Sah. Island of Amboyna (Laytimor) and adjaccut islands Oma nnd liaioclia, 

 JB^umphius. 



This tree is only- known from Rumphius's figure, taken from a leafy branch without flowers or fiult, 

 gathered in the main island of Amboyna, and from his few descriptive notes of tin? tree, which, he wvs, i-s 

 common in the little islands of Oma and Harocha, all which agree perfectly with the A. hofosfricca, 



r 



except in the size of the phyllodia, which, he says, attain a foot and a half in breadth (length?), whilst 

 among numerous Australian specimens I have seen none much above half that length. The hr^cr onex, 

 however, may not have been gathered by collectors. If the Amboyna tree should really prove to be 

 identical with the Australian one, Willdenow's name will have to be preferred.
