RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 76, discusses it under Aeschy- 

 nomene indica Linn. var. aspera Hassk. and under Sesbania 

 polyphylla Miq. The Rumphian description calls for a plant 

 with larger leaves and longer pods than Gajatus niger (Sesbania 

 sesban Merr.) and with yellow flowers, and I believe that the 

 plant described is unmistakably Sesbania cannabina (Retz.) 

 Pers. It was introduced into Amboina in Rumphius's time. 

 The form from Bali with white flowers, merely mentioned by 

 Rumphius, is indeterminable, the only character given being 

 that the flowers are white.

Amboina, Binting, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 532, September 27, 1913, 

 at low altitudes, locally known as turi. 



Turia was originally reduced by Linnaeus to Aeschynomene 

 grandifiora Linn, in his Species Plantarum, ed. 2 (1763) 1060, 

 and the figure has very generally been cited by various authors 

 under one or the other of the synonyms cited above. Turia 

 minor Rumph. is the form with reddish or purplish flowers, 

 considered by early authors to represent a distinct species, 

 Sesbania coccinea (Linn, f.) Pers. (Aeschynomene coccinea Linn, 

 f., Coronilla coccinea Willd., Sesban coccinea Poir., Agati cocci- 

 nea DC), and by others considered as merely a variety of 

 Sesbania grandifiora Pers. It is manifestly but a color form of 

 the common and widely distributed Sesbania grandifiora (Linn.) 

 Pers.

Solulus arbor Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 200, t. 128. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections, but 

 according to Rumphius the plant is not a native of Amboina, 

 occurring there as an introduced and planted one. Loureiro, Fl. 

 Cochinch. (1790) 454, cites Solulus arbor as representing his 



Diphaca cochinchinensis=Ormocarpum cochinchinense (Lour.) 



* Retained name, Vienna Code; Diphaca Lour. (1790) is older.
