RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



Hasskarl, Neue Schltfssel (1866) 166, suggested Polypodium 

 phymatodes Linn, as the proper place for the Rumphian species, 

 and I consider that this is manifestly the correct disposition 

 of it. 



DRYNARIA (Bory) J. Smith 



DRYNARIA SPARSISORA (Desv.) Moore Index Fil. (1862) 348. 

 Polypodium sparsisorum Desv. in Berl. Mag. 5 (1811) 315. 

 Polypodium indicum 1 pilosum s. majus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 78, 

 t. 36. 



Amboina, Ayer putri, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. £50, July 28, 1913, 

 epiphytic at low altitudes. 



This was originally reduced by Linnaeus to Polypodium querci- 

 folium Linn. (=Drynaria quercifolia J. Sm.) in Stickman Herb. 

 Amb. (1754) 26, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 134, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 

 1325, Sp. PL ed. 2 (1763) 1547, which has been accepted by all 

 authors who have had occasion to cite the Rumphian illustra- 

 tion. There is nothing in the figure by which the Rumphian 

 species can be distinguished as between Drynaria sparsisora 

 Moore and D. quercifolia J. Sm., the two being very closely 

 allied. The Amboina specimens, however, are Drynaria sparsi- 

 sora Moore, and hence the presumption is that Polypodium 

 indicum I majus Rumph. pertains to this species rather than to 

 Drynaria quercifolia J. Sm. 



PLATYCERIUM Desvaux 



PLATYCERIUM CORONARIUM (Koenig) Desv. Prodr. (1827) 213. 

 Osmunda coronaria Koenig Naturf. Halle 21 (1785) 107, t. 3. 

 Simbar majangan Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 83. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 The plant described is manifestly a Platycerium, and in all 

 probability it is P. coronarium Desv. Blume reduced it to 

 Platycerium biforme BL, which is a synonym of P. coronarium 

 Desv.
