MORINGACEAE 241 



Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 21, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 130, 

 Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1137, to Cleome icosandra Linn., but the 

 plant described as Lagansa alba is manifestly the form com- 

 monly known as Polanisia viscosa (Linn.) DC. In the descrip- 

 tion of the plate figure 2 is connected with Lagansa alba, but 

 it is apparent that the figures are reversed between Lagansa 

 alba and Lagansa rubra. 



GYNANDROPSIS * de Candolle 



GYNANDROPSIS PENTAPHYLLA (Linn.) DC. Prodr. 1 (1824) 238. 



Cleome pentaphylla Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1763) 938. 

 Lagansa rubra Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 280, t. 96, f. 2. 



The common and well-known Gynandropsis pentaphylla DC. 

 is not represented in our Amboina collections. The Rumphian 

 description, however, applies well to this species. In the descrip- 

 tion of the plate the explanations of Lagansa alba and Lagansa 

 rubra are transposed. 



MORINGACEAE 



MORINGA Burman f. 



MORINGA OLEIFERA Lam. Encycl. 1 (1785) 398. 



Guilandina moringa Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 381. 

 Moringa pterygosperma Gaertn. Fruct. 2 (1791) 314. 

 Morunga Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 184, t. 7-4. 

 Morunga femina Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 185, t. 75. 



Amboina, in cultivation, near the town of Amboina, Robinson PI. Rumph. 

 Amb. 255, September 13, 1913, locally known as kelor. 



The reduction of Morunga, t. 7U, was first made by Linnaeus, 

 in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 8, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 

 120; and in the Systema, ed. 10 (1759) 1018, he also reduced 

 Morunga femina, t. 75. Both figures manifestly represent the 

 same species, and both are unmistakably the common and well- 

 known Moringa oleifera Lam. Other names, all synonyms, to 

 which the Rumphian figures have been referred by various au- 

 thors are : Hyper anther a moringa Vahl, Moringa. zeylanica Willd., 

 Moringa domestica Ham., Anoma moringa Lour., A. morunga 

 Lour., and Moringa polygona DC. ; some of these are to be inter- 

 preted in part by the Rumphian figures. Moringa domestica 

 Ham., in Mem. Wern. Soc. 5 2 (1826) 368, 371, does not appear 

 in Index Kewensis. 



* Retained name, Vienna Code; Pedicellaria Schrank (1790) is older.
