MARATTIACEAE— LYCOPODIACEAE 



71 



Schlechtendal, Adumbr. (1825) 9, placed it under Ophioglossum 

 moluccanum Schlecht., both synonyms of Ophioglossum peduncu- 

 losum Desv. 



H ELM I NTHOSTACH YS Kaulfuss 



H ELM INTHOSTACH YS ZEYLANICA (Linn.) Hook. Gen. Fil. (1840) t. U7. 

 Osmunda zeylanica Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 1063. 

 Ophioglossum laciniatum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 153, t. 68, f. 3. 

 Amboina, Kati-kati, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. J>55, October 28, 1913, 

 in ravines at an altitude of about 70 meters. 



The original reduction of Ophioglossum laciniatum was made 

 by Linnaeus (to Osmunda zeylanica Linn.) in Stickman Herb. 

 Amb. (1754) 28, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 135, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 

 1318", Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1763) 1519, which as Helminthostachys 

 zeylanica Hook, is manifestly the correct disposition of it. By 

 other authors it has been cited under Botrychium zeylanicum 

 Willd., and Helminthostachys dulcis Kaulf. — both synonyms of 

 H. zeylanica Hook. 



MARATTIACEAE 



ANGIOPTERIS Hoffmann 



ANGIOPTERIS AMBOINENSIS DeVr. in Nederl. Kruidk. Arch. 3 (1852) 

 195, Monogr. Marat. (1853) 32. 

 Filix aquatica I femina Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 65, t. 28. 



Not represented in our Amboina collections. Blume thought 

 that this might be a species of Marattia, but the size of the plant, 

 as indicated by Rumphius, makes this suggested reduction an 

 impossible one. While it is impossible definitely to state that 

 Filix aquatica Rumph. is identical with Angiopteris amboinensis 

 DeVr., the presumption is very great that they are the same. 



LYCOPODIACEAE 



LYCOPODIUM Linnaeus 



LYCOPODIUM CERNUUM Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 1103. 



Cingulum terrae Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 87, t. U0, f. 1. 



Amboina, Batoe merah and Soja road, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. U57, 

 July and August, 1913, in rocky places and on grassy hillsides, altitude 

 15 to 200 meters, locally known as daun rai rai. 



Linnaeus originally reduced Cingulum terrae to Lycopodium 

 canaliculatum Linn, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 27, Amoen. 

 Acad. 4 (1759) 135, but later, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1330, placed 

 it under Lycopodium cernuum Linn., where it manifestly belongs.
