Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

1. A new monotypic genus, Kalappia Kostermans, is established for a tree of commercial importance from Celebes, K. celebica Kostermans. The genus is assigned to Caesalpiniaceae (Tribus Cassiae). 2. The Papilionaceous genus Desmofischera Holth. (only species: D.monosperma Holth.) is reduced to a synonym of Monarthrocarpus Merr. [only species: M. securiformis (Benth.) Merr.]. Additional collections, from Morotai, are cited.
