DELENDICKHerbarium, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10U58, V.S.A. *)ABSTRACTIt is shown that the legitimate and proper name for the maple ofMalesia is Acer laurinum Hasskarl.ABSTRAKDiperlihatkan bahwa nama yang sah dan tepat untuk ki kanadayang ada di Malesia adalah Acer laurinum Hasskarl.For quite some time the name to be used for the entire-leaved, ever-green species of Acer which occurs in Malesia was a matter for question,with A. javanicum Jungh., A. niveum BL, A. laurinum Hassk., A. curraniiMerr., A. philippinum Merr., and A. cassiaefolium Bl. being applied by-several authors dealing with that flora. When populations in South-east Asia and Hainan are considered as belonging to the Malesian taxon,another six epithets come under consideration. In the Flora Malesiana,A. niveum is the name indicated by Bloembergen (1948), but this wascorrected to A. laurinum by van Steenis (1954). Murray (1969) alsoconcluded that the oldest legitimate name is A. laurinum, and de Jong(1976) (who also recognizes A. garrettii Craib and A. machilifolium Hu& Cheng for mainland populations) concurs.In 1965, in a publication apparently overlooked by the above mono-graphers, Kostermans pointed out that Laurus caesia Reinwardt ex Blume(1826) from Indonesia is in fact an Acer and, further, that it representsthe same taxon hitherto known as A. laurinum! He therefore publishedthe new combination Acer caesium, (Reinwardt ex Blume) Kostermans,and indicated that it was the earliest available name. To date, A. caesium(Reinwardt ex Blume) Kostermans is hardly known in the botanicalliterature, having been adopted only by Whitmore (1973) in his TreeFlora of Malaya.* Present address: Herbarium, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, lOO© Washington Avenue,Brooklyn, New York 11225, U.S.A.CONTENTSPageHsu AN KENG.
