The plant in the collection of C. Hose 751 is somewhat stouter as hitherto known, with the leaf blade ca. 20 by 17.5 cm and the male peduncle ca. 15 cm long. Female flowers of this species are still not known. (2) RE-DESCRIPTION OF TRICHOSANTHES CELEBICA Cogn. When conceiving T. celebica Cogn. (1881: 385) for the revision of Trichosanthes (Rugayah, 1999; de Wilde & Duyfjes, 2010), it was assumed that the following four collections from E. Sulawesi: Beccari 51 (type, consisting of a male specimen and one fruit), Kjellberg 1212 (male, BO, S, not seen by de Wilde at the time, though recently we could examine and identify the S-duplicate as T. tricuspidata Lour.), de Vogel 6136 (fruit), and de Wilde & Duyfjes 21903 (sterile), and one from Buru: Nooteboom 5275 (sterile) all belonged to that species. With recent molecular sequencing of the collection of de Vogel 6136, as part of a larger molecular analysis of the whole genus Trichosanthes (Hugo de Boer, Uppsala, in INTRODUCTION Since the overall revision of Trichosanthes in Malesia (Rugayah & de Wilde, 1999; Rugayah, 1999; de Wilde & Duyfjes, 2010) some novelties have emerged and are described below. It concerns (1) a correction of the description of the male sepals of T. obscura Rugayah (Borneo), (2) the re- description of T. celebica Cogn. (Sulawesi), (3) the description of a new species, T. pedicellata W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes (Sulawesi), (4) the description of a new variety of T. edulis Rugayah: var. punctata W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes (Philippines), and (5) some notes on incomplete material of an undescribed, unidentified species of Trichosanthes (New Guinea). (1) THE SEPALS OF THE MALE FLOWERS OF TRICHOSANTHES OBSCURA Rugayah (REINWARDTIA 11 (1999) 269). Through an old collection (C. Hose 751 (K)), Sarawak, erroneously annotated as collected in North Sulawesi which had at the time escaped from our attention it now became evident that the male sepals of T. obscura are distinctly narrowly lobed (Fig. 1). They were previously described (Rugayah & de Wilde, 1999; de Wilde & Duyfjes, 2010) as TRICHOSANTHES (CUCURBITACEAE) IN MALESIA: ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS, INCLUDING A NEW SPECIES AND A NEW VARIETY Received September 7, 2010; accepted June 14, 2011 W.J.J.O.

REINWARDTIA 222 [VOL.13 preparation), this plant came located in the provisional cladograms wide apart from those of the group to which T. celebica and close relatives like T. elmeri Merr., T. wawrae Cogn., and T. papuana F.M. Bailey belong. de Vogel 6136 appeared to link up with species from New Guinea, at present grouped in section Edulis Rugayah. This prompted us to re-examine the specimen morphologically and also to see the type of T. celebica (FI) again. We concluded that the collection of de Vogel 6136 is quite different in many details, e.g. in its leaf blade glands and seeds and further on it is described as the new species T. pedicellata. Most likely here also belongs Nooteboom 5275 from Buru. Fig. 1. Trichosanthes obscura Rugayah. a.

Drawn by Jan van Os (L). 2012] 223 DE WILDE & DUYFJES: Trichosanthes (Cucurbitaceae) in Malesia The description of the new species implies that the hitherto accepted description of T. celebica (Rugayah, 1999; de Wilde & Duyfjes, 2010) should be amended, excluding de Vogel 6136, Nooteboom 5275, and Kjellberg 1212. TRICHOSANTHES CELEBICA Cogn. (1881) 385; Rugayah & de Wilde (1999) 251, p.p.; Rugayah (1999) 99, p.p., pl. 5a; de Wilde & Duyfjes (2010) 260, p.p. — Type: Beccari 51 (holo FI), SE Sulawesi, near Kendari, Lepo-Lepo. ―Fig. 2c, d. Climber to 10 m long, early glabrescent, at first with sparse minute hairs, leafy stem 1.5–3 mm diam.; monoecious or dioecious. Probract fine- hairy, ovate, 3–6 by 3–4 mm, glands present. Tendrils unbranched (or 2-branched). Leaves petiole 2–4 cm long; petiolules 0.3–0.8 cm long; blade green on drying, chartaceous or membranous, simple and unlobed or 3-foliolate; unlobed blade in outline ovate-oblong or subhastate, 10–18 by 5–8.5 cm, foliolate blade in outline circular, 15–20 cm diam., middle leaflet 10–15 by 3–5(–7) cm, base cuneate, faintly scabrous above, with dense in- conspicuous cystoliths, glands (several or) numerous, scattered, 0.5(–1) mm diam., margin entire or sparsely minutely dentate; unlobed blades with 3(–5) curved basal veins, leaflets pinniveined. Male raceme minutely rust-hairy; peduncle 2.5–4 cm long, ca. 3 mm thick; rachis somewhat thickened, with bract-scars, 5–11 cm long, 8–15- flowered; bracts subpersistent, oblong-lanceolate, 15–25 mm long, fine-hairy, base attenuate, 3–5- nerved, apex deeply incised, with glands. Male flowers (from buds): pedicel 1–2(–3) mm long; buds fine-hairy; sepals narrowly triangular, 6–7 mm long, entire. Female flowers not known. Fruit rip- ening red (possibly no paler striped), ovoid, ca. 9 by 6 cm (see Note 1); fruiting pedicel possibly ca. 2 cm long, ca. 3 mm thick. Seeds pale or dark brown, obliquely (narrowly) ovate or elliptic, much compressed, 12–13 by 6–7 by 2–2.5 mm, smooth, margin absent, edge entire. Distribution. SE Sulawesi (Kendari). Habitat & Ecology. Open areas in secondary forest or disturbed primary forest, at low altitudes; male flowering and fruiting in July. Specimens seen. Beccari 51 (♂ fl., fr.); de Wilde & Duyfjes 21903, 21909 (both sterile). Notes. 1. The type material (FI), consists of two sheets. One sheet bears a leafy stem with simple tendrils and male inflorescences (flowers in bud) and, on the same stem possibly a ca. 2 cm long fruiting pedicel, but the fruit itself is lacking, however described by Cogniaux, l.c., as red, longitudinally striped, 9 by 6 cm, muricate, with the seeds embedded in green-black pulp. The other sheet bears a leafy twig with male inflorescences and an envelope with seeds. We do not believe that the fruit was muricate. We found only unbranched tendrils in the material. 2. Trichosanthes celebica is obviously close to T. wawrae and T. elmeri, both species differing from the first in broader seeds. 3. Trichosanthes celebica as here circumscribed differs from the description in Rugayah & de Wilde (1999), Rugayah (1999), and de Wilde & Duyfjes (2010) in the exclusion of the specimens Kjellberg 1212, de Vogel 6136 and Nooteboom 5275, of which the latter two collections belong to a new species (see below).

A Trichosanthidi celebicae fructibus minoribus ca. 6.5 cm longis, pedicello in fructu longiore 5.5–7 cm longo, seminibus minoribus 9–10 mm longis differt. — Typus: De Vogel 6136 (holo L; iso L), Sulawesi, Lake Matano. Fig. 2a, b. Climber 5–8 m long, early glabrescent, at first with minute hairs especially at the nodes and apex of petioles, leafy stem 2–3 mm diam.; dioecious. Probract not obvious. Tendrils unbranched. Leaves petiole 2.5–3.5 cm long; blade green on drying, sub- chartaceous or membranous, simple, unlobed or shallowly or irregularly few-lobed at base; blade in outline ovate-oblong or subhastate, 10–20 by 7– 10.5 cm, base widely cordate, faintly scabrous with very numerous flat concolorous cystoliths above, blade glands absent or 1–3 at base, 0.5(–1) mm diam., margin entire or sparsely minutely dentate; basal veins 3(–5) curved towards apex. Male raceme and female flowers not known. Fruit solitary, ripening red (possibly not paler striped), ovoid, 6.5 by 4.5 cm, apex ca. 2 mm beaked; exocarp thick-leathery, smooth; dry pericarp ca. 5 mm thick; pulp not recorded but possibly greenish black; fruiting pedicel 5.5–7 cm long, 3–4 mm REINWARDTIA 224 [VOL.13 Fig. 2.

Distribution. Sulawesi: Lake Matano area, and possibly Moluccas (NW Buru, Nooteboom 5275, sterile). Habitat & Ecology. Solitary climber in disturbed primary forest on alluvial flat, deep hard red clayey soil derived from conglomerate bedrock; 400 m altitude. Fruiting in July. Notes. 1. Trichosanthes pedicellata differs from T. celebica in the aspect of its leaves with very crowded numerous cystoliths on the upper surface and without or with only few glands at the base, and in its smaller fruit with smaller and thicker seeds and with a longer fruiting pedicel. In T. celebica the cystoliths are fewer and barely visible, the blade glands numerous and scattered all over the blade, the fruit larger with larger much flattened seeds, and the fruiting pedicel is shorter (see Fig. 2). 2. According to molecular studies by de Boer (mentioned above), T. pedicellata rather belongs to the New Guinean section Edulis, but the seed in that section is different: more angular in shape, more flattened and often truncate or emarginate at one end. (4) A NEW VARIETY IN TRICHOSANTHES EDULIS, THE TYPE SPECIES OF TRICHOSANTHES SECTION EDULIS Rugayah To date it was assumed that Trichosanthes sect. Edulis, with 8 species, was confined to New Guinea (Rugayah, 1999; de Wilde & Duyfjes, 2010). However, a recent accession from the Philippines, Luzon, Barbon, Romero & Fuentes PPI 13044, clearly belongs to this section. It consists of a leafy twig-portion with an unusual long-peduncled immature male inflorescence, obviously most closely resembling T. edulis. The discovery of PPI 13044 means a large range extension of the species T. edulis, as well as a remarkable one of the section Edulis, now also known as occurring in the Philippines. The specimen may represent a new species, but for assessing this more complete material is necessary. As for the present, however, the species is sufficiently resembling T. edulis (with 3 varieties in New Guinea) to describe it as a new fourth variety. Trichosanthes edulis Rugayah var. punctata W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, var. nov. ― Fig. 3. A Trichosantidis edulis varietatibus omnibus foliis abaxialiter glandulis punctatis atrobrunneis minutis, pedunculo masculo longo ca. 25 cm longo differt. — Typus: Barbon, Romero & Fuentes PPI 13044, 05 July 1994 (holo L; iso PNH, not seen), Philippines, Luzon. Plant subglabrous, except finely hairy male peduncle and woolly hairy male bracts. Probract narrowly ovate, ca. 7 mm long, acute. Tendrils 2- branched. Leaves petiole 4.5–6 cm long; blade dry- ing brown-greenish, simple, 3-lobed to nearly half- way, ca. 20 by 17 cm, abaxially coarsely reticulately veined and with numerous dark brown dots (gland hairs?), blade glands absent or a single one at very blade-base, ca. 1 mm diam., margin entire. Male inflorescence: peduncle ca. 25 cm long, male bracts broadly elliptic or ovate, ca. 20 by 20 mm, densely brown woolly hairy, hairs ca. 1 mm long, margin shallowly dentate-crenulate in lower half, apex subacute or bluntish. Male and female flowers and fruit not known. Distribution. Philippines: Luzon, Isabela Province, where only known from the type. Habitat & Ecology. In secondary disturbed forest on loam, at 200 m altitude. Flowering (buds): July. (5) UNIDENTIFIED SPECIMENS The section Edulis seems one of the best defined sections of Trichosanthes, however, far from completely known, as testified by two un- named collections obviously representing new species in this section but waiting for additional material to be described formally. It concerns: (1) Eyma 5123, from West Papua, Wissel Lakes (at the base of Boebeiro and Enarotali, at 1750 m altitude), previously (Rugayah & de Wilde, 1999; Rugayah, 1999) discussed under T. densiflora Rugayah. Fig. 4a. (2) Johns & Hidayat 10385, from West Papua, above Freeport, collected at 2780 m, cannot be matched with any of the species described for the section but likely belongs here because of its general leaf shape and distribution. The collection bears immature fruit with an unusual long fruiting pedicel, 5–6 cm long, a character which it shares with T. pedicellata (from Sulawesi, see above), and also the leaf shape of both species is resembling, but the seed of T. pedicellata does not fit into those of section Edulis (Fig. 4b). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The curators of BO, FI, L, and S are acknowledged for allowing us to study material of Trichosanthes. Jan van Os (L) made the beautiful drawings, Ben Kieft (L) scanned the drawings, and Jan Frits Veldkamp (L) translated the diagnoses of the new taxa into Latin. REINWARDTIA 226 [VOL.13 Fig. 3.
