RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



This very characteristic species, as I interpret the original 

 description by Sprengel, is typified by the Rumphian description 

 and illustration, the reference to the Mascarene Islands being 

 added because of the doubtful reduction of Pandanus erigens 

 Thouars (=Pandanus montanus Bory). The figure of the 

 single drupe given by Rumphius leaves absolutely no doubt as 

 to the identity of Pandanus baggea maritimum. 



PANDANUS BAGEA Miq. PI. Ind. Bat. 3 (1855) 159 (type!). 

 Folium baggea verum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 150. 



This form was reduced by Warburg, in Engl. Pflanzenreich 3 

 (1900) 50, as a synonym of Pandanus dubius Spreng., which is 

 apparently wrong. According to the description and habitat 

 given by Rumphius, it cannot possibly be Sprengel's species. It 

 is suspected that it may be a form of Pandanus tectorius Soland., 

 and it may be the form of Pandanus baggea Rumph. figured on 

 t. 81, which I have referred to Pandanus tectorius Soland.

Under Pandanus silvestris Rumphius described two entirely 

 different species, but his illustration manifestly belongs with 

 Pandanus silvestris terrestris II, which is the type of Pandanus 

 montanus Miq., P. rumphii Warb., and the variety sylvestris of 

 Pandanus ceramicus Kunth. The mature cones are about 40 

 cm long and 8 to 9 cm in diameter. The species is known only 

 from Amboina.

Not represented in our Amboina collections, and a species of 

 very doubtful status. Warburg, in Engl. Pflanzenreich 3 (1900) 

 84, has erroneously cited the Miquelian synonym, Pandanus mon- 

 tanus, under Pandanus terrestris Warb., but it properly belongs 

 with Pandanus amboinensis Warb. (P. rumphii Warb.) ; the
