RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



LYCOPODIUM PHLEGMARIA Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 1101. 



Equisetum amboinicum s. arboreum squamatum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 



6: 91, t. U, f. 1. 



Amboina, Binting, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. J±56, August 13, 1913, 

 on trees. 



This reduction was first made by Linnaeus in Stickman Herb. 

 Amb. (1754) 27, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 135, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 

 1330, and is certainly the correct disposition of it. 



LYCOPODIUM NUMMULARI FOLIUM Blume Enum. (1828) 263. 

 Equisetum amboinicum II minor Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 92? 

 Not represented in our Amboina collections. The reduction is 

 that suggested by van Alderwerelt van Rosenburgh in Philip. 

 Journ. Sci. 11 (1916) Bot. 120. Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel 

 (1866) 167, thought that it might be Lycopodium phlegmarioides 

 Spring. 



SELAGINELLACEAE 



SELAGI N ELLA * Spring 



SELAGI N ELLA PLANA (Desv.) Hieron. in Engl. & Prantl Nat. Pflan- 

 zenfam. 1 4 (1900) 703. 

 Lycopodium planum Desv. in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 3 (1813) 554. 

 Muscus fruticescens femina Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 86, t. 39, f. 1. 

 Amboina, Gelala, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 458, July 16, 1913, on 

 banks at low altitudes. 



Undoubtedly this is the correct disposition of Muscus frutices- 

 cens femina Rumph., and is that suggested by Desvaux in Lam. 

 Encycl. Suppl. 3 (1813) 538. The only other suggested reduc- 

 tion is that of Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 167, who thought 

 it might be Lycopodium dichotomum Sw. 



SELAGI N ELLA D'URVILLEI A. Br. in Verh. Zool. Bot. Ges. (1869) 585. 

 Muscus fruticescens mas Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 86, t. 39, f. 2. 

 Amboina, Hatiwe, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 459, September 4, 1913, 

 in light woods at low altitudes. 



This is in all probability the correct disposition of Muscus 

 fruticescens mas Rumph. ; although, if a number of allied species 

 should be found in Amboina, it would be difficult or impossible 

 to determine to which of the forms the Rumphian figure applies. 

 Desvaux, in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 3 (1813) 558, thought that it 

 might be Lycopodium caudatum Desv., and Hasskarl, Neue 

 Schlussel (1866) 167, thought that it might be Lycopodium 

 fruticulosum Blume, both of these being species of Selaginella. 



* Retained name, Brussels Congress; Selaginoides Boehm. (1760), Lyco- 

 podioides Boehm. (1760), and Stachygynandrium Beauv. (1804) are older.
