RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



description of Stixis scandens Lour., as apparently belonging in 

 the same genus as that species, but Atunus has nothing in 

 common with Stixis scandens Lour., which belongs in the Cap- 

 paridaceae. Atunus albus Rumph., 1. c. 172, is probably a form 



of P armarium glaberrimum Hassk. 



CONNARACEAE 



CONNARUS Linnaeus 



CONNARUS sp. 



Clompanus funicularis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 70. t. 37, f. 2. 



The description and figure are certainly those of a Connarus, 

 and perhaps Clompanus funicularis Rumph. is the same as Con- 

 narus gaudichaudii Planch. Lamarck, Encycl. 2 (1786) 52, 

 places it under Clompanus paniculatus Aubl., a species based 

 on material from tropical America, and one that has nothing to 

 do with the form that Rumphius figured and described. Miquel, 

 Fl. Ind. Bat. I 1 (1855) 349, suggested that it might be a species 

 of Millettia, where it certainly does not belong.

In proposing the name Adenanthera falcata Linn., in Stickman 

 Herb. Amb. (1754) 14, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 124, Linnaeus 

 referred to it both Clypearia alba and Clypearia rubra as rep- 

 resented by tt. Ill and 112 of Rumphius. I maintain that 

 the name must be typified by the first figure mentioned, that is 

 t. Ill, especially in view of the fact that in the Syst. ed. 10 

 (1759) 1020 and Sp. PL ed. 2 (1762) 550 Linnaeus excluded 

 under Adenanthera falcata and A. falcataria the reference to 

 t. 112, Clypearia rubra, limiting the species to Clypearia alba 

 Rumph. t. 111. I have not seen the original description of 

 Inga clypearia Jack, which was based on Sumatran specimens; 



* Retained name, Brussels Congress; Zygia Boehm. (1760) is older.
