RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



GYMNACRANTHERA Warburg 



GYMNACRANTHERA ZIPPELIANA (Miq.) Warb. in Nov. Act. Akad. 

 Naturf. 68 (1897) 372. 



Myristica zippeliana Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. 2 (1865) 50. 

 Palala quinta Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 28, t. 9. 

 Amboina, Hitoe messen, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 239, October 18, 

 1913, in forests, altitude about 450 meters, locally known as palala utan. 



Willdenow, Sp. PL 4 (1805) 871, considered Palala quinta 

 Rumph. to be a variety of Myristica microcarpa Willd., while 

 Lamarck, Encycl. 4 (1797) 388, placed it with doubt under 

 Myristica globularia Lam. Lamarck's species was based on 

 specimens collected by Sonnerat and is Knema globularia Warb. 

 There is little doubt that the specimen cited above represents 

 Palala quinta Rumph., and it is certainly a Gymnacr anther a, 

 probably G. zippeliana Warb., although this species has not been 

 previously reported from Amboina. 



KNEMA Loureiro 



KNEMA TOMENTELLA Warb. in Nov. Act. Akad. Naturf. 68 (1897) 588, 

 t. 25, f. 1-2. 

 Palala sexta Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 28. 

 Amboina, Hatiwe, Wae, and Kati-kati, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 236, 

 237, 238, September to November, 1913, in forests, altitude 20 to 350 

 meters, locally known as palala utan. 



Palala sexta Rumph. is, with little doubt, the same as Knema 

 tomentella Warb. Hasskarl, Neue Schliissel (1866) 26, sug- 

 gested that it might be the same as Myristica corticosa Hook. f. 

 & Th., which Warburg interprets as being composed of Knema 

 angustifolia Warb., K. glauca Warb., and K. missionis Warb. 



LAURACEAE 



CINNAMOMUM Linnaeus 



CINNAMOMUM CULILAWAN Blume Bijdr. (1825) 571, Rumphia 1 (1835) 

 26, t. 9, f. 1. 



Laurus culitlawan Linn, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 9, Amoen. 



Acad. 4 (1759) 120 (type!). 

 Laurus culilaban Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 237 (type!). 

 Cortex caryophylloides albus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 65, t. lb. 

 Culit La wan Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 65. 



The Rumphian figure and description of Cortex caryophy- 

 lloides albus are the whole basis of both Laurus culitlawan Linn, 

 and L. culilaban Linn., but Cinnamomum culilawan Blume was 

 published independently of the Linnean binomials. Blume gives 

 an ample description and figures from Amboina material;
