RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



PELL I ON I A Gaudichaud 



PELL I ON I A SINUATA (Blume) Boerl. Handl. Kenn. Fl. Nederl. Ind. 3 

 (1900) 375. 

 Procris sinuata Blume Bijdr. (1825) 511. 

 Elatostema sinuatum Hassk. Cat. Hort. Bogor. (1844) 79. 

 Macuerus mas Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 133, t. 58, f. 2. 

 Amboina, Ayer putri, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 320, July 28, 1913, on 

 coral rocks at low altitudes. 



The only previously suggested identification of Macuerus mas 

 is Hasskarl's doubtful reference of it to Elatostema macro- 

 phyllum Brongn., Neue Schlussel (1866) 174. It is certainly 

 not Brongniart's species, but is Pellionia sinuata Boerl., at 

 least as that species is interpreted by Robinson, in Philip. Journ. 

 Sci. 5 (1910) Bot. 497. 



BOEHMERIA Jacquin 



BOEHMERIA NIVEA (Linn.) Gaudich. Bot. Freyc. Voy. (1826) 499. 

 Urtica nivea Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 985. 

 Rami urn majus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 214, t. 79. f. 1. 



The plant figured and described is a form of ramie, probably 

 typical Boehmeria nivea Gaudich., although possibly the variety 

 tenacissima (Gaudich.) Miq. It was first reduced by Linnaeus 

 to Urtica nivea Linn., in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 21, 

 Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 130, Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1763) 1398, and 

 has been cited by various authors under Procris nivea Gaudich. 

 and Boehmeria tenacissima Gaudich., synonyms of Boehmeria 

 nivea Gaudich. Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 197, erroneously 

 referred it to Urtica aestuans Linn, in which he was followed by 

 Lamarck, Persoon, and Henschel. 



POUZOLZIA Gaudichaud 



POUZOLZIA ZEYLANICA (Linn.) Benn. PI. Jav. Rar. (1838) 67. 



Parietaria zeylanica Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 1052. 



Parietaria indica Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 128. 



Pouzolzia indica Gaudich. Bot. Freyc. Voy. (1826) 503. 



Herba memoriae Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 29, t. 12, f. 2. 

 Amboina, Batoe merah and vicinity of the town of Amboina, Robinson 

 PI. Rumph. Amb. 324, 325, July, 1913, in sago swamps and along road- 

 sides at low altitudes. 



Herba memoriae Rumph. is manifestly a form of Pouzolzia 

 indica (Linn.) Benn. Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 221, refers 

 it to Parietaria indica Burm. f ., published independently of P. 

 indica Linn. It has been cited as a synonym of Pouzolzia indica 

 Gaudich. by several authors, for example, Presl, Bennett, Blume,
