16. Dalbergia kunstleri Prain View in CoL — Fig. 2e View Fig

Dalbergia kunstleri Prain (1897a) View in CoL 121; (1904) 104, t. 90; Ridl. (1922) 592. — Lectotype (here designated): King’s coll. 4736 (K K000555797 ), Peninsular Malaysia, Perak.

Dalbergia falcata Prain (1901) View in CoL 65;(1904) 104,t. 89;Sunarno & H.Ohashi (1997) 206, f. 5. — Lectotype (here designated): Beccari 4027 (K K000827987 ), Borneo , Sarawak, Bintulu.

Distribution — Peninsular Malaysia (Perak), Borneo.

Habitat & Ecology — Primary forest along rivers.Altitude up to 300. Soil: limestone. Flowering: January, April, September; fruiting: February, Augustus.

Notes — Prain based D. kunstleri on two specimens (King’s coll. 4736, 7067). In Kew King’s coll. 4736 was noted as ‘type specimen’, however, a lectotype should have been chosen. Here we select this collection as lectotype of D. kunstleri . Sunarno & Ohashi (1997) give Beccari 4027 as the type of D. falcata , however, they should have selected a lectotype. This is corrected here.

The differences between the Bornean D. falcata and the Malaysian D. kunstleri are very small. They are mainly found in some measurements. We think that these differences are too small to keep the species apart. Sunarno & Ohashi (1997) remarked that the flowers of D. falcata (Hose 578, BRUN 5556) are similar to the flowers described by Prain for D. kunstleri .
