SLEUMER* SUMMARY In this revision of the Malaysian species of the genus Gaultheria Kalm ex L. 24 species and 9 varieties resp. forms are recognized. Among the new taxa described are 9 species and 1 variety. The localities of the revised material are given in detail. An index to specimens is added. Although our knowledge of the genus Gaultheria has increased con- siderably in the last 25 years by the description of numerous new species, by local floras and partial revisions, limited to certain phytogeographic areas or to some natural groups of species, no general treatment has been undertaken, since De Candolle in 1839 enumerated the 43 species known at the time in the 'Prodromus'. Airy-Shaw published in 1940 a 'Classification of the Asiatic species of Gaultheria', which includes a few Malaysian and North Ame- rican species. He designates 5 sections (incl. 3 series), and gives keys to the species of the smaller units. After having studied all the Malaysian, Asiatic, and Australian species of Gaultheria, to get a view on their mutual relationships, I tried to extend Airy-Shaw's classification to the Gaultherias of Malaysia and Australia. Soon it became apparent, that his system has a weak spot in the sect. Gymnobotrys (G. leucocarpa Bl. and its allies) with so called 'eperulate' inflorescences, a character which does not exist in a proper sense, as the perulae may be reduced in number and size or are so early caducous, that they are practically absent at flowering time. Also in other characters the connection of G. leucocarpa Bl. with the sect. Leucothoides Airy-Shaw (containing the bulk of the Asiatic species) is so narrow, that a distinction of these two sections, which comprise the majority of the Malaysian Gaultherias, becomes uncertain. It is clear, that a general system of Gaultheria can only be reached by a thorough knowledge of all species of the genus. To work out such system goes beyond the scope of my actual work, and it is for that * Flora Malesiana Foundation, Leyden. . — 163 — 164 R E I N W A R D T I A [VOL. 4 1957] H. SLEUMEK: Gouts Gaultheria reason, that I have omitted to give any classification into natural units here, which would be fragmentary and premature only. Working further with the genus, which has attracted me since many years, I hope to be able to publish a complete system in a future paper. The present work gives the basis of my treatment of Gaultheria, to appear later in the Flora Malesiana where descriptions of all species in English language will be included; it offers a key to the species, the Latin descriptions of the new7 taxa., and the localities of all species, taken from a large number of herbarium specimens, which have been at my disposal through the courtesy of the Directors of the following Institutions: Arnold Arboretum (A) Bogor (BO) Brisbane (BRI) Florence (FI) Gray Herbarium (Gil) Kepong (KEP) Leiden (L) The material preserved in British Museum (BM) Edinburgh (E) has been studied during a stay Lae (LAE) Melbourne (MEL) New York (NY) Manila (PNH) Stockholm (S) Kuching (SAR) Singapore (SING) Utrecht (U) Kew (K) Paris (P) in these herbaria.

LEUCOCARPA Gaultheria leucocarpa Bl. with white fruits occurs in Java in two forms, one with completely glabrous, the other with densely short-pilose inflorescences. These forms, as far as can be judged from herbarium specimens at hand, seem to exclude each other in most of the places where they have been found, and no intermediates have been observed. It seems therefore desirable to distinguish two forms taxonomically, as J. J. Smith and Hochreutiner did before. Blume attached the name G. leucocarpa to both forms in the herba- rium ; his very short description does not mention any pubescence. There- fore the glabrous form has been chosen by me as the type from Blume's type-material in the Leyden Herbarium. This 'typical' form with glabrous inflorescences and white fruits seems not to occur in the Malay Peninsula, from where the collectors only mention dark fruits; in cases where no fruit colour is stated on the labels, the fruits are dark when dry. Specimens from Malay Peninsula which bear glabrous inflorescences but no fruits, therefore are listed under f. cumingiana. For Sumatra and Java, however, all specimens having gla- brous inflorescences but no fruits, or without the indication of the colour of the fruit on the labels, are enumerated under f. leucocarpa; it is possible that a part of them belongs to f. cumingiana.

In the specimens from China, Formosa, and the Philippines the leaves are mostly less deeply serrate-crenulate than in those from Tonkin, Siam, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Bali. Also in a part of the specimens from China the leaves are less ovate resp. less cordate than in the proper Malaysian ones. In the essential characters, however, there are no differences between the materials cited above under /. cumingiana. Gaultheria crenulata Kurz, described from Yunnan, has been con- sidered by various authors to occur in Malaysia; apparently belonging to G. leucocarpa Bl. in a broad sense and probably better merged in it as a var., G. crenulata Kurz is different from all Malaysian varieties and forms of G. leucocarpa in its indument-characters. 22d. f.

The f. scandens which combines pubescent inflorescences with white fruits, seems not to occur in the Malay Peninsula, as in all specimens of that region, where the inflorescences are pubescent, the fruits are dark red, resp. reported to be dark red on the labels by the collectors. Specimens from the Malay Peninsula with pubescent inflorescences, bearing no- fruits, therefore are recorded under f. melanocarpa. For Sumatra and Java, however, all specimens with pubescent inflorescences, and no indication of the fruit colour, are enumerated under f. scandens; it is probable, that some of them belong to f. melanocarpa, especially from localities for which the latter is; known. Of G. bandongensis and G. leucocarpa var. seminuda the fruits are unknown, and therefore no decision is possible at the moment, whether the material, on which these names are based, belong either to f. scandens or to f. melanocarpa., before new and complete material is collected in the correspondent type localities. The long spreading bristle-like hairs on the lowest parts of the specimens described as var. seminuda indicate a juvenile state of these plants; the same hairs have been observed on young specimens from Java and the Philippines. The name 'Gaultheria bandongensis' is attached to Zollinger 2841 x, 'ex pr. Bandong' in Zollinger, Syst. Verz. 2:138.1854, without a description; specimens of 2841 x, named G. bandongensis by Zollinger himself, have been seen by me from the Paris Herbarium and from the Arnold Arbore- tum ; they have densely pubescent inflorescences, but no fruits and belong to f. scandens. (or possibly f. melanocarpa). The plant described by Miquel in Fl. Bat. 2: 1056. 1859 as G. bandongensis Zoll. with 'in Bandong' as locality, is preserved in. the Utrecht Herbarium and completely identical with the above mentioned material; the label, however, bears no Zollinger collector's number. Zollinger 2841 (without V ) , in Zollinger's Syst. Verz. is said to be collected 'inter rupes ad rivulum (Sungi) pait, Idjen, 500 ft.'. Apparently the material of this number has been collected in different localities. The specimen of 'Zollinger Herbarium venale 2841' in the Leyden Herbarium bears the label 'G. bandongensis! In decliv. Sungi pait ad M. Widodaren, bacca nigra, 22—X—58'. This specimen is completely glabrous. Another specimen of Zollinger 2841 in the Bogor Herbarium states in Zollinger's handwriting 'G. leucocarpa. Bacca nigra, ad-ripas rivularom montosis Idjen, ± 4000 ft., 30-4-45.' Other speci- 182 R E I N W A R D T I A [VOL. 4 mens of Zollinger 2841 in various herbaria are labelled 'G. leucocarpa', without locality.

M. in Trans. R. Soc. Viet. 1 (2) : 21. 1889, in text. F. van Mueller says on p. 21: "G. blumei (Vaccinium microphyllucm Bl. Bijdr. 851) has according to the notes of Beccari and Clarke somewhat larger and blunter leaves, seemingly never racemous flowers, blunter calyx lobes, again tubulated anthers, and may differ in further characteristics." Although F. van Mueller gives Vaccinium microphyllum Bl. as a basio- nym of Gaultheria blumei, which thus, in a strict and formal sense, becomes a superfluous name of Blume's species, we might, of course, con- clude from the added text, that F. v. Mueller means Blume's species in the sense of Clarke in Hook, f., Fl. Br. Ind. 3: 458. 1882, the apparently only source of information for him. Unfortunately, Clarke has made a double mistake: the plant he describes under the name of Diplycosia microphylla "Becc." is not identical with Beccari's species, and Diplycosia microphylla Becc. is not based on Vaccinium microphyllum Bl., but has been described independently as a new species by Beccari. In the Kew Index G. blumei is considered a valid new name for Diplycosia microphylla 1957] H.

REINWARDTIA Published by Herbarium Bogoriense, Kebun Raya Indonesia Volume 4, Part 2, pp. 189 -191 (1957) A NOTE ON THE POLLEN OF WHITEODENDRON AND KJELL- BERGIODENDRON (MYRTACEAE) by KATHLEEN M. MCWHAE * (nee Pike) SUMMARY A description has been given of the pollen grains of Whiteodendron moultonianum and Kjellbergiodendron celebicum. After this the relation- ships of both are discussed. INTRODUCTION The pollen grains of many of the genera of the Myrtaceae were investigated and described by the present author (Pike 1956), but during this investigation material of the genera Whiteodendron and Kjellbergio- dendron was not available. Since the publication of this work Dr C.G.G.J. van Steenis of Leyden has very kindly supplied mature flower buds of Whiteodendron moultonianum (W. W. Sm.) Steen. and Kjellbergiodendron celebicum, (Koord.) Merr. and the purpose of this account is to record the results of the pollen examination of these additional genera. DESCRIPTION OF POLLEN GRAINS The pollen of both species studied conforms with that typical of the Myrtaceae. The grains are free, isopolar to slightly anisopolar, tricol- porate, angulaperturate and have a triangular amb. Whiteodendron moultonianum (W. W. Sm.) Steen. Sarawak, Beecari P.B. 879. Polar diameter range 5-7 µ, average 6 µ, equatorial diameter range 12-15 µ,, average 13 µ. Parasyncolpate, with conspicuous polar islands, Which are sometimes smaller at one pole than the other. Sides of amb straight to convex. Exine thin less than 1µ., pattern extremely faint, especially in the mesocolpia. Kjellbergiodendron celebicum (Koord.) Merr.
