188 RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



nensis (Willd.) Blume (Celtis amboinensis Willd.). Doctor 

 Lauterbach, in answer to my query regarding the identity of 

 Celtis amboinensis Willd., writes from Breslau as follows : "Das 

 Originalexamplar von Celtis amboinensis im Willdenow Herbar 

 ist von den Herrn Professoren Volkens imd Gilg mit Trema 

 orientalis var. amboinensis Lauterb. verglichen worden. Das- 

 selbe stimmt mit derselben nicht iiberein, entspricht dagegen 

 meiner Trema virgata Bl. var. scabra (Bl.) Ltb." 



MORACEAE 



MORUS Linnaeus 



MORUS ALBA Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 986. 



Morus indica Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 986. 

 Moms indica Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 8, t. 5. 



The form described and figured by Rumphius is the one de- 

 scribed by Linnaeus as Morus indica Linn, and was reduced by 

 Linnaeus to this species in his Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1266. This 

 disposition of it has been accepted by all authors who have had 

 occasion to cite the Rumphian illustration. Morus indica Linn., 

 however, does not appear to be specifically distinct from Morus 

 alba Linn. 



BROUSSONETIA L'Heritier 



BROUSSONETIA PAPYRI FERA Vent. Tabl. Regn. Veg. 3 (1794) 547. 

 Frutex lintearius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 114, t. 53. 



This reduction was made by Henschel, Vita Rumph. (1833) 

 165, and is apparently the correct disposition of Frutex lin- 

 tearius. The material on which the figure and the description 

 were based was from Celebes, The figure is poor and presents 

 only a branch with leaves; the flowers and the fruits are not 

 described. 



TAXOTROPHIS Blume 



TAXOTROPHIS ILICIFOLIA Vidal Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (1886) 249. 



Balanostreblus ilicifolia Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 42 1 (1873) 

 247, t. 19. 



Taxotrophis triapiculata Gamble Kew Bull. (1913) 188. 

 Taxotrophis obtusa Elm. Leafl. Philip. Bot. 5 (1913) 1813. 

 Ulet Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 62, t. 3J>. 



No previous reduction of Ulet has been suggested other than 

 Hasskarl's suggestion that it might be an Antidesma. It is, 

 however, unquestionably a form of Taxotrophis ilicifolia Vidal, 

 as shown by the figure and the description. In regard to the 

 synonymy cited above, Taxotrophis ilicifolia Vidal was published
