not recorded by him as being from Amboina. Macfarlane * 

 definitely records Nepenthes maxima Reinw. from Amboina, 

 New Guinea, Celebes, and Borneo. 



CRASSULACEAE 



KALANCHOE Adanson 



KALANCHOE LACINIATA (Linn.) DC. PI. Grass. (1799-1829) t. 100, 

 Prodr. 3 (1828) 395. 

 Cotyledon laciniata Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 430. 

 Planta anatis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 275, t. 95. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 The figure is poor, but the description, at least in most part, 

 applies to this widely distributed species. It may, in part, 

 apply also to Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) Kurz (B. calycinum 

 Salisb.) , but the description of the flowers as 5-merous and yellow 

 indicates a Kalanchoe not a Bryophyllum. The reduction of 

 Planta anatis to Cotyledon laciniata Linn, was made by Lin- 

 naeus himself, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 21, Amoen. 

 Acad. 4 (1759) 130, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1036, Sp. PL ed. 2 

 (1762) 615, in which he has been followed by all later authors, 

 either under Cotyledon, Kalanchoe, or Verrea. 



Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) Kurz. (B. calycinum Salisb.) 

 occurs in our Amboina collections (Roemah tiga, Rel. Robins. 

 1819, July 30, 1913) and, as noted above, may be included in the 

 Rumphian description of Planta anatis. Primarily, however, 

 Planta anatis is certainly Kalanchoe laciniata (Linn.) DC. 



PITTOSPORACEAE 



PITTOSPORUM Banks 

 PITTOSPORUM MOLUCCANUM (Lam.) Miq. 111. Fl. Arch. Ind. (1871) 76. 

 Anasser moluccana Lam. 111. 2 (1797) 40 (type!). 

 Anassera moluccana Pers. Syn. 1 (1805) 265 (type!). 

 Pittosporum ferrugineum Ait. var. filarium DC. Prodr. 1 (1824) 847 

 (type!). 



Pittosporum rumphii Putterl. Syn. Pitt. (1839) 7 (type). 

 Cortex foetid us Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 12, t. 7. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections, 

 but Miquel, 1. c, cites Amboina material collected by Zippel 

 and by Teysmann, on which his sufficiently ample description is 

 based. The Rumphian figure and description are the whole 

 basis of Anasser moluccana Lam., Anassera moluccana Pers., 

 and de Candolle's variety of Pittosporum ferrugineum cited 

 above (erroneously cited as Cortex filiarius, but the page and
