Cyrtandra rufa Bakh. f., Blumea

Cyrtandra rufa Bakh.f., Blumea 6: 398 (1950); Burtt, Edinburgh J. Bot. 56: 375 (1999). – Type: INDONESIA. Java, in de berg Mandara, Reinwardt s.n. (holotype L (2 sheets) [L0003276, L0003277]). Distribution. Java, possibly Borneo (Bakhuizen van den Brink, 1950; Burtt, 1999). Notes. When Bakhuizen described Cyrtandra rufa (Bakhuizen, 1950), in addition to selecting a type from Java he also cited two collections from Borneo. These were Korthals s.n. collections from ‘Borneo, without exact locality’. Later, when Burtt described Cyrtandra kalimantana (Burtt, 1999), he suggested that these two Korthals collections might actually be Cyrtandra kalimantana, although because they were sterile, it was difficult to be certain. Whether or not Cyrtandra rufa is present in Borneo will need to be considered as part of a full revision. Cyrtandra russa C.B.Clarke in A.DC. & C.DC., Monogr.
