Reinwardtia 12(2):129 – 133. — Kedrostis (Cucurbitaceae) occurs in Africa and Madagascar and comprises 4 (5) species in Asia. Of these 2 species are found in India and Sri Lanka and 2 (3) species in western Malesia. One Malesian species is for the first time included in Kedrostis here, Kedrostis bennettii (Miq.) W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, and one species is described as new here, Kedrostis hirta W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes. One more Malesian species is insufficiently known to be formally described.

Reinwardtia 12(2):129 – 133. — Kedrostis (Cucurbitaceae) ada di Afrika dan Madagaskar dan terdiri atas 4 (5) jenis ada di Asia. Dua jenis diantaranya ditemukan di India dan Sri Lanka dan 2 (3) jenis ada di Malesia bagian barat. Salah satu jenis dari Malesia yang pertama kali dimasukkan dalam Kedrostis, yaitu Kedrostis bennettii (Miq.) W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, dan satu jenis dipertelakan sebagai jenis baru disini, Kedrostis hirta W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes. Satu jenis lagi dari Malesia yang belum cukup untuk dapat dipertelakan secara resmi. Kata kunci: Kedrostis, Cucurbitaceae, Asia Tenggara, taksonomi INTRODUCTION Kedrostis Medik. is an Old World genus occurring in Africa and Madagascar with c. 20 species and in SE Asia with 5 species. In Asia the distribution is restricted to two separate areas: 2 species (of which K. foetidissima also in Africa) in S India and Sri Lanka and 3 (including one insufficiently known and not formally described species from Peninsular Malaysia) in West Malesia. The genus is notably absent from northern India, China and Indochina. The three West Malesian species are somewhat distinct from the Indian ones; they are stouter in habit, and in the widely distributed (but scattered) K. bennettii (Miq.) W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes the male inflorescences may grow into long spikes with ebracteate persistent pedicels. In all three species the fruit contains only 1 (or 2) seeds (in other species [of Kedrostis] usually more). Kedrostis bennettiii is offensively smelling when crushed, similar as is known for the Indian K. foetidissima (Jacq.) Cogn. Most of the older species were originally described in other genera, until Cogniaux (1881, 1916). Later noteworthy treatments redefining the genus are by Jeffrey (1967) for East Africa and Keraudren (1966) for Madagascar. As in many more Cucurbitaceae, the material available for study is scanty and recent collections are often absent, the neglect possibly due to very local occurrence, destruction of habitat, short flowering period, and inconspicuous caducous flowers. The notion that the Asian genus Cerasio- carpum is identical with Kedrostis (described from Africa) was brought forward by C. Jeffrey (1962). However, Kedrostis courtallensis (from India and Sri Lanka) and Cerasiocarpum bennettii (from West Malesia) were not regarded as specifically different at the time. Therefore, the combination Kedrostis bennettii (Miq.) W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes is made on the present occasion. Of all species concerned, complete material has been studied only for Malesia, and only for the widespread K. bennettii was it sufficient to allow for a full description. The records of the occurrence of Kedrostis in New Guinea must be regarded as erroneous, as noted under K. bennettii. KEDROSTIS Medik. Kedrostis Medik. (1791) 69. — Type: S. Africa, K. africana (L.)

DISTRIBUTION. West Malesia (see notes): Sumatra, W & C Java:, Borneo (Sabah, E Kalimantan), Sulawesi. HABITAT & ECOLOGY. A rare species of scattered distribution on damp, rich soil, also known from near limestone; at altitudes (to 1400 m). NOTES. The records for New Guinea, far away from the species-area in West Malesia, are doubtful. Warburg (1891: 444) mentioned as doubtful a sterile collection from mountainous areas in Papua New Guinea. The same specimen was cited by Schumann & Lauterbach (1900: 590) and by Cogniaux (1916: 239) with the addition of Schlechter 18623, and by Harms (1925: 153) with the additional specimens Ledermann 11855 and 12208b (flowers pale yellow, at high altitudes). We have not seen any of these specimens (probably lost), and the species seems not to have been collected any more in New Guinea. We suspect, however, that the specimens discussed belong to a different genus, possibly Zehneria. SPECIMENS EXAMINED.

Malaya, Pahang, Ulu Krau, G. Benom Game Reserve. Known only from one collection, Rahim Ismail KEP 100114, from primary forest on hillside; fruiting in April. NOTE. This obviously distinct species is left unnamed because the flowers are unknown and the nature of the male inflorescence remains unclear. It is close to K. bennettii and K. hirta, especially in the similar globose seeds. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study has been based on material provided by the herbaria BO, K, L, SAN and SING and we thank the curators for permitting study of their specimens. We are grateful to the staff of the Bogor Herbarium for providing facilities during the time we worked there. The Latin diagnosis of the new species was made by J. F. Veldkamp.

INSTRUCTION TO AUTHORS Manuscripts intended for publication in Reinwardtia should be written either in English, French or German, and represent articles which have not been published in any other journal or proceedings. Each manuscript received will be considered and processed further if it is accompanied by signed statements given independently by two reviewers chosen by the author(s) attesting to its merits as well as its scientific suitability for publication in Reinwardtia. Two printed copies (on A4 paper) of the manuscript of not more than 200 pages should be sent to Editors, together with an electronic copy prepared on Word Processor computer programme using Times New Romance letter type and saved as Rich Text File must be submitted. For the style of presentation authors should follow the latest issue of Reinwardtia very closely. Title of the article should be followed by author's name and mailing address and a one-paragraphed abstract in English (with French or German abstract for papers in French or German) of not more than 250 words. Keywords should be given below each abstract. On a separate paper author(s) should prepare the preferred running title of the article submitted. Taxonomic keys should be prepared using the aligned-couplet type. Strict adherence to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature is observed, so that taxonomic and nomenclatural novelties should be clearly shown, Latin description for new taxon proposed should be provided, and the herbaria where type specimens are deposited should be indicated. Synonyms should be presented in the long form [name of taxon, author's name, year of publication, abbreviated journal or book title, volume (number): [page].
