Globe Fimbry

Description

The digynous plants, sometimes treated as a separate species (F. torresiana GAUDICH., F. utilis ELM.), cannot be segregated from the trigynous ones in a satisfactory way. Under culture is a stout, distigmatic race (clone-). I have not seen F. globulosa var. javanensis , and Iriha globulosa var. robusta . The former name, based on HANS WINKLER 1441 from Borneo, was apparently intended to distinguish the Malesian plants from those of Ceylon and India. For this distinction I do not see any reason. As to the latter name ("foliis basilaribus numerosissimis robustis rigidis. Java: Rauwa Ungia"), it is not clear whether it really belongs to F. globulosa.
