DRYMOPHLOEUS ? sp. 



Areca humilis Willd. Sp. PI. 4 (1805) 595 (type!). 

 Seaforthia saxatilis Blume ex Mart. Hist. Nat. Palm. 3 (1838) 186 

 (type!). 



Ptychosperma saxatilis Blume Rumphia 2 (1836) 121 (type!). 

 Pinanga silvestris saxatilis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 42, t. 7. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections; 

 and, although it has been placed in several different genera, its 

 proper place is still uncertain. Loureiro, FL Cochinch. (1790) 

 619, discusses it under Borassus caudata Lour., but does not 

 definitely refer it to this species. The Rumphian figure and 

 description are the whole basis of Areca humilis Willd., which 

 thus supplies the oldest specific name for the species when once 

 its proper genus is determined. It is also the whole basis of 

 Ptychosperma saxatilis Blume and of Seaforthia saxatilis Blume. 

 "Areca saxatilis Burm.," FL Ind. (1768) 42, quoted by Miquel 

 and listed in Index Kewensis, does not appear in Burman's work. 

 Beccari, Malesia 1 (1877) 47, excludes this from Drymophloeus, 

 but make no suggestion as to its proper disposition.

ACTINORH YTIS CALAPPARIA (Blume) H. Wendl. & Drude in Linnaea 

 39 (1875) 184. 

 Areca calapparia Blume Rumphia 2 (1836) 70, t. 100, f. 2. 

 Seaforthia calapparia Mart. Hist. Nat. Palm. 3 (1849) 313. 

 Ptychosperma ? calapparia Miq. PI. Ind. Bat. 3 (1855) 20. 

 Pinanga calapparia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1:28. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 The reduction made by Blume and followed by Miquel and by 

 Martius is apparently the correct disposition of Pinanga calap- 

 paria Rumph.

 name for this species, as Areca vestiaria Giseke was based wholly
