RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



at determining the status of this form. Henschel's suggestion 

 that it might be Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb. is not tenable. 



ARTOCARPUS sp. 



Caju bandaa Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 109. 



As to the reference to Rheede this is Artocarpus hirsuta Lam., 

 but the Javan plant discussed must be a different species, and 

 its status is indeterminable at this time. 



ANTIARIS* Leschenault 



ANTIARIS TOXICARIA (Pers.) Lesch. in Ann. Mus. Paris 16 (1810) 478. 



Ipo toxicaria Pers. Syn. 2 (1807) 566. 



Arbor toxicaria mas Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 263, t. 87. 



This is the famous upas tree, and it is manifestly the form 

 commonly known as Antiaris toxicaria Lesch. Arbor toxicaria 

 Rumph. was reduced to Ipo toxocaria Pers. in the original 

 description of the genus and species. 



The form described by Rumphius as Arbor toxicaria femina is 

 probably referable here. Blume has placed it under Antiaris 

 innoxia BL, which is a synonym of A. toxicaria Lesch.

 Rumph. Amb. 181, July and August, 1913, along streams at low altitudes, 

 locally known as gondal. 



The Rumphian species was originally reduced by Linnaeus 

 through error to Ficus benghalensis Linn., in Stickman Herb. 

 Amb. (1754) 13, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 124. Loureiro, Fl. 

 Cochinch. (1790) 665, discusses it under Ficus auriculata Lour., 

 which, according to his description, is an entirely different 

 species. It is the type and whole basis of Ficus racemifera 

 Roxb. as originally published in the Hortus Bengalensis (1814) 

 66, by citation of the Rumphian figure, but is not the form later 

 described by Roxburgh, Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 3 (1832) 560 (=Ficus 

 variegata Blume), where the reference to Rumphius is repeated. 

 It is also the type of Ficus amboinensis Kostel., which thus 

 becomes a synonym of Ficus racemifera Roxb. The type of 



* Retained name, Vienna Code; Ipo Pers. (1807) is older.
