Notes
1. For the specimens of var. kurzii , Prain (1897: 200, 479) distinctly cited Kurz's collection under Penang and stated that the only fruiting specimen of this variety 'has been obtained .... by Kurz alone'. Knaap-van Meeuwen (1970: 44) chose the type and cited it as 'Kurz s. n., loc. Govt. [as Gort.] Hill, Apl. 1890 (lectotype in CAL, no isotypes seen)' and also cited it under the distribution as from Burma. Kurz died in Penang in 1878 [cf. Fl. Males. I, 1, (1950) 305a]. The data on the locality and date as quoted above belong to a collection made by Curtis.
