 on which it occurs was actually not issued until 
1829. Lam also comments in regard to C. rubella: "Its affinity 
is, especially in regard with the flowers, with C. pedunculata, 
put its leaves are always cordate, subsessile and narrower, 
whilst its cymes are smaller, fasciculate, not widely dichoto- 
mous as in C. pedunculata". ” Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) re- 
duced C, rubella Lindl., C. sessilifolia Wall., and C. tenuiflo- 
ra Champ. to synonymy under what he called C. cuspidata Roxbe, 
while Fletcher (1938) reduces "C. cuspidata . Roxb., in part" to 
the synonymy of C. rubella! Srinivasan & Agarwal (1963) reduce 
C. rubella to synonymy under what they call C. rosea Lindl. 

Chang (1951) includes C. dielsii (Léveillé) Prei, C. panduri- 
formis Léveillé, C. rubella rubella var. dielsii (P'ei) Li, C. rubella 
var. hemsleyana Diels, and 8S, and Viburmum dielsii Léveillé in the syn- 
onymy of C. rubella. However, I regard C. rubella var. hemsley- 
ana and C. , rubella var. dielsii as valid varieties (with Viburm Viburnum 
dielsii and Callicarpa dielsii as synonyms of the latter), and 
Cc. C. panduriformis as a synonym of C. longipes Dunn. 

Merrill (1919) tells us that C. ', brevipetiolata Merr. differs 
from C. rubella in that it has the lower surface of its leaf- 
blades completely covered with dense stellate-tomentose indumen- 
tum. Regel (1863) says "Callicarpa lanata Vahl. [Abgebildet im 
Botanical Magazine in Jahrgang 1861] (pag. 96 cum ic.). Ist iden- 
tisch mit der in der Gartenflora 1860, pag. 56 erwahnten C. pur- 
purea Hort. (Fl. des serres tab. 1359. TLD; “hort; tab’. 202) come 
Vahls Name (Vahl. Symb. III. 13) als der Alteste, ist der gil- 
tige. Stammt aus den tropischen Neuholland." However, I regard 
Vahl's C. lanata as a synonym of C. pedunculata R. Br., which is, 
indeed, native to Australia [=Neuholland], while C. rubella is 
not known from that continent. It is worth noting here that the 
illustrations given by Van Houtte (1858), Lemaire & Verschaffelt 
(1859). and Regel (1860) are all mis-labeled "Callicarpa purpurea" 
[a very different species, now known as C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. 
Koch] but truly represent C. rubella. a 

The corolla of C. rubella is described as "pink" on Dee 973, 
Hom 142, and W. T. Tsang 2297 & 29133, "mauve" on W. R. }. Sykes

202/6L, "red" on Pitepool 19898 and Steward & Cheo 647, "maroon" 
on Levine & McClure 258/7177, "purplish" on Ching ing 5922, "purplish- 
rose” on Forrest 8393, and mwhite" on Chevalier ier 1708 a and Ying 772. 

Lindley (1825) says "This species of Callicarpa i is well dis- 
tinguished from all others of the genus by the peculiar outline 
of its leaves, which are sessile and approaching almost to pandur- 
iform, with a long taper point. It was brought from China, in 
1822, * tor the Horticultural Society, by the late Mr. John Potts. 
Our drawing was made in the Chiswick Garden, in May last." 

Ptei (1932) describes his f. angustata as follows: "Leaves 
thickly chartaceous, densely pubescent with stellate hairs, indu- 
mentum denser beneath, lanceolate oblong to oblanceolate-oblong, 
broadened above the middle, acuminate, base cordate, sessile, 
glandular on both surfaces, 8.5 cm. x *0 cm., 11.2 ca. x cm., 
11.7 cm. x 2.3 cm., 15 cu. *x uy cm. Peduncles 1 to 1.8 cm. long. 
Fruit 0.25 cm. in diameter." He does not designate a type, but 
bases the form on Forrest 7869 & 8393, A. Henry 212, 912, & 
gl2a, J. F. Rock 2915; 6932, | & 7101, and Schneider _ S191, Ae 
from Yiinnan, China. He describes his f. crenata as having the 


“Leaves thin, chartaceous, densely pubescent with simple hairs, 
densely glandular on both surfaces, oblanceolate, cordate, apex 
acuminate, crenately serrate, 4.5 cm. x 1.2 ca., 6 cm. X : 1 cn., 
8.2 cm. x 2. 5 em. Peduncles 0.6 to 0 -9 cm. long. Fruit 0.1 to 
0.15 cm. in diameter." Again, he designates no type, but bases 
the form on R. C. Ching 1610 & 5922, Tsiang 1618, and Ying 772, 
870, & 1155, “all from (he says) Kwangsi, China. However, speci- 
mens of Ying 772 and 1155 which I have seen bear labels indicat- 
ing that they were collected in Kwangtung. 

The type of Callicarpa sessilifolia is Wallich 1837 from 
"Pundua", The Wallich, Numer. List "49" [=50] reference, where 
this binomial first occurs, is erroneously dated "1828" by some 
writers. 

For C. violacea Korth. Lam (1919) says "see: Korthals. Verband 
over de Natuurl. Gesch. der Ned. 0. I. bezittingen 1839-—'2. 
Botanie: nomen nudum?", but I fail to find this binomial mention- 
ed anywhere in this work. 

Maximowicz (1886) cites Forbes s.n. and Wright s.n. from Hong- 
kong, Sampson s.n. from "pluribus locis" in Kwang Kwangtung ("prov. 
Canton"), and and "tum in Himalaya: Khasia! et Pendjab!" Forbes & 
Hemsley (1890) add a Champion s.n, from Hongkong and give the 
overall distribution of the species as "Sikkim, Khasia, and 
Jaintea mountains, India". Rehder (1916) cites C. Wright 380 and 
C. Ford s.n. from Hongkong and A. Henry 9412 & 9i12a and C. Schn- 
eider 3161 from Yiinnan, commenting "The Yunnan specimens agree 
with those from Hongkong except that the pubescence on the upper 
surface of the leaves is shorter and denser", P'ei (1932) cites 
for what he regards as the typical form of the species only Ford 
s.n., Wright s.n., and Chun 65), all from Hongkong, with the 


4,86 PHY TOLOG ZA Vol. 21, no. 7 


comment "Distribution: Formosa to Indo-China and reported from 
India and the Malay Archipelago. This differs from its allies by 
its obovate leaves which are sessile or subsessile and more or 
less cordate. Ovary glandular. Fruit 0.15 in diameter, densely 
pubescent when young. The species varies very much in its shape 
of leaves, length of peduncles and petioles." 

Lam (1919) cites the following specimens seen by him: GREATER 
SUNDA ISLANDS: Buton: Elbert 281). Java: Elbert 337 (Le--908 .267 
-11)1), s.n. [Nov. 1907] (Le--908 .267-11)2); Junghuhn s.n. [Unga- 
rang, Medinie] (Le--908.267-11)3). Sumatra: Korthals 5816. 

Van Houtte (1858) describes the history of the species as fol- 
lows: "C'est dans une des serres de notre collégue, M. Aug. van 
Geert, horticulteur en cette ville, que nous avons fait dessiner 
et peindre le modéle qui a servi a ’ exécuter la planche ci-contre. 
Introduit en Angleterre par M. Standish, le Dr. Lindley suppose 
qu'il provient de l'un des voyages qu'a  faits en Chine le céiébre 
voyageur, M. Fortune, auquel nous devons tant de reconnaissance 
pour le bien qu'il a fait A lthorticulteur} Dans ces derniers 
temps ne l'a-t-il pas presq'alimentée tout seul avec Lobb, en 
nous apportant de ces plantes impérissables, de ces végétaux fit 
for the million, dont on ne se lasse jamais et dont le commerce 
horticole tire tant de profit et les amateurs tant de jouissances 
vives et incessantes} 

"Nous reproduisons aussi, comme pendant a notre dessin celui 
qu'en a donné le Gardeners' Chronicle. Mais cette plante, connue 
dans le commerce sous le nom de Callicarpa purpurea et que nous 
figurons ici, ne serait pas l'espéce dont elle porte le NOM .ceces 
ce nom de purpurea est donc tout provisoire, et l'indication da 
se patrie nous fait aussi défaut; il efit été aisé cependant de 
s'en enquérir auprés de M. Standish, si tant est que celui-ci 
s'inquiéte de ces bagatelles. 

"Quoi qu'il en soit, disons qu'ici la plante a gelé jusqu'a 
terre et qu'au printemps suivant elle a vigoureusement repoussé 
du pied, cela donne la mesure de son degré de rusticité. Donec, 
serre froide en Belgique, plein air, rusticité, plus au Sud. 
Fleurissant au commencement de 1'été, elle est couverte vers 
l'automne de ses trés nombreuses et irds jolies baies d'un lilas 
purpurin qu'elle conserve pendant tout l'hiver. -- Sa multiplica- 
tion par voie boutures, a défaut de graines, est des plus faciles." 

Masters (1859) gives this account: "No plant excited more in- 
terest at the last autumn meeting of the Horticultural Society in 
St. James's Hall, than a little shrub from Mr. Standish, of Bag- 
shot, loaded with the most beautiful shining deep violet berries. 
Few had seen such a species before, or suspected what it might be; 
the fact being that Callicarpa, the genus to which it belonged, 
has never before produced the beautiful fruit, from which its bo- 
tanical name has been formed. The accompanying figure will convey 
a good idea of its general appearance. 

"Not having seen the flowers or the old leaves, we are in some 
doubt to what species of Callicarpa it should be referred; and in 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 487 


selecting that called purpurea we by no means overlook the possi- 
bility of its proving botanically distinct. In the form of the 
leaves, and the proportional size of the clusters of berries, it 
agrees very well; but the hairiness is that of C. rubella, quite 
a different plant. But these Callicarpas certainly vary much in 
hairiness at different periods of growth and under different cir— 
cumstances. All that we can say for the present is that it seems 
to be a state of C. purpurea, the Porphyra dichotoma of Loureiro; 
but that it may possibly be the C. lasiantha, At all events it 
is a most interesting little greenhouse shrub, brought from China, 
we believe by Mr. Fortune. What makes it so extremely useful is 
that its berries retain their beautiful colour till long after 
Christmas. Some indeed now before us are as brilliant as they 
were in November."

Léveillé's orisinal (1911) description of this taxon is "Planta 
tota villosa; rami hispido glandulosi, brunnei; folia 8--9 x 3--\ 
em. fusco-viridia, subtus pallidiora, oblonga, caudato-acuminata, 
ad basin cordata, subsessilia crenata; nervis aliis patentibus 
elevatis, aliis rectis; flores corymbosi; pedunculi, pedicelli et 
calyces hispido-glandulosi; calyx urceolatus, vix crenatus; fruc- 
tus nigrescens, primum inclusus, opacus, glaber." 

P'ei comments (1932): "I have seen fragments of the type at 
the Arnold Arboretum. It appears to me to be closely related to 
Callicarpa longipes Dunn, the difference being the truncate calyx 
of Callicarpa Dielsii (Lévl.) P'ei while that of C. longipes Dunn. 
is toothed. iWhen more abundant material is available it may be 
that this species will be found to be the same as some of the 
Kwangtung forms of Callicarpa rubella Lindl." He describes his 
C. rubella var. hemsleyana f. subglabra as follows: "A type rece- 
dit foliis subglabribus, obovatolanceolatis, subcordatis ad rotun- 
datis, acuminatis. Chekiang: Chenchiong, 0 miles south of Sia- 
chu, Alt. 450 to 900 m., Ching 1760!, June 1924, 'Shrub, 6 feet 
tall, rare'. A shrub with subglabrous branchlets. Leaves obovate- 
lanceolate, serrate, acuminate, base subcordate to rounded, sub-

glabrous on both surfaces, densely glandular beneath, sparsely 
glandular above, 7 to 18 cm. long, 3 to 4.7 cm. wide, chartaceous, 
lateral nerves about 8 on each side of the midrib. Petioles not 
exceeding 3 mm. in length. Cymes glabrous, glandular; peduncles 
glabrous, about 2.5 cm. long, slender. Calyx glabrous, glandular’ 

The type of Viburnum dielsii was collected by Pierre Julien 
Cavalerie (no. 385) at Pin-fa, Kweichow, China, on September h, 
1902. Li (19) describes the taxon as "A glabrescent variety of 
the widely distributed species". Recent collectors describe it 
as a woody or semi-woody shrub, 1--2 m. tall, the leaves almost 
glabrous, the flowers fragrant, the corollas white, and the fruit 
yellow (when immature?) or black. It has been found growing in 
clay or sandy soil, along roadsides, at altitudes of 50--900 m., 
flowering in January, June to September, and November, and fruit- 
ing in July and August. While Ching calls it "rare" in Chekiang, 
Tsang refers to it as "fairly common scattered shrubs" in Kwangsi 
and "fairly common" in Kwangtung.

The original description of this taxon by Diels (1900) is 
"Foliis brevissime petiolatis demum supra sparse setulosis subtus 
glandulosis atque in nervis venisque sparse stellato-pilosis mar- 
gine crenato-serratis serraturis quam eis typi magis distinctis.

Aug.!). Sehr auffallend durch die ae Reduction des Indumentes 
(die in Sud-China sich tibrigens bereits anbahnt). Sonst von etwas 
starkerer Serratur abgesehen kaum vom Typus (HB.) verschieden." 
The collector here referred to is Baron A von Rosthorn and the 
type locality is in Szechuan; the year of collection was 1891. 

Rehder (1916) cites also Veitch Exped. 4318 from Szechuan and 
notes "This variety differs from the type of the species only in 
the slighter pubescence of the leaves and in their somewhat 
coarser serration. In ‘Wilson's specimen, however, the under sur— 
face of the leaves is much more densely pubescent than in Rost- 
horn's specimen, but their dentation is much coarser and very un- 
equal, the largest teeth being 6--8 mm. long and bearing from 1-- 
3 small teeth near their base; the leaves measure up to 18 cm. 
in length and to 10 cm. in width."

that the Chaffanjon 231, which he cites, is the type collection 
of C. panduriformis Léveillé and this taxon has been reduced to 

synonymy under C. longipes Dunn. P'ei comments in regard to C. 

rubella var. hemsleyana: "This variety differs from its type by 

its less pubescent leaves and longer peduncles", saying nothing 

about the serration of the leaf-margins. 

Recent collectors describe the plant as a small shrub, 1—2 m. 
tall, with yellow stamens, anc have found it growing in the shade 
of woods or in light woods and open thickets, at altitudes of 
500--900 meters, flowering from May to August, and fruiting in 
September and November. The corollas are described as ae

Since he has des ieneted no geccttie type, all his citations must 
be regarded as cotypes. 

The plant has also been collected along streamsides and a ver- 
nacular name for it is "lo hai ngan". The form is obviously very 
similar to C. formosana Rolfe and I am not convinced that it is 
really a form of C. rubella. It was reduced by Chang (1951)to C. 
pedunculata R. Br., to which he also reduces C, formosana. Tsang

My own observation, however, is that the leaf-blades are plain-

closely related to C. erioclona Schau.

Van Steenis (1967) describes this species as follows: "Affini-

consisting of simple and stellate hairs, sparsely on the leaf, 
densely and browmish on the stem and cymes; undersurface of the 
leaves besides with fairly dense regularly interspersed, fine, pit- 
ted glands, on the auricled lobes also large nectarial glands. 
Leaves ovate- to elliptic-oblong, apex long-acuminate, base rounded 
and abruptly narrowed, equal-sided or unequal-sided, widened into

two auriculiform, bullate sacs 1 — 11/2 cm long} margin shortly 
dentate; blade proper c. 10--17 by 5--11 cm, in some specimens 
markedly anisophyllous; petiole 1/2 -- 1 1/2 em. Cymes fairly 
many-flowered, axillary on the old wood, c. 2 -——- 2 1/2 cm long. 
Flowers h-merous . Calyx outside densely and shortly brown stel- 
late-hairy, inside sparsely stellate-hairy, hypanthium in flower 
thicker upwards; fruit calyx more distinctly cup-shaped with 
minute teeth. Corolla tube twice as tong as the ); oblong blunt 
lobes, in total c. 71/2 mm long. Stamens not protruding, style 
slightly so. Ovary l-celled, each cell with 2 dissepiment- 
attached ovules. Fruit almost globular, c. mm 4, with scat- 
tered, yellow, pulverulent glands (as on the ovary), breaking up 
into 8 segmental pyrenes; pericarp withering; each pyrene contain- 
ing a small seed without endosperm and with 2 cotyledons ina 
small outer cavity; besides all pyrenes with an inner empty, air- 
filled cavity, obviously capable of floating." 

The type of this curious species was collected on a hillslope 
at Bt Iju, Ulu Arip, Balingian, at an altitude of 60 meters, Sara- 
wak (Sarawak Herb. 23637), and is deposited in the herbarium of 
the Rijksherbarium at Leiden. Van Steenis (1967) cites also 
Ashton $.18286, Hirano & Hotta 1113, LE. Wright $.23866, and Sara- 


waesomt pee: led | PU DATO AGE Raa — 


wak Herb. 23773 & : 23728, all from Sarawak. He comments "From the 
lowland to c. 450 m, on hill slopes, land slips along river, 
clayey or sandy-clay soils. Ashton noted of his specimens that 
branches are weak and sagging to the ground. The fruit is red or 
bright red, petals, stamens, and style white; all parts covered 
with rusty hairs." He also. remarks that "The species makes part 
of an assemblage of rusty-rough-haired species of Borneo and the 
Philippines. Its most remarkable feature is the sac-like auricles 
at the base of the blade, reminding exactly of those of some 
tropical American Melastomataceae belonging to the group of gen- 
era Tococa, lhiyrmedone, liaieta, Microphysca, and Calophysa, which 
have a similar formicarium. Of course, some other plants have 
glandular auricles, as Adenia, but these are much smaller and not 
ant-inhabited, like in ours. Thus it represents another example 
of convergence among formicaria (compare Beccari, Malesia 2: 23). 
In looking up some literature on the American genera mentioned a- 
bove I found that Gleason (in Pulle, Fl. Surin. 3, 1935, 235) re- 
marked that in Tococa guianensis 'formicaria are sometimes absent'; 
whether he means from some specimens or only occasionally from 
some leaves is not quite clear. Anyway, in this new Callicarpa 
all leaves possess these unique sacs. It is remarkable that the 
cauliflorous inflorescences (only collected by Ashton) differ 
markedly in structure from the axillary ones. This is also found 
in C, involucrata.....; they are hardly branched fascicles on 
knobs.....Affinity. Doubtless allied to C. havilandii (K. & G.) 

H. J. Lam, C. superposita lierr., C. barbata Hidl., C. fulvohirsuta 
Merr., all of Borneo; but the affinity affects also some Philippine 
species. The present occasion shows the need of a thorough revis-— 
ion of this sroup." 


1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 95 


The species is known to me only from the literature. It should 
be noted here, however, that if Van Steenis is correct in assign- 
ing this plant to the genus Callicarpa, it will be the first 
known species in the genus to have two ovules per ovary-cell and 
8 seeds in the 8-segmented pyrenes.

(1933) states that it is native to Khasia, India. Razi (1959) 
cites it as "ASSAM: Khasias" and claims that it is mentioned in 
Journ. Bot. Lond. 63: 406 (1925), but I fail to find it there; in 
fact, the pages do not go that high in that volume. Nothing is 
known to me of this taxon except what is said of it in the lit-

Recent collectors have found this plant growing near brooks, 
flowering and fruiting in August. The Acufia & Roig 16765, dis- 
tributed as C. shaferi, is actually the type collection of C. 
cubensis var. parviflora Moldenke. Cuesta 1017 and Ekman 11909 & 
17930, previously cited by me as anomalous C. shaferi, are also 
now better placed in C. cubensis var. parviflora. 

In all, 16 herbarium specimens of C. shaferi, including the 
type, and 10 mounted photographs has been examined by me.

In his original publication of this binomial Makino (1892) said 
merely "sp. nov. Tosamurasaki. Tosa: Iburi, Mt. Imano (T. Makino)". 
Since the name can be associated with a specimen, it is thus not a 
true nomen nudum but is what is called a hyponym in the original 
definition of that term. Makino validated the name in 190); by means 
of the following description: "A small tree; branchlets slender, 
pulvereo—pubescent with curved short mimte hairs, mixed with min-

Callicarpa yakusimensis Koidz. is given as a synonym of C. 
shikokiana by Hatusima (1951) and Ohwi (1965), but I regard Koid- 
zumi's name as belonging in the synonymy of C. japonica var. 
luxurians Rehd. Schneider (1911), in his discussion of what is 
now called C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch, says "Hier scheint sich 
C. Shikokiana Mak........aus Japan, prov. Tosa, anzuschliessen, 
die auch mr 5—8 m lange B[latt]-Stiehle hat, in den B[lattern] 
und sonst aber sich mehr C. japonica zu nahern. scheint ." 

Material of C. shikokiana has been misidentified and distrib- 
uted in herbaria under the name C. yakushimensis Koidz. On the 
other hand, the E. H. Wilson 6050, distributed as C. shikokiana, 
is actually Cc. oshimensis Hayata. 

In all, 2 herbarium specimens of C. shikokiana have been ex- 
amined by me, reel ae

branchlets erect-patent, rather thinly (but denser towards the top) 
adpressedly covered with stellate hairs; bud densely covered with

obovato-oblong, elliptical, but often ovato-elliptical in the in- 
ferior ones, abruptly caudato-acuminate at the apex, acute or ob- 
tuse at the base, serrate, chartaceous, shortly thin-puberulent 
and minutely thin-granulato-glandular above, sparingly stellato- 
hairy and minutely granulato-glandular beneath, 2 1/2 — 11 cm. 
long, 11/2 — 3 3/h cm. broad; midrib prominent beneath; veins 
about 5--8 on each side, erect-patent, somewhat arcuate upwards; 
veinlets finely reticulated beneath; petiole rather thinly cov- 
ered with stellate hairs, 4--11 mm. long. Cymes axillary, small, 
much shorter than the leaves but exceeding the petiole, many and 
densely flowered, peduncled; peduncle strict, usually longer than 
the petiole, densely or thinly covered with stellate hairs, at- 
taining about 10 mm. long in flower; branches and pedicels short, 
thinly covered with simple forked and stellate patent hairs; 
bracts minute, linear, obtuse, ciliated, deciduous, very rarey 
leafy and about 1 cm. long; bracteoles usually shorter than the 
pedicels. Flowers small, lilac; pedicel shorter than the flower. 
Calyx short-campanulate, -fid with obtuse sinuses, viridescent, 
thinly pubescent and ciliated with simple forked and stellate pa- 
tent hairs, dispersed with mimute granular glands, about 2 m, 
long in flower, persistent and slightly enlarged in fruit; lobes 
deltoid, subobtuse. Corolla exserted, scarcely longer than 
twice of the calyx, dispersed with minute granular glands exter- 
nally; limb patent, -fid; lobes orbicular; tube campanulate, 
longer than the limb. Stamens , exserted, erect, inserted at 
the base of the corolla-tube; anther rather large, lato-oblong, 
bifid at the base, nearly 2 m. long, covered with minute granu- 
lar glands towards the connective on both sides; filaments fili- 
form, glabrous. Style erect, exceeding the stamens in height, 
filiform, gradually enlarged above, glabrous; stigma thickish, 
obliquely truncate; ovary globular. Fruit violet, globose, 
smooth, 4-6 mm. across, more or less exceeding the persistent 
hirtello-pubescent calyx; pyrenae oblong, compressed, hardly 
curved, smooth, stramineous, about 3 m. long. Nom. Jap. Inu-

"Probably a hybrid between Callicarpa japonica Thunb. and C. 
mollis Sieb,. et Zucc., and the plant in the Botanic Garden of 
the University of Tokyo is the only living specimen hitherto 
known. It differs from C. japonica Thunb., which has the thinner 
and glabrescent leaves and shallowly lobed calyx; and from C. 
mollis Sieb. et Zucc., which bears the more densely hairy leaves, 
more deeply lobed and more hairy calyx, larger flower, and fewer- 
flowered cyme." 

Nakai (1938) adds"This plant is an hybrid between Callicarpa 
japonica and Callicarpa mollis with the characters of the former 
more predominated. The Korean specimens bear the leaves like 
those of Callicarpa japonica f. rhombifolia". He cites Nakai 


500 PHY TOL 0 G2 A Vol. 21, no. 7 


12078 from Kait6 Island, Korea. Li (1963) says of the hybrid "It 
occurs naturally around Tokyo (Nakai 1922). It has elliptic to 
ovate-lanceolate or ovate-oblong leaves which are serrate along 
the margins and sparingly fasciculate-pubescent and glandular be- 
neath. The calyx is distinctly lobed and the flowers lilac in 
color. A small plant of this hybrid is represented in the Morris 
Arboretum collection." 

Schneider (1911) says "Nach Makino.....hat Shirasawa keine 
typische mollis abgebildet, sondern wahrscheinlich eine mollis x 
japonica, “die Makino als C. Shirasawana beschreibt. Doch sind 
die Bl[utter]-Unterschiede gegen mollis gering, diese ist noch 
reicher beh[{aart] und der K[elch] noch tiefer geteilt." 

In my 1936 work I followed Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) and 
reduced xC. shirasawana to synonymy under typical C. Japonica 
Thunb. because specimens seen by me up to that time so labeled in 
herbaria and taken from horticultural material seemed indistin- 
guishable from typical C. japonica. Apparently these specimens 
were misidentifications._ 

It should be noted here that the C. mollis accredited to Koor- 
ders in the synonymy given above is actually a synonym of C. 
caudata Maxim., that of Matsumura is C. oshimensis var. okina- 
wensis (Nakai) Hatus., that of Requien and of Willdenow is C. 
acuminata H.B.K., and that of Siebold & Zuccarini is a valid spe- 
cies. 

The hybrid has been found in the wild state -- contrary to 
Makino's statement — at 300 meters altitude, flowering in June, 
and the common names "“inu-murasaki" and "inu-murasakisikibu" are 
recorded for it, in addition to the variant listed by Makino. 
Bean (1951) states that it was introduced into the horticultural 
trade in 1895, but on what he bases this statement is not clear. 

The W. R. Sykes 4/65, distributed as xC. shirasawana, is actu- 
ally only C. =a Thunb. 

Thus far only a single herbarium specimen undoubtedly repre- 
senting this hybrid has been seen by me.

This fine monographic study has had a long gestation: con— 
ceived by an American Phytopathological Society Symposium at 
Miami in 1965, prefaced in 1967, dated by Library of Congress 
Catalog card 1969, copyrighted 1970, and published 1971. Its 
main well-fulfilled goals are "(1) to bring together and inte- 
grate all of the available information on R. solani [specific 
epithet capitalized on p. 199] in all of its various aspects, 
and (2) to compile a literature list that, directly or indirect— 
ly, provides access to all of the important works [more than 
1,000 references, only 2 as late as 1968, so that]....any worker 
needing information or contemplating research on R. solani can 
start with this volume, knowing that the literature has been 
thoroughly reviewed." 

Part I covers a century of historical survey, taxonomy of the 
imperfect and perfect (basidiomycete Thanatephorus cucumeris 
(Frank) Donk) stages, morphology and cytology, and asexual and 
parasexual recombination, mutation and heterokaryosis mechanisms 
of variation in this "fungus that occurs throughout most, if not 
all,of the world's land mass." 

Part II deals with the physiology, metabolism, colonization 
and soil growth of this organism as a saprophyte. 

Part III deals with all phases as a pathogen -- the diseases, 
penetration, epidemiology and control. R. solani "probably 
causes more different types of diseases to a wider variety of 
plants over a larger part of the world and under more diverse 
environmental conditions, than any other plant—pathogen 
species." 

There are many excellent line drawings and photographs es- 
pecially of ultrastructures, cultures and pathological effects. 
The work is well indexed.

The detecting and characterizing of many agricultural and

face have recently been revolutionized by the remote sensing 
techniques using "the ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and micro-

wave regions of the electrpmagnetic spectrum to collect data that 
give a measure of the reflectance, emittance, dialectric constant, 
surface geometry, and equivalent black~body temperature of plants, 
soils, and water". These data will permit (a) identification and 
area measurements of the major agricultural crop types; (b) map- 
ping of soil and water temperatures; (c) mapping of surface water, 
including snowpack; (d) mapping of disease and insect invasions; 
(e) mapping of gross forest types; (f) mapping of forest-fire 
boundaries; (g) assessment of crop and timber-stand vigor; (h) de- 
termination of soil characteristics and soil moisture consition; 
(i) delineation of rangeland productivity; (j) mapping of areas 
of high potential forest-fire hazard; and (k) mapping of major 
soil boundaries. 

There are papers by several different scientists working in 
this nascent field, each with its om bibliography. The statis- 
tical problems are in themselves difficult, but are presented 
with clarity. The present and future research needs are mind- 
staggering. The illustrations consist of copious charts and won- 
derful photographs, many aerial and often in color. This book 
will surely be the definitive one in the field for a while, yet 
it has no general index.
