RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



plate numbers are correct), and apparently Putterlick's Pit- 

 tosporum rumphii. It differs from Pittosporum ferrugineum 

 Ait. notably in its larger fruits and leaves. 



PITTOSPORUM sp.? 



Cortex igneus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 10, t. 6, f. 1. 



Hasskarl, Neue Schliissel (1866) 186, thought that this might 

 be a species of Pittosporum, following Teysmann's suggestion. 

 It was not from Amboina, but from the Aru Islands or from 

 others in the same general region. Native names cited are culit 

 apt, eyk, and mockulhaulo. There is little in the description to 

 indicate that it is a Pittosporum, and its status is quite unde- 

 terminable from the data and the material at present available.

WEINMANNIA * Linnaeus

 Pterophylla fraxinea D. Don 1. c. 

 Cortex papetarius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 212, t. 137. 



The type of Weinmannia fraxinea Sm. was from the Moluccas, 

 so that the probabilities are that Teysmann was correct in his 

 reduction of Cortex papetarius Rumph. to Smith's species. 

 Rumphius's figure is an excellent one and is unmistakably a 

 Weinmannia. Linnaeus, Mant. 2 (1771) 510, erroneously 

 reduced it to Dialum indum Linn., in which he was followed by 

 numerous authors. Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 12, considered 

 that it represented a variety of Dialum javanicum Burm. f., 

 which is a synonym of D. indum Linn. Hasskarl, Neue Schliissel 

 (1866) 68, thought that it might be an Otonychium=Harpullia 

 (Sapindaceae) , with which it has nothing in common, and at 

 the same time quotes Teysmann's opinion that it is Weinmannia 

 fraxinea Sm.

The specimen is a good match for the figure of Tanarius major 

 Rumph. and agrees with the description even better than with 

 the figure. Tanarius major Rumph. was discussed by Loureiro, 



* Retained name, Vienna Code; Windmannia P. Br. (1756) is older.
