first reduced by Linnaeus to Acrostichum siliquosum Linn., a 

 synonym of Ceratopteris thalictroides (Linn.) Brongn., which is 

 manifestly the correct disposition of it. It has also been cited 

 under the following synonyms of Ceratopteris thalictroides 

 Brongn. : Ellobocarpus oleraceus Kaulf . and Pteris thalictroides 

 Willd. 



GLEICHENIACEAE 



GLEICH EN I A Smith 



GLEICH EN I A LINEARIS (Burm. f.) Clarke in Trans. Linn. Soc. Bot. 1 

 (1880) 428. 



Polypodium lineare Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 235, t. 67, f. 2. 

 Filix calamaria Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 85, t. 38. 



Amboina, Batoe merah, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 446, July 18, 1913, 

 on rocks at low altitudes, locally known as paku kawa. 



This reduction of Filix calamaria is certainly correct, for the 

 figure and description are unmistakable. It has been reduced by 

 Poiret to Polypodium dichotomum Thunb., by Willdenow to 

 Mertensia dichotoma Willd., by Blume to Gleichenia hermannii 

 R. Br., and by Mettenius to Gleichenia dichotoma Hook. var. 

 alternans Mett. 



SCHIZAEACEAE 



SCHIZAEA Smith 



SCHIZAEA DICHOTOMA (Linn.) Smith in Mem. Acad. Turin 5 (1793) 

 t. 9, f. 9. 



Acrostichum dichotomum Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 1068. 

 Equisetum silvestre III Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 92. 

 Amboina, Salahoetoe, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 460, November, 1913. 



This reduction was first made by Hasskarl, Neue Schliissel 

 (1866) 168, following Blume's reduction of it to the genus 

 Schizaea, and this is apparently the correct disposition of it. 



LYGODIUM Swartz 

 LYGODIUM CIRCINNATUM (Burm. f.) Sw. Syn. (1806) 153. 

 Ophioglossum circinnatum Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 228. 

 Adianthum volubile I polypoides Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 75, t. S3 



(including medium and scriptum) . 

 Amboina, Bin ting and Amahoesoe, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 451, 452, 

 August, 1913, in limestone regions at low altitudes. 



Linnaeus originally reduced this, through error, to Ophioglos- 

 sum flexuosum Linn., in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 26, Amoen. 

 Acad. 4 (1759) 134. Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 228, cites it
