Dammara alba femina Rumph. 1. c. 175, t. 57, f. D is surely Agathis 

 alba (Lam.) Foxw. 



Dammara celebica Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 179 = Dammara alba var. 

 celebica Hassk., Neue Schlussel (1866) 38, is suggested by Warburg to 

 be the same as Agathis celebica (Koord.) Warb. Monsunia 1 (1900) 185, 

 but Doctor Foxworthy, who has examined Celebes specimens collected by 

 Koorders, considers the species to be a synonym of Agathis alba Foxw. 

 and reduces likewise Agathis borneensis Warb., A. beccarii Warb., and 

 A. macrostachys Warb.

 meters, both locally known as gnemo. 



I consider that the three forms described and figured by 

 Rumphius represent but a single species, this being practically 

 the opinion of other authors who have considered the status of 

 the Rumphian species. Gnemon domestica femina Rumph. was 

 reduced by Linnaeus to Gnetum gnemon Linn, in the original 

 description of the species, the only deviation from this reduction 

 presented in botanical literature being Blume's reference of it 

 to Gnetum gnemon Linn. var. laurinum Blume Rumphia 4 (1848) 

 3, together with Gnemon domestica mas Rumph. Gnetum oval- 

 ifolium Poir. was based on specimens collected in Amboina by 

 Labillardiere, with an added reference to Gnemon silvestris 

 Rumph. Blume has reduced it to Gnetum gnemon Linn, as var. 

 ovalifolium (Poir.) Blume, but I consider it scarcely distinguish- 

 able from typical Gnetum gnemon Linn, even as a variety. 

 Gnemon domestica mas Rumph. was reduced by Blume to Gnetum 

 gnemon Linn., var. lucidum Blume, Rumphia 4 (1848) 4.
