120 RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



10, thought that it was a species of Iguanura, while by other 

 authors it has been placed as an undetermined species of Areca 

 and of Pinanga.

Saguaster minor Rumph. is the basis of Areca olivaeformis 

 Giseke, this supplying the oldest valid specific name. Hamilton, 

 Mem. Wern. Soc. 5 (1826) 316, discusses it under Harina caryo- 

 toides Ham., which is described from Indian specimens, but 

 he does not reduce Saguaster minor to this species.

Sargile Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 68. 



Areca gracilis Giseke was based wholly on Rumphius's descrip- 

 tion of Sargile. Beccari, Malesia 1 (1877) 46, has excluded it 

 from the synonymy of Drymophloeus appendiculatus (Blume) 

 Becc, with all other synonyms based on Rumphius, because of the 

 fact that Rumphius included in the description more than one 

 species, and because he based his description largely on data 

 supplied to him by the natives. Beccari, op. cit. 98, refers 

 "Saguaster minor ex Gilolo et Nova-Guinea/' i. e., Sargile 

 Rumph. p. p., to Drymophloeus jaculatorius Mart., a species of 

 doubtful status. 



DRYMOPHLOEUS sp. 



Areca vaginata Giseke Prael. Ord. Nat. PI. (1792) 80 (type!). 

 Sargile minor II Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 68. 



The form described in the last paragraph of chapter fifteen was 

 made the type of Areca vaginata by Giseke. It may prove to 

 be a synonym of the preceding species, but its status is now 

 entirely doubtful.
