RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



Herb. Amb. (1754) 13, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 124, Syst. ed. 

 10 (1759) 1315, Sp. PL ed. 2 (1763) 1515. Likewise it was 

 erroneously reduced by Lamarck, with doubt, to Ficus pyrifolia 

 Lam. ; by Vahl to Ficus rubra Vahl ; and by Blume to Ficus 

 microcarpa Linn. f. var. litoralis Blume. Miquel thought that 

 it might represent a species allied to Ficus manok Miq. 



FICUS RECURVA Blume Bijdr. (1825) 457. 



Rudens silvaticus parvifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5 : 80, t. US, f. 2. 



From the description and figure I have little doubt in referring 

 this to Ficus recurva Blume. A more comprehensive explora- 

 tion of Amboina, however, may yield material that will modify 

 this reduction. 



FORMS OF FICUS, DESCRIBED BY RUMPHIUS, OF DOUBTFUL STATUS 



Grossularia domestica longifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 136. 

 Grossularia domestica parvifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 136. 



Both are perhaps forms of Ficus trematocarpa Miq. to which Grossularia 

 domestica Rumph. pertains. 



Varinga funicularis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 137. 



Varinga nounouck Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 137 (from Madagascar). 

 Grossularia silvestris Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 138, t. 89. 



This form was erroneously placed by Lamarck under Ficus racemosa 

 Linn., and by Henschel under Ficus tsjela Ham. Miquel thought that it 

 might be near Ficus albinervia Miq. It is not represented in our Amboina 

 collections. 



Arbor eusanda Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 141. 



Caprificus amboinensis esculenta angustifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 146. 

 Apparently a form allied to Ficus racemifera Roxb., as interpreted above, 



and to F. variegata Blume. 



Caprificus amboinensis esculenta silvestris Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 148. 

 Caprificus amboinensis esculenta s. hahuol altera Rumph. Herb. Amb. 

 3: 148. 



Caprificus s. sycomorus chartaria (amboinensis) Rumph. Herb. Amb. 

 3: 149. 



Caprificus s. sycomorus chartaria (javanica) Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 149. 

 Caju djurang (e Java) Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 151. 

 Ficus septica silvestris Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 154. 

 Ficus septica angustifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 154. 



The last two are perhaps merely forms of Ficus septica Burm. f. (Ficus 

 leucantatoma Poir.) as interpreted above, to which Ficus septica Rumph. 

 pertains. 



Rudens silvaticus latifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 80, t. J^S. f. 1. 



A scandent fig, apparently belonging in the group with Ficus recurva 

 Blume. 



Rudens silvaticus rugosus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 81. 



Manifestly *a species of Ficus and apparently belonging in the same group 

 as the above.
