HAMAMELIDACEAE— ROSACEAE 



245 



Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 231, under Jambolifera resinosa Lour., 

 and has been cited by Don, Henschel, and de Candolle under 

 Cyminosma resinosa Don, but has nothing to do with the species 

 that Loureiro described. The specimen also agrees perfectly 

 with the figure of Arbor vespertilionum Rumph. and with the 

 short description of the second plant included in the descrip- 

 tion. The major part of the description of Arbor vespertilio- 

 num Rumph., that is, the first form described in this chapter, 

 is Helicia serrata R. Br. (see p. 205), and the figure has 

 been referred to Helicia, where it manifestly does not belong. 

 Schizomeria serrata Hochr. is known only from Amboina, was 

 originally described from specimens cultivated in the botanic 

 garden at Buitenzorg, Java, and is very closely allied to the 

 Australian species Schizomeria ovata D. Don, the only other 

 known species of the genus. This is one of the few cases in 

 which Rumphius described and figured the same species twice 

 under entirely different names. 



HAMAMELIDACEAE 



ALTINGIA Noronha 



ALTINGIA EXCELSA Noronha in Verh. Batav. Genootsch. 5 a (1795) 9. 

 Lignum papuanum I Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 57? 



Persoon, Syn. 2 (1807) 579, reduced this to Altingia excelsa 

 Noronha, apparently after Noronha, and Blume reduced it to 

 Liquidamber altingia B1.=L. altingiana Blume, both synonyms of 

 Altingia excelsa Noronha. It is probable that Rumphius in- 

 cluded more than this one species under Lignum papuanum 7, 

 especially in view of the fact that Altingia excelsa Noronha does 

 not appear to be definitely known from so far to the east as 

 New Guinea. The form described in the same chapter as 

 Lignum papuanum II, unless referable to Altingia excelsa Noronha, 

 is undeterminable. The identification of Lignum papuanum 

 is based largely on the native name cited by Rumphius, caju 

 rasamala; in Java rasamala is the resin of Altingia excelsa 

 Noronha. The plant Rumphius had in mind may have been 

 entirely different.
