CASUARINACEAE

RENANTHERA Loureiro 



RENANTHERA MOLUCCANA Blume Rumphia 4 (1848) 54, t. 193, f. 

 2; t. 197E. 



Angraecum rubrum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 101, t. UU, f- 2. 



I do not understand the exact status of the form of this plant 

 described by Rumphius. 



SARCANTHUS Lindley 



SARCANTHUS SUBULATUS (Blume) Reichb. f. in Bonplandia 5 (1857) 

 41; J. J. Sm. Orch. Amb. (1905) 103. 

 Sarcanthus secundus Griff. Not. 3 (1851) 362. 

 Cleisostoma subulatum Blume Bijdr. (1825) 363. 

 Angraecum pungens Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 106. 



I have little doubt that the plant described by Rumphius as 

 Angraecum pungens is the same as Sarcanthus subulatus Rchb. 

 f. Usually the sepals and petals are light or dark brown with 

 a pale center, but the specimen I collected in Amboina had very 

 pale flowers. Schoenorchis juncifolia Blume, to which Hasskarl 

 reduced it, is a totally different plant. 



ORCHIDACEAE OF UNCERTAIN STATUS 



Angraecum sediforme Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 107. 



Unrecognizable. • 

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



The plant described by Rumphius evidently belongs in the Sarcanthinae. 

 Maccabuhay Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 287. 



It is not at all certain that this plant is an orchid. The material was 

 from the Philippines; see Tinospora, Menispermaceae. 

 Satyria Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 287. 



Unrecognizable. Rumphius's material was from China, the Chinese 

 name pu sang tjan being quoted by him.

CASUARI N A RUMPHIANA Miq. in Flora 48 (1865) 23 (type!), 38. 

 Casuarina montana Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 87, t. 58 (excl. /. A). 

 Amboina, Soja, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 411, October 24, 1913, alti- 

 tude about 275 meters, locally known as kasuari. 



Casuarina montana is the whole basis of Casuarina rumphiana 

 Miq., as originally published in Flora 48 (1865) 23, but on page 

 38 of the same volume Miquel amplifies the description from
