62. Menispermum glabrum sensu Houtt.,

Nat. Hist. II(11): Aanwyz. Plaat. [3], 377, tab. 75, fig. 2. 1779 [non M. glabrum Burm. f.].

= Stephania japonica var. discolor (Blume) Forman in Kew Bull. 11: 56. 1956.

Notes. – A specimen in the Java herbarium is in G-PREL [G00818094]. Diels identified it as Stephania hernandifolia (Willd.) Walp. FORMAN (1956: 51) cited this collection as S. japonica var. discolor . It is rather fragmentary and based on spirit material, and hardly matches the plate, in particular by the total absence of fruits. A specimen in the Thunberg herbarium (UPS-THUNB n° 23658) is probably a duplicate.

The holotype of Menispermum glabrum Burm. f. is Pryon s.n. (G-PREL [G00818095]) and represents material of Tinospora glabra (Burm. f.) Merr. A specimen without provenance is identified under that name in the Thunberg herbarium (UPS- THUNB n° 23657).
