that did not consistently follow the Linnean binomial system of botanical 

 nomenclature. This can undoubtedly be said of Rumphius ' original work, 

 including the post-4753 Auctuarium, but not of Index Universalis . 



However, examination of the names selected for inclusion in the 

 Stickman dissertation shows that with few exceptions they fall into three 

 categories : (1) monomial generic names , (2) binomials , and (3) trinomials 

 corresponding to Linnaeus f varieties except that the Greek letters are 

 lacking. Xa— €h%eh= ^5Ste the trinomials occur in pairs (or triads), con- 

 sisting of the same binomial with a different adjectival varietal epithet 

 in eaen member of the pair. There seems no essentiai difference here from 

 Linnaeus* normai practice, except deference to Rumphius in omitting the 

 Greek letters . 



Disregarding the names in the lists for which Linnaeus designated 

 his own already published equivalents , thus effectively relegating the 

 Rumphian names to synonymy, there are 270 names to be considered, in 

 Stick!nan's list, These do not include the 231 for which the Linnaean 

 equivaients had not yet been published. Tliese latter constitute a
