RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



OVERLOOKED BINOMIALS 



During the course of my work on this project I have detected 

 an unusually large number of binomials, over one hundred, 

 that while validly published were overlooked in compiling 

 the data for Index Kewensis and do not appear in that 

 work or in any of its supplements. Some of these binomials 

 appear in works that were never indexed, such as Stickman's 

 Dissertation on the Herbarium Amboinense (1754) ; and in 

 various other works based on the Herbarium Amboinense, such 

 as those of Henschel and of Hasskarl; while others appear in 

 works that were indexed, but for one reason or another certain 

 species were overlooked. The list has been deemed to be of 

 sufficient importance to warrant publication and is accordingly 

 here presented.
