species, 
The tree known as Cananya odorata, H. f. & T., was by Riinphi (who wrote an 
account of it in Herb. Amb. ii. 195, prpbeiel in 1750) named Cananga (Latinice) and 
Bonga Cananga (Malaice). Rumphius’ description is of the usual pre-Linnean sort, there 
being no differentiation of generic and specific characters, and his name of course is not 
binomial. In the chapter of his book following that in which Cananga proper is treated 
of (7. ¢. p. 197), Rumphius proceeds to describe the wild Canangas as distinguished 
from the Cananga proper, which was in his time (as it is still) much cultivated by the 
Mo. Bot. Garden,
