PANDANACEAE

PANDANUS TECTORIUS Soland. in Parkins. Voy. H. M. S. Endeavour 

 (1773) 46. 



Pandanus odoratissimus Linn. f. Suppl. (1781) 424. 

 Pandanus verus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 139, t. 7-4. 

 Folium baggea Rumph. quoad t. 31. 



This common coastal species is not represented in our Amboina 

 collections, yet the reduction, originally made by the younger 

 Linnaeus, is undoubtedly correct ; it is to be noted, however, that 

 he reduced to this species H t. 7U ad 81," of which the first and 

 the last are apparently Pandanus tectorius Soland. (P. odoratis- 

 simus Linn, f.), but the others represent entirely different 

 species. Table 7U is exceedingly poor, but the description of 

 Pandanus verus Rumph. applies unmistakably to Pandanus 

 tectorius Soland. 



PANDANUS TECTORIUS Soland. var. MOSCHATUS (Miq.). 



Pandanus tectorius Soland. var. laevis (Kunth) Warb. in Engl. Pflan- 



zenreich 3 (1900) 48. 

 Pandanus laevis Kunth Enum. 3 (1841) 100 (type!), non Lour. 

 Pandanus moschatus Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 3 (1855) 165 (type!). 

 Pandanus moschatus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 147. 



I have followed Warburg in the reduction of this Rumphian 

 species, but differ from him in the selection of the varietal 

 name, as I consider Pandanus laevis Kunth to be invalidated by 

 P. laevis Lour. Loureiro reduced Pandanus moschatus Rumph. 

 to Pandanus laevis Lour., Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 604, but 

 Loureiro's species is manifestly not the same as the one 

 Rumphius described and is to be interpreted by Cochin-China 

 material. All early authors, however, followed Loureiro in this 

 reduction. 



PANDANUS CONOIDEUS Lam. Encycl. 1 (1785) 372 (type!). 

 Pandanus ceramicus Kunth Enum. 3 (1841) 98 (type!). 

 Pandanus ceramicus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 149, t. 79. 



This species was reported by Rumphius from Ceram, Buru, 

 Gilolo, and Ternate, but not from Amboina except as an intro- 

 duced and rarely cultivated plant. It is not represented in our 

 Amboina collections. The Rumphian figure and description are 

 the whole basis of both Pandanus conoideus Lam. and P. 

 ceramicus Kunth; and Warburg, in Engl. Pflanzenreich. 3 (1900) 

 69, has apparently interpreted the species correctly. 



PANDANUS DUBIUS Spreng. Syst. 3 (1826) 897 (type!). 



Folium baggea maritimum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 151, t. 80 (non 

 t. 81!). 



Amboina, Latoehalat, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 55, September 22, 

 1913, along* the seashore, locally known as haun.
