Untitled REINWARDTIA Published by Herbarium Bogoriense, Kebun Raya Indonesia Volume 5, Part 3, p.p. 269-291 THE GENUS COELOSTEGIA*) Benth. (Bombac.) W. SOEGENG REKSODIHARDJO**) SUMMARY 1. The genus Coelostegia is confined to Western Malaysia: Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. 2. Five species (three of which, C. chartacea, C. kostermansii and C. neesiocarpa are new to science) are described. 3. A key to the species is presented. INTRODUCTION This paper presents a survey of the species of Coelostegia, a genus allied to Durio and Kostermansia, which I revised formerly, whereas my collegue Mr. Soepadmo is working up the genus Neesia which is also allied to Coelostegia. The alliance of these four genera is discussed. The genus Coelostegia is badly known for lack of material. Recently Dr. Kostermans collected in Borneo two new species of Coelos- tegia (of the total of 5), which means that they are rare or not easy to collect. Most Coelostegia species are very poorly represented in herbaria and definite conclusions about alliances have to be postponed. I have to thank the Directors of the Herbaria of Kepong, Leyden, Bogor and Singapore for their kindness to supply me with material. Furthermore many notes were put at my disposal by Dr. A. J. G. H. Kostermans, who took the trouble to study material of Coelostegia in many herbaria during his recent world tour. Dr. R. C. Bakhuizen van den Brink (Leiden) has kindly assisted me to compile the latin diagnoses. Dr. Kostermans went through the MSS and gave valuable suggestions. Messr. Sukirno and Damhuri prepared the drawings, for which I extend my thanks. *) From the Greek: koilos = hole, stege = roof; the flowers face downwards, the calyx suggests a roof with 5 cavities. **) Assistant Botanist, Herbarium Bogoriense, Bogor; h.t. student, Harvard Univ., Cambridge, U.S.A. — 269 — 270 R E I N W A R D T I A .

Wood mostly soft, light. Leaves alternate, simple, entire, penninerved, chartaceous to coriaceous, lower surface lepidote; petiole thickened at apex; stipules small, soon deciduous. Flowers small, 3—10 mm in diameter, in short lepidote panicles, axillary on young or older branches, peduncles usually much-branched, very rarely inconspicuous, pedicel short, filiform, bracts small, early caducous. Epicalyx a 3-lobed cup, chartaceous, persistent, outside lepidote, inside glabrous. Sepals 5, at base connate into a narrow, short tube, abruptly dilated into a 5-pouched cup (the lobes at this part being induplicate), apex free, tooth-like; outside lepidote, inside glabrous but for the papillose base of the pouches. Petals 5, triangular, somewhat fleshy, thickened at their middle, top acute, base truncate, with a very short, thin claw, inserted at or below the mouth of the (lower) calyx tube, soon deciduous. Stamens about 20, filaments short, fleshy, flattened, the ca 1/3 basal part connate into a tube, adnate to the calyx tube just below the insertion of the petals, upper part of filaments becoming free at different heights, each filament usually topped by 3 globose, 1-celled, agglutinate anthers, dehiscent, orbicular-elliptic, at first concave, later flat. Ovary globose or subobovoid, partly embedded in the calyx tube, 5-celled; each locule with few to several, subascending, biseriate ovules; outside den- sely lepidote; style filiform, pentangular, glabrous, protruding beyond the stamens; stigma conspicuous, peltate, discoid. Fruit capsular, globular, ellip- soid or ovoid, spiny or submuricate or more or less smooth, rather rough and glabrous inside, dehiscent on the tree for half of its length or more into 5, very hard, woody, erect valves. Seeds smooth, terete or compressed, elongate-obovoid, obtuse, base acute, carunculate, in two rows in each com- partment. Cotyledones flat, thin, foliaceous, covered by 2 flat-convex endo- sperm lobes which are slightly connected at base; testa rather thin; radicle Short. DISTRIBUTION. — Malaya, Sumatra, Borneo. The genus Coelostegia was first described by Bentham in Benth. et •Hook , f., Gen. PI. 1: 213. July 1862. In March 1862 Bentham had discussed and published the name Coelostegia (in J. Linn. Soc. Bot. 6: 123); he stressed that the genus was close to Boschia Griff. (= Durio Adans.) and Neesia Bl. 1960] SOEGENG: Coelostegia BENTH. 271 Beccari in 1889 (I.e. 271—272) described two new species: C. sumatrana and C. borneensis. He was the first who described the fruit and seed of Coelostegia. In 1875 Masters (in J. Linn. Soc. Bot. 14: 500) had included Beccarfs type specimen of C. borneensis into his Dw.no carinatus. Bakhuizen van den Brink Sr. revised the genus in 1924 (in Bull. Jard. bot. Buitenzorg 3, 6: 223). He incorporated Coelostegia sumatrana Becc. in C. griffithii Benth. Since Bakhuizen's time our collections of Coelostegia have increased little. Among the new specimens collected in Borneo 3 new species are represented. The most peculiar character of this genus is in the shape of the calyx and the subperigynous petals. The feeble attachment of the petals and the mucilaginous secretion causes the corolla to drop unopened. Bentham stated in his original description that the stamens should be adnate to the petals, but according to me the petals and stamens are attached to the calyx at different heights. King's contention that the fruit is hairy inside is certainly wrong, this character is typical for the related genus Neesia. Kostermans (in Communication, For. Res. Inst. Bogor no. 62: 2. 1958 and in Reinwardtia 4 (3): 361. 1958) discussed the status of Durio, Coelo- stegia and Neesia; according to him the differences between the three genera are not on the generic level. He stressed the resemblance between Coelostegia and Neesia and he suggested to combine the latter two genera. Kostermansia, Coelostegia and Neesia have similar embryos, consisting of two flat, foliaceous cotyledons, enclosed by 2 flat-convex lobes of endo- sperm. The seeds of Coelostegia and Neesia have a caruncula at their base; the seed of Kostermansia is devoid of an aril or caruncula. Kostermansia seems to be intermediate between Durio and Coelostegia. Coelostegia can be best distinguished from Neesia by the absence of pruriant hairs in the fruit of the former. There are also differences in the flowers, which are small with a 5-sepaled calyx and subperigynous petals in Coelostegia and a large monophyllous calyx and hypogynous petals in Neesia. The leaves of Neesia are mostly larger than those of Coelostegia, with parallel secondary nerves which are perpendicular to the primary (lateral) nerves; these parallel secondary nerves are absent in Coelostegia. Nothing is known of the cytology and pollen morphology of Coelostegia and Neesia. In the present state of our knowledge of this group, it is not advisable to combine Coelostegia and Neesia, as suggested by Kostermans. 212 REINWARDTIA [VOL. 5 As to the endosperm of Kostermansia, Coelostegia and Neesia, which consists of two lobes, slightly connate at base, Kostermans (orally) suggested that they might represent the true cotyledons and the inner two lobes (which in this paper are considered the cotyledons) might be primordial leaves.

Seed terete, lanceolate, ca 2.5 cm long, 1 cm in diameter, caruncula 1 cm long, red, fleshy, not very juicy. DISTRIBUTION. — Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Bangka. VERNAC. NAMES. — Punggai, Punggeh or Unggeh (Malay), Tembalun (Minangkabau), Regeum (Atjeh), Tongor (Batak-Toba), Durian hantu (hantu = phantom) or Durian Unggeh (Palembang), Durian hutan (Bangka), Man- darawan rangau (Indrapura). HABITAT. — Lowland, swampy or well drained forest, from sea-level up to 550 m altitude. USE. — The bark contains tannin which is used for tanning fish-nets; the timber is used for wooden clogs, boxes and also for house building. The fact that the petals are sometimes lepidote on the outside has been usually overlooked (cf. King). When Beccari published his Coelostegia sumatrana, he had not exa- mined the type specimen of C. griffithii. He misinterpreted Masters's rather poor drawing of the epicalyx of C. griffithii as having 5 lobes; according to me there are 4 lobes. In his description, moreover, Masters stated that the epicalyx should be 3—4-lobed. All specimens which I examined have a 3-lobed epicalyx. Bakhuizen van den Brink Sr. considered C. sumatrana conspecific with C. griffithii; later he described it as forma sumatrana. I agree with Bakhuizen in incorporating C. sumatrana into C. griffithii, but not in treating it as a distinct forma. The solitary flowers (or 2 flowers together) in contrast with many-flowered inflorescences is not a constant character; the specimen Korthals s.n. (L) has both types of inflorescences. A tree cultivated in the Bogor Economic Garden, flowers all the year round, bud it very rarely produces fruit; the fruit moreover does not seed and is small (10 cm in diameter) with abnormally slender spines. This is perhaps attributable to the absence of a pollinating agent in Java or pro- bably the plant is dioecious. M a l a y a .
