Notes
Quercus molucca RUMPH. ex L. 1753 may belong here, but the original description and figure are not recognizable, the later name glutinosa is here accepted.
In his original description of Quercus glutinosa, BLUME mentioned Java as the type locality. In the Rijksherbarium (Leyden) there are 3 specimens which seem to be duplicates of one collection, bearing 2 different labels and localities. Two of these specimens (H.L.B. 901.310-309 and 310) were inscribed by BLUME as Quercus glutinosa and said to be from Java, and the third (901.310-380) bears REINWARDT'S original green label with Tondano (N. Celebes) as the locality and is dated October 1821. As BLUME never was in Celebes, and no other collections confirm his record of Quercus glutinosa from Java, it is concluded that two of REINWARDT’S specimens were mislabelled and that all came from Celebes, where L. glutinosus has repeatedly been collected by KOORDERS, EYMA, and others.
