AVICENNIA Linnaeus 



AVICENNIA ALBA Blume Bijdr. (1826) 821 var. ACUMINATISSIMA 

 var. nov. 



A type differt foliis angustioribus, longissime tenuiterque 

 acute acuminatis. 



The leaves are lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate, 7 to 10 cm 

 long, 1 to 2 cm wide, subequally narrowed at both ends, the apex 

 very long and slenderly subcaudate-acuminate, when young 

 minutely and densely cinereous-puberulent on the lower surface, 

 when mature, quite glabrous. 



Amboina, Liang, Rel. Robins. 1862, November 29, 1913, along the beach, 

 locally known as brappat and as mangi mangi. 



This peculiar form, which is apparently no more than a variety of 

 Avicennia alba Blume, although strongly characterized by its narrow, very 

 slenderly and sharply acuminate, ultimately quite glabrous leaves, is cer- 

 tainly not included by Rumphius in his description of Mangium album 

 (Avicennia officinalis Linn.)
