Horsfieldia tuberculata var. tuberculata
Distribution
Admiralty Is present, Asia-Tropical, Bismarck Arch present, Cape Vogel Peninsula present, Caroline Islands present, Palau I present, Papua New Guinea present, Papuan Is present, Solomon present
Solomon and possibly Caroline Islands (Palau I.); in Malesia: Papua New Guinea (Admiralty Is., Bismarck Arch., Papuan Is., Cape Vogel Peninsula).
Morphology
1 The size of flowers and fruits is variable, especially on the Solomon Islands.
2 In some collections (e.g. from Cape Vogel Peninsula) the pedicels of the male flowers are slender, and only slightly tapering; such specimens may easily key out wrongly. They probably represent a separate taxon as yet insufficiently defined. In general, the male buds of H. tuberculata approach those of H. laevigata.
