RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



one would think that it referred to a white-flowered form of 

 Spatho glottis, and, if this suggestion is correct, Blume's descrip- 

 tion applies only to the species figured by Rumphius, t. 50, f. 3. 

 It is to be noted that Blume gives a detailed description of the 

 lip of Phajus gratus BL, although he certainly did not see a 

 specimen, and Rumphius does not describe the lip. 



SPATHOGLOTTIS Blume 



SPATHOGLOTTIS PLICATA Blume Bijdr. (1825) 401, Tabell. /. 76; J. 

 J. Sm. Orch. Amb. (1905) 24. 

 Angraecum terrestre primum purpureum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 112. 



Rumphius's description applies to Spatho glottis plicata Blume. 

 In the Herbarium Amboinense t 52, /. 1 is erroneously referred 

 here; it represents Phajus amboinensis Blume. 



Phajus rumphii Blume, Mus. Bot. 2 (1856) 179, is an artificial 

 species based on the characters of Angraecum terrestre primum 

 purpureum Rumph. {Spatho glottis plicata Blume) and An- 

 graecum terrestre alterum Rumph. (Phajus amboinensis 

 Blume).

Orchis amboinica major radice digitata Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 116. 



Hasskarl suggests that this plant may be Cyrtoptera ensifor- 

 mis Lindl. Rumphius's description applies closely to Eulophia, 

 but I do not know any species of the genus to which the state- 

 ment "radix digitata" is applicable.

Angraecum gajang Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 108. 



There is no doubt that Angraecum gajang Rumph. is a Liparis. 

 A careful study of the question of its identity has convinced me 

 that it is the form I described as Liparis amboinensis, here 

 called L. treubii; Rumphius's description agrees entirely with 

 mine. In raising Liparis confusa var. amboinensis to specific 

 rank, I unfortunately overlooked the fact that the name was 

 preoccupied in the genus.
