RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



to C. platyacanthos Mart., to Daemonorops elongatus Blume, and 

 to D. longipes Griff. 



CALAMUS PISICARPUS Blume Rumphia 3 (1837) 31 (type!). 



Palmijuncus verus latifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 106, t. 5U, /• 1- 



This species is known oniy from Rumphius's figure and descrip- 

 tion, but is considered by Beccari, Ann. Bot. Gard. Calcutta 11 

 (1908) 460, to represent a very distinct species allied to Cala- 

 mus aruensis Becc. and C. holrungii Becc. By various authors 

 it has been erroneously reduced to Calamus rotang Linn., to 

 C. verus Lour., to C. oblongus Reinw., and to C. strictus Blume. 

 Manifestly Calamus verus Lour., described from Cochin-China 

 specimens, is a species entirely different from the Amboina plant, 

 although Loureiro cites Palmijuncus verus Rumph. as a synonym 

 of his species and takes his specific name from Rumphius. 



CALAMUS VIMINALIS Willd. Sp. PL 2 (1799) 203 (type!). 

 Calamus litoralis Blume Rumphia 3 (1837) 43. 

 Palmijuncus viminalis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 108, t. 55, /. 2. 



I agree with Beccari, Ann. Bot. Gard. Calcutta 11 (1908) 

 203, 497, that the Rumphian illustration pertains to the Javan 

 species, not to the form described from Buru (Calamus buroensis 

 Mart.). Palmijuncus viminalis Rumph. typifies Calamus vimi- 

 nalis Willd., and it has been erroneously reduced by various 

 authors to Calamus rotang Linn., to C. fasciculatus Roxb., and 

 to C. buroensis Mart. 



CALAMUS BUROENSIS Mart. Hist. Nat. Palm. 3 (1850) 336 (type!). 



Calamus viminalis e Burone Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 109 (non t. 55, 

 /■ *)- 



This is a species of doubtful status, known only from Rumph- 

 ius's description; see Beccari in Ann. Bot. Gard. Calcutta 11 

 (1908) 497. 



CALAMUS EQU ESTRIS Willd. Sp. PI. 2 (1799) 204 (type!). 

 Palmijuncus equestris Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 110, t. 56. 



A species known only from Rumphius's figure and description ; 

 see Beccari in Ann. Bot. Gard. Calcutta 11 (1908) 358. It has 

 been erroneously reduced by various authors to Calamus rotang 

 Linn, and to C. dioicus Lour. Willdenow also refers here 

 t. 57, f. 1, which Beccari places under Calamus caiva Blume. 



CALAMUS CAWA Blume Rumphia 3 (1837) 31, 62 (type!). 



Palmijuncus equestris s. rottang cawa Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 112, 

 t. 57, f. 1. 



A species known only from Rumphius's description; see Bee-
