MENISPERMACEAE

color forms mentioned on page 169 probably do not pertain to 

 the lotus, but to the genus Nymphaea.

There is no representative of this genus in our Amboina 

 collections. The color forms of Nymphaea indica major Rumph. 

 are apparently not Nelumbium nelumbo (Linn.) Druce, but are 

 referable here or in part to Nymphaea stellata Willd. Nymphaea 

 indica I vulgaris has been referred by various authors to Nym- 

 phaea lotus Linn., N. pubescens Willd., N. rubra Roxb., and N. 

 stellata Linn. The description apparently includes both Nym- 

 phaea pubescens Willd. and N. stellata Willd. Nymphaea indica 

 II ceramica, the form figured, is Limnanthemum indicum Griseb. 

 In regard to Nymphaea lotus Linn., the type is manifestly the 

 African form, the original specimen still existing in the Linnean 

 herbarium * where it was examined by Conard.f Fl. Zeyl. 19 U 

 was wrongly placed here by Linnaeus as a synonym, and is 

 Nymphaea pubescens Willd.

Nymphaea indica minor I vulgaris Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 172, p. p. 



The color forms mentioned by Rumphius, for the most part, 

 are apparently referable to Nymphaea stellata Willd. rather than 

 to Nymphaea lotus Linn. As to the propriety of the use of 

 Nymphaea instead of Castalia as the generic name for the water 

 lilies, see Conard in Rhodora 18 (1916) 161.
