RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



CYATHEA sp. 



Palmifilix postium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 63. 



Manifestly one of the tree ferns and probably a Cyathea. Its 

 exact status cannot be determined from any data at present 

 available. 



POLYPODIACEAE 



DRYOPTERIS Adanson 



DRYOPTERIS FEROX (Blume) 0. Kuntze Rev. Gen. PI. 2 (1891) 812. 

 Aspidium ferox Blume Enum. PI. Jav. (1828) 153. 

 Filix amboinica mas Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 69. 

 Amboina, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 439, July 23, 1913, on river banks 

 in the vicinity of the town of Amboina. 



This reduction of Filix amboinica mas is certainly correct, 

 the species being a strongly marked and characteristic one and 

 Rumphius's description agreeing closely with it. 



TECTARIA Cavanilles 

 (Aspidium Swartz) 



TECTARIA CRENATA Cav. Descr. (1802) 250. 



Aspidium repandum Willd. Sp. PI. 5 (1810) 216. 



Lonchitis amboinica recta Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 70. 

 Amboina, Soja, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 447, August 2, 1913, altitude 

 about 250 meters. 



This is probably the correct disposition of the plant Rumphius 

 briefly described. 



STENOSEM I A Presl 



STENOSEM I A AURITA (Sw.) Presl Tent. Pterid. (1836) 237. 



Acrostichum auritum Sw. in Schrad. Journ. 1800 2 (1801) 12. 

 Filix florida Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 78, t. 35, f. 1. 



Amboina, Way uri, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 444, September 9, 1913, 

 in river bottoms at low altitudes. 



This reduction was made by Willdenow, Sp. PI. 5 (1810) 112, 



as Acrostichum auritum Sw. It has been cited under Polybo- 

 trya aurita Blume and Acrostichum floridum Poir., both of which 

 are synonyms of Stenosemia aurita Presl. 



DAVALLIA Smith 



DAVALLI A ELATA (Forst.) Spreng. in Schrad. Journ. 17 9 9 2 (1799 ) 271. 



Trichomanes elatum Forst. Prodr. (1786) 85. 



Dryopteris triplex arborea Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 73, t. 32, f. 1. 

 Amboina, Ayer putri, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 449, July 28, 1913, 

 on trees at low altitudes.
